8.3.2.1.1 BUCK Regulator Overview

The TPS6593-Q1 includes five synchronous buck converters, of which four can be combined in multi-phase configuration. All of the buck converters support the following features:

  • Automatic mode control based on the loading (PFM or PWM mode) or Forced-PWM mode operation
  • External clock synchronization option to minimize crosstalk
  • Optional spread spectrum technique to reduce EMI
  • Soft start
  • AVS support with configurable slew-rate
  • Windowed undervoltage and overvoltage monitors with configurable threshold
  • Windowed voltage monitor for external supply when the buck converter is inactive
  • Output Current Limit
  • Short-to-Ground Detection on SW_Bx pins at start-up of the buck regulator

When the outputs of these buck converters are combined in multi-phase configuration, it also supports the following features:

  • Current balancing between the phases of the converter
  • Differential voltage sensing from point of the load
  • Phase shifted outputs for EMI reduction
  • Optional dynamic phase shedding or adding

There are two modes of operation for the buck converter, depending on the required output current: pulse-width modulation (PWM) and pulse-frequency modulation (PFM). The converter operates in PWM mode at high load currents of approximately 600 mA or higher. Lighter output current loads cause the converter to automatically switch into PFM mode for reduced current consumption. The device avoids pulse skipping and allows easy filtering of the switch noise by external filter components when forced-PWM mode is selected (BUCKn_FPWM = 1). The forced-PWM mode is the recommended mode of operation for the buck converter to achieve better ripple and transient performance. The drawback of this forced-PWM mode is the higher quiescent current at low output current levels.

When operating in PWM mode the phases of a multi-phase regulator are automatically added or shed based on the load current level. The forced multi-phase mode can be enabled for lower ripple at the output.

Figure 8-2 shows a block diagram of a single core.

Figure 8-3 shows the interleaving switching action of the multi-phase converters.
