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.

9.1 Application Information

The TPS6226x device is a high-efficiency synchronous step-down DC/DC converter featuring power save mode or 2.25 MHz fixed frequency operation.

9.2.1 Design Requirements

The device operates over an input voltage range from 2 V to 6 V. The output voltage is adjustable using an external feedback divider.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

R1, R2 Values depending on the programmed output voltage

9.2.2.1 Output Voltage Setting

The output voltage can be calculated to:

TPS62260 TPS62261 TPS62262 TPS62263 inl1_vout_lvs763.gifwith an internal reference voltage VREF typical 0.6 V.

To minimize the current through the feedback divider network, R2 should be 180 kΩ or 360 kΩ. The sum of R1 and R2 should not exceed ~1 MΩ, to keep the network robust against noise.

An external feed forward capacitor C1 is required for optimum load transient response. The value of C1 should be in the range between 22 pF and 33 pF.

Route the FB line away from noise sources, such as the inductor or the SW line.

9.2.2.2 Output Filter Design (Inductor and Output Capacitor)

The TPS6226x is designed to operate with inductors in the range of 1.5 μH to 4.7 μH and with output capacitors in the range of 4.7 μF to 22 μF. The part is optimized for operation with a 2.2-μH inductor and 10-μF output capacitor.

Larger or smaller inductor values can be used to optimize the performance of the device for specific operation conditions. For stable operation, the L and C values of the output filter may not fall below 1-μH effective inductance and 3.5-μF effective capacitance.

Selecting larger capacitors is less critical because the corner frequency of the L-C filter moves to lower frequencies with fewer stability problems.

9.2.2.2.1 Inductor Selection

The inductor value has a direct effect on the ripple current. The selected inductor has to be rated for its DC resistance and saturation current. The inductor ripple current (ΔIL) decreases with higher inductance and increases with higher VIN or VOUT.

The inductor selection also has an impact on the output voltage ripple in the PFM mode. Higher inductor values will lead to lower output voltage ripple and higher PFM frequency, lower inductor values will lead to a higher output voltage ripple but lower PFM frequency.

Equation 2 calculates the maximum inductor current in PWM mode under static load conditions. The saturation current of the inductor should be rated higher than the maximum inductor current as calculated with Equation 3. This is recommended because during heavy load transient the inductor current will rise above the calculated value.

Equation 2. TPS62260 TPS62261 TPS62262 TPS62263 q3_delta_lvs763_.gif

where

  • f = Switching frequency (2.25-MHz typical)
  • L = Inductor value
  • ΔIL = Peak-to-peak inductor ripple current
Equation 3. TPS62260 TPS62261 TPS62262 TPS62263 q4_ilmax_lvs763.gif

where

  • ΔIL = Peak-to-peak inductor ripple current
  • ILmax = Maximum inductor current

A more conservative approach is to select the inductor current rating just for the maximum switch current limit ILIMF of the converter.

Accepting larger values of ripple current allows the use of lower inductance values, but results in higher output voltage ripple, greater core losses, and lower output current capability.

The total losses of the coil have a strong impact on the efficiency of the DC/DC conversion and consist of both the losses in the dc resistance (R(DC)) and the following frequency-dependent components:

  • The losses in the core material (magnetic hysteresis loss, especially at high switching frequencies)
  • Additional losses in the conductor from the skin effect (current displacement at high frequencies)
  • Magnetic field losses of the neighboring windings (proximity effect)
  • Radiation losses

9.2.2.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection

The advanced fast-response voltage mode control scheme of the TPS6226x allows the use of tiny ceramic capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with low ESR values have the lowest output voltage ripple and are recommended. The output capacitor requires either an X7R or X5R dielectric. Y5V and Z5U dielectric capacitors, aside from their wide variation in capacitance over temperature, become resistive at high frequencies.

At nominal load current, the device operates in PWM mode and the RMS ripple current is calculated as:

Equation 4. TPS62260 TPS62261 TPS62262 TPS62263 q5_irmsc_lvs763.gif

At nominal load current, the device operates in PWM mode and the overall output voltage ripple is the sum of the voltage spike caused by the output capacitor ESR plus the voltage ripple caused by charging and discharging the output capacitor:

Equation 5. TPS62260 TPS62261 TPS62262 TPS62263 q6_deltav_lvs763.gif

At light load currents, the converter operates in power save mode and the output voltage ripple is dependent on the output capacitor and inductor value. Larger output capacitor and inductor values minimize the voltage ripple in PFM mode and tighten DC output accuracy in PFM mode.

9.2.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection

An input capacitor is required for best input voltage filtering, and minimizing the interference with other circuits caused by high input voltage spikes. For most applications, a 4.7-μF to 10-μF ceramic capacitor is recommended. Because ceramic capacitor loses up to 80% of its initial capacitance at 5 V, it is recommended that 10-μF input capacitors be used for input voltages >4.5 V. The input capacitor can be increased without any limit for better input voltage filtering. Take care when using only small ceramic input capacitors. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input and the power is being supplied through long wires, such as from a wall adapter, a load step at the output or VIN step on the input can induce ringing at the VIN pin. This ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability or could even damage the part by exceeding the maximum ratings.
