5 Description (Continued)  
The synchronous buck regulator operates with current mode control and is internally compensated to simplify  
design. A resistor on the RT pin sets the switching frequency between 300 kHz and 2.2 MHz. Operating below  
400 kHz results in better system efficiency. Operation above 2.1 MHz avoids the AM radio bands and allows for  
use of a smaller inductor.  
The TPS25846-Q1 integrates electrical signatures necessary for legacy devices which use USB data lines to  
determine charging configuration.  
A precision current sense amplifier is included for user programmable cable droop compensation and current  
limit tuning. Cable compensation aids portable devices in charging at optimum current and voltage under heavy  
loads by changing the buck regulator output voltage linearly with load current to counteract the voltage drop  
due to wire resistance in automotive cabling. The VBUS voltage measured at a connected portable device  
remains approximately constant, regardless of load current, allowing the portable device's battery charger to  
work optimally.  
The USB specifications require current limiting of USB charging ports, but give system designers reasonable  
flexibility to choose overcurrent protection levels based on system requirements. The TPS25846-Q1 uses  
a novel two-threshold current limit circuit allowing system designers to either program average current limit  
protection of the buck regulator, or optionally, current limit using an external NMOS between the CSN/OUT and  
BUS pins. The NFET implementation enables the TPS25846-Q1 buck regulator to supply a 5-V output for other  
loads during an overcurrent condition on the USB port.  
Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup short-circuit protection, undervoltage lockout,  
VBUS overvoltage and overcurrent, data line (Dx) short to VBUS, and die overtemperature protection.  
The TPS25846-Q1 includes high bandwidth analog switches for DP and DM pass-through, and support data line  
(Dx) short-to-VBAT protection.

10 Detailed Description  
10.1 Overview  
The TPS25846-Q1 devices are full-featured solutions for implementing a compact USB charging port with  
support for Type-A BC1.2 standards. Both devices contain an efficient 36-V buck regulator power source  
capable of providing up to 3.5 A of output current at 5.10 V (nominal). System designers can optimize efficiency  
or solution size through careful selection of switching frequency over the range of 300 to 2200 kHz with sufficient  
margin to operate above or below the AM radio frequency band. In all versions the buck regulator operates  
in forced PWM mode ensuring fixed switching frequency regardless of load current. Spread-spectrum feature  
aid reducing harmonic peaks of the switching frequency potentially simplifying EMI filter design and easing  
compliance.  
Current sensing through a precision high-side current sense amplifier enables an accurate, user programmable  
overcurrent limit setting; and programmable linear cable compensation to overcome IR losses when powering  
remote USB ports.  
The CTRL1 and CTRL2 pins set the operating mode for the TPS25846-Q1 device. The device can support CDP,  
SDP or Client configurations.  
The TPS25846-Q1 integrates high band-width (800 MHz) USB switches, includes short-to-VBAT and short-to-  
VBUS protection as well as IEC61000-4-2 electrostatic discharge clamps to protect the host from potentially  
damaging overvoltage conditions.

10.2 Functional Block Diagram  
10.3 Feature Description  
10.3.1 Buck Regulator  
The following operating description of the TPS25846-Q1 will refer to the Functional Block Diagram and the  
waveforms in Figure 10-1. TPS25846-Q1 is a step-down synchronous buck regulator with integrated high-side  
(HS) and low-side (LS) switches (synchronous rectifier). The TPS25846-Q1 supplies a regulated output voltage  
by turning on the HS and LS NMOS switches with controlled duty cycle. During high-side switch ON time,  
the SW pin voltage swings up to approximately VIN, and the inductor current iL increase with linear slope  
(VIN – VOUT) / L. When the HS switch is turned off by the control logic, the LS switch is turned on after an  
anti-shoot-through dead time. Inductor current discharges through the LS switch with a slope of –VOUT / L. The  
control parameter of a buck converter is defined as Duty Cycle D = tON / TSW, where tON is the high-side switch  
ON time and TSW is the switching period. The regulator control loop maintains a constant output voltage by  
adjusting the duty cycle D. In an ideal buck converter, where losses are ignored, D is proportional to the output  
voltage and inversely proportional to the input voltage: D = VOUT / VIN.

Figure 10-1. SW Node and Inductor Current Waveforms in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)  
The TPS25846-Q1 employs fixed frequency peak current mode control. A voltage feedback loop is used to  
get accurate DC voltage regulation by adjusting the peak current command based on voltage offset. The peak  
inductor current is sensed from the high-side switch and compared to the peak current threshold to control the  
ON time of the high-side switch. The voltage feedback loop is internally compensated, which allows for fewer  
external components, makes it easy to design, and provides stable operation with almost any combination of  
output capacitors. TPS25846-Q1 operates in FPWM mode for low output voltage ripple, tight output voltage  
regulation, and constant switching frequency.  
10.3.2 Enable/UVLO  
The voltage on the EN/UVLO pin controls the ON or OFF operation of TPS25846-Q1. An EN/UVLO pin voltage  
higher than VEN/UVLO-VOUT-H is required to start the internal regulator (Assume 5.1-k pull down resister on INT  
pin). The EN/UVLO pin is an input and can not be left open or floating. The simplest way to enable the operation  
of the TPS25846-Q1 is to connect the EN to VIN. This connection allows self-start-up of the TPS25846-Q1 when  
VIN is within the operation range.

Figure 10-2. Precision Enable Behavior  
Many applications will benefit from the employment of an enable divider RENT and RENB (Figure 10-3) to  
establish a precision system UVLO level for the TPS25846-Q1. System UVLO can be used for sequencing,  
ensuring reliable operation, or supply protection, such as a battery discharge level. To ensure the USB port  
VBUS is within the 5-V operating range as required for USB compliance for the latest USB specifications  
and requirements, refer to USB.org), TI suggests that the RENT and RENB resistors be chosen such that the  
TPS25846-Q1 enables when VIN is approximately 6 V. Considering the drop out voltage of the buck regulator  
and IR loses in the system, 6 V provides adequate margin to maintain VBUS within USB specifications. If system  
requirements such as a warm crank (start) automotive scenario require operation with VIN < 6 V, the values  
of RENT and RENB can be calculated assuming a lower VIN. An external logic signal can also be used to drive  
EN/UVLO input when a microcontroller is present and it is desirable to enable or disable the USB port remotely  
for other reasons.

TPS25846-Q1 switching action can be synchronized to an external clock from 300 kHz to 2.3 MHz. The RT/  
SYNC pin can be used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external clock. The internal oscillator can be  
synchronized by AC coupling a positive edge into the RT/SYNC pin. The AC coupled peak-to-peak voltage at the  
RT/SYNC pin must exceed the SYNC amplitude threshold of 2.0 V (typical) to trip the internal synchronization  
pulse detector, and the minimum SYNC clock ON and OFF time must be longer than 100 ns (typical). When  
using a low impedance signal source, the frequency setting resistor RT is connected in parallel with an AC  
coupling capacitor CCOUP to a termination resistor RTERM (for example: 50 Ω). The two resistors in series provide  
the default frequency setting resistance when the signal source is turned off. A 10-pF ceramic capacitor can be  
used for CCOUP. Figure 10-6 show the device synchronized to an external clock.

In order to avoid AM radio frequency brand and maintain proper regulation when minimum ON-time or minimum  
OFF-time is reached, the TPS25846-Q1 implement frequency foldback scheme depends on VIN voltage, refer to  
Figure 8-10.  
When 8 V < VIN ≤ 19 V, the switching frequency of TPS25846-Q1 is determined by RT resistor or external  
sync clock.  
When VIN ≤ 8 V, the switching frequency of TPS25846-Q1 is set to default 420 kHz, regardless of RT resistor  
setting or external sync clock.  
When VIN > 19 V, the switching frequency of TPS25846-Q1 is set to default 420 kHz, regardless of RT  
resistor setting or external sync clock.

In order to reduce EMI, the TPS25846-Q1 introduce frequency spread spectrum. The spread spectrum is  
used to eliminate peak emissions at specific frequencies by spreading emissions across a wider range of

frequencies than a part with fixed frequency operation. In most systems, low frequency conducted emissions  
from the first few harmonics of the switching frequency can be easily filtered. A more difficult design criterion  
is reduction of emissions at higher harmonics which fall in the FM band. These harmonics often couple to the  
environment through electric fields around the switch node. The TPS25846-Q1 devices use ±6% spread of  
switching frequencies with 1/256 swing frequency.  
The spread spectrum function is only available when using the TPS25846-Q1 internal oscillator. If the RT/SYNC  
pin is synchronized to an external clock, the spread spectrum function will be turn off.  
10.3.5 VCC, VCC_UVLO  
The TPS25846-Q1 integrates an internal LDO to generate VCC for control circuitry and MOSFET drivers. The  
nominal voltage for VCC is 5 V. The VCC pin is the output of an LDO and must be properly bypassed. A high  
quality ceramic capacitor with a value of 2.2 µF to 4.7 µF, 10 V or higher rated voltage should be placed as close  
as possible to VCC and grounded to the PGND ground pin. The VCC output pin should not be loaded with more  
than 5 mA, or shorted to ground during operation. Shorting VCC to ground during operation may cause damage  
to the TPS25846-Q1.  
10.3.6 Minimum ON-time, Minimum OFF-time  
Minimum ON-time, TON_MIN, is the smallest duration of time that the HS switch can be on. TON_MIN is typically  
105 ns in the TPS25846-Q1. Minimum OFF-time, TOFF_MIN, is the smallest duration that the HS switch can be  
off. TOFF_MIN is typically 80 ns in the TPS25846-Q1. In CCM (FPWM) operation, TON_MIN and TOFF_MIN limit the  
voltage conversion range given a selected switching frequency.  
The minimum duty cycle allowed is:  
(4)  
And the maximum duty cycle allowed is:  
(5)  
Given fixed TON_MIN and TOFF_MIN, the higher the switching frequency the narrower the range of the allowed duty  
cycle.  
10.3.7 Internal Compensation  
The TPS25846-Q1 is internally compensated as shown in Figure 10-13. The internal compensation is designed  
such that the loop response is stable over the specified operating frequency and output voltage range. The  
TPS25846-Q1 is optimized for transient response over the range 300 kHz ≤ fsw ≤ 2300 kHz.  
10.3.8 Bootstrap Voltage (BOOT)  
The TPS25846-Q1 provides an integrated bootstrap voltage regulator. A small capacitor between the BOOT and  
SW pins provides the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. The BOOT capacitor is refreshed when the  
high-side MOSFET is off and the low-side switch conducts. The recommended value of the BOOT capacitor  
is 0.47 μF. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric with a voltage rating of 10 V or higher is  
recommended for stable performance overtemperature and voltage.  
10.3.9 RSNS, RSET, RILIMIT and RIMON  
The programmable current limit threshold and full-scale cable compensation voltage are determined by the  
values of the RSNS, RSET, RILIMIT and RIMON resistors. Refer to Figure 10-13.  
RSNS is the current sense resistor. The recommended voltage across RSNS under current limit should be  
approximately 50 mV as a compromise between accuracy and power dissipation. For example, if current  
limiting is desired for IOUT(MAX) ≥ 3.3 A, then RSNS = 0.05 V / 3.3 A = 0.01515 Ω. Choose a standard value of  
15 mΩ.

RSET determines the input current to the transconductance amplifier and current mirror. The amplifier  
balances the voltage to be equal to that across RSNS. Choose a RSET value to produce an ISET current  
between 75 - 180 µA at the desired IOUT(MAX). Considering 50 mV across RSET, a value of 300 Ω will provide  
approximately 166 µA of ISET current to the amplifier and mirror circuit. Care should be taken to limit the ISET  
current below 200 µA to avoid saturating the internal amplifier circuit.  
RILIMIT inconjuction with the 0.5 × ISET current produces a voltage on the ILIMIT pin which is proportional  
to the load current flowing in RSNS. For details on setting the current limit, see Current Limit Setting using  
RILIMIT  
.
RIMON inconjuction with the 0.5 × ISET current produces a voltage on the IMON pin which is proportional to the

10.3.10 Overcurrent and Short Circuit Protection  
For maximum versatility, TPS25846-Q1 includes both a precision, programmable current limit as well cycle-by-  
cycle current limit to protect the USB port from extreme overload conditions. In most applications the RILIMIT  
resistor in conjunction with the selection of RSNS and RSET will determine the overload threshold. The cycle-by-  
cycle current limit will serve as a backup means of protection in the event RILMIT is shorted to ground disabling  
the programmable current limit function.  
10.3.10.1 Current Limit Setting using RILIMIT  
Refer to Figure 10-13. The TPS25846-Q1 can establish current limit by two methods.  
Using external a single or back-to-back N-Channel MOFETs between CSN/OUT and BUS: A voltage of 0.49  
V on the ILIMIT pin initiates current limiting using the external MOSFET by decreasing the LS_GD voltage  
causing the FET to operate in the saturation region. To protect the MOSFETs from damage a hiccup timer  
limits the duty cycle to prevent thermal runaway. Refer to the Specifications for MOSFET hiccup timing.  
Buck average current limit: No MOSFET, CSN/OUT connected to BUS. In this configuration a voltage of 1 V  
across RILIMIT on the ILIMIT pin initiates average current limiting of the buck regulator.  
The two level current limit is described below:

– Isolating a fault on the USB port from other loads connected to the CSP output of the TPS25846-Q1. In  
some applications, it may be useful to power additional circuitry (for example: USB HUB) from the output  
of the TPS25846-Q1 and maintain operation of these circuits in the event of a short circuit downstream  
of the BUS pin. To prevent triggering the MOSFET current limit below the programmed ILIMIT threshold,  
external circuits should be supplied after the inductor and before the current sense resistor, RSNS  
.
– After RSNS and RSET are determined and the full load ISET current is known, the resistor value RILIMIT can  
be determined by:

– In most cases, the recommended voltage across RSNS under current limit should be approximately 50 mV  
as a compromise between accuracy and power dissipation. While in some application, RILIMIT is the only  
resistor that can be changed to achieve different current limit. Typical RILIMIT resistors value are listed in  
Table 10-2 given the condition RSNS = 15 mΩ and RSET = 300 Ω.

To start the procedure, the ILOAD(MAX), RSNS and RSET, must be known.  
1. Determine ILIMIT, usually chose ILIMIT= ILOAD(MAX) / (1 – 10%).  
2. Determine RSNS to achieve 50 mV at current limit. For 3-A load current, choose ILIMIT = 3.3A. RSNS = (0.05  
V / 3.3 A) = 15 mΩ.  
3. Choose RSET = 300 Ω.  
4. According to Equation 7, RLIMIT = 300 / (0.5 × ( 3.3 × 0.015 + 0.0007)) = 11.95 kΩ.  
5. Choose standard 11.8 kΩ.  
10.3.10.3 External MOSFET Gate Drivers  
The TPS25846-Q1 has integrated NFET gate drivers, and can support current limit with external NFET. Refer to  
Figure 10-14.  
The LS_GD pin of TPS25846-Q1 can source 3-uA (typical) current to enhance the external MOSFET. A 6.2-V  
clamp between LS_GD and CSN/OUT pin limits the gate-to-source voltage. During DCDC start up, the LS_GD  
gate drivers begin to source current after VCSN/OUT reach 3 V. If the VCSN/OUT > 7.5 V or VBUS > 7 V under  
overvoltage condition, the LS_GD will turn off immediately with 35-uA (typical) sink current.  
If load current above NFET current limit threshold, LS_GD will also turn off the NFET after 2 ms (typical) and  
enter hiccup mode to protect NFET from thermal issue. Refer to Figure 11-24 for application waveform.  
In real application, if VBUS short to VBAT function is needed, 20 V back-to-back NFET is suggested in circuit  
design.  
10.3.10.4 Cycle-by-Cycle Buck Current Limit  
The buck regulator cycle-by-cycle current limit on both the peak and valley of the inductor current. Hiccup mode  
will be activated if a fault condition persists to prevent over-heating.  
High-side MOSFET overcurrent protection is implemented by the nature of the Peak Current Mode control. The  
HS switch current is sensed when the HS is turned on after a set blanking time. The HS switch current is  
compared to the output of the Error Amplifier (EA) minus slope compensation every switching cycle. Refer to  
the Functional Block Diagram for more details. The peak current of HS switch is limited by a clamped maximum  
peak current threshold IHS_LIMIT which is constant. So the peak current limit of the high-side switch is not affected  
by the slope compensation and remains constant over the full duty cycle range.  
The current going through LS MOSFET is also sensed and monitored. When the LS switch turns on, the inductor  
current begins to ramp down. The LS switch will not be turned OFF at the end of a switching cycle if its current is  
above the LS current limit ILS_LIMIT. The LS switch will be kept ON so that inductor current keeps ramping down,  
until the inductor current ramps below the LS current limit ILS_LIMIT. Then the LS switch will be turned OFF and  
the HS switch will be turned on after a dead time. This is somewhat different than the more typical peak current  
limit, and results in Equation 8 for the maximum load current.

If VCSN/OUT < 2-V typical due to a short circuit for 128 consecutive cycles, hiccup current protection mode will be  
activated. In hiccup mode, the regulator will be shut down and kept off for 118 ms typically, then TPS25846-Q1  
go through a normal re-start with soft start again. If the short-circuit condition remains, hiccup will repeat until  
the fault condition is removed. Hiccup mode reduces power dissipation under severe overcurrent conditions,  
prevents over-heating and potential damage to the device and serves as a backup to the programmable current  
limit see Current Limit Setting using RILIMIT. Once the output short is removed, the hiccup delay is passed, the  
output voltage recovers normally as shown in Figure 11-21.  
10.3.11 Overvoltage, IEC and Short-to-Battery Protection  
The TPS25846-Q1 integrates OVP and short to battery protection on VBUS, DM_IN and DP_IN pins. These pins  
can withstand voltage up to 18 V, and can protect upstream processor or Hub data line when overvoltage or  
short to battery condition occurs. Refer to Figure 9-3 for the short-to-battery test setup.  
The TPS25846-Q1 also integrates IEC ESD cell on DP_IN and DM_IN pins.  
10.3.11.1 VBUS and VCSN/OUT Overvoltage Protection  
The TPS25846-Q1 integrates overvoltage protection on both BUS and CSN/OUT pin, to meet different  
application requirement.  
BUS pin can withstand up to 18 V, and the OVP threshold is 7-V typical. Once overvoltage is detected on  
BUS pin, the LS_GD will turn off immediately, also FAULT asserts after 8-ms deglitch time. Once the excessive  
voltage is removed, the LS_GD will turn on again and FAULT deasserts.  
CSN/OUT pin can withstand up to 20 V, and the OVP threshold is 7.5-V typical. Once overvoltage is detected on  
CSN/OUT pin, the buck converter will stop regulation, also LS_GD will turn off immediately. Once the excessive  
voltage is removed, the buck converter will resume and the LS_GD will turn on again.  
Figure 10-16. Current Limit with External MOSFET  
Figure 10-17. Buck Average Current Limit  
As shown in Figure 10-16, TPS25846-Q1 is configured in external FET current limit mode. When short to  
battery occurs on BUS_Connector, the external MOSFET will be turn off immediately after BUS pin detect over  
voltage. The FAULT signal will assert after 8-ms deglitch time, see Figure11-28. With Back-to-back FET, the  
TPS25846-Q1 can withstand short to battery event even when Vin is off. A 10-Ω 0805 resistor is recommended  
between BUS pin and BUS_Connector.  
As shown in Figure 10-17, TPS25846-Q1 is configured in buck average current limit mode. When short to  
battery occurs on BUS_Connector, the buck regulator will stop switching after CSN/OUT pin detect overvoltage.  
The FAULT signal will also assert after 8-ms deglitch time. A 100-Ω 0805 resistor is recommended between BUS

10.3.11.2 DP_IN and DM_IN Protection  
DP_IN and DM_IN protection consists of IEC ESD and overvoltage protection.  
The DP_IN and DM_IN pins integrate an IEC ESD cell to provide ESD protection up to ±15-kV air discharge  
and ±8-kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 (See the ESD Ratings section for test conditions). The IEC  
ESD performance of the TPS25846-Q1 device depends on the capacitance connected from BUS pin to GND. A  
0.22-µF capacitor placed close to the BUS pin is recommended.  
The ESD stress seen at DP_IN and DM_IN is impacted by many external factors like the parasitic resistance and  
inductance between ESD test points and the DP_IN and DM_IN pins. For air discharge, the temperature and  
humidity of the environment can cause some difference, so the IEC performance should always be verified in the  
end-application circuit.  
Overvoltage protection (OVP) is provided for short-to-VBUS or short-to-battery conditions in the vehicle harness,  
preventing damage to the upstream USB transceiver or hub. When the voltage on DP_IN or DM_IN exceeds 3.9  
V (typical), the TPS25846-Q1 device immediately turn off DP/DM switch, and responds to block the high-voltage  
reverse connection to DP_OUT and DM_OUT. FAULT signal will assert after 8-ms deglitch time. See Figure  
11-30.  
For DP_IN and DM_IN, when OVP is triggered, the device turns on an internal discharge path with 416-kΩ  
resistance to ground. On removal of the overvoltage condition, the pin automatically turns off this discharge path  
and returns to normal operation by turning on the previously affected analog switch.  
10.3.12 Cable Compensation  
When a load draws current through a long or thin wire, there is an IR drop that reduces the voltage delivered  
to the load. Cable droop compensation linearly increases the voltage at the CSN/OUT pin of TPS25846-Q1 as  
load current increases with the objective of maintaining VBUS_CON (the bus voltage at the USB connector) at 5 V,  
regardless of load conditions. Most portable devices charge at maximum current when 5 V is present at the USB  
connector. Figure 10-18 provides an example of resistor drops encountered when designing an automotive USB  
system with a remote USB connector location.

ΔVOUT is the desired cable droop compensation voltage at full load.

section. In type-C application, typical RIMON resistors value are listed in Table 10-3 given the condition full load  
current = 3 A, RSNS = 15 mΩ and RSET = 300 Ω.

1. Determine RSNS to achieve 50 mV at full current. For 3.3 A (3-A load current plus at approximately 10% for

2. RDSON_NFET = 50 mΩ

10.3.15 USB Specification Overview  
Universal Serial Bus specifications provide critical physical and electrical requirements to electronics  
manufacturers of USB capable equipment. Adherence to these specifications during product development  
coupled with standardized compliance testing assures very high degrees of interoperability amongst USB  
products in the market. Since its inception in the mid 1990s, USB has undergone a number of revisions  
to enhance utility and extend functionality. For the most up to date standards, please consult the USB  
Implementers Forum (USB-IF).  
All USB ports are capable of providing a 5-V output making them a convenient power source for operating  
and charging portable devices. USB specification documents outline specific power requirements to ensure  
interoperability. In general, a USB 2.0 port host port is required to provide up to 500 mA; a USB 3.0 or USB 3.1  
port is required to provide up to 900 mA; ports adhering to the USB Battery Charging 1.2 Specification provide  
up to 1500 mA; and newer Type-C ports can provide up to 3000 mA. Though USB standards governing power  
requirements exist, some manufacturers of popular portable devices created their own proprietary mechanisms  
to extend allowed available current beyond the 1500-mA maximum per BC 1.2. While not officially part of  
the standards maintained by the USB-IF, these proprietary mechanisms are recognized and implemented by  
manufacturers of USB charging ports.  
The TPS25846-Q1 device supports the most-common USB-charging schemes BC1.2 in popular hand-held  
media and cellular devices.  
The BC1.2 specification includes three different port types:  
Standard downstream port (SDP, supported)  
Charging downstream port (CDP, supported)  
Dedicated charging port (DCP, NOT supported)

10.3.17 Device Power Pins (IN, CSN/OUT, and PGND)  
The IN pins are the input power path to the TPS25846-Q1 devices. The internal LDO and buck regulator high  
side switch are supplied from the IN pins. The CSN/OUT pin connects to the negative terminal of the current  
sense amplifier and the internal voltage feedback network. This pin must be connected to the output LC filter  
for proper operation. PGND is the power ground return. For optimum performance, ensure the IN pin is properly  
bypassed to PGND with adequate bulk and high-frequency bypass capacitance located as close to these pins as  
possible.  
10.3.18 Thermal Shutdown  
The device has an internal overtemperature shutdown threshold, TSD to protect the device from damage and  
overall safety of the system. When device temperature exceeds TSD, the LD_GD pin is pulled low, and the buck  
regulator stops switching. The device attempts to power-up when die temperature decreases by approximately  
20°C.

10.4 Device Functional Modes  
10.4.1 Shutdown Mode  
The EN pin provides electrical ON and OFF control for the TPS25846-Q1. When VEN is below 1.2 V (typical), the  
device is in shutdown mode. The TPS25846-Q1 also employs VIN and VCC undervoltage lock out protection. If  
VIN or VCC voltage is below their respective UVLO level, the regulator will be turned off.  
10.4.2 Active Mode  
The TPS25846-Q1 is in Active Mode when VEN is above the precision enable threshold, VIN and VCC are above  
their respective UVLO levels. The simplest way to enable the TPS25846-Q1 is to connect the EN pin to VIN pin.  
This allows self startup when the input voltage is in the operating range: 3.8 V to 36 V and a UFP detection is  
made. Refer to VCC, VCC_UVLO and Enable/UVLO for details on setting these operating levels.  
In Active Mode, the TPS25846-Q1 buck regulator operates with forced pulse width modulation (FPWM), also  
referred to as forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM). This ensures the buck regulator switching frequency  
remains constant under all load conditions. FPWM operation provides low output voltage ripple, tight output  
voltage regulation, and constant switching frequency. Built-in spread-spectrum modulation aids in distributing  
spectral energy across a narrow band around the switching frequency programmed by the RT/SYNC pin. Under  
light load conditions the inductor current is allowed to go negative. A negative current limit of IL_NEG is imposed  
to prevent damage to the regulator's low side FET. During operation the TPS25846-Q1 will synchronize to any  
valid clock signal on the RT/SYNC input.  
10.4.3 Device Truth Table (TT)  
The device truth table (Table 10-7) lists all valid combinations for the two control pins (CTRL1 and CTRL2). The

10.4.4 USB Port Operating Modes  
10.4.4.1 Standard Downstream Port (SDP) Mode — USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and USB 3.1  
An SDP is a traditional USB port that follows USB 2.0, USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 protocol. A USB 2.0 SDP supplies  
a minimum of 500 mA per port and supports USB 2.0 communications. A USB 3.x SDP supplies a minimum of  
900 mA per port and supports USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 communications. For both types, the host controller must be  
active to allow charging.  
10.4.4.2 Charging Downstream Port (CDP) Mode  
A CDP is a USB port that follows USB BC1.2 and supplies a minimum of 1.5 A per port. A CDP provides  
power and meets the USB 2.0 requirements for device enumeration. USB-2.0 communication is supported, and  
the host controller must be active to allow charging. The difference between CDP and SDP is the host-charge  
handshaking logic that identifies this port as a CDP. A CDP is identifiable by a compliant BC1.2 client device and  
allows for additional current draw by the client device.  
The CDP handshaking process occurs in two steps. During step one, the portable equipment outputs a nominal  
0.6-V output on the D+ line and reads the voltage input on the D– line. The portable device detects the  
connection to an SDP if the voltage is less than the nominal data-detect voltage of 0.3 V. The portable device

The second step is necessary for portable equipment to determine whether the equipment is connected to a  
CDP or a DCP. The portable device outputs a nominal 0.6-V output on the D– line and reads the voltage input  
on the D+ line. The portable device concludes the equipment is connected to a CDP if the data line being read  
remains less than the nominal data detects voltage of 0.3 V. The portable device concludes it is connected to a  
DCP if the data line being read is greater than the nominal data detect voltage of 0.3 V.  
10.4.4.3 Client Mode and Firmware Update  
The TPS25846-Q1 device integrates client mode as shown in Figure 10-20. During Client Mode, only the data  
analog switch is ON, the Buck regulator will be disabled, so the external MOSFET can be saved. LS_GD is LOW  
in this mode, so if there has the external MOSFET, this MOSFET power switch will be OFF. Client mode can be  
used by automotive USB system manufacturers and OEMs for factory-only software programming via the USB  
port.  
When set the CTRL1/2 pin to "0 0" or "0 1", the TPS25846-Q1 will enter the Client Mode after about 150-ms  
(tDEGLA) deglitch time.  
Note: when update the firmware update or program software via the USB port, it must configure the device in  
Client Mode. Using CDP or SDP mode to program software is strictly prohibited, since that will cause some  
system level application issues.  
Figure 10-20. Client-Mode Equivalent Circuit  
10.4.5 High-Bandwidth Data-Line Switches  
The TPS25846-Q1 device passes the D+ and D– data lines through the device to enable monitoring and  
handshaking while supporting the charging operation. A wide-bandwidth signal switch allows data to pass  
through the device without corrupting signal integrity. The data-line switches are turned on in any of the CDP,  
SDP, or client operating modes. The EN input must be at logic high for the data line switches to be enabled.  
Note  
While in CDP mode, the data switches are ON, even during CDP handshaking.  
The data line switches are OFF if EN/UVLO is low.  
The data line switches are ON during Average current limit or External FET current limit conditions.  
The data switches are only for a USB-2.0 differential pair. In the case of a USB-3.0 host, the super-  
speed differential pairs must be routed directly to the USB connector without passing through the  
TPS2584x device.

11 Application and Implementation  
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, as well as validating and testing their design  
implementation to confirm system functionality.  
11.1 Application Information  
The TPS25846-Q1 is a step down DC-to-DC regulator and USB charge port controller. The device is typically  
used in automotive systems to convert a DC voltage from the vehicle battery to 5-V DC with a maximum output  
current of 3 A. The following design procedure can be used to select components for the TPS25846-Q1.  
11.2 Typical Application  
The TPS25846-Q1 only requires a few external components to convert from a wide voltage range supply to a  
5-V output for powering USB devices. Figure 11-1 shows a basic schematic.  
Figure 11-1. Application Circuit  
The integrated buck regulator of TPS25846-Q1 is internally compensated and optimized for a reasonable  
selection of external inductance and capacitance. The external components have to fulfill the needs of the  
application, but also the stability criteria of the device's control loop. Table 11-2 can be used to simplify the output  
filter component selection.  
11.2.1 Design Requirements  
To begin the design process, a few parameters must be known:  
Cable compensation: Total resistance including cable resistance, contact resistance of connectors,  
TPS25846-Q1 current sense resistor and external NFET rDS(on) (if used). Refer to Figure 10-18 for examples  
of resistance in an automotive application.

2. All the COUT values are after derating.  
11.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
11.2.2.1 Output Voltage  
The output voltage of TPS25846-Q1 is internally fixed at 5.10 V. Cable compensation can be used to increase  
the voltage on the CSN/OUT pin linearly with increasing load current. Refer to Cable Compensation for more  
details on output voltage variation versus load current. If cable compensation is not desired, use a 0-Ω RIMON  
resistor.  
11.2.2.2 Switching Frequency  
The recommended switching frequency of the TPS25846-Q1 is in the range of 300-400 kHz for best efficiency.  
Choose RRT = 49.9 kΩ for 400-kHz operation. To choose a different switching frequency, refer to Table 10-1.  
11.2.2.3 Inductor Selection  
The most critical parameters for the inductor are the inductance, saturation current and the rated current. The  
inductance is based on the desired peak-to-peak ripple current ΔiL. Since the ripple current increases with  
the input voltage, the maximum input voltage is always used to calculate the minimum inductance LMIN. Use  
Equation 10 to calculate the minimum value of the output inductor. KIND is a coefficient that represents the  
amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current of the device. A reasonable value of  
KIND should be 20% to 40%. During an instantaneous short or over current operation event, the RMS and peak  
inductor current can be high. The inductor current rating should be higher than the current limit of the device.

In general, it is preferable to choose lower inductance in switching power supplies, because it usually  
corresponds to faster transient response, smaller DCR, and reduced size for more compact designs. But too  
low of an inductance can generate too large of an inductor current ripple such that over current protection at  
the full load could be falsely triggered. It also generates more conduction loss and inductor core loss. Larger  
inductor current ripple also implies larger output voltage ripple with same output capacitors. With peak current  
mode control, it is not recommended to have too small of an inductor current ripple. A larger peak current ripple  
improves the comparator signal to noise ratio.  
For this design example, choose KIND = 0.3, the minimum inductor value is calculated to be 8.7 µH. Choose the  
nearest standard 8.2 μH ferrite inductor with a capability of 4 A RMS current and 6-A saturation current.  
11.2.2.4 Output Capacitor Selection  
The value of the output capacitor, and its ESR, determine the output voltage ripple and load transient  
performance. The output capacitor bank is usually limited by the load transient requirements, rather than the  
output voltage ripple. Equation 11 can be used to estimate a lower bound on the total output capacitance, and an  
upper bound on the ESR, required to meet a specified load transient.

(12)  
The output capacitor and ESR can then be adjusted to meet both the load transient and output ripple  
requirements.  
For this example we require a ΔVOUT of ≤ 250 mV for an output current step of ΔIOUT = 2.7 A. Equation 11 gives  
a minimum value of 86 µF and a maximum ESR of 0.08 Ω. Assuming a 20% tolerance and a 10% bias de-rating,  
we arrive at a minimum capacitance of 110 µF. This can be achieved with a bank of 5 × 22-µF, 10-V, ceramic  
capacitors in the 1210 case size. More output capacitance can be used to improve the load transient response.  
Ceramic capacitors can easily meet the minimum ESR requirements. In some cases an aluminum electrolytic  
capacitor can be placed in parallel with the ceramics to help build up the required value of capacitance.  
In practice the output capacitor has the most influence on the transient response and loop phase margin. Load  
transient testing and Bode plots are the best way to validate any given design and should always be completed  
before the application goes into production. In addition to the required output capacitance, a small ceramic  
placed on the output can help to reduce high frequency noise. Small case size ceramic capacitors in the range

of 1 nF to 100 nF can be very helpful in reducing voltage spikes on the output caused by inductor and board  
parasitics.  
The maximum value of total output capacitance should be limited to about 10 times the design value, or 1000  
µF, whichever is smaller. Large values of output capacitance can adversely affect the start-up behavior of the  
regulator as well as the loop stability. If values larger than noted here must be used, then a careful study of  
start-up at full load and loop stability must be performed.  
11.2.2.5 Input Capacitor Selection  
The TPS25846-Q1 device requires high frequency input decoupling capacitor(s) and a bulk input capacitor,  
depending on the application. A high-quality ceramic capacitor type X5R or X7R with sufficient voltage ratings  
are recommended. To compensate the derating of ceramic capacitors, a voltage rating of twice the maximum  
input voltage is recommended. The bulk capacitance selection depends upon a number of factors: long leads  
from the automotive battery to the IN pin of TPS25846-Q1, cold or warm engine crank requirements and so forth.  
The bulk capacitor is used to dampen voltage spike due to the lead inductance of the cable or the trace. For this  
design, one 10 μF, 50 V, X7R ceramic capacitors are used. A 0.1 μF for high-frequency filtering and place it as  
close as possible to the device pins. Consider adding additional bulk capacitance for operation through low VIN  
warm-crank profiles is required by the vehicle OEM.  
11.2.2.6 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection  
Every TPS25846-Q1 design requires a bootstrap capacitor (CBOOT). The recommended capacitor is 0.1 μF and  
rated 10 V or higher. The bootstrap capacitor is located between the SW pin and the BOOT pin. The bootstrap  
capacitor must be a high-quality ceramic type with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric for temperature stability.  
11.2.2.7 VCC Capacitor Selection  
The VCC pin is the output of an internal LDO for TPS2584x. The LDO supplies gate charge to the LS buck  
switch and is the supply to the digital state-machine and analog USB circuitry. To insure stability of the device,  
place a minimum of 2.2 μF, 10 V, X7R capacitor from this pin to ground. In addition a 0.1 μF high frequency  
decoupling capacitor is highly recommended.  
11.2.2.8 Enable and Under Voltage Lockout Set-Point  
The system enable and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) is adjusted using the external voltage divider network of  
RENT and RENB. The EN/UVLO has two thresholds, one for power up when the input voltage is rising and  
one for power down or brown outs when the input voltage is falling. The following equations can be used to  
determine the VIN(ON) and VIN(OFF) levels.  
(13)  
(14)  
VIN(ON) = 6 V (user choice)  
RENB = 5 kΩ (user choice)  
RENT = [(VIN(ON) / (VEN/UVLO_H) – 1] × RENB  
RENB = [(6 V / 1.2 V) – 1] × 5 kΩ = 20 kΩ. Choose standard 20 kΩ.  
Therefore VIN(OFF) = 6 V × [1 – (0.09 V / 1.2 V)] = 5.55 V  
11.2.2.9 Current Limit Set-Point  
The TPS25846-Q1 provides an accurate current limit to protect the USB port from overload based upon the  
values of RSNS, RSET and RILIMIT. The design process is the same regardless of whether buck average current

limiting or external NFET current limiting is chosen. The only difference is the current limit threshold voltage on  
the ILIMIT pin.  
RSNS is the current sense resistor. The recommended voltage across RSNS under current limit should be  
approximately 50 mV as a compromise between accuracy and power dissipation. For example, if current  
limiting is desired for IOUT(MAX) ≥ 3.3 A, then RSNS = 0.05 V / 3.3 A = 0.01515 Ω. Choose a standard value of  
15 mΩ.  
RSET determines the input current to the transconductance amplifier and current mirror. The amplifier  
balances the voltage to be equal to that across RSNS. Choose a RSET value to produce an ISET current  
between 75 - 180 µA at the desired IOUT(MAX). Considering 50 mV across RSET, a value of 300 Ω will provide  
approximately 166 µA of ISET current to the amplifier and mirror circuit. Care should be taken to limit the ISET  
current below 200 µA to avoid saturating the internal amplifier circuit.  
Buck average current limiting occurs when VILIMIT = 1 V. RILIMIT is calculated as 1 V × 300 Ω / [ 0.5 × (3.3 A ×  
15 mΩ + 0.7 mV) ] = 11.95 kΩ. A standard 11.8-kΩ value is chosen.  
11.2.2.10 Cable Compensation Set-Point  
From Table 11-1 the total cable resistance to be accounted for is 300 mΩ.  
1. From Current Limit Set-Point RSNS and RSET have been determined as 15 mΩ and 300 Ω, respectively.  
2. RWIRE = 300 mΩ.  
3. ΔVOUT = (RSNS + RWIRE) × IBUS = (0.015 + 0.3) × 3 = 1.0395 V.  
4. RIMON = (ΔVOUT × RSET × 2) / (IBUS × RSNS) = (1.0395 × 300 × 2) / (3.3 × 0.015) = 12.6 kΩ. A standard value  
of 12.7 kΩ is selected.  
11.2.2.11 FAULT Resistor Selection  
The FAULT pins are open-drain output flags. They can be connected to the TPS25846-Q1 VCC pin with 100 kΩ  
resistors, or connected to another suitable I/O voltage supply if actively monitored by a USB HUB or MCU. They  
can be left floating if unused.

SLVSFJ5B – JUNE 2020 – REVISED MARCH 2022

12 Power Supply Recommendations  
The TPS25846-Q1 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 6 V and 36 V. This input  
supply should be able to withstand the maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage. The resistance of  
the input supply rail should be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop  
at the TPS25846-Q1 supply voltage that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. If the input  
supply is located more than a few inches from the TPS25846-Q1, additional bulk capacitance may be required  
in addition to the ceramic input capacitors. The amount of bulk capacitance is not critical, but a 47-μF or 100-μF  
electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice.  
13 Layout  
13.1 Layout Guidelines  
Layout is a critical portion of good power supply design. The following guidelines will help users design a PCB  
with the best power conversion performance, thermal performance, and minimized generation of unwanted EMI.  
For more detailed EMC design consideration and test report, please refer to the PCB Layout and Parameters  
Recommendation for TPS2583X EMC Performance application report.  
1. Input capacitor: The input bypass capacitor CIN must be placed as close as possible to the IN and PGND  
pins. Grounding for both the input and output capacitors should consist of localized top side planes that  
connect to the PGND pin and PAD. A combination of different values and packages of capacitors can help  
improve the EMC performance (for example: 10 μF + 0.1 μF + 2.2 nF). Besides, the distance between the  
input filter section and the output power section must be at least 15mm to prevent the output high-frequency  
signal from coupling into the input filter. A 10-uF cap cross VIN and PGND pin on top of SW is suggested for  
TPS25846-Q1.  
2. VCC bypass capacitor: Place bypass capacitors for VCC close to the VCC pin and ground the bypass  
capacitor to device ground.  
3. Use a ground plane in one of the middle layers as noise shielding and heat dissipation path.  
4. Connect the thermal pad to the ground plane. The QFN package has a thermal pad (PAD) connection that  
must be soldered down to the PCB ground plane. This pad acts as a heat-sink connection. The integrity of  
this solder connection has a direct bearing on the total effective RθJA of the application.  
5. Make VIN, VOUT and ground bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the  
input or output paths of the converter and maximizes efficiency.  
6. Provide enough PCB area for proper heat sinking. As stated in the section, enough copper area must  
be used to ensure a low RθJA, commensurate with the maximum load current and ambient temperature.  
Make the top and bottom PCB layers with two-ounce copper; and no less than one ounce. Use an array of  
heat-sinking vias to connect the thermal pad (PAD) to the ground plane on the bottom PCB layer. If the PCB  
design uses multiple copper layers (recommended), thermal vias can also be connected to the inner layer  
heat-spreading ground planes.  
7. The SW pin connecting to the inductor should be as short as possible, and just wide enough to carry the  
load current without excessive heating. Short, thick traces or copper pours (shapes) will bring a high current  
conduction capacity to minimize parasitic resistance, but it will also cause a larger parasitic capacitance.  
Thus a balance should be found between smaller parasitic resistance and larger parasitic capacitance. And  
the current path should be kept straight forward to the inductor, otherwise the L-shaped or T-shaped path  
will make a sudden change of the impedance which causes signal reflection and impacts the performance of  
EMC. The output capacitors should be placed close to the VOUT end of the inductor and closely grounded to  
PGND pin and exposed PAD. Besides, do not punch vias on SW lines. Using shielded inductors or molded  
inductors to reduce high-frequency radiation.  
8. Sense and Set Resistors: The RSNS and RSET resistors connect to the current sense amplifier inputs at the  
CSP and CSN/OUT pins. For best current limit and cable compensation accuracy; short, parallel traces give  
the best performance. If it is not possible to place RSNS and RSET near the CSP and CSN/OUT pins, it is  
recommended that the traces from sense resistor be routed in parallel and of similar lengths. A small filter  
capacitor in parallel with RSNS and a small filter capacitor from CSN/OUT to AGND help decouple noise.  
9. RILIMIT and RIMON resistors should be placed as close as possible to the ILIMIT and IMON pins and  
connected to AGND. If needed, these components can be placed on the bottom side of the PCB with signals  
routed through small vias.

10. Trace routing of DP_IN, DM_IN, DP_OUT, and DM_OUT: Route these traces as micro-strips with nominal  
differential impedance of 90 Ω. Minimize the use of vias in the high-speed data lines. Keep the reference  
GND plane devoid from cuts or splits above the differential pairs to prevent impedance discontinuities.  
11. Keep the CC lines close to the same length. Do not create stubs or test points on the CC lines.  
12. BUCK_STand FAULT are open-drain outputs. They can be connected to the VCC pin via pull-up resistors.  
Suggested resistor value is 100 kΩ.  
13. The area enclosed by current loop of input side and output side should be as small as possible; the area  
enclosed by the BOOT circuit should be as small as possible.  
14. Power ground PGND and the signal ground AGND should be separated in the actual PCB layout.  
13.2 Layout Example  
Figure 13-1. Layout Example  
13.3 Ground Plane and Thermal Considerations  
It is recommended to use one of the middle layers as a solid ground plane. Ground plane provides shielding for  
sensitive circuits and traces. It also provides a quiet reference potential for the control circuitry. The PGND pins  
should be connected to the ground plane using vias right next to the bypass capacitors. PGND pin is connected  
to the source of the internal LS switch. The PGND net contains noise at switching frequency and may bounce  
due to load variations. PGND trace, as well as VIN and SW traces, should be constrained to one side of the  
ground plane. The other side of the ground plane contains much less noise and should be used for sensitive  
routes. AGND and PGND should be connected under the QFN package PAD.

SLVSFJ5B – JUNE 2020 – REVISED MARCH 2022

It is recommended to provide adequate device heat sinking by utilizing the PAD of the IC as the primary thermal  
path. Use a minimum 2 row, 2 column "+" array of 12 mil thermal vias to connect the PAD to the system ground  
plane heat sink. The vias should be evenly distributed under the PAD. Use as much copper as possible, for  
system ground plane, on the top and bottom layers for the best heat dissipation. Use a four-layer board with the  
copper thickness for the four layers, starting from the top of 2 oz, 1 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz. Four layer boards with enough  
copper thickness provide low current conduction impedance, proper shielding and lower thermal resistance.  
The thermal characteristics of the TPS25846-Q1 are specified using the parameter θJA, which characterize the  
junction temperature of silicon to the ambient temperature in a specific system. Although the value of θJA is  
dependent on many variables, it still can be used to approximate the operating junction temperature of the  
device. To obtain an estimate of the device junction temperature, one may use the following relationship:  
TJ = PD × θJA + TA  
(15)  
where  
TJ = Junction temperature in °C  
PD = VIN × IIN × (1 - Efficiency) – 1.1 × IOUT 2 × DCR in Watt  
DCR = Inductor DC parasitic resistance in Ω  
θJA = Junction to ambient thermal resistance of the device in °C/W  
TA = Ambient temperature in °C  
θJA is highly related to PCB size and layout, as well as environmental factors such as heat sinking and air flow.
