6.3.3 DC Load Line

The TPS544B27W device supports adaptive voltage positioning (AVP) also called DC Load Line (DCLL). Using a non-zero DCLL causes the output voltage to decrease proportionally to the output current. Using a non-zero DCLL is optional. A suggested DCLL setting is typically given in the requirements for the rail being powered by the device. If no droop is suggested, TI recommends setting DCLL to 0mΩ to avoid violating the VOUT tolerance band specification.

DCLL provides two potential benefits:

  • Reduces the total peak-to-peak output voltage excursion during transient load steps, allowing for reduced output capacitance and can compensate for the resistance in the system between the regulator and the load.
  • Reduces power consumption in the system when load current is high by automatically decreasing the output voltage.

The DCLL setting is configured through the DCLL_0 and DCLL_1 bit fields in the VBOOT_DCLL command. PMB_ADDR pinstrap selects between the two options. The active DCLL setting can be read through the VOUT_DROOP command.
