8.2.2.9.1 Minimum Output Voltage
Due to the internal design of the TPS54320, there is a minimum output voltage limit for any given input voltage. The output voltage can never be lower than the internal voltage reference of 0.8 V. Above 0.8 V, the output voltage may be limited by the minimum controllable on-time. The minimum output voltage in this case is given by Equation 31.
Equation 31. V
OUTmin = Ontimemin × Fsmax (V
INmax + I
OUTmin (RDS2min – RDS1min)) – I
OUTmin (R
L + RDS2min)
where
- VOUTmin = Minimum achievable output voltage
- Ontimemin = Minimum controllable on-time (135 ns maximum)
- Fsmax = Maximum switching frequency including tolerance
- VINmax = Maximum input voltage
- IOUTmin = Minimum load current
- RDS1min = Minimum high-side MOSFET on resistance (57 mΩ typical)
- RDS2min = Minimum low-side MOSFET on resistance (50 mΩ typical)
- RL = Series resistance of output inductor
