DESCRIPTION
As a member of
the SWIFT™ family of DC/DC
regulators,
the TPS5450 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
transient
response. Using the ENA pin, shutdown supply
current is reduced to 18 μA typically. Other features
include an active-high enable, overcurrent
limiting,
overvoltage protection and thermal shutdown. To
reduce design complexity and external component
count,
the TPS5450 feedback loop is internally
compensated.
The TPS5450 device is available in a thermally
enhanced, 8-pin SOIC PowerPAD™ package. TI
provides evaluation modules and software tool to aid
in achieving high-performance power supply designs
to meet aggressive equipment development cycles.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
TPS5450
SLVS757–MARCH 2007
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 TPS5450 in shutdown mode is typically 18 μA.

TPS5450
SLVS757–MARCH 2007
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.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The TPS5450 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 grounded 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 μF 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 TPS5450 implements internal compensation to simplify the regulator design. Since the TPS5450 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.
(1)
The typical feed forward gain of TPS5450 is 25.
Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) Control
the feedback
The regulator employs a fixed frequency pulse-width-modulator (PWM) control method. First,
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.
