FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
TPS54678 device is a full featured 6 V, 6 A,  
synchronous step down current mode converter with  
two integrated MOSFETs.  
2
Two 12 mΩ (typical) MOSFETs for High  
Efficiency 6 A Continuous Output Current  
200 kHz to 2 MHz Switching Frequency  
TPS54678 enables small designs by integrating the  
MOSFETs, implementing current mode control to  
reduce external component count, reducing inductor  
size by enabling up to 2 MHz switching frequency,  
and minimizing the IC footprint with a small 3 mm x 3  
mm thermally enhanced QFN package.  
0.6 V ±1% Voltage Reference Over  
Temperature (-40°C to 150°C)  
Synchronizes to External Clock  
Start up with Pre-Biased Voltage  
Power Good Output  
TPS54678 provides accurate regulation for a variety  
of loads with an accurate ±1% Voltage Reference  
(VREF) over temperature.  
Adjustable Slow Start and Sequencing  
Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit and Hiccup  
Current Protection  
Efficiency is maximized through the integrated 12 mΩ  
MOSFETs. Using the enable pin, shutdown supply  
current is reduced by disabling the device.  
Adjustable Input Voltage UVLO  
Thermally Enhanced 16-Pin 3 mm x 3 mm QFN  
(RTE)  
The output voltage startup ramp is controlled by the  
soft start pin that can also be configured for  
sequencing or tracking. Monotonic startup is achieved  
with pre-biased voltage. Under voltage lockout can be  
increased by programming the threshold with a  
resistor divider on the enable pin. An open drain  
power good signal indicates the output is within 93%  
to 105% of its nominal voltage.

Overview  
The TPS54678 is a 6-V, 6-A, synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated n-channel MOSFETs.  
To improve the performance during line and load transients the device implements a constant frequency, peak  
current mode control which reduces output capacitance and simplifies external frequency compensation design.  
The wide switching frequency range of 200 kHz to 2000 kHz allows for efficiency and size optimization when  
selecting the output filter components. The switching frequency is adjusted using a resistor to ground on the  
RT/CLK pin. The device has an internal phase lock loop (PLL) on the RT/CLK pin that is used to synchronize the  
power switch turn on to a falling edge of an external system clock.  
The TPS54678 has a typical default start up voltage of 2.4 V. The EN pin has an internal pull-up current source  
that can be used to adjust the input voltage under voltage lockout (UVLO) with two external resistors. In addition,  
the pull up current provides a default condition when the EN pin is floating for the device to operate. The total  
operating current for the TPS54678 is typically 570 µA when not switching and under no load. When the device  
is disabled, the supply current is less than 3 µA.

The integrated 12 mΩ MOSFETs allow for high efficiency power supply designs with continuous output currents  
up to 6 amperes. The TPS54678 reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode.  
The bias voltage for the integrated high side MOSFET is supplied by a capacitor between the BOOT and PH  
pins. The boot capacitor voltage is monitored by an UVLO circuit and turns off the high side MOSFET when the  
voltage falls below a preset threshold. This BOOT circuit allows the TPS54678 to operate approaching 100%.  
The output voltage can be stepped down to as low as the 0.60 V reference.  
TPS54678 features monotonic startup under pre-bias conditions. The low side Fet turns on for a short time  
period every cycle before the output voltage reaches the pre-biased voltage. This ensures the boot cap has  
enough charge to turn on the top Fet when the output voltage reaches the pre-biased voltage.  
The TPS54678 has a power good comparator (PWRGD) with 2% hysteresis.  
The TPS54678 minimizes excessive output overvoltage transients by taking advantage of the overvoltage power  
good comparator. When the regulated output voltage is greater than 105% of the nominal voltage, the  
overvoltage comparator is activated, and the high side MOSFET is turned off and masked from turning on until  
the output voltage is lower than 103%.  
The SS/TR (slow start or tracking) pin is used to minimize inrush currents or provide power supply sequencing  
during power up. A small value capacitor should be coupled to the pin for slow start. The SS/TR pin is  
discharged before the output power up to ensure a repeatable restart after an overtemperature fault, UVLO fault  
or disabled condition. To optimize the output startup waveform, two levels of SS current are implemented.  
To reduce the power dissipation of TPS54678 during overcurrent event, the hiccup protection is implemented  
beyond the cycle-by-cycle protection.  
DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
Fixed Frequency PWM Control  
The TPS54678 uses a settable fixed frequency, peak current mode control. The output voltage is compared  
through external resistors on the VSENSE pin to an internal voltage reference by an error amplifier which drives  
the COMP pin. An internal oscillator initiates the turn on of the high side power switch. The error amplifier output  
is compared to the high side power switch current. When the power switch current reaches the COMP voltage  
level the high side power switch is turned off and the low side power switch is turned on. The COMP pin voltage  
will increase and decrease as the output current increases and decreases. The device implements a current limit  
by clamping the COMP pin voltage to a maximum level and implements a sleep mode with a minimum clamp.  
Slope Compensation and Output Current  
The TPS54678 adds a compensating ramp to the switch current signal. This slope compensation prevents sub-  
harmonic oscillations. The available peak inductor current maintains constant over the full duty cycle range.  
Bootstrap Voltage (BOOT) and Low Dropout Operation  
The TPS54678 has an integrated boot regulator and requires a small ceramic capacitor between the BOOT and  
PH pin to provide the gate drive voltage for the high side MOSFET. The value of the ceramic capacitor should be  
0.1 µF. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric is recommended because of the stable  
characteristics over temperature and voltage.  
To improve drop out, the TPS54678 is designed to operate at 100% duty cycle as long as the BOOT to PH pin  
voltage is greater than 2.2 V. The high side MOSFET is turned off using an UVLO circuit, allowing for the low  
side MOSFET to conduct, when the voltage from BOOT to PH drops below 2.2 V. Since the supply current  
sourced from the BOOT pin is low, the high side MOSFET can remain on for more switching cycles than are  
required to refresh the capacitor, thus the effective duty of the switching regulator is high.  
Error Amplifier  
The TPS54678 has a transconductance amplifier for the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the  
VSENSE voltage to the lower of the SS/TR pin voltage or the internal 0.6 V voltage reference. The  
transconductance of the error amplifier is 245 µA/V during normal operation. During the slow start operation, the  
transconductance is a fraction of the normal operating gm. The frequency compensation components are added  
to the COMP pin to ground.

Voltage Reference  
The voltage reference system produces a precise ±1% voltage reference over temperature by scaling the output  
of a temperature stable bandgap circuit. During production, the bandgap and scaling circuits are trimmed to  
produce 0.6 V at the amplifier output.  
Adjusting the Output Voltage  
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VSENSE pin. It is recommended to  
use 1% tolerance or better divider resistors. Start with a 20 KΩ for the R1 resistor and use the Equation 1 to  
calculate R2. To improve efficiency at light loads consider using larger value resistors. If the values are too high  
the regulator will be more susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VSENSE input current will be  
noticeable.

Enable and Set Up Adjusting Undervoltage Lockout  
The EN pin provides electrical on and off control of the device. Once the EN pin voltage exceeds the threshold  
voltage, the device starts operation. If the EN pin voltage is pulled below the threshold voltage, the regulator  
stops switching and enters low Iq state. If an application requires controlling the EN pin, use open drain or open  
collector output logic to interface with the pin.  
For input undervoltage lockout (UVLO), use the EN pin as shown in Figure 2 to set up the UVLO by using the  
two external resistors. Once the EN pin voltage exceeds 1.3 V, an additional 2.8 µA of hysteresis is added. This  
additional current facilitates input voltage hysteresis. Use Equation 2 to set the external hysteresis for the input  
voltage. Use Equation 3 to set the input startup voltage. It is recommended that the minimum input shutdown  
voltage be set at 2.45 V or higher to ensure proper operation before shutdown.

Slow Start or Tracking Pin (SS/TR)  
TPS54678 effectively uses the lower voltage of the internal voltage reference or the SS/TR pin voltage as the  
power supply’s reference voltage and regulates the output accordingly. A capacitor on the SS/TR pin to ground  
will implement a slow start time. The TPS54678 has an internal pull-up current source of 47 µA when V(SS/TR) is  
less than 0.15 V and 2.2 µA when V(SS/TR) is higher than 0.15 V. The ISS charges the external slow start  
capacitor. The equation for the slow start time is shown in Equation 4 considering the fact the first 47 µA charges  
the SS to 0.15 V. The 2.2 µA then charges the SS from 0.15 V to about 0.8 V for the handoff of the SS voltage to  
reference voltage.  
Css(nF) = 3 ´ Tss(mS)  
(4)  
If during normal operation, the VIN UVLO is exceeded, EN pin pulled below 1.2 V, or a thermal shutdown event  
occurs, the TPS54678 will stop switching and the SS/TR must be discharged to about 60 mV before reinitiating a  
powering up sequence.  
The VSENSE voltage will follow the SS/TR pin voltage up to 90% of the internal voltage reference. When the  
SS/TR voltage is greater than 90% of the internal voltage, the effective system reference voltage will transit from  
the SS/TR voltage to the internal voltage reference.  
Sequencing  
Many of the common power supply sequencing methods can be implemented using the SS/TR, EN and PWRGD  
pins. The sequential method can be implemented using an open drain or collector output of a power on reset pin  
of another device. The sequential method is illustrated in Figure 3. The power good is coupled to the EN pin on  
the TPS54678 which will enable the second power supply once the primary supply reaches regulation.

Constant Switching Frequency and Timing Resistor (RT/CLK Pin)  
The switching frequency of the TPS54678 is adjustable over a wide range from approximately 200 kHz to 2000  
kHz by placing a maximum of 210 kΩ and minimum of 18 kΩ, respectively, on the RT/CLK pin. The RT/CLK is  
typically 0.5 V. To determine the timing resistance for a given switching frequency, use the curve in Figure 4. To  
reduce the solution size one would typically set the switching frequency as high as possible, but tradeoffs of the  
supply efficiency, maximum input voltage and minimum controllable on time should be considered.

The minimum controllable on time is typically 85 ns at 3 A current load and 100 ns at no load, and will limit the  
maximum operating input voltage or output voltage.

Overcurrent Protection  
The TPS54678 implements current mode control which uses the COMP pin voltage to turn off the high side  
MOSFET and turn on the low side MOSFET on a cycle-by-cycle basis. Each cycle the switch current and the  
COMP pin voltage are compared, when the peak switch current intersects the COMP voltage the high side  
switch is turned off.  
High-Side Overcurrent Protection  
During overcurrent conditions that pull the output voltage low, the error amplifier will respond by driving the  
COMP pin high, increasing the switch current. The error amplifier output is clamped internally. This clamp  
functions as a high-side switch current limit. When the high-side switch current limit occurs consecutively for 512  
CLK cycles, the converter enters hiccup mode in which no switching action happens for about 16000 cycles. This  
helps to reduce the power consumption during an overcurrent event.  
Low-Side Overcurrent Protection  
The low-side MOSFET’s conduction current is also monitored by TPS54678. During normal operation, the low-  
side sources current into the load. When the sourcing current reaches the internally set low-side sourcing  
(forward) current limit, the high-side is not turned on and skipped during the next clock cycle. Under this  
condition, the low-side is kept on until the sourcing current becomes less than the internally set current limit and  
then the high-side is turned on at the beginning of the following clock cycle. This ensures protection under an  
output short condition; thereby, preventing current run-away.  
The low-side can also sink current from the load. If the low-side sinking (reverse) current limit is exceeded, the  
low-side is turned off immediately for the rest of the clock cycle. Under this condition, both the high-side and low-  
side are off until the start of the next cycle.  
Safe Start-Up into Pre-Biased Outputs  
The TPS54678 allows monotonic startup into pre-biased output. The low side Fet turns on for a short time period  
every cycle before the output voltage reaches the pre-biased voltage. This ensures the boot cap has enough  
charge to turn on the top Fet when the output voltage reaches the pre-biased voltage.  
The TPS54678 also implements low side current protection by detecting the voltage over the low side MOSFET.  
When the converter sinks current through the low side FET and if the current exceeds 4 A, the control circuit  
turns the low side Fet off. Due to the implemented prebias function, the low side Fet reverse current protection  
should not be reached, but it provides another layer of protection.

Synchronize using the RT/CLK pin  
The RT/CLK pin is used to synchronize the converter to an external system clock. See Figure 5. To implement  
the synchronization feature in a system connect a square wave to the RT/CLK pin with on time at least 75 ns.  
The square wave amplitude at this pin must transition lower than 0.6 V and higher than 1.6 V. The  
synchronization frequency range is 300 kHz to 2000 kHz. The rising edge of the PH will be synchronized to the  
falling edge of RT/CLK pin.

Power Good (PWRGD Pin)  
The PWRGD pin is an open drain output and pulls the PWRGD pin low when the VSENSE voltage is less than  
91% or greater than 105% of the nominal internal reference voltage.  
There is a 2% hysteresis, so once the VSENSE pin is within 93% to 103% of the internal voltage reference the  
PWRGD pin is de-asserted and the pin floats. It is recommended to use a pull-up resistor between the values of  
1 kΩ and 100 kΩ to a voltage source that is 5.5 V or less. The PWRGD is in a valid state once the VIN input  
voltage is greater than 1.2 V.  
Overvoltage Transient Protection  
The TPS54678 incorporates an overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) circuit to minimize voltage overshoot  
when recovering from output fault conditions or strong unload transients. The OVTP feature minimizes the output  
overshoot by implementing a circuit to compare the VSENSE pin voltage to OVTP threshold which is 105% of  
the internal voltage reference. If the VSENSE pin voltage is greater than the OVTP threshold, the high side  
MOSFET is disabled preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output overshoot. When the  
VSENSE voltage drops lower than the OVTP threshold the high side MOSFET is allowed to turn on the next  
clock cycle.  
Thermal Shutdown  
The device implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself if the junction temperature exceeds 170°C.  
The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds thermal trip  
threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below 155°C, the device reinitiates the power up sequence by  
discharging the SS/TR pin to about 60 mV. The thermal shutdown hysteresis is 15°C.  
Small Signal Model for Loop Response  
The Figure 6 shows an equivalent model for the TPS54678 control loop which can be modeled in a circuit  
simulation program to check frequency response and dynamic load response. The error amplifier is a  
transconductance amplifier with a gm of 245 µA/V. The error amplifier can be modeled using an ideal voltage  
controlled current source. The resistor RO and capacitor CO model the open loop gain and frequency response of  
the amplifier.

Simple Small Signal Model for Peak Current Mode Control  
Figure 6 is a simple small signal model that can be used to understand how to design the frequency  
compensation. The TPS54678 power stage can be approximated to a voltage controlled current source (duty  
cycle modulator) supplying current to the output capacitor and load resistor. The control to output transfer  
function is shown in Equation 6 and consists of a dc gain, one dominant pole and one ESR zero. The quotient of  
the change in switch current and the change in COMP pin voltage (node c in figure) is the power stage  
transconductance. The gm for the TPS54678 is 20 A/V. The low frequency gain of the power stage frequency  
response is the product of the transconductance and the load resistance as shown in Equation 7. As the load  
current increases and decreases, the low frequency gain decreases and increases, respectively. This variation  
with load may seem problematic at first glance, but fortunately the dominant pole moves with load current (see  
Equation 8). The combined effect is highlighted by the dashed line in the right half of Figure 7. As the load  
current decreases, the gain increases and the pole frequency lowers, keeping the 0-dB crossover frequency the  
same for the varying load conditions which makes it easier to design the frequency compensation.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
DESIGN GUIDE – STEP-BY-STEP DESIGN PROCEDURE  
This example details the design of a high frequency switching regulator design using ceramic output capacitors.  
This design is available as the TPS54678EVM-155 (PWR155) evaluation module (EVM). A few parameters must  
be known in order to start the design process. These parameters are typically determined at the system level.  
For this example, we start with the following known parameters:  
PARAMETER  
VALUE  
Output Voltage  
1.2V  
Transient Response 50% load step  
Maximum Output Current  
Input Voltage  
ΔVOUT < 5%  
6A  
3 V to 6 V, 5 V nominal  
< 30 mVPP  
500 kHz  
Output Voltage Ripple  
Switching Frequency (Fsw)  
Step by Step Design  
1. SELECTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY  
The first step is to decide on a switching frequency for the regulator. Typically, it is desirable to choose the  
highest switching frequency possible since this produces the smallest component solution size. The high  
switching frequency allows for lower value inductors and smaller output capacitors compared to a power  
supply that switches at a lower frequency. However, the higher switching frequency causes extra switching  
losses, which degrade the performance of the converter. This SWIFT™ converter is capable of running from  
200 kHz to 2 MHz. Unless a small solution size is the top priority, a moderate switching frequency of 500kHz  
is selected to achieve both a small solution size and high efficiency operation. Using Equation 13, RT is  
calculated to be 81.34 kΩ. A standard 1% 82.5 kΩ value was chosen for the design.

Where:  
– RT is in kΩ  
– FSW is in kHz  
2. OUTPUT INDUCTOR SELECTION  
The inductor selected works for the entire TPS54678 input voltage range. To calculate the value of the  
output inductor, use Equation 14. KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current  
relative to the maximum output current. The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output capacitor.  
Therefore, choosing high inductor ripple currents impacts the selection of the output capacitor since the  
output capacitor must have a ripple current rating equal to or greater than the inductor ripple current. In  
general, the inductor ripple value is at the discretion of the designer, however KIND is usually chosen between  
0.1 to 0.3 for the majority of applications.  
For this design example, a value of KIND = 0.3 was used at 6 VIN and 6 AOUT, and the inductor value is  
calculated to be 1.06 μH. For this design, the nearest standard value of 1.2 μH was chosen. For the output  
filter inductor, it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The RMS  
and peak inductor current can be found from Equation 16 and Equation 17.  
For this design, the RMS inductor current is 6.02 A and the peak inductor current is 6.8 A. The chosen  
inductor is a Coilcraft XAL5030-122ME. It has a saturation current rating 0f 11.8 A (20% inductance loss)  
and a RMS current rating of 8.7 A (20°C temperature rise). The series resistance is 6.78 mΩ typical.  
The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus the output current. During power  
up, faults or transient load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the calculated peak inductor  
current level calculated above. In transient conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the switch  
current limit of the device. For this reason, the most conservative approach is to specify an inductor with a  
saturation current rating equal to or greater than the switch current limit rather than the peak inductor current.

3. OUTPUT CAPACITOR  
There are three primary considerations for selecting the value of the output capacitor. Along with the  
inductor, the output capacitor determines the output voltage ripple, and also how the regulator responds to a  
large change in load current. The output capacitance needs to be selected based on the more stringent of  
these two criteria.  
The desired response to a large change in the load current is the first criteria. The output capacitor needs to  
supply the load with current when the regulator can not due to limited control speed. The regulator is  
temporarily not able to supply sufficient change in output current if there is a large, fast increase or decrease  
in the current needs of the load such as transitioning from no load to full load. The regulator usually needs  
two or more clock cycles for the control loop to see the change in load current and output voltage and adjust  
the duty cycle to react to the change. The output capacitor must be sized to supply the extra current to the  
load until the control loop responds to the load change, or conversely, absorb the excess current from the  
inductor. Since the output voltage is less than half the input voltage, the worst case deviation in output  
voltage occurs when the load has an extremely rapid reduction in current, or a load dump. The desired  
specification is a 50% or 3A load step, and a resulting voltage deviation of no more than 5%, or 60mV. When  
a load dump occurs, the excess stored current in the inductor will tend to charge the output capacitors, and  
the best the converter can achieve to limit the increase in output voltage is to fold back the duty cycle to  
zero. Under these circumstances, the amount of rise in output voltage is defined by the energy from the  
choke being fully absorbed by the capacitor bank. Equation 18 through Equation 20 can be used to calculate  
the required capacitor bank value.  
For this example, the transient load response is specified as a 5% change in Vout for a 50% load step from 3  
A to 0 A. So, ΔIOUT = 3 A and ΔVOUT = 0.05 × 1.2 = 0.06 V. Using these numbers gives a minimum  
capacitance of 73.2 μF. This calculation does not take the ESR of the output capacitor into account in the  
output voltage change, and it does not account for latency in control loop speed. For ceramic capacitors, the  
ESR is usually small enough to ignore in this calculation.

This 73.17 µF defines the minimum capacitance required to meet the transient spec, however, since the  
control loop speed is finite, more capacitance than this will be required to meet desired performance.  
Equation 21 calculates the minimum output capacitance needed to meet the output voltage ripple  
specification. Where FSW is the switching frequency, VRIPPLE is the maximum allowable output voltage ripple,  
and Iripple is the inductor ripple current. In this case, the maximum output voltage ripple is 60 mV. Under this  
requirement, Equation 21 yields 13.33 µF.

Equation 22 calculates the maximum ESR for the capacitor bank to meet the output voltage ripple

Additional capacitance de-ratings for aging, temperature and DC bias should be factored in which increases  
the minimum value calculated in Equation 20. For this example, five 47 μF 10 V X5R ceramic capacitors with  
3 mΩ of ESR are used. The estimated capacitance after derating is 5 x 47 μF x 0.9 = 211.5 μF.  
4. INPUT CAPACITOR  
The TPS54678 requires a high quality ceramic, type X5R or X7R, input decoupling capacitor of at least 10  
μF of effective capacitance and in some applications a bulk capacitance. The effective capacitance includes  
any DC bias effects. The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be greater than the maximum input  
voltage. The capacitor must also have a ripple current rating greater than the maximum input current ripple of  
the TPS54678. The input ripple current can be calculated using Equation 23.

The value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of DC bias applied to  
the capacitor. The capacitance variations due to temperature can be minimized by selecting a dielectric  
material that is stable over temperature. X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics are usually selected for power  
regulator capacitors because they have a high capacitance to volume ratio and are fairly stable over  
temperature. The output capacitor must also be selected with the DC bias taken into account. The  
capacitance value of a capacitor decreases as the DC bias across a capacitor increases.  
For this example design, a ceramic capacitor with at least a 10V voltage rating is required to support the  
maximum input voltage. For this example, three 47 μF and one 0.1 μF 10 V capacitors in parallel have been  
selected. In addition to these low ESR capacitors, an input bulk cap of 220 µF electrolytic is included so as to  
provide low source impedance at low frequencies for instances where the input voltage source is connected  
with a lossy feed.  
The input capacitance value determines the input ripple voltage of the regulator. The input voltage ripple can  
be calculated using Equation 24. Using the design example values, IOUT_MAX = 6 A, CIN = 141 μF (neglecting  
the electrolytic due to high ESR), FSW = 500 kHz, yields an input voltage ripple of 21.3 mV and an rms input  
ripple current of 2.94 A.

5. SLOW START CAPACITOR  
The slow start capacitor determines the minimum amount of time it takes for the output voltage to reach the  
nominal programmed value during power up. This is useful if a load requires a controlled voltage slew rate.  
This is also used if the output capacitance is very large and would require large amounts of current to quickly  
charge the capacitor to the output voltage level. The large currents necessary to charge the capacitor may  
cause the TPS54678 to trip OCP, or excessive current draw from the input power supply may cause the  
input voltage rail to sag. Limiting the output voltage slew rate mitigates both of these issues.  
The slow start capacitor value can be calculated using Equation 25. For the example circuit, the slow start  
time is not critical since the output capacitor value is 5 x 47 μF which does not require much current to  
charge to 1.2 V. The example circuit has the slow start time set to an arbitrary value of 3.33 ms which  
requires a 10nF capacitor.

A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the BOOT and PH pins for proper operation. It is  
recommended to use a ceramic capacitor with X5R or better grade dielectric. The capacitor should have 10

Due to the internal design of the TPS54678, there is a minimum output voltage limit for any given input  
voltage. The output voltage can never be lower than the internal voltage reference of 0.6 V. Above 0.6 V, the  
output voltage may be limited by the minimum controllable on time. The minimum output voltage in this case

8. COMPENSATION  
There are several possible methods to design closed loop compensation for dc/dc converters. For the ideal  
current mode control, the design equations can be easily simplified. The power stage gain is constant at low  
frequencies, and rolls off at –20 dB/decade above the modulator pole frequency. The power stage phase is 0  
degrees at low frequencies and starts to fall one decade below the modulator pole frequency reaching a  
minimum of –90 degrees one decade above the modulator pole frequency. In this case the modulator pole is  
a simple pole shown in Equation 29.

For the TPS54678 most circuits will have relatively high amounts of slope compensation. As more slope  
compensation is applied, the power stage characteristics will deviate from the ideal approximations. The phase  
loss of the power stage will extend beyond –90 degrees and can approach –180 degrees, making compensation  
more difficult. The power stage transfer function can be solved but it is a tedious hand calculation that does not  
lend itself to simple approximations. It is easier to either simulate the circuit or to actually measure the plant  
transfer function so that a reliable compensation circuit can be designed. The latter technique used in this design  
procedure. The power stage plant was measured and is shown below in Figure 29.

For this design, the desired crossover frequency Fc is 50 kHz. From the power stage gain and phase plot above,  
the gain at 50 kHz is -10.6 dB and the phase is –123.3 degrees. Since the plant phase loss is greater than -90  
degrees, to achieve at least 60 degrees of phase margin, additional phase boost from a feed forward capacitor in  
parallel with the upper resistor of the voltage set point divider is required.  
See the Schematic in Figure 47. R3 sets the gain of the compensated error amplifier to be equal and opposite (in  
dB) to the power stage gain at Fc, so +10.6 dB is needed. The required value of R3 can be calculated from  
Equation 30.

This zero and pole pair is not independent since R9 and R10 are set by the desired VOUT. Once the zero location  
is chosen, the pole is fixed as well. For optimum performance, the zero and pole should be located symmetrically

POWER DISSIPATION ESTIMATE  
The following formulas show how to estimate the IC power dissipation under continuous conduction mode (CCM)  
operation. The power dissipation of the IC (Ptot) includes conduction loss (Pcon), dead time loss (Pd), switching  
loss (Psw), gate drive loss (Pgd) and supply current loss (Pq).  
Pcon = IO2 × RDS(on) (temperature dependent)  
Pd = ƒsw × IO × 0.7 × (20 nS + 20 nS)  
Psw = 0.5 × VIN × IO × ƒsw× 7 × 10–9  
Pgd = 2 × VIN × ƒsw× 6 × 10–9  
Pq = VIN × 500 × 10–6  
Where:  
IO is the output current (A).  
RDS(on) is the on-resistance of the high-side MOSFET with given temperature ().  
VIN is the input voltage (V).  
ƒsw is the switching frequency (Hz).  
So  
Ptot = Pcon + Pd + Psw + Pgd + Pq  
For given TA,  
TJ = TA + Rth × Ptot  
For given TJ max = 150°C  
TA max = TJ max – Rth × Ptot  
Where:  
Ptot is the total device power dissipation (W).  
TA is the ambient temperature (°C).  
TJ is the junction temperature (°C).  
Rth is the thermal resistance of the package (°C/W).  
TJ max is maximum junction temperature (°C).  
TA max is maximum ambient temperature (°C).  
There are additional power losses in the regulator circuit due to the inductor AC and DC losses and trace  
resistance that impact the overall efficiency of the regulator.  
LAYOUT  
Component placement and copper layout are two of the most critical portions of good power supply design.  
Unfortunately, these two design parameters do not show up in the schematic, so proper layout rules must be  
described and followed. There are several signal paths that conduct fast changing currents or voltages that can  
interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise or degrade the power supply's  
performance. Care should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections and  
the VIN pins. See Figure 46 for a PCB layout example. The GND pins and AGND pin should be tied directly to  
the power pad under the IC. The power pad should be connected to any internal PCB ground planes using  
multiple vias directly under the IC. Additional vias can be used to connect the top side ground area to the internal  
planes near the input and output capacitors. For operation at full rated load, the top side ground area along with  
any additional internal ground planes must provide adequate heat dissipating area.  
Locate the input bypass capacitor as close to the IC as possible. The PH pin should be routed to the output  
inductor. Since the PH connection is the switching node, the output inductor should be located close to the PH  
pins, and the area of the PCB conductor minimized to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. The boot capacitor  
must also be located close to the device. The sensitive analog ground connections for the feedback voltage  
divider, compensation components, slow start capacitor and frequency set resistor should be connected to a

separate analog ground trace as shown. The RT/CLK pin is particularly sensitive to noise so the RT resistor  
should be located as close as possible to the IC and routed with minimal trace lengths. The additional external  
components can be placed approximately as shown. It may be possible to obtain acceptable performance with  
alternate PCB layout; however, this layout has been shown to produce good results and is intended as a  
guideline.
