8 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.

8.1 Application Information

TPS51716 is typically used as step down converters, which converts a voltage from 3V- 28V to 0.7 V to 1.8 V output voltage and provide a total solution to memory system.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The following design procedure can be used to select component values for the TPS51716.

8.2.2.1 External Components Selection

The external components selection is a simple process.

  1. Determine the value of R1 and R2
  2. The output voltage is determined by the value of the voltage-divider resistor, R1 and R2. R1 is connected between VREF and REFIN pins, and R2 is connected between the REFIN pin and GND. Setting R1 to 10-kΩ is a good starting point. Determine R2 using Equation 5.

    Equation 5. TPS51716 q_r2_lusb94.gif

    For an application using organic semiconductor capacitor(s) or specialty polymer capacitor(s) for the output capacitor(s), the output voltage ripple can be calculated as shown in Equation 6.

    Equation 6. TPS51716 q_voutripple1_lusb94.gif

    For an application using ceramic capacitor(s) as the output capacitor(s), the output voltage ripple can be calculated as shown in Equation 7.

    Equation 7. TPS51716 q_voutripple2_lusb94.gif
  3. Choose the inductor
  4. The inductance value should be determined to yield a ripple current of approximately ¼ to ½ of maximum output current. Larger ripple current increases output ripple voltage and improves the signal-to-noise ratio and helps stable operation.

    Equation 8. TPS51716 q_lx_lusab9.gif

    The inductor needs a low direct current resistance (DCR) to achieve good efficiency, as well as enough room above peak inductor current before saturation. The peak inductor current can be estimated in Equation 9.

    Equation 9. TPS51716 q_iindpeak_lusae1.gif
  5. Choose the OCL setting resistance, RTRIP
  6. Combining Equation 1 and Equation 2, RTRIP can be obtained using Equation 10.

    Equation 10. TPS51716 q_rtrip1_lusab9.gif
  7. Choose the output capacitors
  8. Determine output capacitance to meet small signal stability as shown in Equation 11.

    Equation 11. TPS51716 q_3timesfp_lusae1.gif

    where

    • RC × CC time constant is 23 µs for 500 kHz operation (or 14.6 µs for 670-kHz operation)
    • G = 0.25
