7.3.4 Multiphase Output Configuration

The multiphase buck converter topology is created by putting multiple buck converters in parallel and involves interleaving the phases 360/N degrees apart from one another. Where N is the number of phases. Some advantages to the multiphase buck converter are:

  • Increased output current by N times
  • Reduced output voltage ripple
  • Reduced input current ripple
  • Improved thermal spreading

To configure the device in a multiphase output, the SS, EN, and COMP pins of the respective channels must be tied together as specified in Table 7-3. Review to see what multiphase configurations are supported by this device.

When selecting multiphase or multi-output configurations with this module, the phases are interleaved according to Table 7-2.

Table 7-2 Phase Interleaving per Configuration
CONFIG SW1 SW2
1+1 0° 180°
2+0

The individual channels in the TPSM8D7x20 can be configured as a standalone output, multiphase primary, or multiphase secondary. The primary device in a multiphase stack is always the first channel within the stack. The details of the recommended pin connections for each Primary and Secondary are given in Table 7-3.

Table 7-3 Multiphase Pin Connections
PIN PRIMARY SECONDARY
FB VOUT Resistor Divider NC/Float
EN VIN Resistor Divider or Enable/Control Connect to Primary's EN
SS Connect CSS from this pin to AGND Connect to Primary's SS
COMP Connect compensation network from this pin to AGND Connect to Primary's COMP
PG Connect RPG from this pin to VCC NC/Float
