DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)  
The TPS40077 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 16-pin PowerPAD package gives good thermal performance and a  
compact footprint.

(MOSFET off).

O
Short-circuit-protection programming pin. This pin is used to set the short circuit detection threshold. An internal  
current sink 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  
VDD/2 and released when SW is within 2 V of VDD 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 Application Information.

A resistor connected from this pin to VIN programs the amount of feed-forward voltage. The current fed into this

Soft-start programming pin. A capacitor connected from this pin to GND programs the soft-start time. The  
capacitor is charged with an internal current source of 12 µA. The resulting voltage ramp on the SS pin is used as  
a second noninverting input to the error amplifier. The voltage at this error amplifier input is approximately 1 V  
less than that on the SS pin. Output voltage regulation is controlled by the SS voltage ramp until the voltage on  
the SS pin reaches the internal offset voltage of 1 V plus the internal reference voltage of 700 mV. If SS is pulled  
below 225 mV, the device goes into a shutdown state where the power FETSs are turned off and the prebias

TPS40077

SLUS714JANUARY 2007  
APPLICATION INFORMATION  
The TPS40077 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.  
The TPS40077 incorporates circuitry to allow startup into a preexisting output voltage without sinking current  
from the source of the preexisting output voltage. This avoids damaging sensitive loads at start-up. 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 DURATION  
The TPS40077 devices have limitations on the minimum pulse duration that can be used to design a converter.  
Reliable operation is assured for nominal pulse durations of 150 ns and above. This places some restrictions on  
the conversion ratio that can be achieved at a given switching frequency. Figure 14 shows minimum output  
voltage for a given input voltage and frequency.  
SLEW RATE LIMIT ON VDD  
The regulator that supplies power for the drivers on the TPS40077 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 overshoot 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 22 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 limit the slew rate in the worst-case condition.

SETTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY (PROGRAMMING THE CLOCK OSCILLATOR)  
The TPS40077 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  
The ramp generator circuit provides the actual ramp used by the PWM comparator. The ramp generator  
provides voltage feed-forward control by varying the PWM ramp slope with line voltage, while maintaining a  
constant ramp magnitude. Varying the PWM ramp directly with line voltage provides excellent response to line  
variations, because the PWM is not required to wait for loop delays before changing the duty cycle. (See  
Figure 23).  
The PWM ramp must reach approximately 1 V in amplitude during a clock cycle, or the PWM is not allowed to  
start. The PWM ramp time is programmed via a single resistor (RKFF) connected from KFF VDD. RKFF, VSTART

and RT are related by (approximately):

This yields typical numbers for the programmed startup voltage. The minimum and maximum values may vary  
up to ±15% from this number. Figure 16 through Figure 18 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 Characteristics  
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 23 shows the theoretical maximum duty cycle (typical) for various programmed startup voltages.

PROGRAMMING SOFT START  
TPS40077 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 noninverting 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:

Note that there is a direct correlation between tSTART and the input current required during start-up. The lower

PROGRAMMING SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION  
The TPS40077 uses a two-tier approach for short-circuit protection. The first tier is a pulse-by-pulse protection  
scheme. Short-circuit protection is implemented on the high-side MOSFET by sensing the voltage drop across  
the MOSFET when its gate is driven high. The MOSFET voltage is compared to the voltage dropped across a  
resistor (RILIM) connected from VVDD to the ILIM pin when driven 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. This is illustrated in Figure 24.

Figure 24. Switching and Current-Limit Waveforms and Timing Relationship  
In addition, just prior to the high-side MOSFET turning on, the ILIM pin is pulled down to approximately half of  
VVDD. The ILIM pin is allowed to return to its nominal value after one of two events occurs. If the SW node rises  
to within approximately 2 V of VVDD, the device allows ILIM to go back to its nominal value. This is illustrated in  
Figure 24(A). T1 is the delay time from the internal PWM signal being asserted and the rise of SW. This includes  
a driver delay of 50 ns, typical. T2 is the reaction time of the sensing circuit that allows ILIM to start to return to  
its nominal value, typically 20 ns. 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 24(B) as T3. Here SW never rises to VVDD – 2 V, for  
whatever reason, and the internal timer times out, releasing the ILIM pin.  
Prior to ILIM starting back to its nominal value, overcurrent sensing is not enabled. In normal operation, this  
ensures that the SW node is at a higher voltage than ILIM when overcurrent 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 overcurrent  
threshold can be used to compensate for ringing on the SW node after its rising edge and to help compensate  
for slower-turnon FETs. Choosing the proper capacitance requires care. If the capacitance is too large, the  
voltage at ILIM does not approach the desired overcurrent level quickly enough, resulting in an apparent shift in  
overcurrent threshold as pulse duration changes. As a general rule, it is best to make the time constant of the  
R-C at the ILIM pin 0.2 times or less of the nominal pulse duration of the converter as shown in Equation 11.  
Also, the comparator that uses ILIM and SW to determine if an overcurrent 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 VVDD. When ILIM is more than 1.4 V below VVDD, the overcurrent circuit is  
effectively disabled.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)  
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 outputs are placed in a state  
defined in Table 2. 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 is still present, the counter counts seven overcurrent pulses  
and re-enters the second-tier fault mode. Refer to Figure 25 for typical fault-protection waveforms.  
The minimum short-circuit limit setpoint (ISCP(min)) depends on tSTART, COUT, VOUT, ripple current in the inductor

LOOP COMPENSATION  
Voltage-mode, buck-type converters are typically compensated using Type III networks. Because the TPS40077  
uses voltage feed-forward control, the gain of the voltage feed-forward circuit must be included in the PWM gain.  
The gain of the voltage feed-forward circuit, combined with the PWM circuit and power stage for the TPS40077  
is:  
KPWM VUVLO(on)  
The remainder of the loop compensation is performed as in a normal buck converter. Note that the voltage  
feed-forward circuitry removes the input voltage term from the expression for PWM gain. PWM gain is strictly a  
function of the programmed startup voltage.  
SHUTDOWN AND SEQUENCING  
The TPS40077 can be shut down by pulling the SS pin below 250 mV. In this state, both of the output drivers  
are in the low-output state, turning off both of the power FETs. This places the output of the converter in a  
high-impedance state. When shutting down the converter, a crisp pulldown of the SS pin is preferred to a slow  
pulldown. A slow pulldown could allow the output to be pulled low, possibly sinking current from the load. As a  
general rule of thumb, the fall time of SS when shutting down the converter should be no more than 1/10th of  
the control loop crossover frequency. An example of a shutdown interface is shown in Figure 26.

suggested.  
The LVBP pin must provide energy for both the synchronous MOSFET and the high-side MOSFET (via the

INTERNAL REGULATORS  
The internal regulators are linear regulators that provide controlled voltages from which the drivers and the  
internal circuitry operate. The DBP pin is connected to a nominal 8-V regulator that provides power for the driver  
circuits. This regulator has two modes of operation. At VDD voltages below 8.5 V, the regulator is in a  
low-dropout mode of operation and tries to provide as little impedance as possible from VDD to DBP. Above 10  
V at VDD, the regulator regulates DBP to 8 V. Between these two voltages, the regulator remains in the state it  
was in when VDD entered this region (see Figure 20). Small amounts of current can be drawn from this pin for  
other circuit functions, as long as power dissipation in the controller device remains at acceptable levels and  
junction temperature does not exceed 125°C.  
The LVBP pin is connected to another internal regulator that provides 4.2 V (nom) for the operation of  
low-voltage circuitry in the controller. This pin can be used for other circuit purposes, but extreme care must be  
taken to ensure that no extra noise is coupled onto this pin; otherwise, controller performance suffers. Current  
draw is not to exceed 1 mA. See Figure 21 for typical output voltage at this pin.  
TPS40077 POWER DISSIPATION  
The power dissipation in the TPS40077 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  
(neglecting external gate resistance) can be calculated from:  
PD = Qg × VDR × fSW

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)  
BOOST DIODE  
The TPS40077 series has internal diodes to charge the boost capacitor connected from SW to BOOST. The  
drop across these diodes is rather large, 1.4 V nominal, at room temperature. 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 FET, especially at lower input voltages.  
GROUNDING AND BOARD LAYOUT  
The TPS40077 provides separate signal ground (SGND) 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 SGND plane. The SGND  
plane should only make a single-point connection to the PGND plane. It is suggested that the SGND pin be tied  
to the copper area for the thermal pad underneath the chip. Tie the PGND to the thermal-pad copper area as  
well, and make the connection to the power circuit ground from the PGND pin. Reference the output voltage  
divider to the SGND 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 suboptimal operation. More detailed information can be found in the  
TPS40077EVM User's Guide (SLVU192).

Output Inductor, LOUT  
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 FET 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 (1) can  
be used to calculate a value for LOUT for this module which operates at a switching frequency (f) of 300 kHz.

IRIPPLE is the allowable ripple in the inductor. Select IRIPPLE to be between 20% and 30% of maximum IOUT. For  
this design, IRIPPLE of 2.5 A was selected. Calculated LOUT is 2.13 µH. A standard inductor with value of 2.5 µH  
was chosen. This will reduce IRIPPLE by about 17% to 2.07 A.  
This IRIPPLE value can be used calculate the rms and peak current flowing in LOUT. Note that this peak current is

Output Capacitor, COUT, 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 to meet the output ripple  
specification, VRIPPLE. The voltage rating must be greater than the maximum output voltage. Another parameter  
to consider is 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, COUT ELCO, is used to meet the overshoot and undershoot specifications. Its ESR is chosen to  
meet the output ripple specification. Smaller multiple-layer ceramic capacitors, COUT MLCC, are used to filter  
high-frequency noise.  
The minimum required capacitance and maximum ESR can be calculated using the following equations.

From Equation 21, Equation 22, and Equation 23, the capacitance for COUT should be greater than 444 µF, and  
its ESR should be less than 12 m. The 470-µF/6.3-V capacitor from Panasonic's FC series was chosen. Its  
ESR is 160 m. MLCCs of 47 µF and 22 µF/16 V are also added in parallel to achieve the required ESR and to  
reduce high-frequency noise.  
Input Capacitor, CIN ELCO and MLCC  
The input capacitor is selected to handle the ripple current of the buck stage. Also, a relatively large capacitance  
is used to keep the ripple voltage on the supply line low. This is especially important where the supply line has  
high impedance. It is recommended however, that the supply-line impedance be kept as low as possible.  
The input-capacitor ripple current can be calculated using Equation 24.

IIN(AVG) is the average input current. This is calculated simply by multiplying the output dc current by the duty  
cycle. The ripple current in the input capacitor is 3.3 A. An 1812 MLCC using X5R material has a typical  
dissipation factor of 5%. For a 22-µF capacitor at 300 kHz, the ESR is approximately 4 m. Two capacitors are  
used in parallel, so the power dissipation in each capacitor is less than 11 mW.  
A 470-µF/16-V electrolytic is added to maintain the voltage on the input rail.  
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 30 volts is recommended.  
Drain current, ID, at 25°C, must be greater than that calculated using Equation 25.

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 1.8-V output and 10 A, this equates to a power loss in  
the converter of 1.8 W. Based on this figure, a target of 0.6 W dissipated in the switching FET was chosen.  
The following equations can be used to calculate the power loss, PQSW, in the switching MOSFET.

QOSS(SW) = switching 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 27 and Equation 28  
yield 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 8 m. The sum of Qgd and Qgs  
should be approximately 4 nC.  
It may not always be possible to get a MOSFET which meets both these criteria, so a compromise may be  
necessary. Also, by selecting different MOSFETs close to these criteria and calculating power loss, the final  
selection can be made. It was found that the Si7860DP MOSFET from Vishay semiconductor gave reasonable  
results. This device has an RDS(on) of 8 mand a (Qgs1 + Qgd) of 5 nC. The estimated conduction losses are  
0.115 W and the switching losses are 0.276 W. This gives a total estimated power loss of 0.391 W versus 0.6 W  
for our initial boundary condition. Note this does not include gate losses of approximately 71 mW and output  
losses of 20 mW.  
Rectifier MOSFET, QSR  
Similar criteria to the foregoing can be used for the rectifier MOSFET. There is one significant difference: due to  
the body diode conducting, the rectifier MOSFET switches with zero voltage across its drain and source, so  
effectively with 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 turnoff to rectifier MOSFET  
turnon and vice-versa. The TPS40077 incorporates TI's proprietary Predictive Gate Drive circuitry (PGD), which  
helps reduce these delays to around 10 ns.  
The equations used to calculate the losses in the rectifier MOSFET are:

Estimating the body diode losses based on a forward voltage of 1 V gives 0.072 W. The gate losses are  
unknown at this time, so assume 0.1-W gate losses. This leaves 0.428 W for conduction losses. Using this  
figure, a target RDS(on) of 5 mwas calculated.  
The Si7336ADP from Vishay was chosen. Using the parameters from its data sheet, the actual expected power  
losses are calculated. Conduction loss is 0.317 W, body diode loss is 0.072 W, and the gate loss is 0.136W.  
This totals 0.525 W associated with the rectifier MOSFET.  
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 turnoff delay of the Si7336ADP is 97 ns. The minimum turnoff  
delay of the Si7860DP is 25 ns. Together these devices meet the 130-ns requirement.  
Secondly, the ratio between Cgs and Cgd should be greater than 1. The Si7336ADP easily meets this criterion.  
This helps reduce the risk of dv/dt-induced turnon 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 165 k. The nominal frequency using this resistor is 300 kHz.

A resistor connected to the KFF pin of the IC 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. This provides the voltage feed-forward feature of the TPS40077.  
The same resistor also sets the undervoltage lockout point. The input start voltage should be used to calculate a  
value for RKFF. For this module, the minimum input voltage is 8 V; however, due to tolerances in the IC, a start  
voltage of 10% less than the minimum input voltage is selected. The start voltage for RKFF calculation is 7.2 V.  
Using Equation 35, RKFF can be selected.

Soft-Start Capacitor, CSS  
It is good practice to limit the rise time of the output voltage. This helps prevent output overshoot and possible

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

Boost Voltage, CBOOST and DBOOST (Optional)  
To be able to drive an N-channel MOSFET in the switch location of a buck converter, a capacitor charge pump  
or boost circuit is required. The TPS40077 contains the elements for this boost circuit. The designer must only  
add a capacitor, CBOOST, from the switch node of the buck power stage to the BOOST pin of the IC. 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 0.2 V is assumed for this design. Using these two parameters and  
Equation 43, the minimum value for CBOOST can be calculated.

BOOST  
(43)  
The total gate charge of the switching MOSFET is 23 nC. A minimum CBOOST of 0.092 µF is required. A 0.1  
µF capacitor was chosen. This capacitor must be able to withstand the maximum input voltage plus the  
maximum voltage on DBP. This is 13.2 V plus 9.0 V, which is 22.2 V. A 50-V capacitor is used.  
To reduce losses in the TPS40077 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 IC. A small-signal Schottky diode  
should be used here, such as the BAT54.

A graphical method is used to select the compensation components. This is a standard feed-forward buck  
converter. Its PWM gain is given by Equation 44.

The ramp voltage is 1 V at the UVLO voltage. Because of the feed-forward compensation, the programmed  
UVLO voltage is the voltage that sets the PWM gain.  
The gain of the output LC filter is given by Equation 45.

To plot this on a Bode plot, the dc gain must be expressed in dB. The dc gain is equal to KPWM. To express  
this in dB, take its logarithm and multiply by 20. For this converter, the dc gain is

Also, the pole and zero frequencies should be calculated. A double pole is associated with the LC and a zero is  
associated with the ESR of the output capacitor. The frequencies where these occur can be calculated using

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 1/9 and 1/5 times the switching frequency, in  
order to have a phase margin greater than 45° and a gain margin greater than 6 dB.  
A type-III compensation network, shown in Figure 32, was used for this design. This network gives the best  
overall flexibility for compensating the converter.

Looking at the PWM and LC bode plot, there are a few things which must be done to achieve stability.  
1. Place two zeros close to the double pole, e.g., fZ1 = fZ2 = 4.3 kHz  
2. Place both poles well above the crossover frequency. The crossover frequency was selected as one sixth  
the switching frequency, fco1 = 50 kHz, fP1 = 66 kHz  
3. Place the second pole at three times fco1. This ensures that the overall system gain falls off quickly to give  
good gain margin, fp2 = 150 kHz  
4. The high-frequency gain should be sufficient to ensure 0 dB at the required crossover frequency, GAIN =  
–1 × gain of PWM and LC at the crossover frequency, GAIN = 16.9 dB  
Using these values and Equation 50 through Equation 55, the Rs and Cs around the compensation network can  
be calculated.  
1. Set RZ1 = 51 kΩ  
2. Calculate RSET using Equation 50, RSET = 32.4 kΩ  
3. Using Equation 54 and fz1 = 4.3 kHz, CPZ1 can be calculated to be 726 pF, CPZ1= 680 pF  
4. fP1 and Equation 52 yields RP1 to be a standard value of 3.3 k.

5. The required gain of 16.9 dB and Equation 51 sets the value for RPZ2. RPZ2 = 21.5 k.  
6. CZ2 is calculated using Equation 55 and the desired frequency for the second zero, CZ2 = 1.7 nF, or using  
standard values, 1.8 nF.  
7. Finally, CP2 is calculated using the second pole frequency and Equation 53; CP2 = 47 pF.  
Using these values, the simulated results are 57° of phase margin at 54 kHz.

complete. All products are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.  
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s  
standard warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this  
warranty. Except where mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily  
performed.  
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and  
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should  
provide adequate design and operating safeguards.  
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask  
work right, or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services  
are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such  
products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under  
the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.  
Reproduction of information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is  
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an  
unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation.  
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service  
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business  
practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.  
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would  
reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement  
specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications  
of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related  
requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any  
applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its  
representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are  
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military  
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is  
solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in  
connection with such use.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products  
are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any  
non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
