The TPS51217 is a high-efficiency, single channel, synchronous buck regulator controller suitable for low output
voltage point-of-load applications in notebook computers and similar digital consumer applications. The device
features proprietary D-CAP™ mode control combined with adaptive on-time architecture. This combination is
ideal for building modern low duty ratio, ultra-fast load step response DC/DC converters. The output voltage
ranges from 0.6 V to 2.6 V. The conversion input voltage range is from 3 V to 28 V. The D-CAP™ mode uses the
ESR of the output capacitor(s) to sense current information. An advantage of this control scheme is that it does
not require an external phase compensation network, helping the designer with ease-of-use and realizing low
external component count configuration. Adaptive on-time control tracks the preset switching frequency over a
wide range of input and output voltages, while it increases the switching frequency at step-up of load.
The strong gate drivers of the TPS51217 allow low R
FETs for high current applications.
DS(on)
ENABLE AND SOFT START
When the EN pin voltage rises above the enable threshold, (typically 1.2 V) the controller enters its start-up
sequence. The first 250 μs is a standby phase. Switching is inhibited during this phase. In the second phase,
internal DAC starts ramping up the reference voltage from 0 V to 0.6 V. This ramping time is 650 μs. Smooth and
constant ramp up of the output voltage is maintained during start up regardless of load current. Connect a 1-kΩ
resistor in series with the EN pin to provide protection.
ADAPTIVE ON-TIME D-CAP™ CONTROL
TPS51217 does not have a dedicated oscillator that determines switching frequency. However, the device runs
with pseudo-constant frequency by feed-forwarding the input and output voltages into its on-time one-shot timer.
The adaptive on-time control adjusts the on-time to be inversely proportional to the input voltage and proportional
to the output voltage (tON∝ V
conditions over wide input voltage range.
The off-time is modulated by a PWM comparator. The VFB node voltage (the mid point of resistor divider) is
compared to the internal 0.6-V reference voltage added with a ramp signal. When both signals match, the PWM
comparator asserts the set signal to terminate the off-time (turn off the low-side MOSFET and turn on high-side
MOSFET). The set signal becomes valid if the inductor current level is below OCP threshold, otherwise the offtime is extended until the current level to become below the threshold.
/ VIN). This makes the switching frequency fairly constant in steady state
From small-signal loop analysis, a buck converter using D-CAP™ mode can be simplified as shown in Figure 21.
SLUS947B –JUNE 2009–REVISED APRIL 2012
Figure 21. Simplified Modulator Model
The output voltage is compared with internal reference voltage (ramp signal is ignored here for simplicity). The
PWM comparator determines the timing to turn on the high-side MOSFET. The gain and speed of the
comparator can be assumed high enough to keep the voltage at the beginning of each on cycle substantially
constant.
(1)
For loop stability, the 0-dB frequency, ƒ0, defined in Equation 2 need to be lower than 1/4 of the switching
frequency.
(2)
According to Equation 2, the loop stability of D-CAP™ mode modulator is mainly determined by the capacitor's
chemistry. For example, specialty polymer capacitors (SP-CAP) have COon the order of several 100 μF and
ESR in range of 10 mΩ. These makes f0on the order of 100 kHz or less and the loop is stable. However,
ceramic capacitors have an ƒ0of more than 700 kHz, which is not suitable for this modulator.
RAMP SIGNAL
The TPS51217 adds a ramp signal to the 0.6-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 jittery and more stable. The ramp signal is
controlled to start with –6 mV at the beginning of ON-cycle and becomes 0 mV at the end of OFF-cycle in
continuous conduction steady state.
The TPS51217 automatically reduces switching frequency at light load conditions to maintain high efficiency. As
the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually
comes to the point that its rippled valley touches zero level, 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 decreases, the converter runs in to discontinuous conduction
mode. The on-time is kept almost the same as it was in the continuous conduction mode so that it takes longer
time to discharge the output capacitor with smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage. The
transition point to the light load operation I
(i.e., the threshold between continuous and discontinuous
O(LL)
conduction mode) can be calculated in Equation 3.

ADAPTIVE ZERO CROSSING
The TPS51217 has an adaptive zero crossing circuit which performs optimization of the zero inductor current
detection at skip mode operation. This function pursues ideal low-side MOSFET turning off timing and
compensates inherent offset voltage of the ZC comparator and delay time of the ZC detection circuit. It prevents
SW-node swing-up caused by too late detection and minimizes diode conduction period caused by too early
detection. As a result, better light load efficiency is delivered.

OUTPUT DISCHARGE CONTROL
When EN is low, the TPS51217 discharges the output capacitor using internal MOSFET connected between SW
and GND while high-side and low-side MOSFETs are kept off. The current capability of this MOSFET 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 1.0Ω for V5IN to DRVL and 0.5Ω for DRVL to GND. A dead time
to prevent shoot through is internally generated between high-side MOSFET off to low-side MOSFET on, and
low-side MOSFET off to high-side MOSFET on. 5-V bias voltage is delivered from V5IN supply. The
instantaneous drive current is supplied by an input capacitor connected between V5IN and GND. The average
drive current is equal to the gate charge at Vgs=5V times switching frequency. This gate drive current as well as
the high-side gate drive current times 5V makes the driving power which need to be dissipated from TPS51217

capacitor between VBST and SW pins. The drive capability is represented by its internal resistance, which are
The TPS51217 has powergood output that indicates high when switcher output is within the target. The
powergood function is activated after soft-start has finished. If the output voltage becomes within +10%/–5% of
the target value, internal comparators detect power-good state and the power-good signal becomes high after a
1-ms internal delay. If the output voltage goes outside of +15%/–10% of the target value, the powergood signal
becomes low after a 2-μs internal delay. The powergood output is an open-drain output and must be pulled up
externally.
CURRENT SENSE AND OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
TPS51217 has cycle-by-cycle overcurrent 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 overcurrent trip level. To
provide both good accuracy and cost effective solution, the TPS51217 supports temperature compensated

In an overcurrent condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor thus the output
voltage tends to fall down. Eventually, it crosses the undervoltage protection threshold and shuts down the
controller.
When the device is operating in the forced continuous conduction mode, the negative current limit (NCL) protects
the external FET from carrying too much current. The NCL detect threshold is set as the same absolute value as
positive OCL but negative polarity. Note that the forced continuous conduction mode appears only during the
Dynamic Voltage Step operation, and the threshold still represents the valley value of the inductor current.
OVER/UNDER VOLTAGE PROTECTION
TPS51217 monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect over and undervoltage. When the feedback
voltage becomes higher than 120% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit
latches as the high-side MOSFET driver OFF and the low-side MOSFET driver ON.
When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 70% of the target voltage, the UVP comparator output goes
high and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After a 1-ms delay, TPS51217 latches OFF both highside and low-side MOSFETs drivers. This function is enabled after 1.2 ms following EN has become high.
DYNAMIC VOLTAGE STEP and PGOOD/OVP/UVP MASK
Output voltage of switcher can be dynamically step-up or step-down by controlling bottom resistance of the
output voltage divider. The simplest way is to add a MOSFET switch plus a resistor in parallel with the bottom
resistor. When the MOSFET switch is turned on, the VFB voltage is immediately dropped and comes back
equivalent to the internal reference voltage as the output voltage climbs up to match the new target. If the voltage
step is large, it may cause PGOOD state into 'bad' and also may hit UVP. In the case of voltage step-down, the
same PGOOD bad and OVP hit may happen. TRAN pin helps masking PGOOD, UVP and OVP during the
voltage transition. Combination of weighted capacitances C2 and C3 detect transition of VIDx (Figure 22).
Masking of PGOOD, OVP and UVP start when the TRAN pin voltage goes outside of its window comparator
threshold. At this time, TRAN pin also starts sink or source current. 900μsec after TRAN pin voltage recovers
within the threshold window, PGOOD, OVP and UVP are released from masking. The TRAN pin operation is
useful for graphics power applications such that switcher output voltage needs to be changed dynamically. At the
transition of output voltage, inductor current has a chance to hit over current limit (OCL) to quickly charge the
output capacitor, which may cause output voltage undershoot or overshoot. Capacitance C1 in parallel with the
top resistor slows down transition slew rate and prevent from hitting OCL. Time constant of the transition is
R1 × C1. From 3.3 V to 5 V is recommended for VIDx input amplitude.

UVLO PROTECTION
TPS51217 has V5IN undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO). When the V5IN voltage is lower than UVLO
threshold voltage, the switch mode power supply shuts off. This is non-latch protection.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
TPS51217 monitors the die temperature. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 145°C), the
TPS51217 is shut off. This is non-latch protection.
Selecting external components is simple in D-CAP™ mode.
1. 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.
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 in Equation 7.
2. Choose the output capacitor(s).
Organic semiconductor capacitor(s) or specialty polymer capacitor(s) are recommended. For loop stability,
capacitance and ESR should satisfy Equation 2. For jitter performance, Equation 8 is a good starting point to
determine ESR.

on one side of the PCB (solder side). Other small signal components should be placed on another side
(component side). At least one inner plane should be inserted, connected to ground, in order to shield and
isolate the small signal traces from noisy power lines.
•All sensitive analog traces and components such as VFB, PGOOD, TRIP and TRAN should be placed away
from high-voltage switching nodes such as SW, DRVL, DRVH or VBST to avoid coupling. Use internal
layer(s) as ground plane(s) and shield feedback trace from power traces and components.
•The DC/DC converter has several high-current loops. The area of these loops should be minimized in order to
suppress generating switching noise.
– The most important loop to minimize the area of is the path from the VINcapacitor(s) through the high and
low-side MOSFETs, and back to the capacitor(s) through ground. Connect the negative node of the V
capacitor(s) and the source of the low-side MOSFET at ground as close as possible. (See loop #1 of

– The third important loop is of gate driving system for the low-side MOSFET. To turn on the low-side
MOSFET, high current flows from V5IN capacitor through gate driver and the low-side MOSFET, and back
to negative node of the capacitor through ground. To turn off the low-side MOSFET, high current flows
from gate of the low-side MOSFET through the gate driver and GND pad of the device, and back to
source of the low-side MOSFET through ground. Connect negative node of V5IN capacitor, source of the
low-side MOSFET and GND pad of the device at ground as close as possible. (See loop #3 of Figure 24)
