Checking Loop Stability

The first step of circuit and stability evaluation is to look from a steady-state perspective at the following signals:

  • Switching node, SW
  • Inductor current, IL
  • Output ripple voltage, VOUT(AC)

These are the basic signals that need to be measured when evaluating a switching converter. When the switching waveform shows large duty cycle jitter or the output voltage or inductor current shows oscillations, the regulation loop may be unstable. This is often a result of board layout and/or L-C combination.

As a next step in the evaluation of the regulation loop, the load transient response is tested. The time between the application of the load transient and the turn on of the P-channel MOSFET, the output capacitor must supply all of the current required by the load. VOUT immediately shifts by an amount equal to ΔI(LOAD) x ESR, where ESR is the effective series resistance of COUT. ΔI(LOAD) begins to charge or discharge COUT generating a feedback error signal used by the regulator to return VOUT to its steady-state value. The results are most easily interpreted when the device operates in PWM mode.

During this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for settling time, overshoot or ringing that helps judge the converter’s stability. Without any ringing, the loop has usually more than 45° of phase margin. Because the damping factor of the circuitry is directly related to several resistive parameters (that is, MOSFET rDS(on)) that are temperature dependant, the loop stability analysis has to be done over the input voltage range, load current range, and temperature range.

The TPS6128xD series of step-up converters have been optimized to operate with a effective inductance in the range of 200 nH to 800 nH and with output capacitors in the range of 8 µF to 100 µF. The internal compensation is optimized for an output filter of L = 0.5 µH and CO = 15 µF.
