The main control loop of the switch mode power supply (SMPS) is designed as an adaptive on-time pulse width
modulation (PWM) controller. It supports a proprietary D-CAP™ mode. D-CAP™ mode does not require external
compensation circuit and is suitable for low external component count configuration when used with appropriate
amount of ESR at the output capacitor(s).
At the beginning of each cycle, the synchronous top MOSFET is turned on, or becomes ‘ON’ state. This
MOSFET is turned off, or becomes ‘OFF’ state, after internal one shot timer expires. This one shot is determined
by VINand V
to keep frequency fairly constant over input voltage range, hence it is called adaptive on-time
OUT
control. The MOSFET is turned on again when the feedback point voltage, VFB, decreased to match with internal
2-V reference. The inductor current information is also monitored and should be below the over current threshold
to initiate this new cycle. Repeating operation in this manner, the controller regulates the output voltage. The
synchronous bottom or the “rectifying” MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of each ‘OFF’ state to keep the
conduction loss minimum.The rectifying MOSFET is turned off before the top MOSFET turns on at next switching
cycle or when inductor current information detects zero level. In the auto-skip mode or the OOA skip mode, this
enables seamless transition to the reduced frequency operation at light load condition so that high efficiency is
kept over broad range of load current.
Adaptive On-Time Control and PWM Frequency
TPS51123 does not have a dedicated oscillator on board. However, the part runs with pseudo-constant
frequency by feed-forwarding the input and output voltage into the on-time, one-shot timer. The on-time is
controlled inverse proportional to the input voltage and proportional to the output voltage so that the duty ratio will
be kept as VOUT/VIN technically with the same cycle time. The frequencies are set by TONSEL terminal
connection as Table 2.
Table 2. TONSEL Connection and Switching Frequency
From small-signal loop analysis, a buck converter using D-CAPTMmode can be simplified as below.
Figure 36. Simplifying the Modulator
www.ti.com
The output voltage is compared with internal reference voltage after divider resistors, R1 and R2. The PWM
comparator determines the timing to turn on high-side MOSFET. The gain and speed of the comparator is high
enough to keep the voltage at the beginning of each on cycle substantially constant. For the loop stability, the
0dB frequency, f0, defined below need to be lower than 1/4 of the switching frequency.
As f0is determined solely by the output capacitor's characteristics, loop stability of D-CAPTMmode is determined
by the capacitor's chemistry. For example, specialty polymer capacitors (SP-CAP) have Co in the order of
several 100 μF and ESR in range of 10 mΩ. These make f0on the order of 100 kHz or less and the loop will be
stable. However, ceramic capacitors have f0at more than 700 kHz, which is not suitable for this operational
mode.
Ramp Signal
The TPS51123 adds a ramp signal to the 2-V reference in order to improve its jitter performance. As described in
the previous section, the feedback voltage is compared with the reference information to keep the output voltage
in regulation. By adding a small ramp signal to the reference, the S/N ratio at the onset of a new switching cycle
is improved. Therefore the operation becomes less jitter and stable. The ramp signal is controlled to start with 20mV at the beginning of ON-cycle and to become 0 mV at the end of OFF-cycle in steady state. By using this
scheme, the TPS51123 improve jitter performance without sacrificing the reference accuracy.
The TPS51123 automatically reduces switching frequency at light load conditions to maintain high efficiency.
This reduction of frequency is achieved smoothly and without increase of V
ripple. Detail operation is
OUT
described as follows. As the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also
reduced and eventually comes to the point that its ‘valley’ touches zero current, which is the boundary between
continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when this zero
inductor current is detected. As the load current further decreased, the converter runs in discontinuous
conduction mode and it takes longer and longer to discharge the output capacitor to the level that requires next
‘ON’ cycle. The ON time is kept the same as that in the heavy load condition. In reverse, when the output current
increase from light load to heavy load, switching frequency increases to the preset value as the inductor current
reaches to the continuous conduction. The transition load point to the light load operation I
OUT(LL)
(i.e. the
threshold between continuous and discontinuous conduction mode) can be calculated as follows;

Out-of-Audio™ Light-Load Operation
Out-of-Audio™ (OOA) light-load mode is a unique control feature that keeps the switching frequency above
acoustic audible frequencies toward virtually no load condition while maintaining best of the art high conversion
efficiency. When the Out-of-Audio™ operation is selected, OOA control circuit monitors the states of both
MOSFET and force to change into the ‘ON’ state if both of MOSFETs are off for more than 32 μs. This means
that the top MOSFET is turned on even if the output voltage is higher than the target value so that the output
capacitor is tends to be overcharged.
The OOA control circuit detects the over-voltage condition and begins to modulate the on time to keep the output
voltage regulated. As a result, the output voltage becomes 0.5% higher than normal light-load operation.
Enable and Soft Start
EN0 is the control pin of VREG5, VREG3 and VREF regulators. Bring this node down to GND disables those
three regulators and minimize the shutdown supply current to 10 μA. Pulling this node up to 3.3 V or 5 V will turn
the three regulators on to standby mode. The two switch mode power supplies (channel-1, channel-2) become
ready to enable at this standby mode. The TPS51123 has an internal, 1.6 ms, voltage servo softstart for each
channel. When the ENC pin becomes higher than the enable threshold voltage, which is typically 1.26 V, an
internal DAC begins ramping up the reference voltage to both of the PWM comparators at the same time.
Smooth control of the output voltage is maintained during start up.
There are two sets of 100-mA standby linear regulators which outputs 5 V and 3.3 V, respectively. The VREG5
serves as the main power supply for the analog circuitry of the device and provides the current for gate drivers.
The VREG3 is intended mainly for auxiliary 3.3-V supply for the notebook system during standby mode.
Add a ceramic capacitor with a value of at least 33 μF and place it close to the VREG5 pin, and add at most
10 μF to the VREG3 pin. Total capacitance connected to the VREG3 pin should not exceed 10 μF .
When the VO1 voltage becomes higher than 4.7 V AND channel-1 internal powergood flag is generated, internal
5-V LDO regulator is shut off and the VREG5 output is connected to VO1 by internal switch over MOSFET. The
510-μs powergood delay helps a switch over without glitch.
VREG3 Switch Over
When the VO2 voltage becomes higher than 3.15 V AND channel-2 internal powergood flag is generated,
internal 3.3-V LDO regulator is shut off and the VREG3 output is connected to VO2 by internal switch over
MOSFET. The 510-μs powergood delay helps a switch over without glitch.
Powergood
The TPS51123 has one powergood output that indicates 'high' when both switcher outputs are within the targets
(AND gated). The powergood function is activated with 2-ms internal delay after ENC goes high. If the output
voltage becomes within ±5% of the target value, internal comparators detect power good state and the
powergood signal becomes high after 510-μs internal delay. Therefore PGOOD goes high around 2.5 ms after
ENC goes high. If the output voltage goes outside of ±10% of the target value, the powergood signal becomes
low after 2-μs internal delay. The powergood output is an open drain output and is needed to be pulled up
outside.
Also note that, in the case of Auto-skip or Out-of-Audio™ mode, if the output voltage goes +10% above the
target value and the power-good signal flags low, then the loop attempts to correct the output by turning on the
low-side driver (forced PWM mode). After the feedback voltage returns to be within +5% of the target value and
the power-good signal goes high, the controller returns back to auto-skip mode or Out-of-Audio™ mode.
Output Discharge Control
When ENC is low, the TPS51123 discharges outputs using internal MOSFET which is connected to VOx and
GND. The current capability of these MOSFETs is limited to discharge slowly.
Low-Side Driver
The low-side driver is designed to drive high current low R
represented by its internal resistance, which are 4 Ω for VREG5 to DRVLx and 1.5 Ω for DRVLx to GND. A dead
time to prevent shoot through is internally generated between top MOSFET off to bottom MOSFET on, and
bottom MOSFET off to top MOSFET on. 5-V bias voltage is delivered from VREG5 supply. The instantaneous
drive current is supplied by an input capacitor connected between VREG5 and GND. The average drive current
is equal to the gate charge at Vgs = 5 V times switching frequency. This gate drive current as well as the highside gate drive current times 5 V makes the driving power which need to be dissipated from TPS51123 package.

High-Side Driver
The high-side driver is designed to drive high current, low R
floating driver, 5-V bias voltage is delivered from VREG5 supply. The average drive current is also calculated by
the gate charge at Vgs = 5 V times switching frequency. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by the flying
capacitor between VBSTx and LLx pins. The drive capability is represented by its internal resistance, which are 4
Ω for VBSTx to DRVHx and 1.5Ω for DRVHx to LLx.
TPS51123 has cycle-by-cycle over current limiting control. The inductor current is monitored during the ‘OFF’
state and the controller keeps the ‘OFF’ state during the inductor current is larger than the over current trip level.

Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection
TPS51123 monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect over and under voltage. When the feedback
voltage becomes higher than 115% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit
latches as the top MOSFET driver OFF and the bottom MOSFET driver ON.
Also, TPS51123 monitors VOx voltage directly and if it becomes greater than 5.75 V the TPS51123 turns off the
top MOSFET driver.
When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 60% of the target voltage, the UVP comparator output goes
high and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After 32 μs, TPS51123 latches OFF both top and
bottom MOSFETs drivers, and shut off both drivers of another channel. This function is enabled after 2 ms
following ENC has become high.
TPS51123 has VREG5 under voltage lock out protection (UVLO). When the VREG5 voltage is lower than UVLO
threshold voltage both switch mode power supplies are shut off. This is non-latch protection. When the VREG3
voltage is lower than (VO2 - 1 V), both switch mode power supplies are also shut off
Thermal Shutdown
TPS51123 monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 150°C),
TPS51123 is shut off including LDOs. This is non-latch protection.
External Parts Selection
The external components selection is much simple in D-CAP™ Mode.
1. Determine output voltage
The output voltage is programmed by the voltage-divider resistor, R1 and R2, as shown in Figure 36. R1 is
connected between VFBx pin and the output, and R2 is connected betwen the VFBx pin and GND.
Recommended R2 value is from 10 kΩ to 20 kΩ. Determine R1 using equation as below.
(5)
2. Choose the Inductor
The inductance value should be determined to give the ripple current of approximately 1/4 to 1/2 of maximum
output current. Larger ripple current increases output ripple voltage and improves S/N ratio and helps stable
operation.
(6)
The inductor also needs to have low DCR to achieve good efficiency, as well as enough room above peak
inductor current before saturation. The peak inductor current can be estimated as follows.
(7)
3. Choose the Output Capacitor(s)
Organic semiconductor capacitor(s) or specialty polymer capacitor(s) are recommended. Determine ESR to meet
required ripple voltage. A quick approximation is as shown in Equation 8. This equation is based on that required
output ripple slope is approximately 20 mV per TSW(switching period) in terms of VFB terminal voltage.

•D is the duty cycle
•the required output ripple slope is approximately 20 mV per tSW(switching period) in terms of VFB terminal
voltage(8)
4. Choose the Low-Side MOSFET
It is highly recommended that the low-side MOSFET should have an integrated Schottky barrier diode, or an
external Schottky barrier diode in parallel to achieve stable operation.
Certain points must be considered before starting a layout work using the TPS51123.
•TPS51123 has only one GND pin and special care of GND trace design makes operation stable, especially
when both channels operate. Group GND terminals of output voltage divider of both channels and the VREF
capacitor as close as possible, and connect them to an inner GND plane with PowerPad and the overcurrent
setting resistor, as shown in the thin GND line of Figure 37. This trace is named Signal Ground (SGND).
Group ground terminals of VIN capacitor(s), VOUT capacitor(s) and source of low-side MOSFETs as close as
possible, and connect them to another inner GND plane with GND pin of the device and the GND terminal of
VREG3 and VREG5 capacitors, as shown in the bold GND line of Figure 37. This trace is named Power
Ground (PGND). SGND should be connected to PGND at the middle point between ground terminal of VOUT
capacitors.
•Inductor, VOUT capacitor(s), VIN capacitor(s) and MOSFETs are the power components and should be
placed on one side of the PCB (solder side). Power components of each channel should be at the same
distance from the TPS51123. Other small signal parts should be placed on another side (component side).
Inner GND planes should shield and isolate the small signal traces from noisy power lines.
•PCB trace defined as LLx node, which connects to source of high-side MOSFET, drain of low-side MOSFET
and high-voltage side of the inductor, should be as short and wide as possible.
•VREG5 requires capacitance of at least 33-μF and VREG3 requires capacitance of at most 10-μF. VREF
requires a 220-nF ceramic bypass capacitor which should be placed close to the device and traces should be
no longer than 10 mm.
•Connect the overcurrent setting resistors from TRIPx to SGND and close to the device, right next to the
device if possible.
•The discharge path (VOx) should have a dedicated trace to the output capacitor; separate from the output
voltage sensing trace. When LDO5 is switched over Vo1 trace should be 1.5 mm with no loops. When LDO3
is switched over and loaded Vo2 trace should also be 1.5 mm with no loops. There is no restriction for just
monitoring Vox. Make the feedback current setting resistor (the resistor between VFBx to SGND) close to the
device. Place on the component side and avoid vias between this resistor and the device.
•Connections from the drivers to the respective gate of the high-side or the low-side MOSFET should be as
short as possible to reduce stray inductance. Use 0.65-mm (25 mils) or wider trace and via(s) of at least 0.5
mm (20 mils) diameter along this trace.
•All sensitive analog traces and components such as VOx, VFBx, VREF, GND, EN0, TRIPx, PGOOD,
TONSEL and SKIPSEL should be placed away from high-voltage switching nodes such as LLx, DRVLx, and
DRVHx nodes to avoid coupling.
•Traces for VFB1 and VFB2 should be short and laid apart each other to avoid channel to channel
interference.
•In order to effectively remove heat from the package, prepare thermal land and solder to the package’s
thermal pad. Three by three or more vias with a 0.33-mm (13 mils) diameter connected from the thermal land
to the internal ground plane should be used to help dissipation. This thermal land underneath the package
should be connected to SGND, and should NOT be connected to PGND.
