The TPS54332 is a 28-V, 3.5-A non-synchronous
buck converter that integrates a low-R
MOSFET. To increase efficiency at light loads, a
pulse-skipping Eco-Mode feature is automatically
activated. Furthermore, the 1-μA shutdown supply
current allows the device to be used in batterypowered applications. Current mode control with
internal slope compensation simplifies the external
compensation calculations and reduces component
count while allowing the use of ceramic output
capacitors. A resistor divider programs the hysteresis
of the input undervoltage lockout. An overvoltage
transient protection circuit limits voltage overshoots
during start-up and transient conditions. A cycle-bycycle current limit scheme, frequency foldback and
thermal shutdown protect the device and the load in
the event of an overload condition. The TPS54332 is
available in an 8-pin SOIC PowerPAD™ package.

The TPS54332 is a 28-V, 3.5-A, step-down (buck) converter with an integrated high-side, N-channel MOSFET.
To improve performance during line and load transients, the device implements a constant-frequency, current
mode control, which reduces output capacitance and simplifies external frequency compensation design. The
TPS54332 has a pre-set switching frequency of 1 MHz.
The TPS54332 needs a minimum input voltage of 3.5 V to operate normally. The EN pin has an internal pullup
current source that can be used to adjust the input voltage undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with two external
resistors. In addition, the pullup current provides a default condition when the EN pin is floating for the device to
operate. The operating current is 82 μA typically when not switching and under no load. When the device is
disabled, the supply current is 1 μA typically.
The integrated 80-mΩ high-side MOSFET allows for high-efficiency power supply designs with continuous output
currents up to 3.5 A.
The TPS54332 reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode. The bias voltage
for the integrated high-side MOSFET is supplied by an external capacitor on the BOOT to PH pin. The boot
capacitor voltage is monitored by an UVLO circuit and will turn the high-side MOSFET off when the voltage falls
below a preset threshold of 2.1 V typically. The output voltage can be stepped down to as low as the reference
voltage.
By adding an external capacitor, the slow-start time of the TPS54332 can be adjustable which enables flexible
output filter selection.
To improve the efficiency at light load conditions, the TPS54332 enters a special pulse-skipping Eco-Mode when
the peak inductor current drops below 160 mA typically.
The frequency foldback reduces the switching frequency during start-up and over current conditions to help
control the inductor current. The thermal shutdown gives the additional protection under fault conditions.
The TPS54332 uses a fixed-frequency, peak-current mode control. The internal switching frequency of the
TPS54332 is fixed at 1 MHz.
7.3.2 Voltage Reference (V
ref
The voltage reference system produces a ±2% initial accuracy voltage reference (±3.5% over temperature) by
scaling the output of a temperature stable band-gap circuit. The typical voltage reference is designed at 0.8 V.
7.3.3 Bootstrap Voltage (BOOT)
The TPS54332 has an integrated boot regulator and requires a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor between the BOOT and
)
PH pin to provide the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R
grade dielectric is recommended because of the stable characteristics over temperature and voltage. To improve
dropout, the TPS54332 is designed to operate at 100% duty cycle as long as the BOOT to PH pin voltage is
greater than 2.1 V typically.
7.3.4 Enable and Adjustable Input Undervoltage Lockout (VIN UVLO)
The EN pin has an internal pullup current source that provides the default condition of the TPS54332 operating
when the EN pin floats.
The TPS54332 is disabled when the VIN pin voltage falls below internal VIN UVLO threshold. TI recommends
using an external VIN UVLO to add Hysteresis unless VIN is greater than (V
with Hysteresis, use the external circuitry connected to the EN pin as shown in Figure 11. Once the EN pin
voltage exceeds 1.25 V, an additional 3 μA of hysteresis is added. Use Equation 1 and Equation 2 to calculate
the resistor values needed for the desired VIN UVLO threshold voltages. The V

7.3.5 Programmable Slow-Start Using SS Pin
TI highly recommends programing the slow-start time externally because no slow-start time is implemented
internally. The TPS54332 effectively uses the lower voltage of the internal voltage reference or the SS pin
voltage as the power supply’s reference voltage fed into the error amplifier and will regulate the output
accordingly. A capacitor (CSS) on the SS pin-to-ground implements a slow-start time. The TPS54332 has an
internal pullup current source of 2 μA that charges the external slow-start capacitor. The equation for the slowstart time (10% to 90%) is shown in Equation 3 . The V
is 0.8V and the ISScurrent is 2 μA.
ref
(3)
The slow-start time should be set between 1 ms to 10 ms to ensure good start-up behavior. The slow-start
capacitor should be no more than 27 nF.
If during normal operation, the input voltage drops below the VIN UVLO threshold, or the EN pin is pulled below
1.25 V, or a thermal shutdown event occurs, the TPS54332 stops switching.
7.3.6 Error Amplifier
The TPS54332 has a transconductance amplifier for the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the
VSENSE voltage to the internal effective voltage reference presented at the input of the error amplifier. The
transconductance of the error amplifier is 92 μA/V during normal operation. Frequency compensation
components are connected between the COMP pin and ground.
7.3.7 Slope Compensation
In order to prevent the sub-harmonic oscillations when operating the device at duty cycles greater than 50%, the
TPS54332 adds a built-in slope compensation which is a compensating ramp to the switch current signal.
