AGND  
I/O(1)  
I/O  
G
DESCRIPTION  
Supply rail for the high-side gate driver (boost terminal). Connect the bootstrap  
capacitor from this pin to SW node.  
1
2
Ground pin. Reference point for the internal control circuits.  
Current limit setting pin. Connect a resistor to AGND to set the current limit trip  
point. ±1% tolerance resistor is highly recommended. See 7.3.9 for details on  
OCL setting.  
3
4
TRIP  
I/O  
I
The MODE pin sets the forced continuous-conduction mode (FCCM) or skip-  
mode operation. It also selects the operating frequency by connecting a resistor  
from MODE pin to AGND pin. ±1% tolerance resistor is recommended. See 表  
7-1 for details.  
MODE  
Dual-function pin. Soft-start function: Connecting a capacitor to VSNSpin  
programs soft-start time. Minimum soft-start time (1.5 ms) is fixed internally. A  
minimum 1-nF capacitor is required for this pin to avoid overshoot during the  
charge of soft-start capacitor. REFIN function: The device always looks at the  
voltage on this SS/REFIN pin as the reference for the control loop. The internal  
reference voltage can be overridden by an external DC voltage source on this pin  
for tracking application.  
5
SS/REFIN  
I/O  
The return connection for a remote voltage sensing configuration. It is also used  
as ground for the internal reference. Short to AGND for single-end sense  
configuration.  
6
7
I
I
VSNS–  
Output voltage feedback input. A resistor divider from the VOUT to VSNS–  
(tapped to FB pin) sets the output voltage.  
FB  
Enable pin. The enable pin turns the DC/DC switching converter on or off.  
Floating EN pin before start-up disables the converter. The recommended  
operating condition for EN pin is maximum 5.5-V. Do not connect EN pin to VIN  
pin directly.  
8
9
EN  
I
Open-drain power-good status signal. When the FB voltage moves outside the  
specified limits, PGOOD goes low after 2-µs delay.

NAME  
I/O(1)  
DESCRIPTION  
Power-supply input pins for both integrated power MOSFET pair and the internal  
LDO. Place the decoupling input capacitors from VIN pins to PGND pins as close  
as possible.  
VIN  
P
Power ground of internal low-side MOSFET. At least six PGND vias are required  
to be placed as close as possible to the PGND pins. This minimizes parasitic  
impedance and also lowers thermal resistance.  
11, 12, 13, 14,  
15, 16, 17, 18  
PGND  
G
Internal 3-V LDO output. An external bias with 3.3-V or higher voltage can be  
connected to this pin to save the power losses on the internal LDO. The voltage  
source on this pin powers both the internal circuitry and gate driver. Requires a  
2.2-µF, at least 6.3-V, rating ceramic capacitor from VCC pin to PGND pins as the  
decoupling capacitor and the placement is required to be as close as possible.

7 Detailed Description  
7.1 Overview  
The TPS54JB20 device is a high-efficiency, single-channel, small-sized, synchronous-buck converter. The  
device suits low output voltage point-of-load applications with 20-A or lower output current in server, storage, and  
similar computing applications. The TPS54JB20 features proprietary D-CAP3 mode control combined with  
adaptive on-time architecture. This combination builds modern low-duty-ratio and ultra-fast load-step-response  
DC/DC converters in an ideal fashion. The output voltage ranges from 0.9-V to 5.5-V. The conversion input  
voltage ranges from 2.7-V to 16-V, and the VCC input voltage ranges from 3.13-V to 3.6-V. The D-CAP3 mode  
uses emulated current information to control the modulation. An advantage of this control scheme is that it does  
not require a phase-compensation network outside which makes the device easy-to-use and also allows low  
external component count. Another advantage of this control scheme is that it supports stable operation with all  
low ESR output capacitors (such as ceramic capacitor and low ESR polymer capacitor). Adaptive on-time control  
tracks the preset switching frequency over a wide range of input and output voltages while increasing switching  
frequency as needed during load-step transient.

7.3 Feature Description  
7.3.1 Internal VCC LDO And Using External Bias On VCC Pin  
The TPS54JB20 has an internal 3-V LDO featuring input from VIN and output to VCC. When the EN voltage  
rises above the enable threshold (typically 1.22 V), the internal LDO is enabled and starts regulating output  
voltage on the VCC pin. The VCC voltage provides the bias voltage for the internal analog circuitry and also  
provides the supply voltage for the gate drives.  
The VCC pin needs to be bypassed with a 2.2-µF, at least 6.3-V rating ceramic capacitor. An external bias that is  
above the output voltage of the internal LDO can override the internal LDO. This enhances the efficiency of the  
converter because the VCC current now runs off this external bias instead of the internal linear regulator.  
The VCC UVLO circuit monitors the VCC pin voltage and disables the whole converter when VCC falls below the  
VCC UVLO falling threshold. Maintaining a stable and clean VCC voltage is required for a smooth operation of  
the device.  
Considerations when using an external bias on the VCC pin are as follows:  
When the external bias is applied on the VCC pin early enough (for example, before EN signal comes in), the  
internal LDO will be always forced off and the internal analog circuits will have a stable power supply rail at  
their power enable.  
(Not recommended) When the external bias is applied on the VCC pin late (for example, after EN signal  
comes in), any power-up and power-down sequencing can be applied as long as there is no excess current  
pulled out of the VCC pin. It is important to understand that an external discharge path on the VCC pin, which  
can pull a current higher than the current limit of the internal LDO from the VCC pin, can potentially turn off  
VCC LDO, thereby shutting down the converter output.  
A good power-up sequence is when at least one of VIN UVLO rising threshold or EN rising threshold is  
satisfied later than VCC UVLO rising threshold. For example, a practical power-up sequence is: VIN applied  
first, then the external bias applied, and then EN signal goes high.  
7.3.2 Enable  
When the EN pin voltage rises above the enable threshold voltage (typically 1.22 V) and VIN rises above the VIN  
UVLO rising threshold, the device enters its internal power-up sequence. The EN to first switching delay is  
specified in Start-up Section in Electrical Characteristics table.  
When using the internal VCC LDO, the internal power-up sequence includes three sequential steps. During the  
first period, the VCC voltage is charged up on a VCC bypass capacitor by an 11-mA current source. The length  
of this VCC LDO start-up time varies with the capacitance on VCC pin. However, if VIN voltage ramps up very  
slowly, the VCC LDO output voltage will be limited by the VIN voltage level, thus the VCC LDO start-up time can  
be extended longer. Since the VCC LDO start-up time is relatively long, the internal VINTREF build-up happens  
and finishes during this period. Once the VCC voltage crosses above VCC UVLO rising threshold (typically 2.87  
V), the device moves to the second step, power-on delay. The MODE pin setting detection, SS/REFIN pin  
detection, and control loop initialization are finished within this 285-μs delay. Soft-start ramp starts when the  
285-μs power-on delay finishes. During the soft-start ramp power stage, switching does not happen until the  
SS/REFIN pin voltage reaches 50 mV. This introduces a SS delay that varies with the external capacitance on  
SS/REFIN pin.  
7-1 shows an example where the VIN UVLO rising threshold is satisfied earlier than the EN rising threshold.  
In this scenario, the VCC UVLO rising threshold becomes the gating signal to start the internal power-up  
sequence, and the sequence between VIN and EN does not matter.  
When using an external bias on VCC pin, the internal power-up sequence still includes three sequential steps.  
The first period is much shorter since VCC voltage is built up already. A 100-µs period allows the internal  
references to start up and reach regulation points. This 100-µs period includes not only the 0.9-V VINTREF, but  
also all of the other reference voltages for various functions. The device then moves to the second step, power-  
on delay. The MODE pin setting detection, SS/REFIN pin detection, and control loop initialization are finished  
within this 285-μs delay. Soft-start ramp starts when the 285-μs power-on delay finishes. During the soft-start

ramp power stage, switching does not happen until the SS/REFIN pin voltage reaches 50 mV. This introduces a  
SS delay that varies with the external capacitance on SS/REFIN pin.  
7-2 shows an example where the VIN UVLO rising threshold and EN rising threshold are satisfied later than  
the VCC UVLO rising threshold. In this scenario, the VIN UVLO rising threshold or EN rising threshold, whoever  
is satisfied later, becomes the gating signal to start the internal power-up sequence.

7-2. Internal Power-up Sequence Using External Bias  
The EN pin has an internal filter to avoid unexpected ON or OFF due to small glitches. The time constant of this  
RC filter is 5 µs. For example, when applying 3.3-V voltage source on the EN pin that jumps from 0 V to 3.3 V  
with an ideal rising edge, the internal EN signal will reach 2.086 V after 5 µs, which is 63.2% of applied 3.3-V  
voltage level.  
A internal pulldown resistor is implemented between the EN pin and AGND pin. To avoid impact to the EN rising/  
falling threshold, this internal pulldown resistor is set to 6.5 MΩ. With this pulldown resistor, floating EN pin  
before start-up keeps the TPS54JB20 device under disabled state. During nominal operation when the power  
stage switches, this large internal pulldown resistor may not have enough noise immunity to hold EN pin low.  
The recommended operating condition for EN pin is maximum 5.5 V. Do not connect the EN pin to the VIN pin  
directly.

7.3.3 Output Voltage Setting  
The output voltage is programmed by the voltage-divider resistors, RFB_HS and RFB_LS. Connect RFB_HS between  
the FB pin and the positive node of the load, and connect RFB_LS between the FB pin and VSNSpin. The  
recommended RFB_LS value is 10 kΩ, ranging from 1 kΩ to 20 kΩ. Determine RFB_HS by using 方程式 1.

=
ìRFB _LS

INTREF  
(1)  
The FB accuracy is determined by two elements. The first element is the accuracy of the internal 900-mV  
reference, which will be applied to SS/REFIN pin unless an external VREF is applied. The TPS54JB20 device  
offers ±0.5% VINTREF accuracy from 0°C to 85°C temperature range, and ±1.0% VINTREF accuracy from 40°C  
to 125°C temperature range. The second element is the SS/REFIN-to-FB accuracy which tells how accurately  
the control loop regulates FB node to SS/REFIN pin. The TPS54JB20 device offers ±0.6% SS/REFIN-to-FB  
accuracy from 40°C to 125°C temperature range. For example, when operating from a 0°C to 85°C  
temperature range, the total FB accuracy is ±1.1% which includes the impact from chip junction temperature and  
also the variation from part to part.  
To improve the overall VOUT accuracy, using a ±1% accuracy or better resistor for the FB voltage divider is highly  
recommended.  
Regardless of remote sensing or single-end sensing connection, the FB voltage divider, RFB_HS and RFB_LS  
should be always placed as close as possible to the device.  
,
7.3.3.1 Remote Sense  
The TPS54JB20 device offers remote sense function through FB and VSNSpins. Remote sense function  
compensates a potential voltage drop on the PCB traces thus helps maintain VOUT tolerance under steady state  
operation and load transient event. Connecting the FB voltage divider resistors to the remote location allows  
sensing to the output voltage at a remote location. The connections from the FB voltage divider resistors to the  
remote location should be a pair of PCB traces with at least 12-mil trace width, and should implement Kelvin  
sensing across a high bypass capacitor of 0.1 μF or higher. The ground connection of the remote sensing  
signal must be connected to the VSNSpin. The VOUT connection of the remote sensing signal must be  
connected to the feedback resistor divider with the lower feedback resistor, RFB_LS, terminated at VSNSpin.  
To maintain stable output voltage and minimize the ripple, the pair of remote sensing lines should stay away from  
any noise sources such as inductor and SW nodes, or high frequency clock lines. It is recommended to shield  
the pair of remote sensing lines with ground planes above and below.  
Single-ended Vo sensing is often used for local sensing. For this configuration, connect the higher FB resistor,  
RFB_HS, to a high-frequency local bypass capacitor of 0.1 μF or higher, and short VSNSto AGND.  
The recommended VSNSoperating range (refer to AGND pin) is 50 mV to +50 mV.  
7.3.4 Internal Fixed Soft Start and External Adjustable Soft Start  
The TPS54JB20 implements a circuit to allow both internal fixed soft start and external adjustable soft start. The  
internal soft-start time is typically 1.5 ms. The soft-start time can be increased by adding a soft-start (SS)  
capacitor between the SS/REFIN and VSNS- pins. The total SS capacitor value can be determined by Equation  
2. The device follows the longer SS ramp among the internal SS time and the SS time determined by the  
external SS capacitors. The recommended maximum SS capacitor is 1 µF. A minimum 1-nF SS capacitor is  
required.  
The device does not require a capacitor from SS/REFIN pin to AGND, thus it is not recommenced to place a  
capacitor from the SS/REFIN pin to AGND. If both CSS/REFIN-to-VSNSand CSS/REFIN-to-AGND capacitors

ZHCSMS1B JULY 2020 REVISED NOVEMBER 2020  
www.ti.com.cn  
The TPS54JB20 provides an analog input pin (SS/REFIN) to accept an external reference. When an external  
voltage signal is applied between SS/REFIN pin and VSNS- pin, it acts as the reference voltage thus FB voltage  
follows this external voltage signal exactly. Apply this external reference to SS/REFIN pin before the EN high  
signal is recommended. The external reference must be equal to or higher than the internal reference level to  
ensure correct Power Good thresholds during soft start.  
With an external reference applied, the internal fixed soft-start controls output voltage ramp during start-up. After  
soft start finishes, the external voltage signal can be in a range of 0.5 V to 1.2 V.  
When driving the SS/REFIN pin with an external resistor divider, the resistance should be low enough so that the  
external voltage source can overdrive the internal current source.  
7.3.5 External REFIN For Output Voltage Tracking  
The TPS54JB20 provides an analog input pin (SS/REFIN) to accept an external reference (that is a DC voltage  
source). The device always looks at the voltage on this SS/REFIN pin as the reference for the control loop.  
When an external voltage reference is applied between the SS/REFIN pin and VSNSpin, it acts as the  
reference voltage thus FB voltage follows this external voltage reference exactly. The same ±0.6% SS/REFIN-to-  
FB accuracy from -40°C to 125°C temperature range applies here too.  
In the middle of internal power-on delay, a detection circuit senses the voltage on the SS/REFIN pin to tell  
whether an active DC voltage source is applied. Before the detection happens, the SS/REFIN pin tries to  
discharge any energy on SS/REFIN capacitors through an internal 120-Ω resistor to AGND. This discharge lasts  
for 125 µs. Then, within a 32-µs window, the detection circuit compares the SS/REFIN pin voltage with an  
internal reference equal to 89% of VINTREF. This discharge operation ensure a SS capacitor with left-over energy  
will not be wrongly detected as a voltage reference. If the external voltage reference failed to supply sufficient  
current and hold voltage level higher than 89% of VINTREF, the SS/REFIN detection circuit will provide wrong  
detection result.  
If the detection result is that SS/REFIN pin voltage falls below 89% of VINTREF which tells no external reference is  
connected, the device first uses the internal fixed VINTREF as the reference for PGOOD, VOUT OVP, and VOUT  
UVP threshold. On this configuration, given SS/REFIN pin sees a soft-start ramp on this pin, the slower ramp  
among the internal fixed soft start and the external soft start determines the start-up of FB. Once both the  
internal and external soft-start ramp finishes, the power-good signal becomes high after a 1.06-ms internal delay.  
The whole internal soft-start ramp takes 2 ms to finish. The external soft-start done signal goes high when FB  
reaches threshold equal to VINTREF 50 mV. The device waits for the PGOOD status transition from low to high,  
then starts using the SS/REFIN pin voltage, instead of the internal VINTREF as the reference for PGOOD, VOUT  
OVP, and VOUT UVP threshold.  
If the detection result is that SS/REFIN pin voltage holds higher than 89% of VINTREF which tells an active DC  
voltage source is used as an external reference, the device always uses the SS/REFIN pin voltage instead of the  
internal VINTREF as the reference for PGOOD, VOUT OVP, and VOUT UVP threshold. On this configuration, since  
the SS/REFIN pin sees a DC voltage and no soft-start ramp on this pin, the internal fixed soft start is used for  
start-up. Once the internal soft-start ramp finishes, the power-good signal becomes high after a 1.06-ms internal  
delay. The whole internal soft-start ramp takes 2 ms to finish because the soft-start ramp goes beyond VINTREF  
.
On this external REFIN configuration, applying a stabilized DC external reference to the SS/REFIN pin before  
EN high signal is recommended. During the internal power-on delay, the external reference should be capable of  
holding the SS/REFIN pin equal to or higher than 89% of VINTREF, so that the device can correctly detect the  
external reference and choose the right thresholds for power good, VOUT OVP, and VOUT UVP. After the power  
good status transits from low to high, the external reference can be set in a range of 0.5 V to 1.2 V. To overdrive  
the SS/REFIN pin during nominal operation, the external reference has to be able to sink more than 36-µA  
current if the external reference is lower than the internal VINTREF, or source more than 12-µA current if the  
external reference is higher than the internal VINTREF. When driving the SS/REFIN pin by an external reference  
through a resistor divider, the resistance of the divider should be low enough to provide the sinking, or sourcing  
current capability.

The configuration of applying EN high signal first, then applying an external ramp on the SS/REFIN pin as a  
tracking reference can be achieved, as long as design considerations for power good, VOUT OVP, and VOUT UVP  
have been taken. Please contact Texas Instruments for detailed information about this configuration.  
If the external voltage source must transition up and down between any two voltage levels, the slew rate must be  
no more than 1 mV/μs.  
7.3.6 Frequency and Operation Mode Selection  
The TPS54JB20 provides forced CCM operation for tight output ripple application and auto-skip Eco-mode for  
high light-load efficiency. The TPS54JB20 allows users to select the switching frequency and operation mode by  
connecting a resistor from the MODE pin to AGND pin. 7-1 lists the resistor values for the switching frequency  
and operation mode selection. TI recommends ±1% tolerance resistors with a typical temperature coefficient of  
±100 ppm/°C.  
The MODE state will be set and latched during the internal power-on delay period. Changing the MODE pin  
resistance after the power-on delay will not change the status of the device. The internal circuit will set the  
MODE pin status to 600 kHz / skip-mode if MODE pin is left open during the power-on delay period.  
To make sure the internal circuit detects the desired option correctly, do not place any capacitor on the MODE  
pin.

7.3.7 D-CAP3 Control  
The TPS54JB20 uses D-CAP3 mode control to achieve the fast load transient while maintaining the ease-of-use  
feature. The D-CAP3 control architecture includes an internal ripple generation network enabling the use of very  
low-ESR output capacitors such as multi-layered ceramic capacitors (MLCC) and low ESR polymer capacitors.  
No external current sensing network or voltage compensators are required with D-CAP3 control architecture.  
The role of the internal ripple generation network is to emulate the ripple component of the inductor current  
information and then combine it with the voltage feedback signal to regulate the loop operation. The amplitude of  
the ramp is determined by VIN, VOUT, operating frequency, and the R-C time-constant of the internal ramp circuit.  
At different switching frequency settings (see 7-1), the R-C time-constant varies to maintain relatively constant  
ramp amplitude. Also, the device uses internal circuitry to cancel the dc offset caused by injected ramp, and  
significantly reduces the dc offset caused by the output ripple voltage, especially under light load condition.  
For any control topologies supporting no external compensation design, there is a minimum range, maximum  
range, or both, of the output filter it can support. The output filter used with the TPS54JB20 is a low-pass L-C  
circuit. This L-C filter has double pole that is described in Equation 3.

generation network introduces a high-frequency zero that reduces the gain roll off from 40 dB to 20 dB per  
decade and increases the phase by 90 degrees per decade above the zero frequency.  
After identifying the application requirements, the output inductance should be designed so that the inductor  
peak-to-peak ripple current is approximately between 15% and 40% of the maximum output current.  
The inductor and capacitor selected for the output filter must be such that the double pole of Equation 3 is  
located no higher than 1/30th of operating frequency. Choose very small output capacitance leads to relative  
high frequency L-C double pole which allows that overall loop gain stays high until the L-C double frequency.  
Given the zero from the internal ripple generation network is relative high frequency as well, the loop with very  
small output capacitance may have too high crossover frequency which is not desired. Use 7-2 to help locate  
the internal zero based on the selected switching frequency.

In general, where reasonable (or smaller) output capacitance is desired, output ripple requirement and load  
transient requirement can be used to determine the necessary output capacitance for stable operation.  
For the maximum output capacitance recommendation, select the inductor and capacitor values so that the L-C  
double pole frequency is no less than 1/100th of operating frequency. With this starting point, verify the small  
signal response on the board using the following one criteria:  
Phase margin at the loop crossover is greater than 50 degrees  
The actual maximum output capacitance can go higher as long as phase margin is greater than 50 degrees.  
However, small signal measurement (bode plot) should be done to confirm the design.  
If MLCC is used, consider the derating characteristics to determine the final output capacitance for the design.  
For example, when using an MLCC with specifications of 10 µF, X5R and 6.3 V, the derating by DC bias and AC  
bias are 80% and 50%, respectively. The effective derating is the product of these two factors, which in this case  
is 40% and 4 µF. Consult with capacitor manufacturers for specific characteristics of the capacitors to be used in  
the system/applications.  
For higher output voltage at or above 2-V, additional phase boost might be required to secure sufficient phase  
margin due to phase delay/loss for higher output voltage (large on-time (tON)) setting in a fixed-on-time topology  
based operation. A feedforward capacitor placing in parallel with RFB_HS is found to be very effective to boost the  
phase margin at loop crossover. Refer to the Optimizing Transient Response of Internally Compensated dc-dc  
Converters With Feedforward Capacitor application report for details.  
Besides boosting the phase, a feedforward capacitor feeds more VOUT node information into FB node by the AC  
coupling. This feedforward during load transient event enables the control loop a faster response to VOUT  
deviation. However, this feedforward during steady state operation also feeds more VOUT ripple and noise into  
FB. High ripple and noise on FB usually leads to more jitter, or even double pulse behavior. To determine the  
final feedforward capacitor value, impacts to phase margin, load transient performance, and ripple and nosie on  
FB should be all considered. Using Frequency Analysis equipment to measure the crossover frequency and the  
phase margin is recommended.  
7.3.8 Low-side FET Zero-Crossing  
The TPS54JB20 uses a zero-crossing circuit to perform the zero inductor-current detection during skip-mode  
operation. The function compensates the inherent offset voltage of the Z-C comparator and delay time of the Z-C  
detection circuit. The zero-crossing threshold is set to a positive value to avoid negative inductor current. As a  
result, the device delivers better light-load efficiency.

7.3.9 Current Sense and Positive Overcurrent Protection  
For a buck converter, during the on-time of the high-side FET, the switch current increases at a linear rate  
determined by input voltage, output voltage, the on-time, and the output inductor value. During the on-time of the  
low-side FET, this current decreases linearly. The average value of the switch current equals to the load current.  
The output overcurrent limit (OCL) in the TPS54JB20 device is implemented using a cycle-by-cycle valley  
current detect control circuit. The inductor current is monitored during the on-time of the low-side FET by  
measuring the low-side FET drain-to-source current. If the measured drain-to-source current of the low-side FET  
is above the current limit threshold, the low-side FET stays ON until the current level becomes lower than the  
current limit threshold. This type of behavior reduces the average output current sourced by the device. During  
an overcurrent condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitors. Thus, the output  
voltage tends to decrease. Eventually, when the output voltage falls below the undervoltage-protection threshold  
(80%), the UVP comparator detects it and shuts down the device after a wait time of 68 µs. The device remains  
in latched off state (both high-side and low-side FETs are latched off) until a reset of VIN or a re-toggling on EN  
pin.  
If an OCL condition happens during start-up, the device still has cycle-by-cycle current limit based on low-side  
valley current. After soft start is finished, the UV event which is caused by the OC event shuts down the device  
and enters latch-off mode with a wait time of 68-µs.  
The resistor, RTRIP connected from the TRIP pin to AGND sets current limit threshold. A ±1% tolerance resistor  
is highly recommended because a worse tolerance resistor provides less accurate OCL threshold. Equation 4  
calculates the RTRIP for a given overcurrent limit threshold on the device. To simplify the calculation, use a  
constant, KOCL, to replace the value of 12x104 . Equation 4 calculates the overcurrent limit threshold for a given  
RTRIP value. The tolerance of KOCL is listed in 6.5 to help you analyze the tolerance of the overcurrent limit  
threshold.  
To protect the device from unexpected connection on TRIP pin, an internal fixed OCL clamp is implemented.  
This internal OCL clamp limits the maximum valley current on LS FET when TRIP pin has too small resistance to  
AGND, or is accidentally shorted to ground.

7.3.10 Low-side FET Negative Current Limit  
The device has a fixed, cycle-by-cycle negative current limit. Similar with the positive overcurrent limit, the  
inductor current is monitored during the on-time of the low-side FET. To prevent too large negative current  
flowing through low-side FET, when the low-side FET detects a 10-A current (typical threshold), the device  
turns off low-side FET and then turns on the high-side FET for a proper ON-time (determined by VIN/VO/fSW).  
After the high-side FET on-time expires, the low-side FET turns on again.  
The device should not trigger the 10-A negative current limit threshold during nominal operation, unless a  
small inductor value that is too small is chosen or the inductor becomes saturated. This negative current limit is

utilized to discharge output capacitors during an output OVP or an OOB event. See 7.3.12 and 7.3.13 for  
details.  
7.3.11 Power Good  
The device has power-good output that indicates high when the converter output is within the target. The power-  
good output is an open-drain output and must be pulled up to VCC pin or an external voltage source (<5.5 V)  
through a pullup resistor (typically 30.1 kΩ). The recommended power-good pullup resistor value is 1 kΩ to 100  
kΩ.  
Once both the internal and external soft-start ramp finishes, the power-good signal becomes high after a 1.06-  
ms internal delay. The whole internal soft-start ramp takes 2 ms to finish. The external soft-start done signal  
goes high when FB reaches threshold equal to VINTREF 50 mV. If the FB voltage drops to 80% of the VINTREF  
voltage or exceeds 116% of the VINTREF voltage, the power-good signal latches low after a 2-µs internal delay.  
The power-good signal can only be pulled high again after re-toggling EN or a reset of VIN.  
If the input supply fails to power up the device, for example VIN and VCC both stays at zero volt, the power-good  
pin clamps low by itself when this pin is pulled up through an external resistor.  
Once VCC voltage level rises above the minimum VCC threshold for valid PGOOD output (maximum 1.5 V),  
internal power-good circuit is enabled to hold the PGOOD pin to the default status. By default, PGOOD is pulled  
low and this low-level output voltage is no more than 400 mV with 5.5-mA sinking current. The power-good  
function is fully activated after the soft-start operation is completed.  
7.3.12 Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection  
The device monitors a resistor-divided feedback voltage to detect overvoltage and undervoltage events. When  
the FB voltage becomes lower than 80% of the VINTREF voltage, the UVP comparator detects and an internal  
UVP delay counter begins counting. After the 68-µs UVP delay time, the device latches OFF both high-side and  
low-side FETs drivers. The UVP function enables after the soft-start period is complete.  
When the FB voltage becomes higher than 116% of the VINTREF voltage, the OVP comparator detects and the  
circuit latches OFF the high-side MOSFET driver and turns on the low-side MOSFET until reaching a negative  
current limit INOCL. Upon reaching the negative current limit, the low-side FET is turned off, and the high-side  
FET is turned on again, for a proper on-time (determined by VIN/VO/fSW). The device operates in this cycle until  
the output voltage is pulled down under the UVP threshold voltage for 68 µs. After the 68 µs UVP delay time,  
both the high-side FET and the low-side FET are latched OFF. The fault is cleared with a reset of VIN or by re-  
toggling the EN pin.  
During the 68-μs UVP delay time, if the output voltage becomes higher than UV threshold, thus is not qualified  
for UV event, the timer will be reset to zero. When the output voltage triggers UV threshold again, the timer of  
the 68 μs re-starts.  
7.3.13 Out-Of-Bounds (OOB) Operation  
The device has an out-of-bounds (OOB) overvoltage protection that protects the output load at a much lower  
overvoltage threshold of 5% above the VINTREF voltage. OOB protection does not trigger an overvoltage fault, so  
the device is on non-latch mode after an OOB event. OOB protection operates as an early no-fault overvoltage-  
protection mechanism. During the OOB operation, the controller operates in forced CCM mode. Turning on the  
low-side FET beyond the zero inductor current quickly discharges the output capacitor thus helps the output  
voltage to fall quickly towards the setpoint. During the operation, the cycle-by-cycle negative current limit is also  
activated to ensure the safe operation of the internal FETs.  
7.3.14 Output Voltage Discharge  
When the device is disabled through EN, it enables the output voltage discharge mode. This mode forces both  
high-side and low-side FETs to latch off, but turns on the discharge FET, which is connected from SW to PGND,  
to discharge the output voltage. Once the FB voltage drops below 90 mV, the discharge FET is turned off.  
The output voltage discharge mode is activated by any of the following fault events:  
1. EN pin goes low to disable the converter.

2. Thermal shutdown (OTP) is triggered.  
3. VCC UVLO (falling) is triggered.  
4. VIN UVLO (falling) is triggered.  
7.3.15 UVLO Protection  
The device monitors the voltage on both the VIN and the VCC pins. If the VCC pin voltage is lower than the  
VCCUVLO falling threshold voltage, the device shuts off. If the VCC voltage increases beyond the VCCUVLO rising  
threshold voltage, the device turns back on. VCC UVLO is a non-latch protection.  
When the VIN pin voltage is lower than the VINUVLO falling threshold voltage but the VCC pin voltage is still  
higher than VCCUVLO rising threshold voltage, the device stops switching and discharges SS/REFIN pin. Once  
the VIN voltage increases beyond the VINUVLO rising threshold voltage, the device re-initiates the soft start and  
switches again. VIN UVLO is a non-latch protection.  
7.3.16 Thermal Shutdown  
The device monitors internal junction temperature. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically  
165°C), the device stops switching and discharges SS/REFIN pin. When the temperature falls approximately  
30°C below the threshold value, the device turns back on with a re-initiated soft start. Thermal shutdown is a  
non-latch protection.  
7.4 Device Functional Modes  
7.4.1 Auto-Skip Eco-mode Light Load Operation  
While the MODE pin is pulled to VCC directly or connected to AGND pin through a resistor larger than 121 kΩ,  
the device automatically reduces the switching frequency at light-load conditions to maintain high efficiency. This  
section describes the operation in detail.  
As the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current also decreases until the rippled  
valley of the inductor current touches zero level. Zero level is the boundary between the continuous-conduction  
and discontinuous-conduction modes. The synchronous MOSFET turns off when this zero inductor current is  
detected. As the load current decreases further, the converter runs into discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM).  
The on-time is maintained to a level approximately the same as during continuous-conduction mode operation  
so that discharging the output capacitor with a smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage requires  
more time. The transition point to the light-load operation IO(LL) (for example: the threshold between continuous-  
and discontinuous-conduction mode) is calculated as shown in Equation 5.

7.4.2 Forced Continuous-Conduction Mode  
When the MODE pin is tied to the AGND pin through a resistor less than 60.4 kΩ, the controller operates in  
continuous conduction mode (CCM) during light-load conditions. During CCM, the switching frequency  
maintained to an almost constant level over the entire load range which is suitable for applications requiring tight  
control of the switching frequency at the cost of lower efficiency.  
7.4.3 Powering The Device From A 12-V Bus  
The device works well when powering from a 12-V Bus with single Vin configuration. As a single VIN  
configuration, the internal LDO is powered by 12-V Bus and generates a 3.0-V output to bias the internal analog  
circuitry and also powers up the gate drives. The VIN input range under this configuration is 4 V to 16 V for up to  
20-A load current. 7-3 shows an example for this single VIN configuration.

The device can also work for up to a 20-A load current when powering from a 3.3-V Bus with a single Vin  
configuration. To ensure the internal analog circuitry and the gate drives are powered up properly, VCC pin  
should be shorted to VIN pins with low impedance trace. A trace with at least 24-mil width is recommended. A  
2.2-µF, at least 6.3-V rating VCC-to-PGND decoupling capacitor is still recommended to be placed as close as  
possible to VCC pin. Due to the maximum rating limit on VCC pin, the VIN input range under this configuration is  
3 V to 3.6 V. The input voltage must stay higher than both VIN UVLO and VCC UVLO, otherwise the device will  
shut down immediately. 7-4 shows an example for this single VIN configuration.

7-4. Single VIN Configuration For 3.3-V Bus  
7.4.5 Powering The Device From A Split-rail Configuration  
When an external bias, which is at a different level from main VIN bus, is applied onto the VCC pin the device  
can be configured to split-rail by utilizing both the main VIN bus and VCC bias. Connecting a valid VCC bias to  
VCC pin overrides the internal LDO, thus saves power loss on that linear regulator. This configuration helps to  
improve overall system level efficiency but requires a valid VCC bias. 3.3-V rail is the common choice as VCC  
bias. With a stable VCC bias, the VIN input range under this configuration can be as low as 2.7 V and up to 16 V.  
The noise of the external bias affects the internal analog circuitry. To ensure a proper operation, a clean, low-  
noise external bias and good local decoupling capacitor from VCC pin to PGND pin are required. 7-5 shows  
an example for this split rail configuration.  
The VCC external bias current during nominal operation varies with the bias voltage level and also the operating  
frequency. For example, by setting the device to skip-mode, the VCC pins draws less and less current from the  
external bias when the frequency decreases under light load condition. The typical VCC external bias current  
under FCCM operation is listed in 6.5 to help you prepare the capacity of the external bias.  
Under split rail configuration, VIN, VCC bias, and EN are the signals to enable the part. For start-up sequence, it  
is recommended that at least one of VIN UVLO rising threshold and EN rising threshold is satisfied later than  
VCC UVLO rising threshold. A practical start-up sequence example is: VIN applied first, the external bias  
applied, and then EN signal goes high.

8 Application and Implementation  
Note  
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI  
does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TIs customers are responsible for determining  
suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design  
implementation to confirm system functionality.  
8.1 Application Information  
The TPS54JB20 device is a high-efficiency, single-channel, small-sized, synchronous-buck converter. The  
device suits low output voltage point-of-load applications with 20-A or lower output current in server, storage, and  
similar computing applications. The TPS54JB20 features proprietary D-CAP3 mode control combined with  
adaptive on-time architecture. This combination builds modern low-duty-ratio and ultra-fast load-step-response  
DC/DC converters in an ideal fashion. The output voltage ranges from 0.9 V to 5.5 V. The conversion input  
voltage ranges from 2.7 V to 16 V, and the VCC input voltage ranges from 3.13 V to 5.3 V. The D-CAP3 mode  
uses emulated current information to control the modulation. An advantage of this control scheme is that it does  
not require an external phase-compensation network, which makes the device easy-to-use and also allows for a  
low external component count. Another advantage of this control scheme is that it supports stable operation with  
all low ESR output capacitors (such as ceramic capacitor and low ESR polymer capacitor). Adaptive on-time  
control tracks the preset switching frequency over a wide range of input and output voltages while increasing  
switching frequency as needed during a load-step transient.  
8.2 Typical Application  
The schematic shows a typical application for TPS54JB20. This example describes the design procedure of  
converting an input voltage range of 4 V to 16 V down to 1 V with a maximum output current of 20 A.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
The external component selection is a simple process using D-CAP3 mode. Select the external components  
using the following steps.  
8.2.2.1 Output Voltage Setting Point  
The output voltage is programmed by the voltage-divider resistors, R1 and R2, shown in Equation 6. Connect R1  
between the FB pin and the output, and connect R2 between the FB pin and VSNS. The recommended R2  
value is 10 kΩ, but it can also be set to another value between the range of 1 kΩ to 20 kΩ. Determine R1.

8.2.2.2 Choose the Switching Frequency and the Operation Mode  
The switching frequency and operation mode are configured by the resistor on MODE pin. Select one of three  
switching frequencies: 600 kHz, 800 kHz, or 1 MHz. Refer to 7-1 for the relationship between the switching  
frequency, operation mode and RMODE  
.
Switching frequency selection is a tradeoff between higher efficiency and smaller system solution size. Lower  
switching frequency yields higher overall efficiency but relatively bigger external components. Higher switching  
frequencies cause additional switching losses which impact efficiency and thermal performance. For this design,  
short MODE pin to AGND to set the switching frequency to 0.6 MHz and set operation mode as FCCM.  
When selecting the switching frequency of a buck converter, the minimum on-time and minimum off-time must  
be considered. Equation 7 calculates the maximum fSW before being limited by the minimum on-time. When  
hitting the minimum on-time limits of a converter with D-CAP3 control, the effective switching frequency will  
change to keep the output voltage regulated. This calculation ignores resistive drops in the converter to give a  
worst case estimation.

Equation 7 calculates the maximum fSW before being limited by the minimum off-time. When hitting the minimum  
off-time limits of a converter with D-CAP3 control, the operating duty cycle will max out and the output voltage  
will begin to drop with the input voltage. This equation requires the DC resistance of the inductor, RDCR, selected  
in the following step so this preliminary calculation assumes a resistance of 2.2 mΩ. If operating near the

8.2.2.3 Choose the Inductor  
To calculate the value of the output inductor (LOUT), use Equation 9. The output capacitor filters the inductor-  
ripple current (IIND(ripple)). Therefore, selecting a high inductor-ripple current impacts the selection of the output  
capacitor because the output capacitor must have a ripple-current rating equal to or greater than the inductor-  
ripple current. On the other hand, larger ripple current increases output ripple voltage, but improves signal-to-  
noise ratio and helps to stabilize operation. Generally speaking, the inductance value should set the ripple  
current at approximately 15% to 40% of the maximum output current for a balanced performance.  
For this design, the inductor-ripple current is set to 30% of output current. With a 0.6-MHz switching frequency,  
16 V as maximum VIN, and 3.3 V as the output voltage, the calculated inductance is 0.728 μH. A nearest  
standard value of 0.80 µH is chosen.

The inductor requires a low DCR to achieve good efficiency. The inductor also requires enough room above  
peak inductor current before saturation. The peak inductor current is estimated using Equation 10. For this  
design, by selecting 6.04 A as the RTRIP, IOC(valley) is set to 20 A, thus peak inductor current under maximum VIN  
is calculated as 5.457 A.

The selected inductance is a Coilcraft XAL7070-801. This has a saturation current rating of 37.8 A , RMS current  
rating of and a DCR of 2.29 mΩ max. This inductor was selected for its low DCR to get high efficiency.  
8.2.2.4 Set the Current Limit (TRIP)  
The RTRIP resistor sets the valley current limit. Equation 13 calculates the recommended current limit target. This  
includes the tolerance of the inductor and a factor of 0.85 for the tolerance of the current limit threshold.  
Equation 14 calculates the RTRIP resistor to set the current limit. The typical valley current limit target is 17.98 A  
and the closest standard value for RTRIP is 6.0 kΩ.

calculates the typical peak current at current limit. As mentioned in 8.2.2.3, the saturation behavior of the

8.2.2.5 Choose the Output Capacitor  
There are three considerations for selecting the value of the output capacitor.  
1. Stability  
2. Steady state output voltage ripple  
3. Regulator transient response to a change load current  
First the minimum output capacitance should be calculated based on these three requirements. Equation 17  
calculates the minimum capacitance to keep the LC double pole below 1/30th the fSW in order to meet stability  
requirements. This requirement helps to keep the LC double pole close to the internal zero. Equation 18  
calculates the minimum capacitance to meet the steady state output voltage ripple requirement of . This  
calculation is for CCM operation and does not include the portion of the output voltage ripple caused by the ESR  
or ESL of the output capacitors.

The output capacitance needed to meet the overshoot requirement is the highest value so this sets the required  
minimum output capacitance for this example. Stability requirements can also limit the maximum output  
capacitance and Equation 21 calculates the recommended maximum output capacitance. This calculation keeps  
the LC double pole above 1/100th the fSW. It can be possible to use more output capacitance but the stability  
must be checked through a bode plot or transient response measurement. The selected output capacitance is  
ceramic capacitors. When using ceramic capacitors, the capacitance must be derated due to DC and AC bias

This application uses all ceramic capacitors so the effects of ESR on the ripple and transient were ignored. If  
using non ceramic capacitors, as a starting point, the ESR should be below the values calculated in Equation 22  
to meet the ripple requirement and Equation 23 to meet the transient requirement. For more accurate  
calculations or if using mixed output capacitors, the impedance of the output capacitors should be used to  
determine if the ripple and transient requirements can be met.

8.2.2.6 Choose the Input Capacitors (CIN)  
The device requires input bypass capacitors between the VIN and PGND pins to bypass the power-stage. The  
bypass capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the pins of the IC as the layout will allow. At least 10  
µF of ceramic capacitance and 1-µF high frequency ceramic bypass capacitors are required. A 1-uF, 16-V X6S  
size 0402 ceramic capacitor on VIN pin 21 is required. A 1-uF, 16-V X6S ceramic capacitor on VIN pin 10 is  
required. A 1-uF 16-V X6S ceramic capacitor on the bottom layer is recommended for high current applications.  
The high frequency bypass capacitor minimizes high frequency voltage overshoot across the power-stage. The  
ceramic capacitors must be a high-quality dielectric of X6S or better for their high capacitance-to-volume ratio  
and stable characteristics across temperature. In addition to this, more bulk capacitance can be needed on the  
input depending on the application to minimize variations on the input voltage during transient conditions.  
The input capacitance required to meet a specific input ripple target can be calculated with Equation 24. A  
recommended target input voltage ripple is 5% the minimum input voltage, 400 mV in this example. The  
calculated input capacitance is 20.2 μF and the minimum input capacitance of 10 µF exceeds this. This  
example meets these two requirements with 4 x 22-µF ceramic capacitors.

The capacitor must also have an RMS current rating greater than the maximum input RMS current in the  
application. The input RMS current the input capacitors must support is calculated by Equation 25 and is 9.874 A

A minimum capacitor value of 1 nF is required at the SS/REFIN pin. The SS/REFIN capacitor must use the  
VSNSpin for its ground.  
8.2.2.8 EN Pin Resistor Divider  
A resistor divider on the EN pin can be used to increase the input voltage the converter begins its start-up  
sequence. To set the start voltage, first select the bottom resistor (REN_B). The recommended value is between 1  
kΩ and 100 kΩ. There is an internal pulldown resistance with a nominal value of 6 MΩ and this must be  
included for the most accurate calculations. This is especially important when the bottom resistor is a higher  
value, near 100 kΩ. This example uses a 10-kΩ resistor and this combined with the internal resistance in  
parallel results in an equivalent bottom resistance of 9.98 kΩ. The top resistor value for the target start voltage is  
calculated with Equation 27. In this example, the nearest standard value of 20 kΩ is selected for REN_T. When  
selecting a start voltage in a wide input range application, be cautious that the EN pin absolute maximum voltage  
of 6 V is not exceeded.

8.2.2.9 VCC Bypass Capacitor  
At a minimum, a 2.2-µF, at least 6.3V rating, X5R ceramic bypass capacitor is needed on VCC pin located as  
close to the pin as the layout will allow.  
8.2.2.10 BOOT Capacitor  
At a minimum, a 0.1-µF 10V X5R ceramic bypass capacitor is needed between the BOOT and SW pins located  
as close to the pin as the layout will allow. It is good practice to use a 0-Ω resistor in series with BOOT capacitor.  
8.2.2.11 Series BOOT Resistor and RC Snubber  
A series BOOT resistor can help reduce the overshoot at the SW pin. As a best practice, include a 0-Ω resistor  
in series with boot capacitor during layout for 12-V or higher input applications. The BOOT resistor can be used  
to reduce the voltage overshoot on the SW pin to within the absolute maximum ratings, in case the overshoot is  
higher than normal due to parasitic inductance in PCB layout. Including a 0-Ω BOOT resistor is recommended  
with external VCC as the SW node overshoot is increased.  
An RC snubber on the SW pin can also help reduce voltage overshoot and ringing at the SW pin. In order for the  
RC snubber to be as effective as possible, it should be placed on the same side as the IC and be as close as  
possible to the SW pins with a very low impedance return to PGND pins.  
8.2.2.12 PGOOD Pullup Resistor  
The PGOOD pin is open-drain so a pullup resistor is required when using this pin. The recommended value is  
between 1 kΩ and 100 kΩ.

9 Power Supply Recommendations  
The device is designed to operate from a wide input voltage supply range between 2.7 V and 16 V when VCC  
pin is powered by external bias ranging from 3.13 V to 3.6 V. Both input supplies (VIN and VCC bias) must be  
well regulated. Proper bypassing of input supplies (VIN and VCC bias) is also critical for noise performance, as  
are PCB layout and grounding scheme. See the recommendations in 10.  
10 Layout  
10.1 Layout Guidelines  
Before beginning a design using the device, consider the following:  
Place the power components (including input and output capacitors, the inductor, and the IC) on the top side  
of the PCB. In order to shield and isolate the small signal traces from noisy power lines, insert at least one  
solid ground inner plane.  
VIN decoupling capacitors are important for FET robustness. A 1-μF/25-V/X6S/0402 ceramic capacitor on  
VIN pin 21 is required. The PGND vias for this decoupling capacitor should be placed so that the decoupling  
capacitor is closer to IC than the PGND vias. To lower ESL from via connection, two 8-mil vias are  
recommended for the PGND connection to inner PGND plane.  
A 1-μF/25-V/X6S/0402 ceramic capacitor on VIN pin 10 is highly recommended. If this 0402 size capacitor is  
not used, the bigger size VIN decoupling capacitors (0603 or 0805 size) are required to be placed as close as  
possible to IC pin 10 and pin 11.  
Two 1-μF/25-V/X6S/0402 ceramic capacitors on bottom layer are recommended for high current applications  
(Iout > 13 A). One of these two capacitors should be centered between VIN pin 10 and pin 21. To have good  
connection for this capacitor, a VIN copper on bottom layer and two VIN vias are needed. The other one can  
be placed close to IC package just like a mirrored copy to the 0402 capacitor on top layer.  
At least six PGND vias are required to be placed as close as possible to the PGND pins (pin 11 to pin 15).  
This minimizes parasitic impedance and also lowers thermal resistance.  
Place the VCC decoupling capacitor (2.2-μF/6.3-V/X6S/0402 or 2.2-μF/6.3-V/X7R/0603) as close as  
possible to the device. Ensure the VCC decoupling loop is smallest.  
Place BOOT capacitor as close as possible to the BOOT and SW pins. Use traces with a width of 12 mil or  
wider to route the connection. TI recommends using a 0.1-µF to 1-µF bootstrap capacitor with 10-V rating.  
The PCB trace, which connects the SW pin and high-voltage side of the inductor, is defined as switch node.  
The switch node must be as short and wide as possible.  
Always place the feedback resistors near the device to minimize the FB trace distance, no matter single-end  
sensing or remote sensing.  
For remote sensing, the connections from the FB voltage divider resistors to the remote location should be  
a pair of PCB traces with at least 12-mil trace width, and should implement Kelvin sensing across a high  
bypass capacitor of 0.1 μF or higher. The ground connection of the remote sensing signal must be  
connected to VSNSpin. The VOUT connection of the remote sensing signal must be connected to the  
feedback resistor divider with the lower feedback resistor terminated at VSNSpin. To maintain stable  
output voltage and minimize the ripple, the pair of remote sensing lines should stay away from any noise  
sources such as inductor and SW nodes, or high frequency clock lines. It is recommended to shield the  
pair of remote sensing lines with ground planes above and below.  
For single-end sensing, connect the higher FB resistor to a high-frequency local bypass capacitor of 0.1  
μF or higher, and short VSNSto AGND with shortest trace.  
This device does not require a capacitor from SS/REFIN pin to AGND, thus it is not recommenced to place a  
capacitor from SS/REFIN pin to AGND. If both CSS/REFIN-to-VSNSand CSS/REFIN-to-AGND capacitors exist,  
place CSS/REFIN-to-VSNSmore closely with shortest trace to VSNSpin.  
Pin 2 (AGND pin) must be connected to a solid PGND plane on inner layer. Use the common AGND via to  
connect the resistors to the inner ground plane if applicable.  
See 10.2 for the layout recommendation.
