TPS51020
DESCRIPTION
The TPS51020 is a multi-function dualsynchronous step-down controller for notebook
system power. The part is specifically designed
for high performance, high efficiency applications
where the loss associated with a current sense
resistor is unacceptable. The TPS51020 utilizes
feed forward voltage mode control to attain high
efficiency without sacrificing line response.
Efficiency at light load conditions can be
maintained high as well by incorporating autoskip
operation. A selectable, Suspend to RAM (STR)
supported, DDR option provides a one chip
solution for all switching applications from
5-V/3.3-V supply to a complete DDR termination
solution.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PWM OPERATION
The PWM control block utilizes a fixed-frequency, feed-forward, voltage-mode control scheme with a
wide-bandwidth, low-impedance output error amplifier as the voltage servo control block. This scheme allows
the highest efficiency down conversion while maintaining excellent line regulation and fast transient response.
Loop compensation is programmed by connecting a filter network between the COMPx pin and the INVx pin.
The wide bandwidth error amplifier handles conventional Type II compensation or Type III compensation when
using ceramic capacitors for the converter output. For channel one, the reference signal for the control loop is
always a precision 0.85-V internal reference, while the channel two loop reference is either the 0.85-V reference
or, in the case of DDR
amplifier appears at the COMPx pin and is compared to a buffered version of the 0.6-V oscillator ramp. When
TRIP2 pin is tied to VIN through a resistor, the voltage ramp is further modulated by the input voltage, VIN, to
maintain a constant modulator gain. If the TRIP2 pin is connected to ground through a resistor , then the voltage
ramp remains fixed regardless of VIN value.
The oscillator frequency is internally fixed and can be selected at 270 kHz, 360 kHz or 470 kHz by insertion of
a clamping resistor on the SSTRTx pin per Table 1. For example, 470 kHz can be attained when both SSTR Tx
voltages exceed 3.5 V, as described in WAVEFORM1. The controller begins with 270 kHz in the first stage of
the softstart, and then increases to 470 kHz at the steady state. When 270 kHz is selected, both of SSTRTx
voltages are kept below 3.5 V so that the frequency is the same 270 kHz for the entire operation.
mode, one half the VO1_VDDQ voltage, (VO1_VDDQ)/2. The output signal of the error
Two channels are operated in 180 degrees out-of-phase interleave switching mode. This interleaving helps
reduce the input current ripple requirement for the input capacitor . However, because the PWM loop determines
both the turn-off AND turn-on of the high-side MOSFET, this 180 degree operation may not be apparent by
looking at the LLx nodes only. Rather , the turn-of f cycle of one channel always corresponds to the turn-on cycle
of the other channel and vise-versa. As a result, input ripple is reduced and dynamic response is improved over
a broad input voltage range.
MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE
Because most notebook applications typically run from three to four cell Li−Ion or run from a 20-V adapter , 100%
duty cycle operation is not required. Rather, the TPS51020 is optimized for low duty ratio step-down conversion.
As a result of limiting the duty cycle, the flying BST capacitor is refreshed reliably and the low-side over current
detection circuitry is capable of detecting an overcurrent condition even if the output is stuck between the
regulation point and UVP. The maximum duty cycle for each operating frequency is 88% for 270 kHz, 85% for
360 kHz and 82% for 470 kHz.
It should be noted that if the system is operating close to maximum (or minimum) duty cycle, it may be difficult
for the converter to respond quickly during line/load transients or state changes (such as frequency switching
during soft start or PWM to SKIP mode transitions). This slow response is due to the dynamic range of the COMP
pin and is usually not a result of poor phase compensation. In the case of minimum duty cycle operation, the
slow response is due to the minimum pulse width of the converter (100 ns TYP). In this case (counter intuitively),
it may be advisable to slow down the switching frequency of the converter in order to improve response time.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SKIP MODE OPERATION
If the SKIP pin is set HIGH, the SMPS operates in the fixed PWM mode. While a LOW signal is applied, the
controller operates in autoskip mode. In the autoskip mode, the operation changes from constant frequency
PWM mode to an energy-saving skip mode automatically by detecting the edge of discontinuous current mode.
During the skip mode, the hysteretic comparator monitors output voltage to trigger high side on at the next
coming oscillator pulse after the lower level is detected. Several sequential pulses may be seen, especially in
the intermediate load level, before output capacitor is charged up to the higher level and waits for next cycle.
In the skip mode, frequency varies with load current and input voltage.
Skip mode for SMPS_2 is disabled regardless of the SKIP
and DDR Mode section). This is because current sink capability is required for V

is turned off and the VREG5 pin is switched over to REG_IN. This operation enhances the efficiency of the

OUTPUT DISCHARGE (SOFT-STOP)
When an SMPS is turned off by ENBLx asserted low or the part enters a fault mode, both top and bottom drivers
are turned off. This may leave the output in a high impedance state that allows the voltage to persist for some
time. Output voltage should be discharged prior to the next power up. To achieve this, connect the output to the
VO1_VDDQ or VO2 pins.
These pins turn on a 6-Ω resistor to ground during an off or fault condition. Both the VO1_VDDQ and VO2 pin
must be discharged to 0.3 V before the TPS51020 restarts. The TPS51020 has the flexibility of adding a resistor
in series with the VOx pin and the output voltage in order to reduce the discharge current and reduce the total

APPLICATION INFORMATION
If one channel is enabled in the period between T0 and T1, (the other channel’s ramp time plus delay time,) the
PGOOD delay counter restarts counting softstart finish after the last channel has finished softstart. Enabling
after T1 is ignored by PGOOD until the channel finishes its softstart. If either of the SMPS output goes out by
± 7.5% or UVLO is detected while ENBLx is high, PGOOD pulls low. If a channel is disabled while the other is
still active PGOOD maintains it’s logic state and only monitor the active channel.
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
The TPS51020 is equipped with input undervoltage lock out (UVLO), output undervoltage protection (UVP) and
overvoltage (OVP) protection. Overcurrent is detected using R
protected by triggering UVP, or latch off in some cases. The states of output drive signal depends on which
protection was involved. Please refer to each protection description below for the detail.
When the input voltage UVLO is tripped, the TPS51020 resets and waits for the voltage to rise up over the
threshold voltage and restart the device. Alternatively , if output UVP or OVP is triggered, the device latches off
after a delay time defined by the internal fault counter counting the PWM oscillator pulses. The VREF5 and
REF_X is kept on in this latch off condition. The fault latch can be reset by toggling both of ENBLx pins in DDR
mode. The fault latch can be reset by either toggling VIN or bringing DDR

If a false trip of the UVLO appears due to input voltage sag during turn-on of the high-side MOSFET such as

drain. Also consider adding a small V

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT PROTECTION
There are two undervoltage lock out protections (UVLO) in TPS51020. One is for VIN, which has a typical trip
threshold voltage 3.9 V and trip hysteresis 200 mV. The other is for VREF5, which has a typical trip threshold
voltage 3.65 V and trip hysteresis 300 mV. If either is triggered, the device resets and waits for the voltage to
rise up over the threshold voltage and restart the part. Please note this protection function DOES NOT trigger
the fault counter to latch off the part.
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
For overvoltage protection (OVP), the TPS51020 monitors INVx voltage. When the INVx voltage is higher than
0.95V (+12%), the OVP comparator output goes high (after a 20-µs delay) and the circuit latches the top
MOSFET driver OFF, and bottom driver ON for the SMPS detected overvoltage. In addition, the output
discharge (softstop) function is enabled to discharge the output capacitor. The fault latch can be reset by either
toggling VIN or bringing DDR

UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
For undervoltage protection (UVP), the TPS51020 monitors INVx voltage. When the INVx voltage is lower than
0.55 V (−35 %), the UVP comparator output goes high, and the internal FLT timer starts to count PWM oscillator
pulses. After 4096 clock pulses, the part latches off. Both top and bottom drivers are turned off at this condition.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
Overcurrent protection (OCP) is achieved by comparing the drain to source voltage of the high-side and low-side
MOSFET to a set point voltage. This voltage appears at the TRIPx pin and is defined by the conversion voltage,
typically VIN, minus the I × R drop of the I
conversion voltage. The offset of the internal comparators also plays a role in determining the overall accuracy
and set point of the OCP limit.
When the drain-to-source voltage of the synchronous MOSFET exceeds the set point voltage created by the
I × R drop (usually 20 mV to around 150 mV), the synchronous MOSFET on-time is extended into the next pulse
and the high-side MOSFET OCP comparator is enabled. If during the subsequent high-side on-time the
drain-to-source voltage of the high-side MOSFET exceeds the set point voltage, then the high-side on-time
pulse is terminated. This low-side extension/high-side termination action has the effect of decreasing the output
voltage until the UVP circuit is activated to turn off both the high-side and low-side drivers. The TPS51020 I
current has a temperature coefficient of 4200 PPM/°C.

Precaution should be taken with board layout in order to design OCP point as desired. The conversion voltage
point must avoid high current path. Any voltage difference between the conversion point and VIN input for the
TPS51020 is included in the threshold voltage. VIN plane layout should consider the other channels
high-current path as well.
A brief discussion is required for TRIP2 function. When TRIP2 is connected, via a resistor to GND, only low-side
OCP is used. This is the case for cascade configuration been selected. In this mode, UVP does not play a roll
in the shut off action and there is only a short delay between the over current trigger level been hit and the power
MOSFETs turn off. However, as with UVP, the SSTRTx pins are discharged and both SMPS goes though a
restart.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Below are some points to consider before the layout of the TPS51020 design begins.
DSignal GND and power GND should be isolated as much as possible, with a single point connection
between them.
DAll sensitive analog components such as INV, SSTRT, SKIP, DDR, GND, REF_X, ENBL and PGOOD
should be reference to signal GND and be as short as possible.
current is
DThe source of low-side MOSFET, the Schottky diode anode, the output capacitor and OUTGND should be
referenced to power GND and be as short and wide as possible, otherwise signal GND is subject to the noise
of the outputs.
DPCB trace defined as the node of LL should be as short and wide as possible.
DConnections from the drivers to the gate of the power MOSFET should be as short and wide as possible
to reduce stray inductance and the noise at the LL node.
DThe drain of high-side MOSFET, the input capacitor and the trip resistor should be as short and wide as

DThe output voltage sensing trace and the feedback components should be as short as possible and be
isolated from the power components and traces.
DThe low pass filter for VIN should be placed close to the TPS51020 and be referenced to signal GND.
DThe bootstrap capacitor C
DVREG5 requires at least 4.7-µF bypass capacitor which should be placed close to the TPS51020 and be
referenced to signal GND.
DThe discharge (VO1_VDDQ, VO2) should better have a dedicated trace to the output capacitor. In case of
limiting the discharge current, series resistors should be added.
DIdeally, all of the area directly under the TPS51020 chip should also be signal GND.
