FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 SWIFT integrated circuit is a  
full-featured 6-V, 6-A, synchronous step-down

Qualified for Automotive Applications  
AEC-Q100 Qualified With the Following  
Results:  
current-mode  
MOSFETs.  
converter  
with  
two  
integrated  
Device Temperature Grade 1: –40°C to  
125°C Ambient Operating Temperature  
Range  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 enables small designs by  
integrating the MOSFETs, implementing current-  
mode control to reduce external component count,  
reducing inductor size by enabling up to 2-MHz  
switching frequency, and minimizing the IC footprint  
with a small 3-mm × 3-mm thermally enhanced QFN  
package.  
Device HBM ESD Classification Level H2  
Device CDM ESD Classification Level C4B  
Two 12-m(Typical) MOSFETs for High  
Efficiency at 6-A Loads  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 provides accurate regulation  
for a variety of loads with an accurate ±1% voltage  
reference (VREF) overtemperature.  
300-kHz to 2-MHz Switching Frequency  
0.8-V ±1% Voltage Reference Overtemperature  
(–40°C to 150°C)  
The integrated 12-mMOSFETs and 515-μA typical  
supply current maximize efficiency. Using the enable  
pin reduces the shutdown supply current to 5.5 µA  
when the device enters shutdown mode.  
Synchronizes to External Clock  
Adjustable Slow Start and Sequencing  
UV and OV Power-Good Output  
Thermally Enhanced 3-mm × 3-mm 16-pin QFN  
The undervoltage lockout internal setting is 2.6 V, but  
can be increased by programming the threshold with  
a resistor network on the enable pin. The slow-start  
pin controls the output-voltage start-up ramp. An  
open-drain power-good signal indicates when the  
output is within 93% to 107% of its nominal voltage.  
APPLICATIONS  
Low-Voltage, High-Density Power Systems  
Point-of-Load Regulation for High-  
Performance DSPs, FPGAs, ASICs, and  
Microprocessors  
Frequency foldback and thermal shutdown protect the  
device during an overcurrent condition.  
Broadband, Networking, and Optical  
Communications Infrastructure  
The SwitcherPro™ software tool, available at  
www.ti.com/switcherpro, supports the TPS54618RTE-  
Q1.

SLVSBY9C AUGUST 2013REVISED DECEMBER 2013  
OVERVIEW  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 is a 6-V, 6-A, synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated n-channel  
MOSFETs. To improve performance during line and load transients, the device implements a constant-  
frequency, peak-current-mode control which reduces output capacitance and simplifies external frequency-  
compensation design. The wide switching-frequency range of 200 to 2000 kHz allows for efficiency and size  
optimization when selecting the output-filter components. A resistor to ground on the RT/CLK pin adjusts the  
switching frequency. The device has an internal phase-lock loop (PLL) on the RT/CLK pin that synchronizes the  
power switch turnon to the falling edge of an external system clock.  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 has a typical default start-up voltage of 2.45 V. The EN pin has an internal pullup current  
source that is usable for adjusting the input voltage undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with two external resistors. In  
addition, the pullup current provides a default condition for the device to operate when the EN pin is floating. The  
total operating current for the TPS54618RTE-Q1 is typically 515 μA when not switching and under no load.  
When the device is disabled, the supply current is less than 5.5 μA.  
The integrated 12-mMOSFETs allow for high-efficiency power-supply designs with continuous output currents  
up to 6 amperes.  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode. A  
capacitor between the BOOT and PH pins supplies the bias voltage for the integrated high-side MOSFET. A  
UVLO circuit monitors the boot capacitor voltage and turns off the high-side MOSFET when the voltage falls  
below a preset threshold. This BOOT circuit allows the TPS54618RTE-Q1 to operate approaching 100%. The  
device can step down the output voltage to as low as the 0.799-V reference.  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 has a power-good (PWRGD) comparator with 2% hysteresis.  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 minimizes excessive output overvoltage transients by taking advantage of the  
overvoltage power-good comparator. The regulated output voltage rising above 109% of the nominal voltage  
activates the overvoltage comparator, turning off the high-side MOSFET and masking it from turning back on  
until the output voltage is lower than 107%.  
A use of the SS/TR (slow start/tracking) pin is to minimize inrush currents or provide power-supply sequencing  
during power up. Couple a small-value capacitor to the pin for slow start. Discharge of the SS/TR pin occurs  
before the output power up to ensure a repeatable restart after an overtemperature fault, UVLO fault, or disabled  
condition.  
The use of a frequency fold-back circuit reduces the switching frequency during start-up and overcurrent fault  
conditions to help limit the inductor current.  
DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
FIXED FREQUENCY PWM CONTROL  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 uses an adjustable fixed-frequency, peak-current-mode control. External resistors on the  
VSENSE pin compare the output voltage to an internal voltage reference by an error amplifier which drives the  
COMP pin. An internal oscillator initiates the turnon of the high-side power switch. The device compares the  
error-amplifier output to the high-side power-switch current. When the power-switch current reaches the COMP  
voltage level, the high-side power switch turns off and the low-side power switch turns on. The COMP pin voltage  
increases and decreases as the output current increases and decreases. The device implements a current limit  
by clamping the COMP pin voltage to a maximum level and also implements a minimum clamp for improved  
transient response performance.  
SLOPE COMPENSATION AND OUTPUT CURRENT  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 adds a compensating ramp to the switch-current signal. This slope compensation  
prevents sub-harmonic oscillations as duty cycle increases. The available peak inductor current remains constant  
over the full duty-cycle range.

BOOTSTRAP VOLTAGE (BOOT) AND LOW-DROPOUT OPERATION  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 has an integrated boot regulator and requires a small ceramic capacitor between the  
BOOT and PH pins to provide the gate-drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. The value of the ceramic  
capacitor should be 0.1 μF. TI recommends a ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric with a  
voltage rating of 10 V or higher because of the stable characteristics over temperature and voltage.  
To improve dropout, the TPS54618RTE-Q1 operates at 100% duty cycle as long as the BOOT to PH pin voltage  
is greater than 2.2 V. The high-side MOSFET turns off using a UVLO circuit, allowing for the low-side MOSFET  
to conduct when the voltage from BOOT to PH drops below 2.2 V. Because the supply current sourced from the  
BOOT pin is very low, the high-side MOSFET can remain on for more switching cycles than are required to  
refresh the capacitor. Thus, the effective duty cycle of the switching regulator is very high.  
ERROR AMPLIFIER  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 has a transconductance amplifier. The error amplifier compares the VSENSE voltage to  
the lower of the SS/TR pin voltage or the internal 0.799-V voltage reference. The transconductance of the error  
amplifier is 245 μA/V during normal operation. When the voltage of VSENSE pin is below 0.799 V and the device  
is regulating using the SS/TR voltage, the gm is typically greater than 79 μA/V, but less than 245 μA/V. The  
placement of frequency-compensation components is between the COMP pin and ground.  
VOLTAGE REFERENCE  
The voltage-reference system produces a precise ±1% voltage reference over temperature by scaling the output  
of a temperature-stable band-gap circuit. The band-gap and scaling circuits produce 0.799 V at the non-inverting  
input of the error amplifier.  
ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE  
A resistor divider from the output node to the VSENSE pin sets the output voltage. TI recommends using divider  
resistors with 1% tolerance or better. Start with 100 kfor the R1 resistor and use Equation 1 to calculate R2. To  
improve efficiency at very light loads, consider using larger-value resistors. If the values are too high, the  
regulator is more susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VSENSE input current are noticeable.

ENABLE AND ADJUSTING UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT  
The VIN pin voltage falling below 2.28 Vdisables the TPS54618RTE-Q1. If an application requires a higher  
undervoltage lockout (UVLO), use the EN pin as shown in Figure 27 to adjust the input-voltage UVLO by using  
two external resistors. TI recommends using the EN resistors to set the UVLO falling threshold (VSTOP) above 2.6  
V. Set the rising threshold (VSTART) to provide enough hysteresis to allow for any input supply variations. The EN  
pin has an internal pullup current source that provides the default condition of the TPS54618RTE-Q1 operating  
when the EN pin floats. Once the EN pin voltage exceeds 1.25 V, an additional 1.6 μA of hysteresis is added.  
Pulling the EN pin below 1.18 V removes the 1.6 μA. This additional current facilitates input-voltage hysteresis.

SLOW-START OR TRACKING PIN  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 regulates to the lower of the SS/TR pin and the internal reference voltage. A capacitor on  
the SS/TR pin to ground implements a slow-start time. The TPS54618RTE-Q1 has an internal pullup current  
source of 2 μA which charges the external slow-start capacitor. Equation 4 calculates the required slow-start  
capacitor value, where tSS is the desired slow-start time in ms, ISS is the internal slow-start charging current of 2  
μA, and VREF is the internal voltage reference of 0.799 V.

During normal operation, the VIN going below UVLO, the pulling of the EN pin voltage below 1.2 V, or the  
occurrence of a thermal shutdown event stops the TPS54618RTE-Q1 from switching. On the VIN going above  
UVLO, the release or pulling high of the EN pin, or exit of a thermal shutdown, SS/TR discharges to below 40  
mV before reinitiating a power-up sequence. The VSENSE voltage follows the SS/TR pin voltage with a 54-mV  
offset up to 85% of the internal voltage reference. When the SS/TR voltage is greater than 85% of the internal  
reference voltage, the offset increases as the effective system reference transitions from the SS/TR voltage to  
the internal voltage reference.

SEQUENCING  
One can implement many of the common power-supply sequencing methods using the SS/TR, EN, and PWRGD  
pins. Implementation of the sequential method can be by using an open-drain or collector output of a power-on-  
reset pin of another device. Figure 28 shows the sequential method. Coupling of the power-good signal to the EN  
pin on the TPS54618RTE-Q1 enables the second power supply once the primary supply reaches regulation.  
One can implement ratiometric start-up by connecting the SS/TR pins together. The regulator outputs ramp up  
and reach regulation at the same time. Double the current source in Equation 4 when calculating the slow-start  
time. Figure 30 illustrates the ratiometric method.

One can implement ratiometric and simultaneous power-supply sequencing by connecting the resistor network of  
R1 and R2 shown in Figure 32 to the output of the power supply to be tracked or to another voltage reference  
source. Using Equation 5 and Equation 6, calculate values of the tracking resistors to initiate the VOUT2 slightly  
before, after, or at the same time as VOUT1. Equation 7 is the voltage difference between VOUT1 and VOUT2.  
The ΔV variable is zero volts for simultaneous sequencing. Including VSSOFFSET and ISS are included as variables  
in the equations minimizes the effect of the inherent SS/TR to VSENSE offset (VSSOFFSET) in the slow-start circuit  
and the offset created by the pullup current source (ISS) and tracking resistors. To design a ratiometric start-up in  
which the VOUT2 voltage is slightly greater than the VOUT1 voltage when VOUT2 reaches regulation, use a  
negative number in Equation 5 through Equation 7 for ΔV. Equation 7 results in a positive number for  
applications in which the VOUT2 is slightly lower than VOUT1 when VOUT2 regulation is achieved. The  
requirement for pulling the SS/TR pin below 40 mV before starting after an EN, UVLO, or thermal-shutdown fault  
necessitates careful selection of the tracking resistors to ensure the device restarts after a fault. Make sure the  
calculated R1 value from Equation 5 is greater than the value calculated in Equation 8 to ensure the device can  
recover from a fault. As the SS/TR voltage becomes more than 85% of the nominal reference voltage, the  
VSSOFFSET becomes larger as the slow-start circuits gradually hand off the regulation reference to the internal  
voltage reference. The SS/TR pin voltage must be greater than 1.1 V for a complete handoff to the internal  
voltage reference as shown in Figure 31.

CONSTANT SWITCHING FREQUENCY and TIMING RESISTOR (RT/CLK Pin)  
The switching frequency of the TPS54618RTE-Q1 is adjustable over a wide range from 300 kHz to 2000 kHz by  
placing a maximum of 700 kand minimum of 85 k, respectively, on the RT/CLK pin. An internal amplifier  
holds this pin at a fixed voltage when using an external resistor to ground to set the switching frequency. RT/CLK  
is typically 0.5 V. To determine the timing resistance for a given switching frequency, use the curve in Figure 6 or  
Equation 9.

To reduce the solution size, one would typically set the switching frequency as high as possible, but consider  
tradeoffs of the efficiency, maximum input voltage, and minimum controllable on-time.  
The minimum controllable on time is typically 75 ns at full-current load and 120 ns at no load, and limits the  
maximum operating input voltage or output voltage.  
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 implements a cycle-by-cycle current limit. During each switching cycle, there is a  
comparison of the high-side switch current to the voltage on the COMP pin. When the instantaneous switch  
current intersects the COMP voltage, the high-side switch turns off. During overcurrent conditions that pull the  
output voltage low, the error amplifier responds by driving the COMP pin high, increasing the switch current. An  
internal clamp on the error amplifier output functions as a switch-current limit.  
FREQUENCY SHIFT  
To operate at high switching frequencies and provide protection during overcurrent conditions, the  
TPS54618RTE-Q1 implements a frequency shift. Without implementation of the frequency shift, during an  
overcurrent condition the low-side MOSFET may not be turn off long enough to reduce the current in the  
inductor, causing a current runaway. With frequency shift, during an overcurrent condition the switching  
frequency is reduced from 100%, then 50%, then 25%, as the voltage decreases from 0.799 to 0 volts on the  
VSENSE pin, to allow the low-side MOSFET to be off long enough to decrease the current in the inductor. During  
start-up, the switching frequency increases as the voltage on VSENSE increases from 0 to 0.799 volts. See  
Figure 7 for details.  
REVERSE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 implements low-side current protection by detecting the voltage across the low-side  
MOSFET. When the converter sinks current through its low-side FET, the control circuit turns off the low-side  
MOSFET if the reverse current is typically more than 4.5 A. By implementing this additional protection scheme,  
the converter is able to protect itself from excessive current during power cycling and start-up into pre-biased  
outputs.  
SYNCHRONIZE USING THE RT/CLK PIN  
A use of the RT/CLK pin is to synchronize the converter to an external system clock. See Figure 34. To  
implement the synchronization feature in a system, connect a square wave to the RT/CLK pin with an on-time of  
at least 75 ns. Pulling the pin above the PLL upper threshold initiates a mode change, and the pin becomes a  
synchronization input. The device disables the internal amplifier, and the pin is a high-impedance clock input to  
the internal PLL. Cessation of clocking edges re-enables the internal amplifier and the mode returns to the  
frequency set by the resistor. The square-wave amplitude at this pin must transition lower than 0.6 V and higher  
than 1.6 V, typically. The synchronization frequency range is 300 kHz to 2000 kHz. The rising edge of the PH  
synchronizes to the falling edge of the RT/CLK pin.

POWER GOOD (PWRGD PIN)  
The PWRGD pin output is an open-drain MOSFET. The VSENSE voltage entering the fault condition by falling  
below 91% or rising above 109% of the nominal internal reference voltage pulls the output low. There is a 2%  
hysteresis on the threshold voltage, so when the VSENSE voltage rises to the good condition above 93% or falls  
below 107% of the internal voltage reference, the PWRGD output MOSFET turns off. TI recommends use of a  
pullup resistor between the values of 1 kand 100 kto a voltage source that is 6 V or less. PWRGD is in a  
valid state once the VIN input voltage is greater than 1.5 V.  
OVERVOLTAGE TRANSIENT PROTECTION  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 incorporates an overvoltage-transient-protection (OVTP) circuit to minimize voltage  
overshoot when recovering from output fault conditions or strong unload transients. The OVTP feature minimizes  
the output overshoot by implementing a circuit to compare the VSENSE pin voltage to the OVTP threshold,  
which is 109% of the internal voltage reference. The VSENSE pin voltage going greater than the OVTP threshold  
disables the high-side MOSFET, preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output overshoot.  
The VSENSE voltage dropping lower than the OVTP threshold allows the high-side MOSFET to turn on during  
the next clock cycle.  
THERMAL SHUTDOWN  
The device implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself if the junction temperature exceeds 168°C.  
The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds the thermal  
trip threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below 150°C, the device reinitiates the power-up sequence  
by discharging the SS pin to below 40 mV. The thermal shutdown hysteresis is 20°C.  
SMALL-SIGNAL MODEL FOR LOOP RESPONSE  
Figure 36 shows for the TPS54618RTE-Q1 control loop an equivalent model which one can modeled in a circuit-  
simulation program to check frequency response and dynamic load response. The error amplifier is a  
transconductance amplifier with a gm of 245 μA/V. One can model the error amplifier using an ideal voltage-  
controlled current source. Resistor R0 and capacitor C0 model the open-loop gain and frequency response of the  
amplifier. The 1-mV ac voltage source between nodes a and b effectively breaks the control loop for the  
frequency-response measurements. Plotting a / c shows the small-signal response of the frequency  
compensation. Plotting a / b shows the small-signal response of the overall loop. One can check the dynamic  
loop response by replacing the RL with a current source with the appropriate load-step amplitude and step rate in  
a time-domain analysis.

SIMPLE SMALL-SIGNAL MODEL FOR PEAK CURRENT MODE CONTROL  
Figure 36 is a simple small-signal model that one can use to understand how to design the frequency  
compensation. A voltage-controlled current source (duty cycle modulator) supplying current to the output  
capacitor and load resistor an approximate the TPS54618RTE-Q1 power stage. The control to output transfer  
function, shown in Equation 11, consists of a dc gain, one dominant pole, and one ESR zero. The quotient of the  
change in switch current and the change in COMP pin voltage (node c in Figure 36) is the power-stage  
transconductance. The gm for the TPS54618RTE-Q1 is 25 A/V. The low-frequency gain of the power-stage  
frequency response is the product of the transconductance and the load resistance, as shown in Equation 12. As  
the load current increases and decreases, the low-frequency gain decreases and increases, respectively. This  
variation with load may seem problematic at first glance, but the dominant pole moves with load current (see  
Equation 13). The combined effect is highlighted by the dashed line in the right half of Figure 37. As the load  
current decreases, the gain increases and the pole frequency lowers, keeping the 0-dB crossover frequency the  
same for the varying load conditions, which makes it easier to design the frequency compensation.

SMALL-SIGNAL MODEL FOR FREQUENCY COMPENSATION  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 uses a transconductance amplifier for the error amplifier and readily supports two of the  
commonly used frequency-compensation circuits. Figure 38 shows the compensation circuits. High-bandwidth  
power-supply designs using low-ESR output capacitors most likely implement Type 2 circuits. Type 2A adds one  
additional high-frequency pole to attenuate high-frequency noise.

The design guidelines for TPS54618RTE-Q1 loop compensation are as follows:  
1. Calculate the modulator pole, ƒpmod, and the ESR zero, ƒz1, using Equation 15 and Equation 16. The output  
capacitor (COUT) may require derating if the output voltage is a high percentage of the capacitor rating. Use  
the capacitor manufacturer information to derate the capacitor value. Use Equation 17 and Equation 18 to  
estimate a starting point for the crossover frequency, ƒc. Equation 17 is the geometric mean of the modulator  
pole and the ESR zero, and Equation 18 is the mean of the modulator pole and the switching frequency. Use  
the lower value of Equation 17 or Equation 18 as the maximum crossover frequency.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
DESIGN GUIDE – STEP-BY-STEP DESIGN PROCEDURE  
This example details the design of a high-frequency switching-regulator design using ceramic output capacitors.  
This design is available as the HPA606 evaluation module (EVM). One must know a few parameters in order to  
start the design process. Determination of these parameters is typically at the system level. For this example, we  
start with the following known parameters:  
Output voltage  
1.8 V  
Transient response 1.5-A to 4.5-A load step  
Maximum Output Current  
Input voltage  
ΔVOUT = 4%  
6 A  
3 V to 6 V, 5-V nominal  
< 30 mV p-p  
1000 kHz  
Output-voltage ripple  
Switching frequency (fsw  
)
SELECTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY  
The first step is to decide on a switching frequency for the regulator. Typically, one wants to choose the highest  
switching frequency possible, because this produces the smallest solution size. The high switching frequency  
allows for lower-valued inductors and smaller output capacitors, compared to a power supply that switches at a  
lower frequency. However, the highest switching frequency causes extra switching losses, which hurt the  
converter’s performance. The converter is capable of running from 300 kHz to 2 MHz. Unless a small solution  
size is an ultimate goal, select a moderate switching frequency of 1 MHz to achieve both a small solution size  
and high-efficiency operation. Using Equation 9, the calculated value of R4 is 180 k. Choose a standard 1%  
182-kvalue for the design.  
-Q1

OUTPUT-INDUCTOR SELECTION  
The inductor selected works for the entire TPS54618RTE-Q1 input voltage range. To calculate the value of the  
output inductor, use Equation 22. KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current  
relative to the maximum output current. The output capacitor filters the inductor ripple current. Therefore,  
choosing high inductor ripple currents impacts the selection of the output capacitor, because the output capacitor  
must have a ripple-current rating equal to or greater than the inductor ripple current. In general, the inductor  
ripple value is at the discretion of the designer; however, KIND is normally from 0.1 to 0.3 for the majority of  
applications.  
For this design example, use KIND = 0.3 and calculate the inductor value to be 0.7 μH. For this design, choose a  
nearest standard value: 0.75 μH. For the output filter inductor, it is important that the rms-current and saturation-  
current ratings not be exceeded. The rms and peak inductor current can be found from Equation 24 and  
Equation 25.  
For this design, the rms inductor current is 6.01 A and the peak inductor current is 6.84 A. The chosen inductor is  
a Toko FDV0630-R75M. It has a saturation-current rating 0f 10 A and an rms-current rating of 8.9 A.

The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus the output current. During power up,  
faults, or transient-load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the peak inductor current level  
calculated previously. In transient conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the switch-current limit of  
the device. For this reason, the most conservative approach is to specify an inductor with a saturation current  
rating equal to or greater than the switch-current limit rather than the peak inductor current.

OUTPUT CAPACITOR  
There are three primary considerations for selecting the value of the output capacitor. The output capacitor  
determines the modulator pole, the output voltage ripple, and how the regulator responds to a large change in  
load current. The basis of the output capacitance selection must be the most-stringent of these three criteria.  
The desired response to a large change in the load current is the first criterion. The output capacitor must supply  
the load with current when the regulator cannot. This situation would occur if there are desired hold-up times for  
the regulator where the output capacitor must hold the output voltage above a certain level for a specified  
amount of time after the input power is removed. The regulator is temporarily not able to supply sufficient output  
current if there is a large, fast increase in the current needs of the load such as transitioning from no load to a full  
load. The regulator usually requires two or more clock cycles for the control loop to see the change in load  
current and output voltage and adjust the duty cycle to react to the change. The output capacitor size must be  
able to supply the extra current to the load until the control loop responds to the load change. The output  
capacitance must be large enough to supply the difference in current for two clock cycles while only allowing a  
tolerable amount of droop in the output voltage. Equation 26 shows the minimum output capacitance necessary  
to accomplish this.  
For this example, the transient load response specification is a 3% change in Vout for a load step from 1.5 A  
(25% load) to 4.5 A (75% load). For this example, ΔIout = 4.5 – 1.5 = 3.0 A and ΔVout = 0.04 × 1.8 = 0.072 V.  
Using these numbers gives a minimum capacitance of 83 μF. This value does not take the ESR of the output  
capacitor into account in the output voltage change. For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is usually small enough to  
ignore in this calculation.  
Equation 27 calculates the minimum output capacitance needed to meet the output-voltage ripple specification,  
where fsw is the switching frequency, Vripple is the maximum allowable output voltage ripple, and Iripple is the  
inductor ripple current. In this case, the maximum output-voltage ripple is 30 mV. Under this requirement,  
Equation 27 yields 7 uF.

change in the output voltage.  
vertical spacer  
Equation 28 calculates the maximum ESR an output capacitor can have to meet the output-voltage ripple  
specification. Equation 28 indicates the ESR should be less than 18 m. In this case, the ESR of the ceramic  
capacitor is much less than 18 m.  
Factoring in additional capacitance de-ratings for aging, temperature, and dc bias increases this minimum value.  
For this example, use five 22-μF, 10-V X5R ceramic capacitors with 3 mof ESR. The estimated capacitance  
after derating by a factor of 0.75 is 82.5 µF.  
Capacitors generally have limits to the amount of ripple current they can handle without failing or producing  
excess heat. One must select an output capacitor that can support the inductor ripple current. Some capacitor  
data sheets specify the rms (root mean square) value of the maximum ripple current. Use Equation 29 to  
calculate the rms ripple current that the output capacitor must support. For this application, Equation 29 yields  
520 mA.

INPUT CAPACITOR  
The TPS54618RTE-Q1 requires a high-quality ceramic, type X5R or X7R, input decoupling capacitor of at least  
10 μF of effective capacitance, and in some applications, a bulk capacitance. The effective capacitance includes  
any dc bias effects. The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be greater than the maximum input voltage.  
The capacitor must also have a ripple-current rating greater than the maximum input-current ripple of the  
TPS54618RTE-Q1. Calculate the input-current ripple using Equation 30.  
The value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of dc bias applied to the  
capacitor. One can minimize the capacitance variations due to temperature by selecting a dielectric material that  
is stable over temperature. Designers usually select X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics for power regulator  
capacitors because they have a high capacitance-to-volume ratio and are fairly stable over temperature. One  
must also select the output capacitor with the dc bias taken into account. The capacitance value of a capacitor  
decreases as the dc bias across a capacitor increases.  
This example design requiresa ceramic capacitor with at least a 10-V voltage rating to support the maximum  
input voltage. The selection for this example is two 10-μF and one 0.1-μF 10-V capacitors in parallel. The input  
capacitance value determines the input ripple voltage of the regulator. Calculate the input-voltage ripple using  
Equation 31. Using the design example values, Ioutmax = 6 A, Cin = 20 μF, and Fsw = 1 MHz, yields an input  
voltage ripple of 149 mV and an rms input ripple current of 2.94 A.

SLOW-START CAPACITOR  
The slow-start capacitor determines the minimum amount of time it takes for the output voltage to reach its  
nominal programmed value during power up. This is useful if a load requires a controlled voltage-slew rate. This  
is also useful if the output capacitance is very large and would require large amounts of current to charge the  
capacitor quickly to the output-voltage level. The large currents necessary to charge the capacitor may make the  
TPS54618RTE-Q1 reach the current limit, or excessive current draw from the input power supply may cause the  
input voltage rail to sag. Limiting the output-voltage slew rate solves both of these problems.

One can calculate the slow-start capacitor value using Equation 32. For the example circuit, the slow-start time is  
not too critical because the output-capacitor value is 110 μF, which does not require much current to charge to  
1.8 V. The example circuit has the slow-start time set to an arbitrary value of 4 ms, which requires a 10-nF  
capacitor. In TPS54618RTE-Q1, Iss is 2.2 μA and Vref is 0.799 V.

BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR SELECTION  
Connect a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor between the BOOT to PH pin for proper operation. TI recommends using a  
ceramic capacitor with X5R or better-grade dielectric. The capacitor should have a 10-V or higher voltage rating.  
OUTPUT-VOLTAGE AND FEEDBACK RESISTOR SELECTION  
For the example design, the R6 selection was 100 k. Calculating with Equation 33, R7 is 80 k. The nearest

Due to the internal design of the TPS54618RTE-Q1, there is a minimum output voltage limit for any given input  
voltage. The output voltage can never be lower than the internal voltage reference of 0.799 V. Above 0.799 V,  
the minimum controllable on-time may limit the output voltage. In this case, Equation 34 gives the minimum  
output voltage.

COMPENSATION  
There are several industry techniques used to compensate dc-dc regulators. The method presented here is easy  
to calculate and yields high phase margins. For most conditions, the regulator has a phase margin between 60  
and 90 degrees. The method presented here ignores the effects of the slope compensation that is internal to the  
TPS54618RTE-Q1. Ignoring the slope compensation usually results in the actual crossover frequency being  
lower than the crossover frequency used in the calculations. Use SwitcherPro software for a more accurate  
design.

To get started, calculate the modulator pole, fpmod, and the ESR zero, fz1 using Equation 36 and Equation 37.  
For Cout, the derated capacitance value is 82.5 µF. Use Equation 38 and Equation 39 to estimate a starting  
point for the crossover frequency, fc. For the example design, fpmod is 6.43 kHz and fzmod is 643 kHz.  
Equation 38 is the geometric mean of the modulator pole and the ESR zero, and Equation 39 is the mean of  
modulator pole and the switching frequency. Equation 38 yields 64.3 kHz and Equation 39 gives 56.7 kHz. The  
lower value of Equation 38 or Equation 39 is the maximum recommended crossover frequency. For this example,  
specify a lower fc value of 40 kHz. Next, calculate the compensation components. Use a resistor in series with a  
capacitor to create a compensating zero. A capacitor in parallel with these two components forms the  
compensating pole (if needed).

So  
Ptot = Pcon + Pd + Psw + Pgd + Pq  
For given TA,  
TJ = TA + Rth × Ptot  
For given TJMAX = 150°C  
TAmax = TJ max – Rth × Ptot  
where:  
Ptot is the total device power dissipation (W).  
TA is the ambient temperature (°C).  
TJ is the junction temperature (°C).  
Rth is the thermal resistance of the package (°C/W).  
TJMAX is maximum junction temperature (°C).  
TAMAX is maximum ambient temperature (°C).  
There are additional power losses in the regulator circuit due to the inductor ac and dc losses and trace  
resistance that impact the overall efficiency of the regulator.  
LAYOUT  
Layout is a critical portion of good power-supply design. There are several signal paths that conduct fast-  
changing currents or voltages that can interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise  
or degrade the power-supply performance. Take care to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor  
connections and the VIN pins. See Figure 50 for a PCB layout example. Tie the GND pins and AGND pin directly  
to the power pad under the IC. Connect the power pad to any internal PCB ground planes using multiple vias  
directly under the IC. One can use additional vias to connect the top-side ground area to the internal planes near  
the input and output capacitors. For operation at full-rated load, the top-side ground area along with any  
additional internal ground planes must provide adequate heat-dissipating area.  
Locate the input bypass capacitor as close to the IC as possible. Route the PH pin to the output inductor.  
Because the PH connection is the switching node, the location of the output inductor should be very close to the  
PH pin, and minimize the area of the PCB conductor to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. Locate the boot  
capacitor close to the device. The sensitive analog ground connections for the feedback-voltage divider,  
compensation components, slow-start capacitor, and connect the frequency-setting resistor to a separate analog  
ground trace as shown. The RT/CLK pin is particularly sensitive to noise, so locate the RT resistor as close as  
possible to the IC and route with minimal lengths of trace. Place the additional external components  
approximately as shown. It may be possible to obtain acceptable performance with alternate PCB layouts.  
However this layout, meant as a guideline, produces demonstrably good results.
