DESCRIPTION
The TPS51220 is a dual synchronous buck regulator controller with 2 LDOs. It is optimized for 5V/3.3V system
controller, enabling designers to cost effectively complete 2-cells to 4-cells notebook system power supply. The
TPS51220 supports high efficiency, fast transient response and 99% duty cycle operation. It supports supply
input voltages ranging from 4.5V to 28V, and output voltages from 1V to 12V. Two types of control schemes can
be chosen depending on the application. Peak current mode supports stability operation with lower ESR
capacitor and output accuracy. The D-CAP mode supports fast transient response. The high duty (99%)
operation and the wide input/output voltage range supports flexible design for small mobile PCs and a wide
variety of other applications. The fixed frequency can be adjusted from 200kHz to 1MHz by a resistor, and each
channel runs 180° out of phase. The TPS51220 can also synchronize to the external clock, and the interleaving
ratio can be adjusted by its duty. The TPS51220 is available in the 32 pin 5x5 QFN package and is specified
from –40°C to 85°C.

VREG5 SWITCHOVER
If the V5SW voltage becomes higher than 4.7V, the internal 5V-LDO is shut off and the VREG5 is shorted to
V5SW by an internal MOSFET after an 7.7ms delay. When the V5SW voltage becomes lower than 4.5V, the
internal switch is turned off and the internal 5V-LDO resumes immediately.
CURRENT MODE
The current mode scheme uses the output voltage information and the inductor current information to regulate
the output voltage. The output voltage information is sensed by VFBx pin. The signal is compared with the
internal 1V reference and the voltage difference is amplified by a transconductance amplifier (VFB-AMP). The
inductor current information is sensed by CSPx and CSNx pins. The voltage difference is amplified by another
transconductance amplifier (CS-AMP). The output of the VFB-AMP indicates the target peak inductor current. If
the output voltage goes down, the TPS51220 increases the target inductor current to raise the output voltage, on
the other hand, if the output voltage goes up the TPS51220 decreases the target inductor current to reduce the
output voltage.
At the beginning of each clock cycle, the high-side MOSFET is turned on, or becomes ‘ON’ state. The high-side
MOSFET is turned off, or becomes OFF state, after the inductor current becomes the target value which is
determined by the combination value of the output of the VFB-AMP and a ramp compensation signal. The ramp
compensation signal is used to prevent sub-harmonic oscillation of the inductor current control loop. The
high-side MOSFET is turned on again at the next clock cycle. By repeating the operation in this manner, the
controller regulates the output voltage. The synchronous low-side or the rectifying MOSFET is turned on each
OFF state to keep the conduction loss minimum.
D-CAP™ MODE
With the D-CAP mode operation, the PWM comparator compares VREF2 with the combination value of the
COMP voltage, VFB-AMP output, and the ramp compensation signal. When the both signals are equal at the
peak of the voltage sense signal, the comparator provides the OFF signal to the high-side MOSFET driver.
Because the compensation network is implemented on the part and the output waveform itself is used as the
error signal, external circuit is simplified. Another advantage is its inherent fast transient response. A trade-off is
a sufficient amount of ESR required in the output capacitor. The D-CAP™ mode is suitable for relatively larger
output ripple voltage application. The inductor current information is used for the overcurrent protection and light
load operation.

HIGH-SIDE DRIVER
The high-side driver is designed to drive high current, low rDS(on) N-channel MOSFET(s). The drive capability is
represented by its internal resistance, which is 1.7Ω for VBSTx to DRVHx, and 1Ω for DRVHx to SWx. When
configured as a floating driver, 5V bias voltage is delivered from VREG5 supply. The instantaneous drive current
is supplied by the flying capacitor between VBSTx and SWx pins. The average drive current is equal to the gate
charge at Vgs = 5V times switching frequency. This gate drive current as well as the low-side gate drive current
times 5V makes the driving power which needs to be dissipated from TPS51220 package. A dead time to
prevent shoot through is internally generated between high-side MOSFET off to low-side MOSFET on, and
low-side MOSFET off to high-side MOSFET on.
LOW-SIDE DRIVER
The low-side driver is designed to drive high current low rDS(on) N-channel MOSFET(s). The drive capability is
represented by its internal resistance, which are 1.3Ω for VREG5 to DRVLx and 0.7Ω for DRVLx to GND. The 5V
bias voltage is delivered from VREG5 supply. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by an input capacitor
connected between VREG5 and GND. The average drive current is also calculated by the gate charge at
Vgs = 5V times switching frequency.
CURRENT PROTECTION
TPS51220 has cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting control. If the inductor current becomes larger than the
overcurrent trip level, TPS51220 turns off high-side MOSFET, turns on low-side MOSFET and waits for the next
clock cycle.
IOCL(PEAK) sets peak level of the inductor current. Thus, the dc load current at overcurrent threshold, IOCL(DC), can
be calculated as follows;
I OCL(DC) + I OCL(PEAK) * 0.5 I IND(RIPPLE)
(5)
VOCL
I OCL(PEAK) +
RSENSE (6)
where RSENSE is resistance of current sensing device and V(OCL) is overcurrent trip threshold voltage which is
determined by TRIP pin voltages as shown in Table 3.
In an overcurrent condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor thus the output
voltage tends to fall down, and it will end up with crossing the undervoltage protection threshold and shutdown.
POWERGOOD
The TPS51220 has powergood output for both switcher channels. The powergood function is activated after
softstart has finished. If the output voltage becomes within ±5% of the target value, internal comparators detect
power good state and the powergood signal becomes high after 1ms internal delay. If the output voltage goes
outside of ±10% of the target value, the powergood signal becomes low after 1.5µs internal delay. Apply voltage
should be less than 6V and the recommended pull-up resistance value is from 100kΩ to 1MΩ.
OVER/UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
TPS51220 monitors the output voltage to detect over and undervoltage. When the output voltage becomes 15%
higher than the target value, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit latches as the high-side
MOSFET driver OFF and the low-side MOSFET driver ON, and shuts off another channel.
When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 70% of the target voltage, the UVP comparator output goes
high and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After 1ms, TPS51220 latches OFF both high-side and
low-side MOSFETs, and shuts off another channel. This UVP function is enabled after soft start has completed.
OVP function can be disabled as Table 4. The procedures for restarting from these protection states are:
1. toggle EN
2. toggle EN1 and EN2 or
3. once hit UVLO
UVLO PROTECTION
TPS51220 has undervoltage lock out protections (UVLO) for VREG5, VREG3 and VREF2. When the voltage is
lower than UVLO threshold voltage, TPS51220 shuts off each output as Table 5. This is non-latch protection.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
TPS51220 monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value, TPS51220 shuts
off both SMPS and 5V-LDO, and deceases the VREG3 current limitation to 5mA (typically). This is non-latch
protection.

3. Choose the inductor. The inductance value should be determined to give the ripple current of
approximately 25% to 50% of maximum output current. Recommended ripple current rate is about 30% to
40% at the typical input voltage condition, next equation uses 33%.

L= ×
0.33 x IOUT(MAX) x fSW VIN(TYP)

The inductor also needs to have low DCR to achieve good efficiency, as well as enough room above peak
inductor current before saturation.
4. Determine the OCL trip voltage threshold, V(OCL), and select the sensing resistor.
The OCL trip voltage threshold is determined by TRIP pin setting. To use smaller value improves S/N ratio.
Determine the sensing resistor using next equation. IOCL(PEAK) should be approximately 1.5 × IOUT(MAX) to
1.7 × IOUT(MAX).

5. Determine Rgv. Rgv should be determined from preferable droop compensation value and is given by next
equation based on the typical number of Gmv = 500µS.
I OUT(MAX)
Rgv + 0.1 VOUT 1
I OCL(PEAK) Gmv Vdroop

I OUT(MAX) V OUT[V]

If no-droop is preferred, attach a series RC network circuit instead of single resistor. Series resistance is
determined using Equation 13. Series capacitance can be arbitrarily chosen to meet the RC time constant,
but should be kept under 1/10 of fo. For D-CAP mode, Rgv is used for adjusting ramp compensation. 10kΩ is
a good value to start design with. 6kΩ to 20kΩ can be chosen.
6. Determine output capacitance Co to achieve a stable operation using the next equation. The 0 dB frequency,
fo, should be kept under 1/3 of the switching frequency.

For better jitter performance, a sufficient amount of feedback signal is required at VFBx pin. The
recommended signal level is approximately 30mV per tsw (switching period) of the ramping up rate, and more
than 4mV of peak-to-peak voltage.

7. Calculate Cc. The purpose of this capacitance is to cancel zero caused by ESR of the output capacitor. If
ceramic capacitor(s) is used, there is no need for Cc. If a combination of different capacitors is used, attach a
RC network circuit instead of single capacitance to cancel zeros and poles caused by the output capacitors.
With single capacitance, Cc is given in Equation 17.
Cc + Co ESR
Rgv (17)
For D-CAP mode, basically Cc is not needed.
8. Choose MOSFETs Generally, the on resistance affects efficiency at high load conditions as conduction loss.
For a low output voltage application, the duty ratio is not high enough so that the on resistance of high-side
MOSFET does not affect efficiency; however, switching speed (tr and tf) affects efficiency as switching loss.
As for low-side MOSFET, the switching loss is usually not a main portion of the total loss.

TPS51220 has fixed V(OCL) point (60 mV or 30 mV). In order to adjust for DCR, a voltage divider can be
configured as Figure 49.
For Rx, Rc and Cx can be calculated as shown below, and overcurrent limitation value can be calculated as
follows:

Figure 50 shows the compensation technique for the temperature drifts of the inductor DCR value. This scheme
assumes the temperature rise at the thermistor (RNTC) is directly proportional to the temperature rise at the
inductor.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Certain points must be considered before starting a PCB layout work using the TPS51220.
Placement
• Place RC network for CSP1 and CSP2 close to the IC pins.
• Place bypass capacitors for VREG5, VREG3 and VREF2 close to the IC pins.
• Place frequency-setting resistor close to the IC pin.
• Place the compensation circuits for COMP1 and COMP2 close to the IC pins.
• Place the voltage setting resistors close to the IC pins, especially when D-CAP mode is chosen.
Routing (sensitive analog portion)
• Use separate traces for; see Figure 51
– Output voltage sensing from current sensing (negative-side)
– Output voltage sensing from V5SW input (when VOUT = 5V)
– Current sensing (positive-side) from switch-node

CSN
• Use Kelvin sensing traces from the solder pads of the current sensing device (inductor or resistor) to current
RC network
next to IC
• Use small copper space for VFBx. These are short and narrow traces to avoid noise coupling
• Connect VFB resistor trace to the positive node of the output capacitor.
• Use signal GND for VREF2 and VREG3 capacitors, RF and VFB resistors, and the other sensitive analog
components. Placing a signal GND plane (underneath the IC, and fully covered peripheral components) on
the internal layer for shielding purpose is recommended. (See Figure 53)
• Use a thermal land for PowerPAD™. Five or more vias, with 0.33-mm (13-mils) diameter connected from the
thermal land to the internal GND plane, should be used to help dissipation. Do NOT connect the GND-pin to
this thermal land on the surface layer, underneath the package.
Routing (power portion)
• Use wider/ shorter traces of DRVL for low-side gate drivers to reduce stray inductance.
• Use the parallel traces of SW and DRVH for high-side MOSFET gate drive, and keep them away from DRVL.
• Connect SW trace to source terminal of the high-side MOSFET.
• Use power GND for VREG5, VIN and Vout capacitors and low-side MOSFETs. Power GND and signal GND
should be connected near the IC GND terminal. (See Figure 53)
