1 Features
3 Description
The TPS54327 device is an adaptive on-time DCAP2 mode synchronous buck converter.
TheTPS54327 enables system designers to complete
the suite of various end equipments power bus
regulators with a cost effective, low component count,
low standby current solution. The main control loop
for the TPS54327 uses the D-CAP2 mode control
which provides a fast transient response with no
external compensation components. The TPS54327
also has a proprietary circuit that enables the device
to adopt to both low equivalent series resistance
(ESR) output capacitors, such as POSCAP or SPCAP, and ultra-low ESR ceramic capacitors. The
device operates from 4.5-V to 18-V VIN input. The
output voltage can be programmed between 0.76 V
and 7 V. The device also features an adjustable soft
start time. The TPS54327 is available in the 8-pin
DDA package and 10-pin DRC, and is designed to
operate from 40C to 85C.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS54327 device is a 3-A synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated N-channel
MOSFETs. It operates using D-CAP2 mode control. The fast transient response of D-CAP2 control reduces the
output capacitance required to meet a specific level of performance. Proprietary internal circuitry allows the use
of low ESR output capacitors including ceramic and special polymer types.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 PWM Operation
The main control loop of the TPS54327 is an adaptive ON-time pulse width modulation (PWM) controller that
supports a proprietary D-CAP2 mode control. D-CAP2 mode control combines constant on-time control with an
internal compensation circuit for pseudo-fixed frequency and low external component count configuration with
both low ESR and ceramic output capacitors. It is stable even with virtually no ripple at the output.
TPS54327
www.ti.com
Feature Description (continued)

At the beginning of each cycle, the high-side MOSFET is turned on. This MOSFET is turned off after internal one
shot timer expires. This one shot is set by the converter input voltage, VIN, and the output voltage, VO, to
maintain a pseudo-fixed frequency over the input voltage range, hence it is called adaptive on-time control. The
one-shot timer is reset and the high-side MOSFET is turned on again when the feedback voltage falls below the
reference voltage. An internal ramp is added to reference voltage to simulate output ripple, eliminating the need
for ESR induced output ripple from D-CAP2 mode control.
7.3.2 PWM Frequency and Adaptive ON-Time Control
TPS54327 uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on-board oscillator. The
TPS54327 runs with a pseudo-constant frequency of 700 kHz by using the input voltage and output voltage to
set the on-time one-shot timer. The on-time is inversely proportional to the input voltage and proportional to the
output voltage, therefore, when the duty ratio is VOUT/VIN, the frequency is constant.
7.3.3 Soft-Start and Prebiased Soft-Start
The soft start function is adjustable. When the EN pin becomes high, 2-A current begins charging the capacitor
which is connected from the SS pin to GND. Smooth control of the output voltage is maintained during start up.
The equation for the slow start time is shown in Equation 1. VFB voltage is 0.765 V and SS pin source current is
2 A.

The TPS54327 contains a unique circuit to prevent current from being pulled from the output during start-up if the
output is prebiased. When the soft-start commands a voltage higher than the prebias level (internal soft start
becomes greater than feedback voltage VFB), the controller slowly activates synchronous rectification by starting
the first low side FET gate driver pulses with a narrow on-time. It then increments that on-time on a cycle-bycycle basis until it coincides with the time dictated by (1-D), where D is the duty cycle of the converter. This
scheme prevents the initial sinking of the prebias output, and ensure that the out voltage (VO) starts and ramps
up smoothly into regulation and the control loop is given time to transition from prebiased start-up to normal
mode operation.
7.3.4 Current Protection
The output overcurrent protection (OCP) is implemented using a cycle-by-cycle valley detect control circuit. The
switch current is monitored by measuring the low-side FET switch voltage between the SW pin and GND. This
voltage is proportional to the switch current. To improve accuracy, the voltage sensing is temperature
compensated.
During the on time of the high-side FET switch, the switch current increases at a linear rate determined by Vin,
Vout, the on-time and the output inductor value. During the on time of the low-side FET switch, this current
decreases linearly. The average value of the switch current is the load current IOUT. The TPS54327 constantly
monitors the low-side FET switch voltage, which is proportional to the switch current, during the low-side on-time.
If the measured voltage is above the voltage proportional to the current limit, an internal counter is incremented
per each SW cycle and the converter maintains the low-side switch on until the measured voltage is below the
voltage corresponding to the current limit at which time the switching cycle is terminated and a new switching
cycle begins. In subsequent switching cycles, the on-time is set to a fixed value and the current is monitored in
the same manner. If the overcurrent condition exists for 7 consecutive switching cycles, the internal OCL
threshold is set to a lower level, reducing the available output current. When a switching cycle occurs where the
switch current is not above the lower OCL threshold, the counter is reset and the OCL limit is returned to the
higher value.
There are some important considerations for this type of overcurrent protection. The load current one half of the
peak-to-peak inductor current higher than the overcurrent threshold. Also when the current is being limited, the
output voltage tends to fall as the demanded load current may be higher than the current available from the
converter. This may cause the output voltage to fall. When the overcurrent condition is removed, the output
voltage will return to the regulated value. This protection is nonlatching.

Feature Description (continued)

7.3.5 UVLO Protection
Undervoltage lock out protection (UVLO) monitors the voltage of the VREG5 pin. When the VREG5 voltage is lower
than UVLO threshold voltage, the TPS54327 is shut off. This is protection is non-latching.
7.3.6 Thermal Shutdown
TPS54327 monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 165C),
the device is shut off. This is non-latch protection.
7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Normal Operation
When the input voltage is above the UVLO threshold and the EN voltage is above the enable threshold, the
TPS54327 device operates in normal switching mode. Normal continuous conduction mode(CCM) occurs when
the minimum switch current is above 0 A. In CM, the TPS54327 device operates at a quasi-fixed frequency of
650 kHz.
7.4.2 Forced CCM Operation
When the TPS54327 device is in normal CCM operating mode and switch current falls below 0 A, the device
begins operating in forced CCM.

8 Application and Implementation

NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TIs 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 TPS54327 device is used as a step converter that converts a voltage of 4.5 V to 18 V to a lower voltage.
WEBENCH software is available to aid in the design and analysis of circuits.

8.2.2.1 Output Voltage Resistors Selection

The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VFB pin. TI recommends using 1%
tolerance or better divider resistors. Start by using Equation 2 to calculate VOUT.
To improve efficiency at very light loads consider using larger value resistors, too high of resistance will be more
susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VFB input current will be more noticeable.

8.2.2.2 Output Filter Selection

The output filter used with the TPS54327 is an LC circuit. This LC filter has double pole at:
F =
P
2p L
1
x COUT
OUT
(3)
At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output set-point resistor divider network and the internal
gain of the TPS54327. The low-frequency phase is 180 degrees. At the output filter pole frequency, the gain rolls
off at a -40 dB per decade rate and the phase drops rapidly. D-CAP2 introduces a high-frequency zero that
reduces the gain roll off to -20 dB per decade and increases the phase to 90 degrees one decade above the
zero frequency. The inductor and capacitor selected for the output filter must be selected so that the double pole
of Equation 3 is located below the high-frequency zero but close enough that the phase boost provided be the
high-frequency zero provides adequate phase margin for a stable circuit. To meet this requirement use the
values recommended in Table 2

Because the DC gain is dependent on the output voltage, the required inductor value will increase as the output
voltage increases. For higher output voltages above 1.8 V, additional phase boost can be achieved by adding a
feed forward capacitor (C4) in parallel with R1
The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current, peak current and RMS current are calculated using Equation 4,
Equation 5 and Equation 6. The inductor saturation current rating must be greater than the calculated peak
current and the RMS or heating current rating must be greater than the calculated RMS current. Use 700 kHz for
fSW.
Use 700 kHz for fSW. Make sure the chosen inductor is rated for the peak current of Equation 5 and the RMS
current of Equation 6.

The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS54327 is intended for use
with ceramic or other low ESR capacitors. Recommended values range from 22uF to 68uF. Use Equation 7 to
determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor.

For this design two TDK C3216X5R0J226M 22-F output capacitors are used. The typical ESR is 2 m each.
The calculated RMS current is 0.271 A and each output capacitor is rated for 4 A.
8.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
The TPS54327 requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is needed depending on the
application. TI recommends a ceramic capacitor over 10 F for the decoupling capacitor. TI also recommends
connecting an additional 0.1-F capacitor from pin 14 to ground to improve the stability of the overcurrent limit
function. The capacitor voltage rating must be greater than the maximum input voltage.
8.2.2.4 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
A 0.1 F. ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VBST to SW pin for proper operation. TI
recommends using a ceramic capacitor.
8.2.2.5 VREG5 Capacitor Selection
A 1-F ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VREG5 to GND pin for proper operation. TI
recommends using a ceramic capacitor.

9 Power Supply Recommendations

The TPS54327 device is designed to operate from input supply voltage in the range of 4.5 V to 18 V. Buck
converters require the input voltage to be higher than the output voltage. in this case, the maximum
recommended operating duty cycle is 65%. Using that criteria, the minimum recommended input voltage is
Vo/0.65.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
1. Keep the input switching current loop as small as possible.
2. Keep the SW node as physically small and short as possible to minimize parasitic capacitance and
inductance and to minimize radiated emissions. Kelvin connections should be brought from the output to the
feedback pin of the device.
3. Keep analog and non-switching components away from switching components.
4. Make a single point connection from the signal ground to power ground.
5. Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
6. Keep the pattern lines for VIN and PGND broad.
7. Exposed pad of device must be connected to PGND with solder.
8. VREG5 capacitor should be placed near the device, and connected PGND.
9. Output capacitor should be connected to a broad pattern of the PGND.
10. Voltage feedback loop should be as short as possible, and preferably with ground shield.
11. Lower resistor of the voltage divider which is connected to the VFB pin should be tied to SGND.
12. Providing sufficient via is preferable for VIN, SW and PGND connection.
13. PCB pattern for VIN, SW, and PGND should be as broad as possible.
14. VIN Capacitor should be placed as near as possible to the device.

10.3 Thermal Considerations

This 8-pin DDA package incorporates an exposed thermal pad that is designed to be directly attached to an
external heatsink. The thermal pad must be soldered directly to the printed-circuit board (PCB). After soldering,
the PCB can be used as a heatsink. In addition, through the use of thermal vias, the thermal pad can be
attached directly to the appropriate copper plane shown in the electrical schematic for the device, or alternatively,
can be attached to a special heatsink structure designed into the PCB. This design optimizes the heat transfer
from the integrated circuit (IC).
For additional information on the exposed thermal pad and how to use the advantage of its heat dissipating
abilities, see the technical brief, PowerPAD Thermally Enhanced Package (SLMA002), and the application
brief, PowerPAD Made Easy (SLMA004).
The exposed thermal pad dimensions for this package are shown in the following illustration.
