DESCRIPTION
The TPS51220 is a dual synchronous buck regulator controller with 2 LDOs. It is optimized for 5-V/3.3-V system
controller, enabling designers to cost effectively complete 2-cell to 4-cell notebook system power supply. The
TPS51220 supports high efficiency, fast transient response and 99% duty cycle operation. It supports supply
input voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 28 V, and output voltages from 1 V to 12 V. Two types of control schemes
can be chosen depending on the application. Peak current mode supports stability operation with lower ESR
capacitor and output accuracy. The D-CAP mode supports fast transient response. The high duty (99%)
operation and the wide input/output voltage range supports flexible design for small mobile PCs and a wide
variety of other applications. The fixed frequency can be adjusted from 200 kHz to 1 MHz by a resistor, and each
channel runs 180° out of phase. The TPS51220 can also synchronize to the external clock, and the interleaving
ratio can be adjusted by its duty. The TPS51220 is available in the 32 pin 5x5 QFN package and is specified
from –40°C to 85°C.

When EN is Low, the TPS51220 is in the shutdown state. The 3.3-V LDO only stays alive, and consumes 7 μA

become enabled, and consume approximately 80 μA with no load condition, and are ready to turn on SMPS
channels. Each SMPS channel is turned on when ENx becomes High. After ENx is set to high, the TPS51220
begins softstart, and ramps up the output voltage from zero to the target voltage with 0.96 ms. However, if a
slower soft-start is required, an external capacitor can be tied from the ENx pin to GND. In this case, the

The TPS51220 supports a pre-biased start up by preventing negative inductor current during soft-start in the
condition the output capacitor has some charge. The initial DRVH signal waits until the voltage feedback signal
becomes greater than the internal reference ramping up by soft-start function. After that, the start-up manner is
the same as the way of fully discharged soft start condition. This manner is regardless of the SKIPSELx
selection.

off and the internal 5-V LDO resumes immediately
SLVS785C –OCTOBER 2007–REVISED JULY 2009
BASIC PWM OPERATIONS
The main control loop of the SMPS is designed as a fixed frequency, pulse width modulation (PWM) controller. It
supports two control schemes; a peak current mode and a proprietary D-CAP mode. Current mode achieves
stable operation in any type of capacitors including low ESR capacitor(s) such as ceramic or specialty polymer
capacitors. D-CAP mode does not require an external compensation circuit, and is suitable for relatively larger
ESR capacitor(s) configuration. These control schemes are selected with FUNC-pin; see Table 4.
CURRENT MODE
The current mode scheme uses the output voltage information and the inductor current information to regulate
the output voltage. The output voltage information is sensed by VFBx pin. The signal is compared with the
internal 1V reference and the voltage difference is amplified by a transconductance amplifier (VFB-AMP). The
inductor current information is sensed by CSPx and CSNx pins. The voltage difference is amplified by another
transconductance amplifier (CS-AMP). The output of the VFB-AMP indicates the target peak inductor current. If
the output voltage goes down, the TPS51220 increases the target inductor current to raise the output voltage, on
the other hand, if the output voltage goes up the TPS51220 decreases the target inductor current to reduce the
output voltage.
At the beginning of each clock cycle, the high-side MOSFET is turned on, or becomes ‘ON’ state. The high-side
MOSFET is turned off, or becomes OFF state, after the inductor current becomes the target value which is
determined by the combination value of the output of the VFB-AMP and a ramp compensation signal. The ramp
compensation signal is used to prevent sub-harmonic oscillation of the inductor current control loop. The highside MOSFET is turned on again at the next clock cycle. By repeating the operation in this manner, the controller
regulates the output voltage. The synchronous low-side or the rectifying MOSFET is turned on each OFF state to
keep the conduction loss minimum.
D-CAP™ MODE
With the D-CAP mode operation, the PWM comparator compares VREF2 with the combination value of the
COMP voltage, VFB-AMP output, and the ramp compensation signal. When the both signals are equal at the
peak of the voltage sense signal, the comparator provides the OFF signal to the high-side MOSFET driver.
Because the compensation network is implemented on the part and the output waveform itself is used as the
error signal, external circuit is simplified. Another advantage is its inherent fast transient response. A trade-off is
a sufficient amount of ESR required in the output capacitor. The D-CAP™ mode is suitable for relatively larger
output ripple voltage application. The inductor current information is used for the overcurrent protection and light
load operation.
The TPS51220 has a fixed frequency control scheme with 180° phase shift. The switching frequency can be
determined by an external resistor which is connected between RF pin and GND, and can be calculated using
Equation 1.
TPS51220 can also synchronize to more than 2.5-V amplitude external clock by applying the signal to the RF
pin. The set timing of channel-1 initiates at the raising edge (1.3 V typ) of the clock and channel-2 initiates at the
falling edge (1.1 V typ). Therefore, the 50% duty signal makes both channels 180° phase shift.
When the external clock synchronization is selected, the following actions are required.
•Remove RF resistor
•Add clock signal before EN1 or EN2 turning on.
TPS51220 can NOT support switching frequency change on the fly (from fSWset by RF-resistor to ex-clock, nor

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 OOA is selected, the switching frequency is kept higher than audible frequency range in any
load condition. The TPS51220 automatically reduce switching frequency at a light load condition. OOA control
circuit monitors the states of both MOSFETs and forces ON state if predetermined number of pulses are skipped.
This means that the high-side MOSFET is turned on before the output voltage declines down to the target value,
so that eventually an overvoltage condition is caused. The OOA control circuit detects this overvoltage condition
and begins modulating the skip-mode on time to keep the output voltage.
TPS51220 supports wide switching frequency range; therefore, the OOA skip mode has two selections, see
Table 2. When 300kHz switching frequency is selected, max 7 skip (SKIPSEL=3.3V) makes the lowest frequency
at 37.5kHz. If max 15 skip is chosen, it becomes 18.8kHz, hence max 7 skip is suitable for less than 400kHz,
and max 15 skip is for equal to or greater than 400kHz.
99% DUTY CYCLE OPERATION
In a low dropout condition such as 5V input to 5V output, the basic control loop tries to keep the high-side
MOSFET 100% ON as a nature. However, with N-MOSFET used for the top switch, it is not possible to use the
100% on cycle to charge the boot strap capacitor. TPS51220 detects the 100% ON condition and inserts the
OFF state at the appropriate time. When high duty is required, TPS51220 extends the ON period (skips
maximum 3 clock cycles which means fSWbecomes 1/4 of the setting number at steady state) and asserts the
OFF state after extended ON.

HIGH-SIDE DRIVER
The high-side driver is designed to drive high current, low r
represented by its internal resistance, which is 1.7Ω for VBSTx to DRVHx, and 1Ω for DRVHx to SWx. When
configured as a floating driver, 5V bias voltage is delivered from VREG5 supply. The instantaneous drive current
is supplied by the flying capacitor between VBSTx and SWx pins. The average drive current is equal to the gate
charge at Vgs = 5V times switching frequency. This gate drive current as well as the low-side gate drive current
times 5V makes the driving power which needs to be dissipated from TPS51220 package. A dead time to
prevent shoot through is internally generated between high-side MOSFET off to low-side MOSFET on, and lowside MOSFET off to high-side MOSFET on.

CURRENT SENSING SCHEME
In order to provide both good accuracy and cost effective solution, the TPS51220 supports external resistor
sensing and inductor DCR sensing. An RC network with high quality X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor should be
used to extract voltage drop across DCR. 0.1μF is a good value to start the design. CSPx and CSNx should be
connected to positive and negative terminal of the sensing device respectively. TPS51220 has an internal current
amplifier. The gain of the current amplifier, Gc, is selected by TRIP terminal. In any setting, the output signal of
the current amplifier becomes 100mV at the OCL setting point. This means that the current sensing amplifier
normalize the current information signal based on the OCL setting. Attaching a RC network recommended even
with a resistor sensing scheme to get an accurate current sensing; see the external parts selection session for
detailed configurations.
TPS51220 has cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting control. If the inductor current becomes larger than the
overcurrent trip level, TPS51220 turns off high-side MOSFET, turns on low-side MOSFET and waits for the next
clock cycle.

POWERGOOD
The TPS51220 has powergood output for both switcher channels. The powergood function is activated after
softstart has finished. If the output voltage becomes within ±5% of the target value, internal comparators detect
power good state and the powergood signal becomes high after 1ms internal delay. If the output voltage goes
outside of ±10% of the target value, the powergood signal becomes low after 1.5μs internal delay. Apply voltage
should be less than 6V and the recommended pull-up resistance value is from 100kΩ to 1MΩ.
OUTPUT DISCHARGE CONTROL
The TPS51220 discharges output when ENx is low. The TPS51220 discharges outputs using an internal
MOSFET which is connected to CSNx and GND. The current capability of these MOSFETs is limited to
discharge the output capacitor slowly. If ENx becomes high during discharge, MOSFETs are turning off, and
some output voltage remains. SMPS changes over to soft-start. PWM will begin after the target voltage
overtakes the remaining output voltage. This function can be disabled as shown in Table 3.
OVER/UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
TPS51220 monitors the output voltage to detect over and undervoltage. When the output voltage becomes 15%
higher than the target value, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit latches as the high-side
MOSFET driver OFF and the low-side MOSFET driver ON, and shuts off another channel.
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 1ms, TPS51220 latches OFF both high-side and
low-side MOSFETs, and shuts off another channel. This UVP function is enabled after soft start has completed.
OVP function can be disabled as Table 4. The procedures for restarting from these protection states are:
Control SchemeCurrent modeD-CAP modeD-CAP modeCurrent mode
UVLO PROTECTION
TPS51220 has undervoltage lock out protections (UVLO) for VREG5, VREG3 and VREF2. When the voltage is
lower than UVLO threshold voltage, TPS51220 shuts off each output as Table 5. This is non-latch protection.
TPS51220 monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value, TPS51220 shuts
off both SMPS and 5V-LDO, and decreases the VREG3 current limitation to 5 mA (typically). This is non-latch
protection.
The external components can be selected by following manner.
1. Determine output voltage dividing resistors (R1 and R2: shown in Figure 43) using the next equation
For D-CAP mode, recommended R2 value is from 10 kΩ to 20 kΩ.
2. Determine switching frequency. Higher frequency allows smaller output capacitances, however, degrade
efficiency due to increase of switching loss. Frequency setting resistor for RF-pin can be calculated by;
3. Choose the inductor. The inductance value should be determined to give the ripple current of
approximately 25% to 50% of maximum output current. Recommended ripple current rate is approximately
30% to 40% at the typical input voltage condition, next equation uses 33%.
The inductor also needs to have low DCR to achieve good efficiency, as well as enough room above peak
inductor current before saturation.
4. Determine the OCL trip voltage threshold, V
, and select the sensing resistor.

For D-CAP mode, Rgv is used for adjusting ramp compensation. 10kΩ is a good value to start design with.
6kΩ to 20kΩ can be chosen.
6. Determine output capacitance Co to achieve a stable operation using the next equation. The 0 dB frequency,
fo, should be kept under 1/3 of the switching frequency.

(14)
For D-CAP mode, fois determined by the output capacitor’s characteristics as below.

(16)
For better jitter performance, a sufficient amount of feedback signal is required at VFBx pin. The
recommended signal level is approximately 30 mV per tsw(switching period) of the ramping up rate, and
more than 4 mV of peak-to-peak voltage.
7. Calculate Cc. The purpose of this capacitance is to cancel zero caused by ESR of the output capacitor. If
ceramic capacitor(s) is used, there is no need for Cc. If a combination of different capacitors is used, attach a
RC network circuit instead of single capacitance to cancel zeros and poles caused by the output capacitors.
With single capacitance, Cc is given in Equation 17.
For D-CAP mode, basically Cc is not needed.
8. Choose MOSFETs Generally, the on resistance affects efficiency at high load conditions as conduction loss.
For a low output voltage application, the duty ratio is not high enough so that the on resistance of high-side
MOSFET does not affect efficiency; however, switching speed (trand tf) affects efficiency as switching loss.
As for low-side MOSFET, the switching loss is usually not a main portion of the total loss.

RESISTOR CURRENT SENSING
For more accurate current sensing with an external resistor, the following technique is recommended. Adding an
RC filter to cancel the parasitic inductance of resistor, this filter value is calculated using Equation 18.
This equation means time-constant of Cx and Rx should match the one of Lx (ESL) and Rs.
To use inductor DCR as current sensing resistor (Rs), the configuration needs to change as below. However, the
equation must be satisfied is the same as the one of resistor sensing.

this thermal land on the surface layer, underneath the package.
Routing (power portion)
•Use wider/ shorter traces of DRVL for low-side gate drivers to reduce stray inductance.
•Use the parallel traces of SW and DRVH for high-side MOSFET gate drive, and keep them away from DRVL.
•Connect SW trace to source terminal of the high-side MOSFET.
•Use power GND for VREG5, VIN and Vout capacitors and low-side MOSFETs. Power GND and signal GND
should be connected near the device GND terminal. (See Figure 52)

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
