MIDRANGE INPUT SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONTROLLER  
WITH VOLTAGE FEED-FORWARD  
The TPS40075 drives external N-channel MOSFETs  
using second generation Predictive Gate Drive to  
minimize conduction in the body diode of the low  
side FET and maximize efficiency. Pre-biased  
outputs are supported by not allowing the low side  
FET to turn on until the voltage commanded by the  
closed loop soft start is greater than the pre-bias  
voltage. Voltage feed forward provides good  
response to input transients and provides a constant  
PWM gain over a wide input voltage operating range  
to ease compensation requirements. Programmable  
short circuit protection provides fault current limiting  
and hiccup recovery to minimize power dissipation  
with a shorted output. The 20 pin QFN package  
gives good thermal performance and a compact  
footprint.

The BOOST voltage is 8-V greater than the input voltage. The peak voltage on BOOST is equal to the SW node  
voltage plus the voltage present at DBP less the bootstrap diode drop. This drop can be 1.4 V for the internal  
bootstrap diode or 300 mV for an external schottkey diode. The voltage differential between this pin and SW is  
the available drive voltage for the high-side FET.

from this pin to ground sets a voltage drop across an external resistor connected from this pin to VDD. The  
voltage on this pin is compared to the voltage drop (VVDD -VSW) across the high side N-channel MOSFET during  
conduction. Just prior to the beginning of a switching cycle this pin is pulled to approximately VVDD/2 and released  
when SW is within 2 V of VVDD or after a timeout (the precondition time) - whichever occurs first. Placing a  
capacitor across the resistor from ILIM to VDD allows the ILIM threshold to decrease during the switch on time,  
effectively programming the ILIM blanking time. See Applications Information section.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
The TPS40075 allows the user to construct synchronous voltage mode buck converters with inputs ranging from  
4.5 V to 28 V and outputs as low as 700 mV. Predictive gate drive circuitry optimizes switching delays for  
increased efficiency and improved converter output power capability. Voltage feed-forward is employed to ease  
loop compensation for wide input range designs and provide better line transient response.  
An on-board unity gain differential amplifier is provided for remote sensing in applications that require the  
tightest load regulation. The TPS40075 incorporates circuitry to allow startup into a pre-existing output voltage  
without sinking current from the source of the pre-existing output voltage. This avoids damaging sensitive loads  
at startup. The controller can be synchronized to an external clock source or can free run at a user  
programmable frequency. An integrated power good indicator is available for logic (open drain) output of the  
condition of the output of the converter.  
MINIMUM PULSE WIDTH  
The TPS40075 has limitations on the minimum pulse width that can be used to design a converter. Reliable  
operation is guaranteed for nominal pulse widths of 150 ns and above. This places some restrictions on the  
conversion ratio that can be achieved at a given switching frequency. See Figure 16.  
SLEW RATE LIMIT ON VDD  
The regulator that supplies power for the drivers on the TPS40075 requires a limited rising slew rate on VDD for  
proper operation if the input voltage is above 10 V. If the slew rate is too great, this regulator can over shoot and  
damage to the part can occur. To ensure that the part operates properly, limit the slew rate to no more than  
0.12 V/µs as the voltage at VDD crosses 8 V. If necessary, an R-C filter can be used on the VDD pin of the  
device. Connect the resistor from the VDD pin to the input supply of the converter. Connect the capacitor from  
the VDD pin to PGND. There should not be excessive (more than a 200-mV) voltage drop across the resistor in  
normal operation. This places some constraints on the R-C values that can be used. Figure 25 is a schematic  
fragment that shows the connection of the R-C slew rate limit circuit. Equation 1 and Equation 2 give values for  
R and C that limits the slew rate in the worst case condition.

SETTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY (PROGRAMMING THE CLOCK OSCILLATOR)  
The TPS40075 has independent clock oscillator and PWM ramp generator circuits. The clock oscillator serves  
as the master clock to the ramp generator circuit. Connecting a single resistor from RT to ground sets the  
switching frequency of the clock oscillator. The clock frequency is related to RT by:

PROGRAMMING THE RAMP GENERATOR CIRCUIT AND UVLO FUNCTION  
The ramp generator circuit provides the actual ramp used by the PWM comparator and provides voltage  
feed-forward by varying the PWM ramp slope as the line voltage changes. As the input voltage to the converter  
increases, the slope of the PWM ramp increase by a proportionate amount. The programmable UVLO circuit  
works by monitoring the level reached by the PWM ramp during a clock cycle. The PWM ramp must reach  
approximately 1 V in amplitude during a clock cycle, or the converter is not be allowed to start. This  
programmable UVLO point is set via a single resistor (RKFF) connected from KFF to VDD. RKFF , VSTART and RRT  
are related by (approximately)

This yields typical numbers for the programmed startup voltage. The minimum and maximum values may vary  
up ±15% from this number. Figure 19 through Figure 21 show the typical relationship of VUVLO(on), VUVLO(off) and  
RKFF at three common frequencies.  
The programmable UVLO circuit incorporates 20% hysteresis from the start voltage to the shutdown voltage. For  
example, if the startup voltage is programmed to be 10 V, the controller starts when VDD reaches 10 V and shuts  
down when VDD falls below 8 V. The maximum duty cycle begins to decrease as the input voltage rises to twice  
the startup voltage. Below this point, the maximum duty cycle is as specified in the electrical table. Note that with  
this scheme, the theoretical maximum output voltage that the converter can produce is approximately two times  
the programmed startup voltage. For design, set the programmed startup voltage equal to or greater than the  
desired output voltage divided by maximum duty cycle (85% for frequencies 500 kHz and below). For example,  
a 5-V output converter should not have a programmed startup voltage below 5.9 V. Figure 22 shows the  
theoretical maximum duty cycle (typical) for various programmed startup voltages  
If the programmable UVLO voltage is set below 6.5V nominal, a possibility exists that the part may enter factory  
test mode when powered down. This can cause an undesired output rise as power is removed from the  
converter. To prevent this from happening, connect a 330 kresistor from SS to GND. An example of this can  
be seen in Figure 37

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)  
Figure 26 shows the effect of changing input voltage on the duty cycle, and how that change takes place. The  
pulse width modulator (PWM) ramp input is generated using a current that is proportional to the current into the  
KFF pin. The TPS40075 holds this pin at a constant 400 mV, so connecting a resistor from KFF to the input  
power supply causes a current to flow into the KFF pin that is proportional to the input voltage. The slope of the  
ramp signal to the PWM is therefore proportional to the input voltage. This allows the duty cycle to change with  
variations in Vin without requiring much response from the error amplifier, resulting in very good line transient  
response. Another benefit is essentially constant PWM gain over the entire input voltage operating range. This  
makes the output control loop easier to design for a wide input range converter.

PROGRAMMING SOFT START  
TPS40075 uses a closed-loop approach to ensure a controlled ramp on the output during start-up. Soft-start is  
programmed by connecting an external capacitor (CSS) from the SS pin to GND. This capacitor is charged by a  
fixed current, generating a ramp signal. The voltage on SS is level shifted down approximately 1 V and fed into a  
separate non-inverting input to the error amplifier. The loop is closed on the lower of the level shifted SS voltage  
or the 700-mV internal reference voltage. Once the level shifted SS voltage rises above the internal reference  
voltage, output voltage regulation is based on the internal reference. To ensure a controlled ramp-up of the  
output voltage the soft-start time should be greater than the L-COUT time constant or:

charged faster.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)  
PROGRAMMING SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION  
The TPS40075 uses a two-tier approach to short circuit protection. The first tier is a pulse-by-pulse protection  
scheme. Short circuit protection is implemented by sensing the voltage drop across the high-side MOSFET while  
it is turned on. The MOSFET drain to source voltage is compared to the voltage dropped across a resistor (RILIM  
)
connected from VDD to the ILIM pin. The voltage drop across this resistor is produced by a constant current  
sink. If the voltage drop across the MOSFET exceeds the voltage drop across the ILIM resistor the switching  
pulse is immediately terminated. The MOSFET remains off until the next switching cycle is initiated.  
In addition, just prior to the high-side MOSFET turning on, the ILIM pin is pulled down to approximately half of  
VDD. The ILIM pin is allowed to return to its nominal value after one of two events occur:  
1. The SW node rises to within approximately 2 V of VDD  
2. An internal timeout occurs, approximately 125-ns after ILIM is initially pulled down  
If the SW node rises to within approximately 2-V of VDD, the device allows ILIM to go back to its nominal value.  
This is illustrated in Figure 27 A. T1 is the delay time from the internal PWM signal being asserted and the rise  
of SW. This includes the driver delay of 50 ns typical, and the turn on time of the high-side MOSFET. The  
MOSFET used should have a turn on time less than 75 ns. T2 is the reaction time of the sensing circuit that  
allows ILIM to start to return to its nominal value, typically 20ns.

Figure 27. Switching and Current Limit Waveforms and Timing Relationship  
The second event that can cause ILIM to return to its nominal value is for an internal timeout to expire. This is  
illustrated in Figure 27 B as T3. Here SW never rises to VDD-2, for whatever reason, and the internal timer  
times out. This allows the ILIM pin to start its transition back to its nominal value.  
Prior to ILIM starting back to its nominal value, short circuit sensing is not enabled. In normal operation, this  
insures that the SW node is at a higher voltage than ILIM when short circuit sensing starts, avoiding false trips  
while allowing for a quicker blanking delay than would ordinarily be possible. Placing a capacitor across RILIM  
sets an exponential approach to the normal voltage at the ILIM pin. This exponential “decay” of the short circuit  
threshold can be used to compensate for ringing on the SW node after its rising edge and to help compensate  
for slower turn-on MOSFETs. Choosing the proper capacitance requires care. If the capacitance is too large, the  
voltage at ILIM does not approach the desired short circuit level quickly enough, resulting in an apparent shift in  
short circuit threshold as pulse width changes.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)  
The comparator that looks at ILIM and SW to determine if a short circuit condition exists has a clamp on its SW  
input. This clamp makes the SW node never appear to fall more than 1.4 V (approximately, could be as much as  
2 V at – 40°C) below VDD. While ILIM is more than 1.4 V below VDD short circuit sensing is effectively disabled,  
giving a programmable absolute blanking time. As a general rule, it is best to make the time constant of the R-C  
at the ILIM pin 20% or less of the nominal pulse width of the converter (See Equation 11)  
The second tier protection incorporates a fault counter. The fault counter is incremented on each cycle with an  
overcurrent pulse and decremented on a clock cycle without an overcurrent pulse. When the counter reaches  
seven (7) a fault condition is declared by the controller. When this happens, the output drivers turn both  
MOSFETs off. Seven soft-start cycles are initiated (without activity on the HDRV and LDRV outputs) and the  
PWM is disabled during this period. The counter is decremented on each soft-start cycle. When the counter is  
decremented to zero the PWM is re-enabled and the controller attempts to restart. If the fault has been removed  
the output starts up normally. If the output fault is still present the counter counts seven overcurrent pulses and  
re-enters the second tier fault mode. Refer to Figure 28 for typical fault protection waveforms.

The TPS40075 provides short-circuit protection only. As such, it is recommended that the minimum short circuit  
protection level be placed at least 20% above the maximum output current required from the converter. The  
maximum output of the converter should be the steady state maximum output plus any transient specification  
that may exist.

Note that this is a recommended maximum value. If a smaller value can be used, it should be to improve  
protection. For most applications, consider using half the maximum value shown in Equation 11.  
BOOST AND DBP BYPASS CAPACITANCE  
The BOOST capacitance provides a local, low-impedance flying source for the high-side driver. The BOOST  
capacitor should be a good quality, high-frequency ceramic capacitor. A minimum value of 100-nF is suggested.  
The DBP capacitor has to provide energy storage for switching both the synchronous MOSFET and the  
high-side MOSFET (via the BOOST capacitor). The suggested value for this capacitor is 1-µF ceramic,  
minimum.  
INTERNAL REGULATORS  
The internal regulators are linear regulators that provide controlled voltages for the drivers and the internal  
circuitry to operate from. The low-side driver operates directly from the 8-V regulator supply while the high-side  
driver bootstrap capacitor is charged from this supply. The actual voltage delivered to the high-side driver is the  
voltage on the DBP pin less any drop from the bootstrap diode. If the internal bootstrap diode is used, the drop  
across that diode is nominally 1.4 V at room temperature. This regulator has two modes of operation. At  
voltages below 8.5 V on VDD, the regulator is in a low dropout mode of operation and tries to provide as little  
impedance as possible from VDD to DBP. When VDD is above 10 V, the regulator regulates DBP to 8 V.  
Between these two voltages, the regulator is in whatever state it was in when VDD entered this region. The

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)  
LVBP pin is connected to a 4.2-V regulator that supplies power for the internal control circuitry. Small amounts of  
current can be drawn from these pins for other external circuit functions, as long as power dissipation in the  
controller chip remains at acceptable levels and junction temperature does not exceed 125°C. Any external load  
connected to LVBP should be electrically quiet to avoid degrading performance of the TPS40075. Typical output  
voltages for these two regulators are shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24.  
DIFFERENTIAL SENSE AMPLIFIER  
The TPS40075 has an on board differential amplifier intended for use as a remote sensing amplifier for the  
output voltage. Use of this amplifier for remote sensing eliminates load regulation issues due to voltage drops  
that occur between the converter and the actual point of load. The amplifier is powered from the DBP pin and  
can be used to monitor output voltages up to 6 V with a DBP voltage of 8 V. For lower DBP voltages, the sense  
amplifier can be used to monitor output voltages up to 2-V below the DBP voltage. The internal resistors used to  
configure the amplifier for unity gain match each other closely, but their absolute values can vary as much as  
30%, so adding external resistance to alter the gain is not accurate in a production environment.  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
The SYNC pin accepts logic level signals and is used to synchronize the TPS40075 to an external clock source.  
Synchronization occurs on the rising edge of the signal at the SYNC pin. There is a fixed delay of approximately  
300 ns from the rising edge of the waveform at SYNC to the HDRV output turning on the high-side FET. The pin  
may be left floating in this function is not used, or it may be connected to GND. The frequency of the external  
clock must be greater than the free running frequency of the device as set by the resistor on the RT pin (RRT).  
This pin requires a totem pole drive, or open collector/drain if pull up resistor to either LVBP or a separate supply  
between 2.5 V and 5 V is used. Synchronization does not affect the modulator gain due to the voltage feed  
forward circuitry. The programmable UVLO thresholds are affected by synchronization. The thresholds are  
shifted by the ratio of the sync frequency to the free running frequency of the converter. For example,  
synchronizing to a frequency 20% higher than the free running frequency results in the programmable UVLO  
thresholds shifting up 20% from their calculated free run values. The synchronization frequency should be kept  
less than 1.5 times the free run frequency for best performance, although higher multiples can be used.  
POWERGOOD OPERATION  
The PGD pin is an open drain output that actively pulls to GND if any of the following conditions are met  
(assuming that the input voltage is above 4.5 V)  
Soft-start is active (VVSS < 3.5 V)  
VFB < 0.63 V  
VFB > 0.77 V  
Programmable UVLO condition not satisfied (VIN below programmed level)  
Overcurrent condition exists  
Die temperature is greater than 165°C  
PRE-BIASED OUTPUTS  
Some applications require that the converter not sink current during startup if a pre-existing voltage exists at the  
output. Since synchronous buck converters inherently sink current some method of overcoming this  
characteristic must be employed. Applications that require this operation are typically power rails for a multi  
supply processor or ASIC. The method used in this controller, is to not allow the low side or rectifier FET to turn  
on until there the output voltage commanded by the start up ramp is higher than the pre-existing output voltage.  
This is detected by monitoring the internal pulse width modulator (PWM) for its first output pulse. Since this  
controller uses a closed loop startup, the first output pulse from the PWM does not occur until the output voltage  
is commanded to be higher than the pre-existing voltage. This effectively limits the controller to sourcing current  
only during the startup sequence.  
If the pre-existing voltage is higher that the intended regulation point for the output of the converter, the  
converter starts and sinks current when the soft-start time has completed

SHUTDOWN AND SEQUENCING  
The TPS40075 can be shut down by pulling the SS pin to a level below 250 mV. Pulling the pin low resets the  
internal pre-bias circuitry to ensure that the converter does not damage sensitive loads.  
Automatic startup sequencing can be accomplished by connecting the PGD pin of a master supply based on the  
TPS40075 to the SS pin of a slave supply. The master comes up first and release the salve SS pin to allow the  
slave to come up. Controlled shutdown of sequenced supplies can be accomplished by either pulling the SS pin  
of the master below the shutdown threshold and letting the PGD pin pull the slave SS pin down, or by pulling  
down the SS pins of all supplies simultaneously.  
TPS40075 POWER DISSIPATION  
The power dissipation in the TPS40075 is largely dependent on the MOSFET driver currents and the input  
voltage. The driver current is proportional to the total gate charge, Qg, of the external MOSFETs. Driver power

BOOST DIODE  
The TPS40075 has internal diodes to charge the boost capacitor connected from SW to BOOST. The drop  
across this diode is rather large at 1.4-V nominal at room temperature resulting in the drive voltage to the  
high-side MOSFET being reduced by this amount from the DBP voltage. If this drop is too large for a particular  
application, an external diode may be connected from DBP (anode) to BOOST (cathode). This provides  
significantly improved gate drive for the high-side MOSFET, especially at lower input voltages.

GROUNDING AND BOARD LAYOUT  
The TPS40075 provides separate signal ground (GND) and power ground (PGND) pins. Care should be given  
to proper separation of the circuit grounds. Each ground should consist of a plane to minimize its impedance if  
possible. The high power noisy circuits such as the output, synchronous rectifier, MOSFET driver decoupling  
capacitor (DBP), and the input capacitor should be connected to PGND plane.  
Sensitive nodes such as the FB resistor divider and RT should be connected to the GND plane. The GND plane  
should only make a single point connection to the PGND plane. It is suggested that the GND pin be tied to the  
copper area for the PowerPAD underneath the chip. Tie the PGND to the PowerPAD copper area as well and  
make the connection to the power circuit ground from the PGND pin. Reference the output voltage divider to the  
GND pin.  
Component placement should ensure that bypass capacitors (LVPB and DBP) are located as close as possible  
to their respective power and ground pins. Also, sensitive circuits such as FB, RT and ILIM should not be  
located near high dv/dt nodes such as HDRV, LDRV, BOOST, and the switch node (SW). Failure to follow  
careful layout practices results in sub-optimal operation.

3. COMPONENT SELECTION  
3. 1 Power Train Components  
Designers familiar with the buck converter can skip to section 3.2 Component Selection for TPS40075.  
3.1.1 Output Inductor, LO  
The output inductor is one of the most important components to select. It stores the energy necessary to keep  
the output regulated when the switch MOSFET is turned off. The value of the output inductor dictates the peak  
and RMS currents in the converter. These currents are important when selecting other components. Equation 17  
can be used to calculate a value for L.

I is the allowable ripple in the inductor. Selecting I also sets the output current when the converter goes into  
discontinuous mode (DCM) operation. Since this converter utilizes MOSFETs for the rectifier, DCM is not a  
major concern. Select I to be between 20% and 30% of maximum ILOAD. For this design, I of 3 A was  
selected. The calculated L is 1.1 µH. A standard inductor with value of 1.0 µH was chosen. This increases I by  
about 10% to 3.3 A.  
With this I value, calculate the RMS and peak current flowing in LO. Note this peak current is also seen by the  
switching MOSFET and synchronous rectifier.

3.1.2 Output Capacitor, CO, ELCO and MLCC  
Several parameters must be considered when selecting the output capacitor. The capacitance value should be  
selected based on the output overshoot, VOVER, and undershoot, VUNDER, during a transient load, ISTEP, on the  
converter. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) is chosen to allow the converter meet the output ripple  
specification, VRIPPLE. The voltage rating must be greater than the maximum output voltage. Other parameters to  
consider are: equivalent series inductance which is important in fast transient load situations. Also size and  
technology can be factors when choosing the output capacitor. In this design a large capacitance electrolytic  
type capacitor, CO ELCO, is used to meet the overshoot and under shoot specifications. Its ESR is chosen to  
meet the output ripple specification. While a smaller multiple layer ceramic capacitor, CO MLCC, is used to filter  
high frequency noise.  
The minimum required capacitance and maximum ESR can be calculated using the equations below.

Using Equation 20 through Equation 22, the capacitance for CO should be greater than 495 µF and its ESR  
should be less than 9.1m. The 1000 µF/25 V capacitor from Rubycon's MBZ or Panasonic's series EEU-FL  
was chosen. Its ESR is 19 m, so two in parallel are used. The slightly higher ESR is offset by the four times  
increase in capacitance. A 2.2 µF/16 V MLCC is also added in parallel to reduce high frequency noise.

3.1.3. Input Capacitor, CIN, ELCO and MLCC  
The input capacitor is selected to handle the ripple current of the buck stage. Also a relative large capacitance is  
used to keep the ripple voltage on the supply line low. This is especially important where the supply line is high  
impedance. It is recommended that the supply line be kept low impedance. The input capacitor ripple current  
can be calculated using Equation 23.

This is calculated simply by multiplying the output DC current by the duty cycle. The ripple current in the input  
capacitor is 5.05 A. A 1206 MLCC using X7R material has a typical dissipation factor of 5%. For a 2.2 µF  
capacitor at 400 kHz the ESR is approximately 7.2 m. If two capacitors are used in parallel the power  
dissipation in each capacitor is less than 46 mW.  
A 470 µF/16 V electrolytic capacitor is added to maintain the voltage on the input rail.  
3.1.4 Switching MOSFET, QSW  
The following key parameters must be met by the selected MOSFET.  
Drain source voltage, VDS, must be able to withstand the input voltage plus spikes that may be on the  
switching node. For this design a VDS rating of 25 V to 30 V is recommended.  
Drain current, ID, at 25°C, must be greater than that calculated using Equation 24. For this design, ID should  
be greater than 5 A.

Gate source voltage, VGS must be able to withstand the gate voltage from the control device . For the  
TPS40075 this is 9 V.  
Once the above boundary parameters are defined the next step in selecting the switching MOSFET is to select  
the key performance parameters. Efficiency is the performance characteristic which drives the other selection  
criteria. Target efficiency for this design is 90%. Based on 1.5-V output and 15 A this equates to a power loss in  
the converter of 2.5 W. Using this figure a target of 0.5 W dissipated in the switching MOSFET was chosen.

QOSS(SW) = switching MOSFET output charge  
QOSS(SR) = synchronous MOSFET output charge  
Qg(TOT) = total gate charge from zero volts to the gate voltage  
Vg = gate voltage  
If the total estimated loss is split evenly between conduction and switching losses, Equation 25 and Equation 26  
yields preliminary values for RDS(on) and (Qgs1 + Qgd). Note output losses due to QOSS and gate losses have been  
ignored here. Once a MOSFET is selected these parameters can be added.  
The switching MOSFET for this design should have an RDS(on) of less than 9 m. The sum of Qgd and Qgs  
should be approximately 4 nC.  
It is not always possible to get a MOSFET which meets both these criteria so a comprise may have to be made.  
Also by selecting different MOSFETs close to this criteria and calculating power loss the final selection can be  
made. It was found that the PH6325L MOSFET from Philips semiconductor gave reasonable results. This device  
has an RDS(on) of 6.3 mand a (Qgs1+Qgd) of 5.9 nC. The estimated conduction losses are 0.178 W and the  
switching losses are 0.270 W. This gives a total estimated power loss of 0.448 W versus 0.5 W for our initial  
boundary condition. Note this does not include gate losses of approximately 10 mW and output losses of less  
than 1 mW.  
3.1.5 Rectifier MOSFET, QSR  
Similar criteria can be used for the rectifier MOSFET. There is one significant difference. Due to the body diode  
conducting, the rectifier MOSFET switches with near zero voltage across its drain and source so effectively with  
near zero switching losses. However, there are some losses in the body diode. These are minimized by  
reducing the delay time between the transition from the switching MOSFET turn off to rectifier MOSFET turn on  
and vice versa. The TPS40075 incorporates TI's proprietary predictive gate drive which helps reduce this delay  
to between 10 ns and 20 ns.

Vf = body diode forward voltage  
Estimating the body diode losses based on a forward voltage of 1.2 V gives 0.142 W. The gate losses are  
unknown at this time so assume 0.1 W gate losses. This leaves 0.258 W for conduction losses. Using this figure  
a target RDS(on) of 1.1 mwas calculated. This is an extremely low value. It is not possible to meet this without  
paralleling multiple MOSFETs. Paralleling MOSFETs increases the gate capacitance and slows down switching  
speeds. This increases body diode and gate losses.  
The PH2625L from Philips was chosen. Using the parameters from its data sheet the actual expected power  
losses were calculated. Conduction loss is 0.527 W, body diode loss is 0.142 W and the gate loss was 0.174 W.  
This totals 0.843 W associated with the rectifier MOSFET. This is somewhat greater than the initial allowance.  
Because of this the converter may not hit its efficiency figure at the maximum load.  
Two other criteria should be verified before finalizing on the rectifier MOSFET. One is the requirement to ensure  
that predictive gate drive functions correctly. The maximum turn off delay of the PH2625L is 67 ns. The minimum  
turn on delay of the PH6325L is 25 ns. These devices easily meet the 100 ns difference requirement.  
Secondly the ratio between Cgs and Cgd should be greater than 1. The Cgs of the PH2625L is 2133 pF and the  
Cgd is 1622 pF, so the Cgs:Cgd ratio is 1.3:1. This helps reduce the risk of dv/dt induced turn on of the rectifier  
MOSFET. If this is likely to be a problem a small resistor may be added in series with the boost capacitor,  
CBOOST

This gives a resistor value of 89.2 k. Using the E24 range of resistor values a 118-kresistor was selected.  
The nominal frequency using this resistor is 398 kHz.  
3.2.2 Feed Forward and UVLO Resistor, RKFF  
A resistor connected to the KFF pin of the device feeds into the ramp generator. This resistor provides current  
into the ramp generator proportional to the input voltage. The ramp is then adjusted to compensate for different  
input voltages. Is provides the voltage feed forward feature of the TPS40075.  
The same resistor also sets the under voltage lock out point. The input start voltage should be used to calculate  
a value for RKFF. For this converter the minimum input voltage is 10.8 V however due to tolerances in the device,  
a start voltage of 15% less than the minimum input voltage is selected. The start voltage for RKFF calculation is  
9.18 V. Using Equation 34 RKFF can be selected.

It is good practice to limit the rise time of the output voltage. This helps prevent output overshoot and possible  
damage to the load. The selection of the soft start time is arbitrary, but it must meet one condition; it should be  
greater than the time constant of the output filter, L and CO. This time is given by Equation 35  
ǸL   C

The soft-start time must be greater than 0.281 ms. A time of 1 ms was chosen, this time also helps keep the  
initial input current during start up low. The value of CSS can be calculated using Equation 36.

3.2.4 Short Circuit Protection, RILIM and CILIM  
Short circuit protection is programmed using the RILIM resistor. Selection of this resistor depends on the RDS(on) of  
the switching MOSFET selected and the required short circuit current trip point, ISCP. The minimum ISCP is limited  
by the inductor peak current, the output voltage, the output capacitor and the soft start time. Their relationship is  
given by Equation 37. A short circuit current trip point greater than that calculated by this equation should be  
used.

3.2.5 Voltage Decoupling Capacitors, CDBP, CLVBP and CVDD  
Several pins on the TPS40075 have DC voltages. It is recommended to add small decoupling capacitors to  
these pins. Below is a list of the recommended values.  
CDBP = 1.0 µF  
CLVBP = 0.1 µF  
CVDD = 4.7 µF  
3.2.6 Boost Voltage, CBOOST and DBOOST (optional)  
A capacitor charge pump or boost circuit is required to drive an N-channel MOSFET in the switch location of a  
buck converter . The TPS40075 contains the elements for this boost circuit. The designer just has to add a  
capacitor, CBOOST, from the switch node of the buck power stage to the BOOST pin of the device. Selection of  
this capacitor is based on the total gate charge of the switching MOSFET and the allowable ripple on the boost  
voltage, VBOOST. A ripple of 0.15 V is assumed for this design. Using these two parameters and Equation 42  
the minimum value for CBOOST can be calculated.  
Q
g(TOTAL)  
C
u
BOOST  
DV  
BOOST  
(42)  
The total gate charge of the switching MOSFET is 13.3 nC. A minimum CBOOST of 0.089 µF is required. A 0.1 µF  
capacitor was chosen.  
This capacitor must be able to withstand the maximum voltage on DBP (10 V in this instance ). A 50 V capacitor  
is used for expediancy.  
To reduce losses in the TPS40075 and to increase the available gate voltage for the switching MOSFET an  
external diode can be added between the DBP pin and the BOOST pin of the device. A small signal schottky  
should be used here, such as the BAT54.  
3.3 Closing the Feedback Loop, RZ1, RP1, RPZ2, RSET1, RSET2, CZ2, CP2 and CPZ1

To describe this in a Bode plot, the DC gain must be expressed in dB. The DC gain is equal to KPWM. To  
express this in dB we take its LOG and multiple by 20. For this converter the DC gain is shown in Equation 46.

The pole and zero frequencies should be calculated, also. A double pole is associated with the L-C and a zero is  
associated with the ESR of the output capacitor. The frequency at where these occur can be calculated using  
the following two equations.

The next step is to establish the required compensation gain to achieve the desired overall system response.  
The target response is to have the crossover frequency between 1/10 to 1/4 times the switching frequency. To  
have a phase margin greater than 45° and a gain margin greater than 6 dB.  
A Type III compensation network, as shown in Figure 31, was used for this design. This network gives the best  
overall flexibility for compensating the converter.

Using this PWM and L-C bode plot the following actions ensure stability.  
1. Place two zero’s close to the double pole, i.e. fZ1 = fZ2 = 3559 Hz  
2. Place a pole at one octave below the desired crossover frequency. The crossover frequency was selected  
as one quarter the switching frequency, fCO = 100 kHz, fP1 = 50 kHz  
3. Place the second pole about an octave above fco. This ensures that the overall system gain falls off quickly  
to give good gain margin, fP2 = 200 kHz  
4. The high-frequency gain is sufficient to ensure 0 dB at the required crossover frequency, GAIN = -1 GAIN  
of PWM and LC at the crossover frequency, GAIN = 17.6 dB, or 7.586  
Desired frequency response and resultant overall system response can be seen in Figure 33.

Using these values and the equations above the resistors and capacitors around the compensation network can  
be calculated.  
1. Set RZ1 = 10 k.  
2. Calculate RSET using Equation 49; RSET = 8750 . Two resistors in parallel, RSET1 and RSET2, are used to  
make up RSET. RSET1 = 9.53 k, RSET2 = 105 k.  
3. Using Equation 54 and fZ1 = 3559 Hz, CPZ1 can be calculated to be 4.47 nF; CPZ1= 4.7 nF.  
4. FP1 and Equation 52 yields RP1 to be 677 , RP1 = 680 .  
5. The required gain of 17.6 dB (7.586) and Equation 52 sets the value for RPZ1. Note actual gain used for this  
calculation was 20 dB (10), this ensures that the gain of the transfer function is high enough, RPZ1 = 6.2 k.  
6. CZ2 is calculated using Equation 55 and the desired frequency for the second zero, CZ2 = 6.8 nF.  
7. CP2 is calculated using the second pole frequency and Equation 53, CP2 = 150 pF.  
Using MathCAD the above values were used to draw the actual Bode plot for gain and phase. From these plots  
the crossover frequency, phase margin and gain margin can be recorded.
