ZHCSEW7A DECEMBER 2015REVISED APRIL 2016  
7 Detailed Description  
7.1 Overview  
The TPS54A20 is a 14-V, 10-A, synchronous series capacitor step-down (buck) converter with four integrated N-  
channel MOSFETs. To improve performance during line and load transients the TPS54A20 implements an  
adaptive on-time control scheme which does not require external compensation components. The selectable  
switching frequencies are 2 MHz, 3.5 MHz, or 5 MHz per phase which allows for efficiency and size optimization  
when selecting the output filter components. A resistor to ground on the TON pin sets the nominal high side  
switch on-time based on the desired output voltage.  
The TPS54A20 contains an internal oscillator for steady-state, fixed frequency operation that is set through the  
SS/FSEL pin. The controller operates at twice the per phase switching frequency (that is, 4 MHz, 7 MHz, or 10  
MHz) and the oscillator is set accordingly. An external synchronization clock can also be provided via the SYNC  
pin.  
The TPS54A20 starts up safely into loads with pre-biased outputs (non-zero volts at startup). The device  
implements an internal under voltage lockout (UVLO) feature on the VIN pin with a nominal starting voltage of  
7.65 V. The total operating current for the TPS54A20 is approximately 6 mA when not switching and under no  
load. When the TPS54A20 is disabled by pulling the EN pin low, the supply current is typically less than 50 µA.  
The integrated MOSFETs allow for high-efficiency, high-density power supply designs with continuous output  
currents up to 10 A. The MOSFETs are sized to optimize efficiency for low duty cycle applications operating  
around 2 MHz per phase switching frequency.  
The TPS54A20 reduces the external component count by integrating the bootstrap recharge circuit. Capacitors  
connected between the BOOTA/BOOTB and SCAP/SWB pins (respectively) supply the gate drive voltage for the  
integrated high-side MOSFETs. The output voltage can be stepped down to as low as the 0.5-V voltage  
reference (VREF).  
The TPS54A20 has a power good comparator (PGOOD) which monitors the output voltage through the FB pin.  
The PGOOD pin is an open-drain MOSFET which is pulled low when the FB pin voltage is less than 95% or  
greater than 105% of the reference voltage (VREF). The PGOOD pin floats (de-asserted) when the FB pin voltage  
is between 95% to 105% of VREF. The PGOOD pin is held low during startup or when a fault occurs.  
The EN pin is used to provide power supply sequencing during power up. Soft start times for each frequency can  
be selected through the SS/FSEL pin. Soft start helps to minimize inrush currents.  
The device current limit can be set via the ILIM pin. Two selectable current limits are provided.  
The control scheme implemented is an adaptive on-time control. The on-time is adjusted based on input voltage  
and oscillator frequency. An internal phase lock loop (PLL) ensures fixed-frequency operation of the converter  
over the entire load range and adapts the on-time accordingly.

7.3 Feature Description  
7.3.1 Frequency Selection  
The oscillator frequency of this converter can be selected to be one of three options: 4, 7, or 10 MHz. The per  
phase switching frequency of the converter is half the oscillator frequency (that is, 2, 3.5, or 5 MHz per phase).  
The internal oscillator frequency is selected by programming the SS/FSEL pin. The resistor programming  
information is shown in 1. The frequency setting is latched in at power up and cannot be changed during  
operation. Cycling the input power or the EN pin will reset the frequency setting.  
7.3.2 External Clock Syncronization  
An external clock can be connected to the SYNC pin. The external clock signal overrides the internal oscillator  
and is used as the system clock. This feature enables the user to synchronize the switching events to a master  
clock on their board and reduce/manage the ripple on the input capacitors. The internal phase locked loop (PLL)  
has been implemented to allow synchronization at frequencies between ±10% of the nominal oscillator frequency  
programmed on the SS/FSEL pin. This allows the user to easily switch from the internal oscillator mode to the  
external clock mode. Before the external clock is present or after it is removed, the device with default to the  
internal oscillator setting as programmed on the SS/FSEL pin.  
To implement the synchronization feature, connect a square wave clock signal to the SYNC pin with a duty cycle  
between 20% and 80%. The clock signal amplitude must transition lower than 0.8 V and higher than 2 V. The  
start of the switching cycle is synchronized to the rising edge of the SYNC pin. The device can be configured for  
operation in applications where both an internal oscillator mode and an external synchronization clock mode are  
needed. Before the external clock is present, the device functions with the internal oscillator and the switching

Feature Description (接下页)  
frequency is set by the RSS/FSEL resistor. When the external clock is present, the SYNC mode overrides the  
internal oscillator. The first time the SYNC pin is pulled above the SYNC high threshold (2 V), the device  
switches from the internal oscillator mode to the SYNC mode and the PLL starts to lock onto the frequency of the  
external clock. When the external SYNC clock is removed, the converter will transition back to the internal  
oscillator after 4 internal clock cycles.  
7.3.3 Adjusting the Output Voltage  
The output voltage is set by connecting a resistor divider network from the output voltage to the FB pin of the  
device and to AGND. It is recommended that the lower divider resistor maintain a range between 1 kΩ and 10  
kΩ. To change the output voltage of a design, it is necessary to select the value of the upper resistor. 公式 2 can  
be used to select the upper resistor. Selecting the value of the upper resistor can change the output voltage  
between 0.508 V and 2 V. The minimum output setpoint voltage cannot be less than the reference voltage of  
0.508 V. The maximum output voltage can be limited by minimum input voltage as shown in 24. The  
recommended minimum input voltage should be at least five times the output voltage as shown in 25. This is  
due to the nature of the series capacitor buck converter.  
7.3.4 Soft Start  
Soft start is an important feature that limits current inrush into the converter and reduces the load on the bus  
converter that supplies this device. During soft start, the internal reference voltage is slowly ramped up to the  
nominal internal reference voltage (~0.5 V). This slowly increases the commanded output voltage of the  
converter and reduces the initial surge in current. PGOOD remains low during soft start, the PLL is not active,  
and output UVP/OVP faults are disabled. After the soft start interval is complete, the converter operates with  
normal operating conditions and PGOOD will no longer be held low when the output is within bounds.  
Soft-start time is programmed with an external resistor on SS/FSEL pin (or by shorting to ground or by leaving  
the pin open). There are multiple soft-start time options per operating frequency available to the user through the  
SS/FSEL pin. The soft-start setting is latched in at power up or when the EN pin voltage is set high. Resistors  
used for programing the SS/FSEL pin must have ±1% or lower tolerance. The following frequencies and soft start  
times can be programmed on the SS/FSEL pin.

7.3.5 Startup into Pre-biased Outputs  
The device prevents the low-side MOSFETs from discharging a pre-biased output. During pre-biased startup, the  
low-side MOSFETs do not turn on until after the phase A high-side MOSFET has started switching. The high-  
side MOSFETs do not start switching until the internal soft-start reference voltage exceeds the voltage at the FB  
pin. It is required to first apply the gate driver supply voltage (VG+) before starting up into pre-biased loads.  
Alternatively, 6.8 µF bypass capacitance or more can be used.

7.3.6 Power Good (PGOOD)  
The Power Good (PGOOD) pin is an open drain output. After startup when the FB pin is typically between 95%  
and 105% of the internal voltage reference, the PGOOD pin pull-down is de-asserted and the pin floats. It is  
recommended to use a pullup resistor between the values of 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ to a voltage source that is 5.5 V  
or less. The PGOOD is in a defined state once the VIN input voltage is greater than approximately 1.2 V but with  
reduced current sinking capability. The PGOOD achieves full current sinking capability once the VIN input  
voltage is above the input UVLO. The PGOOD pin is pulled low when the FB pin voltage is typically lower than  
95% or greater than 105% of the nominal internal reference voltage. A resistor-capacitor (RC) filter can be  
connected to the PGOOD pin to filter out PGOOD being pulled low during large load transients if low output  
capacitance is used. The PGOOD pin is also pulled low if a fault is detected, the EN pin is pulled low, or the  
converter is performing its soft-start power up sequence.  
7.3.7 Overcurrent Protection  
The device protects itself from an overcurrent condition by a current limit detector. The device senses inductor  
currents using the low side MOSFETs. After three sequential overcurrent measurements are made (in phase A  
or B), the over current flag is triggered, the converter switches are turned off, and PGOOD is pulled low. The  
converter attempts to restart after a hiccup interval counter has expired (that is, 32.8 ms, 18.7 ms, or 13.1 ms  
when in 4 MHz, 7 MHz, or 10 MHz mode, respectively). This provides a hiccup response to an overcurrent  
condition.  
The two overcurrent trip points are based on two full load applications of 7.5 A or 10 A. The overcurrent trip  
points correspond to the load demanding 1.5 times the full load current (11.25 A and 15 A, respectively). This  
provides enough margin for brief overshoots in inductor currents during a load transient while at the same time  
protecting against short circuits or other potentially catastrophic faults on the output. The table below lists the  
resistor values for programming the ILIM pin to select the desired overcurrent limit. Programming resistors with  
up to ±5% variation can be used. The current limit selection is latched in at power up and cannot be changed  
without cycling power input or the EN pin voltage.

7.3.8 Light Load Operation  
The converter operates in forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) under light load conditions. When  
operating in FCCM, the high side and low side MOSFETs are turned on and off in a complementary fashion and  
negative inductor current is allowed for part of the switching cycle. The switching frequency remains constant in  
FCCM.  
7.3.9 Output Undervoltage/Overvoltage Protection  
The device incorporates an output undervoltage/overvoltage protection (UVP/OVP) circuit to prevent damage to  
the load. This fault can be triggered during large, fast load transients if insufficient output capacitance is used.  
The UVP/OVP feature compares the FB pin voltage to internal thresholds. If the FB pin voltage is lower than  
90% or greater than 110% of the nominal internal reference voltage, the converter is turned off (i.e. power  
MOSFETs are turned OFF), a fault is triggered, and the PGOOD pin is pulled low. When the fault hiccup interval  
is complete, the converter will attempt to restart.  
7.3.10 Input Undervoltage/Overvoltage Lockout  
The device incorporates an input undervoltage/overvoltage lockout (UVLO/OVLO) circuit. The converter will not  
operate if the input voltage is below the UVLO threshold. The OVLO circuit protects the converter if the input bus  
voltage flies higher than the input voltage rating of the device while it is switching. When the input voltage  
crosses the input rising OVLO trip threshold, the converter turns off all the switches (makes them high  
impedance) and PGOOD is pulled low. When the input voltage drops lower than the falling OVLO threshold, the  
converter restarts using the normal soft-start sequence. This feature increases the maximum input voltage the  
device can sustain without being damaged due to a fault in the system.

7.3.11 Enable and Adjusting Undervoltage Lockout  
The EN pin provides electrical on and off control of the device. Once the EN pin voltage exceeds the threshold  
voltage, the device starts operation. If the EN pin voltage is pulled below the threshold voltage, the regulator  
stops switching and enters a low power state. There is no voltage hysteresis in the EN threshold. The rising and  
falling voltage thresholds occur at the same level.  
The EN pin has an internal hysteretic current source. This allows the user to float the EN pin for self-enabling the  
device or to design the ON and OFF threshold input voltages with a resistor divider at the EN pin. If an  
application requires controlling the EN pin, use open drain or open collector output logic to interface with the pin.  
The EN pin can be configured as shown in 42. The EN pin has a 1 µA pull-up current iP which sets the current  
source value before the start-up sequence. The device includes the second 3 µA current source iH which is  
activated when the EN threshold voltage has been exceeded. To achieve clean transitions between the OFF and  
ON states, it is recommended that the turn OFF threshold is no less than 7.75 V, and the turn ON threshold is no  
less than 8 V on the VIN pin. It is also recommended to set the UVLO hysteresis to be greater than 500mV in  
order to avoid repeated chatter during start up or shut down. The value of REN(TOP) and REN(BOT) can be  
calculated using 公式 18 and 公式 19 as described in the applications section.  
42. Adjustable VIN Undervoltage Lockout  
7.3.12 Series Capacitor Monitoring  
The series capacitor voltage is preconditioned and monitored during operation. The series capacitor is located  
between the source of the high-side MOSFET and the drain of the low-side MOSFET in Phase A . After the input  
voltage is above UVLO and the EN pin is high, the series capacitor is precharged. A 10 mA current source  
charges the series capacitor up to half the input voltage. When the series capacitor precharge is complete, the  
soft start sequence begins. The delay due series capacitor precharge can be calculated using 公式 1.  
Ct x VIN  
=
tpc  
2 x Ipc  
(1)  
Here Ct is the series capacitance, Ipc is the precharge current, and VIN is the input voltage.  
The voltage monitor is continuously tracking the status of the series capacitor. Its function is to ensure the series  
capacitor voltage, measured differentially between the SCAP pin and the SWA pin, stays within predefined  
thresholds. These thresholds are relative to the VIN voltage with respect to PGND and set at 35% and 65% of  
VIN. If the voltage monitor indicates a voltage outside of these thresholds has occurred, a fault is triggered and  
following actions are taken based on which threshold has been crossed.  
7.3.12.1 Dropping Below 35% Threshold  
The 35% of VIN threshold detects a series capacitor undervoltage fault. Once the 35% threshold is breached, a  
fault is triggered, the converter shuts down, and PGOOD is pulled low. After the fault hiccup time is complete, the  
converter will start up in the normal manner. The start up sequence begins with pre-charging the series capacitor  
to half the input voltage and is followed by the soft start.

7.3.12.2 Rising Above 65% Threshold  
The 65% of VIN threshold indicates a series capacitor overvoltage fault has occurred. Once the 65% threshold is  
breached, a fault is triggered, the converter shuts down, PGOOD is pulled low, and an internal bleed resistor is  
connected to the SCAP to reduce the series capacitor voltage. After the fault hiccup time is complete, the  
converter will start up in the normal manner.  
7.3.13 Thermal Shutdown  
The die temperature is continuously monitored to ensure it is within limits. The thermal shutdown (TSD) fault is  
triggered when the die temperature exceeds the rising temperature threshold. This interrupts switching by making  
the switches high impedance. The fault state persists until the die temperature cools down to below the falling  
temperature threshold. The converter then automatically goes through the normal soft start sequence.  
7.3.14 Phase A Power Stage  
Phase A implements a bootstrap driver for the high-side MOSFET, an LDO, a low-side driver and a low-side  
current monitor. Additional logic is included to implement deadtime control and overcurrent protection.  
An LDO is implemented to manage the high-side bootstrap driver. This LDO is unique to this topology given the  
high-side driver is referenced to the SCAP pin and not to the conventional switch node of a buck converter. A  
conventional bootstrap circuit will not work because the SCAP pin is never connected to PGND during operation.  
The LDO is designed to produce an output voltage at the VGA pin. This allows a nominal enhancement of  
around 5V about the VIN rail. The bootstrap capacitor charges when the phase A low side switch is on. An  
external decoupling capacitor is required on the VGA pin.  
The low-side MOSFET current is monitored using a sense FET configuration. This circuit enables the driver to  
monitor the current delivered in Phase A for overcurrent protection. In the case of overcurrent, a fault flag is set if  
the current detected exceeds the current limit threshold. Adjustment of this threshold is accomplished via  
programming the ILIM pin.  
7.3.15 Phase B Power Stage  
Phase B implements a bootstrap driver for the high-side MOSFET, a low-side driver and a low-side current  
monitor. Additional logic is included to implement deadtime control and overcurrent protection.  
No additional LDO function is required for Phase B as the bootstrap capacitor is charged directly from the VG  
input rail. A conventional bootstrap circuit is used in phase B.  
The overcurrent protection operates in the same manner as Phase A.  
7.3.16 Internal Gate Drive Regulator  
There is an internal linear regulator that generates a 4.8 V supply rail on the VG+ pin. The input comes from the  
VIN pin. The VG+ supply rail is used to power the gate drivers of phase A low side switch and phase B switches.  
It also is the input to another regulator that generates the internal supply rails used by the controller. To improve  
converter efficiency, an external 5V supply is recommended to be connected to the VG+ pin, thereby overriding  
the internal 4.8 V regulator. The VG+ supply requires external decoupling capacitance connected between the  
VG+ and VG- pins. The VG- pin must be connected to AGND and PGND. It is recommended to make this  
connection directly beneath the device.  
7.3.17 Voltage Feed Forward  
The input voltage feed forward (VFF) circuit adapts the nominal on-time of the converter in response to changes  
in the input voltage. The VFF provides a control signal to the on-time generator based on the value of the resistor  
placed on the TON pin and the input voltage.  
7.3.18 Internal Oscillator  
The internal oscillator provides a default system clock for the converter. The oscillator can be programmed to run  
at 4 MHz, 7 MHz, or 10 MHz depending on the resistor connected to the SS/FSEL pin. Synchronization to an  
external clock is allowed. If provided, an external synchronization clock signal is passed through to the oscillator  
block and bypasses internal oscillator.

7.3.19 Pulse Frequency Detector  
The pulse frequency detector is an important block used to create a phase lock loop (PLL). This portion of the  
PLL accepts two clock signals and delivers a control signal. The PLL control is held inactive during startup and is  
activated once soft start is complete. The control signal is delivered to the on-time generator to make small  
adjustments in the on-time such that the frequency and phase of the switching signals match the reference clock  
(internal or external SYNC).  
7.3.20 On-Time Generator  
The on-time generator provides the on-time pulse for high side switches of the converter. The nominal on-time is  
programmed from the TON pin. The control signal generated by the VFF circuit is proportional to the on-time  
required by the converter and is adjusted for input voltage variation. Fine adjustment of the on-time comes from  
pulse frequency detector which enables fixed frequency operation in steady state.

8 Application and Implementation  
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component  
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are  
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should  
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.  
8.1 Application Information  
The TPS54A20 is a two-phase, synchronous series capacitor buck converter optimized for small size, low  
voltage applications from a 12 V input rail. See (SLVA750) for a more detailed introduction to the series capacitor  
buck converter topology.  
8.1.1 Two-Phase Series Capacitor Buck Converter Topology  
The series capacitor buck converter topology uniquely merges a switched capacitor converter and a buck  
converter. Only one extra capacitor (the series capacitor) is needed as compared to a conventional two-phase  
buck converter. Advantages include automatic current balancing between the inductors (inductor current sensing  
and a current sharing loop are not required), lower switching losses which enable high frequency (HF) operation,  
and voltage step-down through the series capacitor. The on-time of both high side switches is double that of a  
regular buck converter. This is particularly helpful in high frequency, high conversion ratio applications. The  
schematic of the converter topology and the converter switch states are shown below.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
8.2.2.1 Output Voltage  
Before beginning design, ensure that the series capacitor buck converter can be used in the application. It is  
recommended to use this converter when the minimum input voltage is at least five times greater than the target  
output voltage. If this recommendation is not followed, output voltage dropout can occur at heavy load conditions  
and poor transient response to load increases can result.  
The output voltage is set by connecting a resistor divider network from the output voltage to the FB pin of the  
device and to AGND. It is recommended that the lower divider resistor maintain a range between 1 kΩ and 10  
kΩ. To change the output voltage of a design, it is necessary to select the value of the upper resistor. The value  
of RTOP for a specific output voltage can be calculated using 公式 2.  
R(BOT)x VOUT - VREF  
(
VREF  
)
R(TOP)  
=
(2)  
For the example design, 1 kΩ was selected for RBOT (R7). Using 公式 2, RTOP (R9) is calculated as 1.4 kΩ. It is  
recommended to use resistors with ±1% or less variation.  
A capacitor can be connected in parallel with the upper resistor to provide additional phase boost near the  
converter's crossover frequency. See (SLVA289) for more details and design guidelines. For this design, 330 pF  
in series with 100 Ω is used. The values were optimized based on measured loop performance.  
8.2.2.2 Switching Frequency  
A key design step is to decide on a switching frequency for the regulator. There is a tradeoff between higher and  
lower switching frequencies. Higher switching frequencies may produce a smaller solution size using lower  
valued inductors and smaller output capacitors compared to a power supply that switches at a lower frequency.  
However, the higher switching frequency creates extra switching loss, which reduces the converter’s efficiency  
and thermal performance. In this design, a moderate switching frequency of 2 MHz per phase is selected to  
achieve both a small solution size and a high efficiency operation. Refer to 1 for the SS/FSEL programming  
resistor selection.  
8.2.2.3 On-Time  
The TON pin requires a resistor to set the nominal on-time and to support the input voltage feedforward circuit.  
The resistance value used also influences the internal ramp in the controller. As a starting point, 公式 3 is  
recommended for selecting the TON resistor.  
R(TON) = 3 k + 15 k x VOUT  
(3)  
The RTON resistor (R5) is calculated to be 21 kΩ. The selected value for this design example is 22.1 kΩ. During  
startup, the converter uses the nominal on-time programmed through TON. The phase lock loop (PLL) is only  
activated after startup is complete. When the PLL is engaged, the on-time is adjusted. If the nominal on-time  
programmed through the TON pin is not close to the on-time when the PLL is engaged, the SYNC range of the  
device may be reduced. The TON resistor can also be adjusted to tune the controller. Lowering the RTON value  
will increase the internal ramp height. This will reduce the converter’s sensitivity to noise and jitter but it will also  
reduce the transient response capabilities of the converter.  
8.2.2.4 Inductor Selection  
To calculate the value of the output inductors, use 公式 4. KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of  
inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output  
capacitor. In general, the inductor ripple value is at the discretion of the designer; however, KIND is normally from  
0.1 to 0.4 for the majority of applications.  
2 x VOUT x VIN(MAX) - 2 x VOUT  
(
K(IND) x IOUT x VIN(MAX) x F  
)
L =  
SW  
(4)  
For this design example, use KIND = 0.4 and the inductor value is calculated to be 249 nH. For this design, the  
nearby standard value of 220 nH was chosen. For the output filter inductor, it is generally recommended that the  
RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The current ripple, RMS, and peak inductor current  
are calculated in 公式 5, 公式 6, and 公式 7.

For this design, the RMS inductor current is calculated to be 5.04 A and the peak inductor current is 6.13 A. The  
chosen inductor is 220 nH with a saturation current rating of 8.2 A and a dc current rating of 7.6 A.  
The current flowing through each inductor is the inductor ripple current plus half the output current. During power  
up, faults, or transient load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the peak inductor current level  
calculated above. In transient conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the switch current limit of the  
device. For this reason, the most conservative approach is to specify an inductor with a saturation current rating  
equal to or greater than half the load current limit rather than the peak inductor current in steady state. Many  
inductors today have soft saturation characteristics that may be able to ride through a transient that pushes  
current beyond the saturation rating specified in the datasheet. An example list of inductors that have been  
tested to work with the TPS54A20 are shown in 4. Inductors not listed below can also be used with this  
device.

8.2.2.5 Output Capacitor Selection  
For most applications, the primary consideration for selecting the value of the output capacitor is how the  
regulator responds to a large change in load current. The output capacitance may also be selected based on  
output voltage ripple or closed-loop bandwidth design objectives.  
The output capacitance required to maintain an output voltage ripple ΔVOUT during steady-state operation can be  
estimated using 公式 8.  
DIL  
CO  
>
16 x fSW x DVOUT  
(8)  
The desired response to a large change in the load current is typically the most stringent criteria. The output  
capacitor needs to supply the load with current when the regulator cannot. This situation would occur if there are  
desired hold-up times for the regulator where the output capacitor must hold the output voltage above a certain  
level for a specified amount of time after the input power is removed. The regulator is also temporarily not able to  
supply sufficient output current if there is a large, fast change in the load current such as a transition from no  
load to full load. The output capacitor must be sized to supply the extra current to the load until the control loop  
responds to the load change. The minimum output capacitance required for a load increase can be estimated  
using 公式 9.

In low voltage applications, the inductor slew rate during a load step decrease is sometimes slower than its slew  
rate during a load step increase. The minimum output capacitance required for a load decrease can be estimated  
using 公式 10 for a given tolerable amount of overshoot in the output voltage.

Here ΔIOUT is the change in output current and ΔVOUT is the allowable change in the output voltage. For this  
design example, the transient load response is specified as a 3% change in VOUT for a load step of 5A. For this  
example, ΔIOUT = 5 A and ΔVOUT = 0.03 x 1.2 = 0.036 V. Based on these design parameters, a minimum  
capacitance of 93 µF is calculated using 公式 9. This value does not take the ESR of the output capacitor into  
account in the output voltage change. For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is usually small enough to ignore in this  
calculation. Additional capacitance de-ratings for aging, temperature and DC bias should be factored in which  
also increases this minimum value. For this design example, two 47 µF, 6.3 V rated, ceramic capacitors with 3  
mΩ of ESR are selected.  
8.2.2.6 Input Capacitor Selection  
The TPS54A20 requires a high quality ceramic, type X5R or X7R, input decoupling capacitor of at least 4.7 µF of  
effective capacitance on the VIN input voltage pin. Additional bulk capacitance may also be required for the VIN  
input. The value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of DC bias applied  
to the capacitor. The capacitance variations due to temperature can be minimized by selecting a dielectric  
material that is stable over temperature. X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics are usually selected for power  
regulator capacitors because they have a high capacitance to volume ratio and are fairly stable over  
temperature. The capacitor must also be selected with the DC bias taken into account. The capacitance value of  
a capacitor decreases as the DC bias across a capacitor increases. For this example design, a ceramic capacitor  
with at least a 25-V voltage rating is selected to support the maximum input voltage. The input capacitance value  
impacts the input ripple voltage of the regulator. The minimum input capacitance can be estimated using 公式 11.

Here ΔVIN is the input voltage ripple in steady state. Using the design example values, IOUT = 10 A, VOUT = 1.2 V,  
VIN(MIN) = 9 V, FSW = 2 MHz and ΔVIN = 25 mV, 公式 11 yields an input capacitance of 39 µF. For this example,  
two 10µF, 25-V and a single 22-µF, 25-V ceramic capacitors in parallel have been selected for the VIN voltage  
rail. Because ESR is typically fairly low in ceramic capacitors, it is not included in this calculation.  
The capacitor must also have a ripple current rating greater than the maximum input current ripple to the device  
during full load. The input ripple current can be calculated using 公式 12.

For this example design, the RMS input ripple current is 2.21 A (RMS). The ripple current can be assumed to be  
shared equally between the input capacitors.  
8.2.2.7 Series Capacitor Selection  
A major function of the series capacitor is energy transfer. This is a different role from input and output capacitors  
where decoupling is the primary function. In many ways, the series capacitor is similar to the capacitor used for  
energy transfer in SEPIC converters and can be designed accordingly. A design objective may be to ensure the  
series capacitor voltage ripple does not exceed 5% to 10% of the nominal voltage under the worst case  
conditions. The series capacitor voltage ripple is given by 公式 13.

where kCt represents the voltage ripple percentage. For example, if the voltage ripple target is 5%, the value for  
kCt is 0.05. The largest voltage ripple occurs at full load current (highest IOUT), highest duty ratio (lowest input  
voltage/highest output voltage), and lowest frequency. For this design example, the value for kCt was selected to  
be 0.08. The resulting series capacitance calculated is 1.85 µF. A 10 V, X7R ceramic capacitor with 2.2 µF of  
capacitance is selected.  
Another aspect to consider is capacitor RMS current rating. This impacts the temperature rise of the capacitor.  
Check the capacitor datasheet for temperature rise information. If the temperature rise is too large for a single  
capacitor, multiple capacitors may be placed in parallel to share the RMS current. The series capacitor has the  
same current profile as the high side MOSFETs. The RMS current squared can be expressed as

where ΔIL is the inductor current ripple. The largest RMS current occurs at the highest load current and highest  
duty ratio.  
Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are well suited for operating as the series capacitor. The equivalent series  
resistance (ESR) is relatively low (for example, 5 mΩ to 10 mΩ) which helps to reduce power loss and self  
heating. The equivalent series inductance (ESL) is fairly low which results in a high self resonant frequency  
(SRF). There are a few key items that should be considered when designing. First, the effective capacitance  
decreases with DC bias. This means that the capacitor should be selected based on its capacitance with the  
nominal voltage of VIN/2 applied. Temperature variation also reduces effective capacitance. For this reason, X7R  
capacitors with up to 125°C operating temperature range are recommended. If capacitors are not properly  
selected, cracking or other failure modes may result.  
8.2.2.8 Soft-Start Time Selection  
The soft-start time is the amount of time it takes for the output voltage to reach its nominal programmed value  
during power up. This is useful if a load requires a controlled voltage slew rate. This is also used if the output  
capacitance is very large and would require large amounts of current to quickly charge the capacitor to the  
desired output voltage level. The large currents necessary to charge the capacitor may make the TPS54A20  
reach the current limit and trigger a fault. Excessive current draw from the input power supply may cause the  
input voltage rail to sag. Limiting the output voltage slew rate solves both of these problems. The soft-start time  
can be selected using the resistor values listed in 1. For the example circuit, the soft-start time is not critical  
since the output capacitor value is 94 µF which does not require a large amount of current to charge to 1.2 V.  
For this example design, the average output current is approximately 220 mA during soft start. The example  
circuit has the soft start time set to 512 µs which requires no resistor (open connection) on the SS/FSEL pin. The  
average converter output current required to charge the output capacitors to the target output voltage during soft  
start can be estimated using 公式 17.

8.2.2.9 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection  
A 0.047 μF ceramic capacitor should be connected between the BOOTA to SCAP pins and between the BOOTB  
and SWB pins for proper operation. It is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor with X5R or better grade  
dielectric. The capacitor should have 10 V or higher voltage rating.

8.2.2.10 Gate Drive Capacitor Selection  
A 1 μF ceramic capacitor should be connected between VGA and PGND and between the VG+ and VG- pins for  
proper operation. It is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor with X5R or better grade dielectric. The VGA  
capacitor should have 16 V or higher voltage rating and the VG+ capacitor should have 10 V or higher voltage  
rating.  
8.2.2.11 Under Voltage Lockout Set Point  
The Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) set point can be adjusted using an external voltage divider network. The  
top resistor is connected between VIN and the EN pin and bottom resistor is connected between EN and GND as  
shown in 42. For the example design, the supply should turn on and start switching once the input voltage  
increases above 9.4 V (UVLO start or enable). After the regulator starts switching, it should continue to do so  
until the input voltage falls below 9.2 V (UVLO stop or disable). The resistor values for obtaining the desired  
UVLO thresholds can be calculated using 公式 18 and 公式 19. REN,TOP, the top UVLO divider resistor, is  
calculated using 公式 18. REN,BOT, the bottom UVLO divider resistor, is calculated in 公式 19.

For the start and stop voltages specified the resistor value selected for REN,TOP (R2) is 80.6 kΩ and for REN,BOT  
(R3) is 12.4 kΩ.  
8.2.2.12 Current Limit Selection  
The current limit can be selected using the ILIM pin. Refer to 2 for resistor selection information. It is  
recommended to choose a current limit that is 1.5 times or more than the full load current expected in the  
application. This allows for margin in the inductor currents when responding to load transients and limits  
nuisance trips.

9 Power Supply Recommendations  
The TPS54A20 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 8V and 14V. This supply  
voltage must be well regulated. Power supplies must be well bypassed for proper electrical performance. This  
includes a minimum of one 4.7μF (after de-rating) ceramic capacitor, type X5R or better, from VIN to PGND.  
Additional local ceramic bypass capacitance may be required in systems with small input ripple specifications, in  
addition to bulk capacitance, if the TPS54A20 device is located more than a few inches away from its input  
power supply. In systems with an auxiliary power rail available, the power stage input, VIN, and the gate driver  
power input, VG+, may operate from separate input supplies. See the recommendations in the Layout section for  
further explanation.

10 Layout  
10.1 Layout Guidelines  
Layout is a critical portion of good power supply design. See 62 and 63 for a PCB layout example. It  
may be possible to obtain acceptable performance with alternate PCB layouts, however this layout has been  
shown to produce good results and is meant as a guideline.  
The IC package design provides several quiet pads for heat removal and enables a tight layout of the board  
components.  
Place the power components (including input and output capacitors, inductors, the series capacitor, and the  
TPS54A20 device) on the solder side of the PCB. To shield and isolate the small signal traces from noisy  
power lines, insert and connect at least one inner plane to ground.  
All sensitive analog traces and components such as FB, EN, TON, PGOOD, ILIM, and SS/FSEL must be  
placed away from high-voltage switching nodes such as SWA, SWB, SCAP, BOOTA, and BOOTB to avoid  
coupling. Use internal layers as ground planes and shield the feedback trace from power traces and  
components.  
Care should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the input bypass capacitor connections, the VIN  
pin, and the ground connections. Place the input capacitors right next to the IC. Use low ESR ceramic  
capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectric.  
Care should also be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the series capacitor. Place the series  
capacitor directly beside the IC. If this guideline is not followed, extra voltage ringing due to parasitic  
inductances could occur on the switch nodes and the device could be damaged. Use low ESR ceramic  
capacitors with X7R or better dielectric. Ensure the capacitor operating temperature is sufficient. It is  
recommended to have at least 125 °C rating.  
Place the bootstrap capacitors close to the device to reduce parasitic inductance caused by switching loop  
area. Place the BOOTA to SCAP capacitor right next to the device.  
Thermal vias should be inserted in the PGND strip and connected to internal ground planes. This aids with  
heat removal and ground return current.  
The top layer ground area should be connected to the internal ground layer(s) using vias at the input bypass  
capacitor, the output filter capacitor and directly under the TPS54A20 device to provide a thermal path from  
the exposed thermal pad land to ground.  
For operation at full rated load, the top side ground area together with the internal ground planes, must  
provide adequate heat dissipating area.  
Place the output inductors close to the SWA and SWB pins and keep the switch node area small. This helps  
to prevent excessive capacitive coupling, reduce electromagnetic interference, and reduce conduction loss.  
The output filter capacitor ground should be returned directly to the PGND strip using an inner layer.  
The FB pin is sensitive to noise. The feedback resistors should be located as close as possible to the IC and  
routed with minimal lengths of trace. Place the feedback resistor network near the device to minimize the FB  
trace distance. When operating at 7 MHz or 10 MHz, a resistor (e.g. 10 kΩ) is required in series with the FB  
pin to reduce noise coupling and filter out high frequency noise as shown in 62.  
Adding a phase boost capacitor in parallel with the top resistor of the output voltage feedback divider is  
recommended.  
Place the TON resistor directly next to the device. Connect the ground return to the AGND pin.  
Place the gate drive capacitor as close as possible to the VG+ and VG- pins. Make the return connection  
directly to the VG- pin instead of an inner ground layer. This reduces gate drive loop area.  
Place the VGA capacitor next to the VGA pin. Provide a ground via for the capacitor and ensure the loop is  
as small as possible.  
The no connect (NC) pin should be connected to the trace connecting the SCAP pin to the series capacitor.  
This will improve board level reliability.  
A snubber can be placed between the switch nodes and ground for effective ringing reduction.  
Land pattern and stencil information is provided in the data sheet addendum.  
Try to minimize conductor lengths while maintaining adequate width.  
It is recommended to experimentally validate all designs before production.
