DESCRIPTION
As a member of the SWIFT™ family of DC/DC
regulators, the TPS5430/TPS5431 is a
high-output-current PWM converter that integrates a
low resistance high side N-channel MOSFET.
Included on the substrate with the listed features are
a high performance voltage error amplifier that
provides tight voltage regulation accuracy under
transient conditions; an undervoltage-lockout circuit
to prevent start-up until the input voltage reaches
5.5 V; an internally set slow-start circuit to limit inrush
currents; and a voltage feed-forward circuit to
improve the transient response. Using the ENA pin,
shutdown supply current is reduced to 18 µ A
typically. Other features include an active-high
enable, overcurrent limiting, overvoltage protection
and thermal shutdown. To reduce design complexity
and external component count, the
TPS5430/TPS5431 feedback loop is internally
compensated. The TPS5431 is intended to operate
from power rails up to 23 V. The TPS5430 regulates
a wide variety of power sources including 24-V bus.
The TPS5430/TPS5431 device is available in a
thermally enhanced, easy to use 8-pin SOIC
PowerPAD™ package. TI provides evaluation
modules and the SWIFT™ Designer software tool to

APPLICATION INFORMATION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Oscillator Frequency
The internal free running oscillator sets the PWM switching frequency at 500 kHz. The 500 kHz switching
frequency allows less output inductance for the same output ripple requirement resulting in a smaller output
inductor.
Voltage Reference
The voltage reference system produces a precision reference signal by scaling the output of a temperature
stable bandgap circuit. The bandgap and scaling circuits are trimmed during production testing to an output of
1.221 V at room temperature.
Enable (ENA) and Internal Slow Start
The ENA pin provides electrical on/off control of the regulator. Once the ENA pin voltage exceeds the threshold
voltage, the regulator starts operation and the internal slow start begins to ramp. If the ENA pin voltage is pulled
below the threshold voltage, the regulator stops switching and the internal slow start resets. Connecting the pin
to ground or to any voltage less than 0.5 V will disable the regulator and activate the shutdown mode. The
quiescent current of the TPS5430/TPS5431 in shutdown mode is typically 18 µ A.
The ENA pin has an internal pullup current source, allowing the user to float the ENA pin. If an application
requires controlling the ENA pin, use open drain or open collector output logic to interface with the pin. To limit
the start-up inrush current, an internal slow-start circuit is used to ramp up the reference voltage from 0 V to its
final value, linearly. The internal slow start time is 8 ms typically.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The TPS5430/TPS5431 incorporates an undervoltage lockout circuit to keep the device disabled when VIN (the
input voltage) is below the UVLO start voltage threshold. During power up, internal circuits are held inactive and
the internal slow start is grouded until VIN exceeds the UVLO start threshold voltage. Once the UVLO start
threshold voltage is reached, the internal slow start is released and device start-up begins. The device operates
until VIN falls below the UVLO stop threshold voltage. The typical hysteresis in the UVLO comparator is 330
mV.
Boost Capacitor (BOOT)
Connect a 0.01 µ F low-ESR ceramic capacitor between the BOOT pin and PH pin. This capacitor provides the
gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. X7R or X5R grade dielectrics are recommended due to their
stable values over temperature.
Output Feedback (VSENSE) and Internal Compensation
The output voltage of the regulator is set by feeding back the center point voltage of an external resistor divider
network to the VSENSE pin. In steady-state operation, the VSENSE pin voltage should be equal to the voltage
reference 1.221 V.
The TPS5430/TPS5431 implements internal compensation to simplify the regulator design. Since the
TPS5430/TPS5431 uses voltage mode control, a type 3 compensation network has been designed on chip to
provide a high crossover frequency and a high phase margin for good stability. See the Internal Compensation
Network in the applications section for more details.
Voltage Feed Forward
The internal voltage feed forward provides a constant dc power stage gain despite any variations with the input
voltage. This greatly simplifies the stability analysis and improves the transient response. Voltage feed forward
varies the peak ramp voltage inversely with the input voltage so that the modulator and power stage gain are
constant at the feed forward gain, i.e.
The typical feed forward gain of TPS5430/TPS5431 is 25.
Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) Control
The regulator employs a fixed frequency pulse-width-modulator (PWM) control method. First, the feedback
voltage (VSENSE pin voltage) is compared to the constant voltage reference by the high gain error amplifier and
compensation network to produce a error voltage. Then, the error voltage is compared to the ramp voltage by
the PWM comparator. In this way, the error voltage magnitude is converted to a pulse width which is the duty
cycle. Finally, the PWM output is fed into the gate drive circuit to control the on-time of the high-side MOSFET.
Overcurrent Limiting
Overcurrent limiting is implemented by sensing the drain-to-source voltage across the high-side MOSFET. The
drain to source voltage is then compared to a voltage level representing the overcurrent threshold limit. If the
drain-to-source voltage exceeds the overcurrent threshold limit, the overcurrent indicator is set true. The system
will ignore the overcurrent indicator for the leading edge blanking time at the beginning of each cycle to avoid
any turn-on noise glitches.
Once overcurrent indicator is set true, overcurrent limiting is triggered. The high-side MOSFET is turned off for
the rest of the cycle after a propagation delay. The overcurrent limiting mode is called cycle-by-cycle current
limiting.

SLVS632C – JANUARY 2006 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2006
APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Sometimes under serious overload conditions such as short-circuit, the overcurrent runaway may still happen
when using cycle-by-cycle current limiting. A second mode of current limiting is used, i.e. hiccup mode
overcurrent limiting. During hiccup mode overcurrent limiting, the voltage reference is grounded and the
high-side MOSFET is turned off for the hiccup time. Once the hiccup time duration is complete, the regulator
restarts under control of the slow start circuit.
Overvoltage Protection
The TPS5430/TPS5431 has an overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit to minimize voltage overshoot when
recovering from output fault conditions. The OVP circuit includes an overvoltage comparator to compare the
VSENSE pin voltage and a threshold of 112.5% x VREF. Once the VSENSE pin voltage is higher than the
threshold, the high-side MOSFET will be forced off. When the VSENSE pin voltage drops lower than the
threshold, the high-side MOSFET will be enabled again.
Thermal Shutdown
The TPS5430/TPS5431 protects itself from overheating with an internal thermal shutdown circuit. If the junction
temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown trip point, the voltage reference is grounded and the high-side
MOSFET is turned off. The part is restarted under control of the slow start circuit automatically when the junction
temperature drops 14 ° C below the thermal shutdown trip point.
PCB Layout
Connect a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor to the VIN pin. Care should be taken to minimize the loop area
formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the VIN pin, and the TPS5430/TPS5431 ground pin. The best way
to do this is to extend the top side ground area from under the device adjacent to the VIN trace, and place the
bypass capacitor as close as possible to the VIN pin. The minimum recommended bypass capacitance is 4.7 µ F
ceramic with a X5R or X7R dielectric.
There should be a ground area on the top layer directly underneath the IC, with an exposed area for connection
to the PowerPAD. Use vias to connect this ground area to any internal ground planes. Use additional vias at the
ground side of the input and output filter capacitors as well. The GND pin should be tied to the PCB ground by
connecting it to the ground area under the device as shown below.
The PH pin should be routed to the output inductor, catch diode and boot capacitor. Since the PH connection is
the switching node, the inductor should be located very close to the PH pin and the area of the PCB conductor
minimized to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. The catch diode should also be placed close to the device
to minimize the output current loop area. Connect the boot capacitor between the phase node and the BOOT pin
as shown. Keep the boot capacitor close to the IC and minimize the conductor trace lengths. The component
placements and connections shown work well, but other connection routings may also be effective.
Connect the output filter capacitor(s) as shown between the VOUT trace and GND. It is important to keep the
loop formed by the PH pin, Lout, Cout and GND as small as is practical.
Connect the VOUT trace to the VSENSE pin using the resistor divider network to set the output voltage. Do not
route this trace too close to the PH trace. Due to the size of the IC package and the device pin-out, the trace
may need to be routed under the output capacitor. Alternately, the routing may be done on an alternate layer if a
trace under the output capacitor is not desired.
If using the grounding scheme shown in Figure 9 , use a via connection to a different layer to route to the ENA
pin.
