Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

Application Information

The TPS53316 device is a high-efficiency synchronous-buck converter. The device suits low output voltage point-of-load applications with 5-A or lower output current in computing and similar digital consumer applications.

Typical Application

This design example describes a voltage-mode, 5-A synchronous buck converter with integrated MOSFETs. The device provides a fixed 1.5-V output at up to 5 A from a 5-V input bus.

Detailed Design Procedure

Select the external components using the following steps.

Determine the Value of R1 and R2

The output voltage is programmed by the voltage-divider resistor, R1 and R2 shown in Figure 38. R1 is connected between VFB pin and the output, and R2 is connected between the VFB pin and GND. Recommended value for R1 is between 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ. Determine R2 using Equation 1.

Equation 1. TPS53316 q_r2_lusap5.gif

Choose the Inductor

The inductance value must be determined to give the ripple current of approximately 20% to 40% of maximum output current. The inductor ripple current is determined by Equation 2.

Equation 2. TPS53316 q_ilripple_lusap5.gif

The inductor also must have a low DCR to achieve good efficiency, as well as enough room above peak inductor current before saturation.

Choose the Output Capacitor(s)

The output capacitor selection is determined by output ripple and transient requirement. When operating in CCM, the output ripple has three components. VRIPPLE(C) represents the ripple due to the output capacitance and is shown in Equation 4.

Equation 4. TPS53316 q_vripplec_lusap5.gif
Equation 5. TPS53316 q_vrippleesr_lusap5.gif
Equation 6. TPS53316 q_vrippleesl_lusap5.gif

When ceramic output capacitor is chosen, the ESL component is usually negligible. In the case when multiple output capacitors are used, the total ESR and ESL must be the equivalent of the all output capacitors in parallel.

When operating in DCM, the output ripple is dominated by the component determined by capacitance. It also varies with load current and can be expressed as shown in Equation 7.

Equation 7. TPS53316 q_vrippleedcm_lusap5.gif

where

  • α is the DCM on-time coefficient (typical value is 1.25) and can be expressed as TPS53316 q_alpha_lusap5.gif

Figure 39 illustrates the DCM output voltage ripple.

Choose the Input Capacitors

The selection of input capacitor must be determined by the ripple current requirement. The ripple current generated by the converter must be absorbed by the input capacitors as well as the input source. The RMS ripple current from the converter can be expressed as shown in Equation 8.

Equation 8. TPS53316 q_iiripple_lusap5.gif

where

  • D is the duty cycle and can be expressed as TPS53316 q_d_lusap5.gif

To minimize the ripple current drawn from the input source, sufficient input decoupling capacitors must be placed close to the device. The ceramic capacitor is recommended due to the low ESR and low ESL. The input voltage ripple can be calculated in Equation 9 when the total input capacitance is determined.

Equation 9. TPS53316 q_vinripple_lusap5.gif

Compensation Design

The TPS53316 employs voltage mode control. To effectively compensation the power stage and ensures fast transient response, Type III compensation is typically used.

The control to output transfer function can be described in Equation 10.

Equation 10. TPS53316 q_gco_lusap5.gif

The output LC filter introduces a double pole which can be calculated in Equation 11.

Equation 11. TPS53316 q_fdp_lusap5.gif

The ESR zero of can be calculated in Equation 12.

Equation 12. TPS53316 q_fesr_lusap5.gif

Figure 40 shows the configuration of Type III compensation and typical pole and zero locations. Equation 13 through Equation 15 describe the compensator transfer function and poles and zeros of the Type III network.

Equation 17. TPS53316 q_fp2_lusap5.gif
Equation 18. TPS53316 q_fp3_lusap5.gif

The two zeros can be placed near the double-pole frequency to cancel the response from the double pole. One pole can be used to cancel ESR zero, and the other non-zero pole can be placed at half switching frequency to attenuate the high frequency noise and switching ripple. Suitable values can be selected to achieve a compromise between high phase margin and fast response. A phase margin higher than 45° is required for stable operation.

For DCM operation, a C3 capacitor value between 56 pF and 150 pF is recommended for output capacitance between 20 µF to 200 µF.
