Selecting the Switching Frequency

The first step is to choose a switching frequency for the regulator. Typically, the designer uses the highest switching frequency possible since this produces the smallest solution size. High switching frequency allows for lower value inductors and smaller output capacitors compared to a power supply that switches at a lower frequency. The switching frequency that can be selected is limited by the minimum on-time of the internal power switch, the input voltage, the output voltage and the frequency foldback protection.

Equation 9 and Equation 10 should be used to calculate the upper limit of the switching frequency for the regulator. Choose the lower value result from the two equations. Switching frequencies higher than these values results in pulse skipping or the lack of overcurrent protection during a short circuit.

The typical minimum on time, tonmin, is 135 ns for the TPS54340. For this example, the output voltage is 3.3 V and the maximum input voltage is 42 V, which allows for a maximum switch frequency up to 712 kHz to avoid pulse skipping from Equation 9. To ensure overcurrent runaway is not a concern during short circuits use Equation 10 to determine the maximum switching frequency for frequency foldback protection. With a maximum input voltage of 42 V, assuming a diode voltage of 0.7 V, inductor resistance of 21 mΩ, switch resistance of 92 mΩ, a current limit value of 4.7 A and short circuit output voltage of 0.1 V, the maximum switching frequency is 1260 kHz.

For this design, a lower switching frequency of 600 kHz is chosen to operate comfortably below the calculated maximums. To determine the timing resistance for a given switching frequency, use Equation 7 or the curve in Figure 6. The switching frequency is set by resistor R3 shown in Figure 32. For 600 kHz operation, the closest standard value resistor is 162 kΩ.

Equation 26. TPS54340 q_7a_values_lvsBK0.gif
Equation 27. TPS54340 q_4a_values_lvsbb4.gif

Output Inductor Selection (LO)

To calculate the minimum value of the output inductor, use Equation 28.

KIND is a ratio that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output capacitor. Therefore, choosing high inductor ripple currents impacts the selection of the output capacitor since the output capacitor must have a ripple current rating equal to or greater than the inductor ripple current. In general, the inductor ripple value is at the discretion of the designer, however, the following guidelines may be used.

For designs using low ESR output capacitors such as ceramics, a value as high as KIND = 0.3 may be desirable. When using higher ESR output capacitors, KIND = 0.2 yields better results. Since the inductor ripple current is part of the current mode PWM control system, the inductor ripple current should always be greater than 150 mA for stable PWM operation. In a wide input voltage regulator, it is best to choose relatively large inductor ripple current. This provides sufficient ripple current with the input voltage at the minimum.

For this design example, KIND = 0.3 and the minimum inductor value is calculated to be 4.8 μH. The nearest standard value is 5.6 μH. It is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings of the inductor not be exceeded. The RMS and peak inductor current can be found from Equation 30 and Equation 31. For this design, the RMS inductor current is 3.5 A and the peak inductor current is 3.95 A. The chosen inductor is a WE 7443552560, which has a saturation current rating of 7.5 A and an RMS current rating of 6.7 A.

As the equation set demonstrates, lower ripple currents will reduce the output voltage ripple of the regulator but will require a larger value of inductance. Selecting higher ripple currents will increase the output voltage ripple of the regulator but allow for a lower inductance value.

The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus the output current. During power up, faults or transient load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the peak inductor current level calculated above. In transient conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the switch current limit of the device. For this reason, the most conservative design approach is to choose an inductor with a saturation current rating equal to or greater than the switch current limit of the TPS54340 which is nominally 5.5 A.

Output Capacitor

There are three primary considerations for selecting the value of the output capacitor. The output capacitor determines the modulator pole, the output voltage ripple, and how the regulator responds to a large change in load current. The output capacitance needs to be selected based on the most stringent of these three criteria.

The desired response to a large change in the load current is the first criteria. The output capacitor needs to supply the increased load current until the regulator responds to the load step. The regulator does not respond immediately to a large, fast increase in the load current such as transitioning from no load to a full load. The regulator usually needs two or more clock cycles for the control loop to sense the change in output voltage and adjust the peak switch current in response to the higher load. The output capacitance must be large enough to supply the difference in current for 2 clock cycles to maintain the output voltage within the specified range. Equation 32 shows the minimum output capacitance necessary, where ΔIOUT is the change in output current, ƒsw is the regulators switching frequency and ΔVOUT is the allowable change in the output voltage. For this example, the transient load response is specified as a 4% change in VOUT for a load step from 0.875 A to 2.625 A. Therefore, ΔIOUT is 2.625 A - 0.875 A = 1.75 A and ΔVOUT = 0.04 × 3.3 = 0.13 V. Using these numbers gives a minimum capacitance of 44.9 μF. This value does not take the ESR of the output capacitor into account in the output voltage change. For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is usually small enough to be ignored. Aluminum electrolytic and tantalum capacitors have higher ESR that must be included in load step calculations.

The output capacitor must also be sized to absorb energy stored in the inductor when transitioning from a high to low load current. The catch diode of the regulator can not sink current so energy stored in the inductor can produce an output voltage overshoot when the load current rapidly decreases. A typical load step response is shown in Figure Figure 33. The excess energy absorbed in the output capacitor will increase the voltage on the capacitor. The capacitor must be sized to maintain the desired output voltage during these transient periods. Equation 33 calculates the minimum capacitance required to keep the output voltage overshoot to a desired value, where LO is the value of the inductor, IOH is the output current under heavy load, IOL is the output under light load, Vf is the peak output voltage, and VI is the initial voltage. For this example, the worst case load step will be from 2.625 A to 0.875 A. The output voltage increases during this load transition and the stated maximum in our specification is 4 % of the output voltage. This makes Vf = 1.04 × 3.3 = 3.432. Vi is the initial capacitor voltage which is the nominal output voltage of 3.3 V. Using these numbers in Equation 33 yields a minimum capacitance of 38.6 μF.

Equation 34 calculates the minimum output capacitance needed to meet the output voltage ripple specification, where ƒsw is the switching frequency, VORIPPLE is the maximum allowable output voltage ripple, and IRIPPLE is the inductor ripple current. Equation 34 yields 11.4 μF.

Equation 35 calculates the maximum ESR an output capacitor can have to meet the output voltage ripple specification. Equation 35 indicates the ESR should be less than 18 mΩ.

The most stringent criteria for the output capacitor is 44.9 μF required to maintain the output voltage within regulation tolerance during a load transient.

Capacitance de-ratings for aging, temperature and dc bias increases this minimum value. For this example, 100 μF ceramic capacitors with 5 mΩ of ESR is used. The derated capacitance is 70 µF, well above the minimum required capacitance of 44.9 µF.

Capacitors are generally rated for a maximum ripple current that can be filtered without degrading capacitor reliability. Some capacitor data sheets specify the Root Mean Square (RMS) value of the maximum ripple current. Equation 36 can be used to calculate the RMS ripple current that the output capacitor must support. For this example, Equation 36 yields 261 mA.

Catch Diode

The TPS54340 requires an external catch diode between the SW terminal and GND. The selected diode must have a reverse voltage rating equal to or greater than VIN(max). The peak current rating of the diode must be greater than the maximum inductor current. Schottky diodes are typically a good choice for the catch diode due to their low forward voltage. The lower the forward voltage of the diode, the higher the efficiency of the regulator.

Typically, diodes with higher voltage and current ratings have higher forward voltages. A diode with a minimum of 42 V reverse voltage is preferred to allow input voltage transients up to the rated voltage of the TPS54340.

For the example design, the B560C-13-F Schottky diode is selected for its lower forward voltage and good thermal characteristics compared to smaller devices. The typical forward voltage of the B560C-13-F is 0.70 volts at 5 A.

The diode must also be selected with an appropriate power rating. The diode conducts the output current during the off-time of the internal power switch. The off-time of the internal switch is a function of the maximum input voltage, the output voltage, and the switching frequency. The output current during the off-time is multiplied by the forward voltage of the diode to calculate the instantaneous conduction losses of the diode. At higher switching frequencies, the ac losses of the diode need to be taken into account. The ac losses of the diode are due to the charging and discharging of the junction capacitance and reverse recovery charge. Equation 37 is used to calculate the total power dissipation, including conduction losses and ac losses of the diode.

The B560C-13-F diode has a junction capacitance of 300 pF. Using Equation 37, the total loss in the diode is 2.42 Watts.

If the power supply spends a significant amount of time at light load currents or in sleep mode, consider using a diode which has a low leakage current and slightly higher forward voltage drop.

Equation 37. TPS54340 q_pd_lvsBK0.gif

Input Capacitor

The TPS54340 requires a high quality ceramic type X5R or X7R input decoupling capacitor with at least 3 μF of effective capacitance. Some applications will benefit from additional bulk capacitance. The effective capacitance includes any loss of capacitance due to dc bias effects. The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be greater than the maximum input voltage. The capacitor must also have a ripple current rating greater than the maximum input current ripple of the TPS54340. The input ripple current can be calculated using Equation 38.

The value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly with temperature and the dc bias applied to the capacitor. The capacitance variations due to temperature can be minimized by selecting a dielectric material that is more stable over temperature. X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics are usually selected for switching regulator capacitors because they have a high capacitance to volume ratio and are fairly stable over temperature. The input capacitor must also be selected with consideration for the dc bias. The effective value of a capacitor decreases as the dc bias across a capacitor increases.

For this example design, a ceramic capacitor with at least a 42 V voltage rating is required to support the maximum input voltage. Common standard ceramic capacitor voltage ratings include 4 V, 6.3 V, 10 V, 16 V, 25 V, 50 V or 100 V. For this example, two 2.2 μF, 100 V capacitors in parallel are used. Table 2 shows several choices of high voltage capacitors.

The input capacitance value determines the input ripple voltage of the regulator. The input voltage ripple can be calculated using Equation 39. Using the design example values, IOUT = 3.5 A, CIN = 4.4 μF, ƒsw = 600 kHz, yields an input voltage ripple of 331 mV and a rms input ripple current of 1.74 A.

Bootstrap Capacitor Selection

A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the BOOT and SW terminals for proper operation. A ceramic capacitor with X5R or better grade dielectric is recommended. The capacitor should have a 10 V or higher voltage rating.

Undervoltage Lockout Set Point

The Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) can be adjusted using an external voltage divider on the EN terminal of the TPS54340. The UVLO has two thresholds, one for power up when the input voltage is rising and one for power down or brown outs when the input voltage is falling. For the example design, the supply should turn on and start switching once the input voltage increases above 5.75 V (UVLO start). After the regulator starts switching, it should continue to do so until the input voltage falls below 4.5 V (UVLO stop).

Programmable UVLO threshold voltages are set using the resistor divider of RUVLO1 and RUVLO2 between Vin and ground connected to the EN terminal. Equation 4 and Equation 5 calculate the resistance values necessary. For the example application, a 365 kΩ between Vin and EN (RUVLO1) and a 86.6 kΩ between EN and ground (RUVLO2) are required to produce the 8 V and 6.25 V start and stop voltages.

Equation 40. TPS54340 q_R1_lvsBK0.gif
Equation 41. TPS54340 q_R2_lvsBK0.gif

Output Voltage and Feedback Resistors Selection

The voltage divider of R5 and R6 sets the output voltage. For the example design, 10.2 kΩ was selected for R6. Using Equation 3, R5 is calculated as 31.9 kΩ. The nearest standard 1% resistor is 31.6 kΩ. Due to the input current of the FB terminal, the current flowing through the feedback network should be greater than 1 μA to maintain the output voltage accuracy. This requirement is satisfied if the value of R6 is less than 800 kΩ. Choosing higher resistor values decreases quiescent current and improves efficiency at low output currents but may also introduce noise immunity problems.

Equation 42. TPS54340 q_Rhs_Rls_lvsBK0.gif

Minimum VIN

To ensure proper operation of the device and to keep the output voltage in regulation, the input voltage at the device must be above the value calculated with Equation 43. Using the typical values for the RHS, RDC and VF in this application example, the minimum input voltage is 5.56 V. The BOOT-SW = 3 V curve in Figure 1 was used for RDS(on) = 0.12 Ω because the device operates with low drop out. When operating with low dropout, the BOOT-SW voltage is regulated at a lower voltage because the BOOT-SW capacitor is not refreshed every switching cycle. In the final application, the values of RDS(on), Rdc and VF used in this equation must include tolerance of the component specifications and the variation of these specifications at their maximum operating temperature in the application. In this application example the calculated minimum input voltage is near the input voltage UVLO for the TPS54340 so the device may turn off before going into drop out.

Equation 43. TPS54340 q_minimum_vin_slvsbk0.gif

Compensation

There are several methods to design compensation for DC-DC regulators. The method presented here is easy to calculate and ignores the effects of the slope compensation that is internal to the device. Since the slope compensation is ignored, the actual crossover frequency will be lower than the crossover frequency used in the calculations. This method assumes the crossover frequency is between the modulator pole and the ESR zero and the ESR zero is at least 10 times greater the modulator pole.

To get started, the modulator pole, ƒp(mod), and the ESR zero, ƒz1 must be calculated using Equation 44 and Equation 45. For COUT, use a derated value of 70 μF. Use equations Equation 46 and Equation 47 to estimate a starting point for the crossover frequency, ƒco. For the example design, ƒp(mod) is 2411 Hz and ƒz(mod) is 455 kHz. Equation 45 is the geometric mean of the modulator pole and the ESR zero and Equation 47 is the mean of modulator pole and the switching frequency. Equation 46 yields 33.1 kHz and Equation 47 gives 26.9 kHz. Use the lower value of Equation 46 or Equation 47 for an initial crossover frequency. For this example, the target ƒco is 26.9 kHz.

Next, the compensation components are calculated. A resistor in series with a capacitor is used to create a compensating zero. A capacitor in parallel to these two components forms the compensating pole.

Equation 46. TPS54340 q_fco_48khz_lvsBK0.gif
Equation 47. TPS54340 q_fco_25khz_lvsBK0.gif

To determine the compensation resistor, R4, use Equation 48. Assume the power stage transconductance, gmps, is 12 A/V. The output voltage, VO, reference voltage, VREF, and amplifier transconductance, gmea, are 5 V, 0.8 V and 350 μA/V, respectively. R4 is calculated to be 11.6 kΩ and a standard value of 11.5 kΩ is selected. Use Equation 49 to set the compensation zero to the modulator pole frequency. Equation 49 yields 5740 pF for compensating capacitor C5. 5600 pF is used for this design.

Equation 48. TPS54340 q_R4_lvsBK0.gif
Equation 49. TPS54340 q_C5_lvsBK0.gif

A compensation pole can be implemented if desired by adding capacitor C8 in parallel with the series combination of R4 and C5. Use the larger value calculated from Equation 50 and Equation 51 for C8 to set the compensation pole. The selected value of C8 is 47 pF for this design example.

Discontinuous Conduction Mode and Eco-mode Boundary

With an input voltage of 12 V, the power supply enters discontinuous conduction mode when the output current is less than 342 mA. The power supply enters Eco-mode when the output current is lower than 31.4 mA. The input current draw is 237 μA with no load.

Power Dissipation

The following formulas show how to estimate the TPS54340 power dissipation under continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation. These equations should not be used if the device is operating in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM).

The power dissipation of the IC includes conduction loss (PCOND), switching loss (PSW), gate drive loss (PGD) and supply current (PQ). Example calculations are shown with the 12 V typical input voltage of the design example.
