PRODUCTION DATA
The design procedure for a 2-PH design using the TPSM8D7x20 is very similar to the 1-PH design procedure. The goal of this section is to describe the differences in the design procedure versus a single phase design as presented in Section 8.2
Following the guidelines in Section 7.3.4, the VOUT2, EN2, SS2, and COMP2 pins were tied to VOUT1, EN1, SS1, and COMP1 respectively. Because CH2 is a secondary channel, the user can leave PG and FB floating. The soft-start capacitor is set the same way as a single phase design.
The switching frequency is selected the same way as a single phase design using the RT pin.
To compensate the multiphase control loop, use the same equations in Section 8.2.2.8 to find RCOMP and CCOMP. Note that there is a variable called N which represents the total number of phases in the stack and is set to 2 in the case of 2-PH output. For the variable "C" in the RCOMP and CCOMP equations, use the total output capacitance on the 2-PH output.
