2-1 Design Procedure Design Procedure The SL VP1 1 1–1 14 are dc-dc synchronous buck converter evaluation modules (EVMs) that provide a regulated output voltage at up to 6 A with a power input voltage range of 4.5 V to 6 V . A low power 12-V , 20-mA source is also required to power the TPS56xx controller .
TPS56xx Functions 2-2 2.1 TPS56xx Functions The functional block diagram of the TPS56xx family of controllers is given in Figure 2–1. The controller has the following main features: ± 1% reference over 0 ° C to125 ° C junction temperature range.

TPS56xx Functions 2-4 2.1.2 Inhibit The inhibit circuit is a comparator with a 2.1-V start voltage and a 100-mV hysteresis. When inhibit is low , the output drivers are low and the slowstart capacitor is discharged. When inhibit is above the start threshold, the short across the slowstart capacitor is released and normal operation begins.
TPS56xx Functions 2-5 Design Procedure R VREFB + 3.3 V 165 m A + 20 k W This value is used to determine the values of R10 and R14 that set the hysteresis level.
TPS56xx Functions 2-6 Note that V del is independent of the output voltage. T o calculate V del for this example design, use the component measurements given in Section 2.2.4.2. They are repeated here for convenience: L = 1.5 µ H ESR = 10 m Ω T del = 400 ns Now calculate V del : V del + 5 1.
TPS56xx Functions 2-7 Design Procedure 2.1.5 Noise Suppression Hysteretic regulators, by nature, have a fast response time to V O transients and are thus inherently noise sensitive due to the very high bandwidth of the controller . Noise suppression circuits were added to the TPS56xx to improve the noise immunity , as shown in Figure 2–2.
TPS56xx Functions 2-8 Figure 1–3). This arrangement improves efficiency over solutions having a separate current sensing resistor . The drain of the high-side MOSFET is connected to HISENSE (pin 19). The source of the high-side MOSFET is connected to LOSENSE (pin 20).
TPS56xx Functions 2-9 Design Procedure resistor-divider network is designed so that the voltage applied to OCP is 100 mV for the desired output current limit point. If the voltage on OCP exceeds 100 mV , a fault latch is set and the output drivers are turned off.
TPS56xx Functions 2-10 An alternate current sensing scheme is to insert a current sense resistor in series with the drain of Q1. Higher accuracy may be obtained at the expense of lower efficiency . 2.1.7 Overvoltage Protection If V O exceeds V ref by 15%, a fault latch is set and the output gate drivers are turned off.

TPS56xx Functions 2-13 Design Procedure LOHIB (pin 1 1) is an inhibit input for the low-side MOSFET driver . This input has to be logic low before the low-side MOSFET is allowed to be turned on, i.e., a logic high on LOHIB prevents the low-side MOSFET driver from turning on the low-side MOSFET .
