This device integrates two step-down converters and four LDOs, which can be used to power the voltage rails needed by a processor or any other application. The PMIC can be controlled through the ENABLE and MODE pins or sequenced from the VIN using RC delay circuits. There is a logic output, RESET, provide the application processor or load a logic signal indicating power good or reset.

The output voltage of converter 1 can be set by an external resistor network. The output voltage can be calculated using Equation 4.
with an internal reference voltage Vref, 0.6 V .
TI recommends setting the total resistance of R1 + R2 to less than 1 MΩ. The resistor network connects to the input of the feedback amplifier, therefore, requiring a small feedforward capacitor in parallel to R1. A typical value of 47 pF is sufficient.
For the TPS65052 and TPS65056 devices, the DCDC1 output voltage is internally fixed to 3.3 V.
The output voltage of converter 2 can be selected as following:
Converter 2 | DEFDCDC2 = low | DEFDCDC2 = high |
---|---|---|
TPS65050 | — | — |
TPS65051 | — | — |
TPS65052 | 1 V | 1.3 V |
TPS65054 | 1.3 V | 1.05 V |
TPS65056 | 1 V | 1.3 V |
The adjustable output voltage can be calculated similarly to the DCDC1 converter. Setting the total resistance of R3 + R4 to less than 1 MΩ is recommended. Route the DEFDCDC2 line separate from noise sources, such as the inductor or the L2 line. The VDCDC2 line needs to be directly connected to the output capacitor. As the VDCDC2 line is the feedback to the internal amplifier, no feedforward capacitor at R3 is needed.
Using an external resistor divider at DEFDCDC2:
V(DEFDCDC2) = 0.6 V
See Table 4 for typical resistor values:
OUTPUT VOLTAGE | R1 | R2 | NOMINAL VOLTAGE | Typical CFF |
---|---|---|---|---|
3.3 V | 680 kΩ | 150 kΩ | 3.32 V | 47 pF |
3 V | 510 kΩ | 130 kΩ | 2.95 V | 47 pF |
2.85 V | 560 kΩ | 150 kΩ | 2.84 V | 47 pF |
2.5 V | 510 kΩ | 160 kΩ | 2.51 V | 47 pF |
1.8 V | 300 kΩ | 150 kΩ | 1.8 v | 47 pF |
1.6 V | 200 kΩ | 120 kΩ | 1.6 V | 47 pF |
1.5 V | 300 kΩ | 200 kΩ | 1.5 V | 47 pF |
1.2 V | 330 kΩ | 330 kΩ | 1.2 V | 47 pF |
The two converters operate with 2.2-μH output inductor. Larger or smaller inductor values can be used to optimize the performance of the device for specific operation conditions. The selected inductor has to be rated for its DC resistance and saturation current. The DC resistance of the inductance directly influences the efficiency of the converter. Therefore, an inductor with lowest DC resistance should be selected for highest efficiency. The minimum inductor value is 1.5 μH, but an output capacitor of 22 μF minimum is needed in this case. For an output voltage above 2.8 V, TI recommends an inductor value of 3.3 μH (minimum). Lower values result in an increased output voltage ripple in PFM mode.
Use Equation 6 to calculate the maximum inductor current under static load conditions. The saturation current of the inductor should be rated greater than the maximum inductor current as calculated with Equation 6. TI recommends this because during heavy load transient the inductor current rises above the calculated value.
where
The highest inductor current occurs at maximum VI. Open core inductors have a soft saturation characteristic, and they can normally handle greater inductor currents versus a comparable shielded inductor.
A more conservative approach is to select the inductor current rating just for the maximum switch current of the corresponding converter. Consideration must be given to the difference in the core material from inductor to inductor which has an impact on the efficiency especially at high switching frequencies. See Table 5 and the typical applications for possible inductors.

LPS3010 | 2.2 μH | Coilcraft |
LPS3015 | 3.3 μH | Coilcraft |
LPS4012 | 2.2 μH | Coilcraft |
VLF4012 | 2.2 μH | TDK |
The advanced Fast Response voltage mode control scheme of the two converters allows the use of small ceramic capacitors with a value of 22-μF (typical) without having large output voltage undershoots and overshoots during heavy load transients. Ceramic capacitors having low ESR values result in lowest output voltage ripple, and are recommended.
If ceramic output capacitors are used, the capacitor RMS ripple current rating always meets the application requirements. For completeness, the RMS ripple current is calculated as:
At nominal load current, the inductive converters operate in PWM mode, and the overall output voltage ripple is the sum of the voltage spike caused by the output capacitor ESR plus the voltage ripple caused by charging and discharging the output capacitor:
where
At light load currents, the converters operate in Power-Save Mode and the output voltage ripple is dependent on the output capacitor value. The output voltage ripple is set by the internal comparator delay and the external capacitor. The typical output voltage ripple is less than 1% of the nominal output voltage.
Because of the nature of the buck converter having a pulsating input current, a low ESR input capacitor is required for best input voltage filtering and minimizing the interference with other circuits caused by high input voltage spikes. The converters need a ceramic input capacitor of 10 μF. The input capacitor can be increased without any limit for better input voltage filtering.

The output voltage of all 4 LDOs in the TPS65051, TPS65054, and TPS65056 devices are set by an external resistor network. The output voltage is calculated using Equation 9.
where
TI recommends setting the total resistance of R5 + R6 to less than 1 MΩ. Typically, there is no feedforward capacitor needed at the voltage dividers for the LDOs.
Typical resistor values:
The PB-ONOFF output can be used to enable one or several converters. After power up, the PB_OUT pin is low, and pulls down the enable pins connected to PB_OUT; EN_DCDC1, and EN_LDO1 in Figure 15. When PB_IN is pulled to VCC for longer than 32 ms, the PB_OUT pin is turned off, hence the enable pins pulled high using a pullup resistor to VCC. This enables the DCDC1 converter and LDO1. The output voltage of DCDC1 (VOUT1) is used as the enable signal for DCDC2 and LDO2 to LDO4. LDO1 with its output voltage of 3.3 V and LDO2 for an output voltage of 2.5 V are powered from the battery (V(bat)) directly. To save power, the input voltage for the lower voltage rails at LDO3 and LDO4 are derived from the output of the step-down converters, keeping the voltage drop at the LDOs low to increase efficiency. As LDO3 and LDO4 are powered from the output of DCDC1, the total output current on VOUT1, LDO3 and LDO4 must not exceed the maximum rating of DCDC1.
Figure 17 shows the power-up timing for this example application.
The TPS65051, TPS65052, TPS65054, and TPS65056 devices contain a comparator that is used to supervise a voltage connected to an external voltage divider, and generate a reset signal if the voltage is lower than the threshold. The rising edge is delayed by 100 ms at the open-drain RESET output. The values for the external resistors R13 to R15 are calculated as follows:
Set R15 = 100 kΩ
→ R13 + R14 = 240 kΩ
→ R14 = 3.03 kΩ
→ R13 = 237 kΩ
