DESCRIPTION
The TPS53129 is a dual, adaptive on-time D-CAP2™ mode synchronous buck controller. The TPS53129
enables system designers to complete the suite of various end equipment’s power bus regulators with cost
effective, low component count, and low standby current solution. The main control loop for the TPS53129 uses
the D-CAP2™ mode control which provides a very fast transient response with no external components. The
TPS53129 also has a circuit that enables the device to adapt to both low equivalent series resistance (ESR)
output capacitors such as POSCAP or SP-CAP, and ultra-low ESR, ceramic capacitors. The fixed frequency
emulated adaptive on-time control supports seamless operation between PWM mode at heavy load condition
and reduced frequency operation at light load for high efficiency down to milliampere range.The device provides
convenient and efficient operation with input voltages from 4.5 V to 24 V and output voltages from 0.76 V to
5.5 V.
The TPS53129 is available in 4-mm x 4-mm 24-pin QFN (RGE) or 24-pin TSSOP (PW) packages, and is
specified from -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature range.

SLVSAE6B OCTOBER 2009 REVISED JULY 2010
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
PWM Operation
The main control loop of the TPS53129 is an adaptive on-time pulse width modulation (PWM) controller using 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.
At the beginning of each cycle, the synchronous high-side MOSFET is turned on. After an internal one-shot timer
expires, this MOSFET is turned off. When the feedback voltage falls below the reference voltage, the one-shot
timer is reset and the high-side MOSFET is turned back on. The 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. An internal
ramp is added to the reference voltage to simulate output ripple, eliminating the need for ESR induced output
ripple from D-CAP mode control. The low-side MOSFET is turned off when the inductor current information
detects zero level. This enables seamless transition to the reduced frequency operation at light-load conditions
so that high efficiency is kept over a broad range of load current.
Light-Load Condition
TPS53129 automatically reduces switching frequency at light-load conditions to maintain high efficiency. This
reduction of frequency is achieved smoothly and without increase of Vout ripple or load regulation. Detail
operation is described as follows. As the output current decreases from heavy-load condition, the inductor
current is also reduced, and eventually comes to the point that its valley touches zero current, which is the
boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous condition modes. The low-side MOSFET is turned
off when this zero inductor current is detected. As the load current is further decreased, the converter runs in
discontinuous conduction mode and it takes longer and longer to discharge the output capacitor to the level that
requires the next ON cycle. The ON time is kept the same as that in the heavy-load condition. In reverse, when
the output current increases from light load to heavy load, the switching frequency increases to the preset value
as the inductor current reaches the continuous conduction. The transition load point to the light load operation,
IOUT(LL) (i.e., threshold between continuous and discontinuous condition mode) can be calculated as follows.
(1)
Where fSW is the PWM switching frequency.
Switching frequency versus output current in the light-load condition is a function of L, fSW, VIN and VOUT, but it
decreases almost proportional to the output current from the IOUT(LL) given in Equation 1.
Drivers
Each channel of the TPS53129 contains two high-current resistive MOSFET gate drivers. The low-side driver is a
PGND referenced, VREG5 powered driver designed to drive the gate of a high-current, low RDS(ON) N-channel
MOSFET whose source is connected to PGND. The high-side driver is a floating SWx referenced VBST powered
driver designed to drive the gate of a high-current, low RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFET. To maintain the VBST
voltage during the high-side driver ON time, a capacitor is placed from SWx to VBSTx. Each driver draws
average current equal to gate charge (Qgat Vgs = 5 V) times switching frequency (fSW).
To prevent cross-conduction, there is a narrow dead-time when both high-side and low-side drivers are OFF
between each driver transition. During this time the inductor current is carried by one of the MOSFETs body
diodes.
PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control
TPS53129 employs adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on board oscillator.
TPS53129 runs with pseudo-constant frequency 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.

5-Volt Regulator
The TPS53129 has an internal 5-V low-dropout (LDO) regulator to provide a regulated voltage for all both drivers
and the IC's internal logic. A high-quality 4.7-mF or greater ceramic capacitor from VREG5 to GND is required to
stabilize the internal regulator. An internal 10-resistor from VREG5 filters the regulator output to the IC's
analog and logic input voltage, V5FILT. An additional high-quality 1.0-mF ceramic capacitor is required from
V5FILT to GND to filter switching noise from VREG5.
Soft Start
The TPS53129 has a programmable soft-start . When the ENx pin becomes high, 2.0-mA current begins charging
the capacitor connected from the SS pin to GND. The internal reference for the D-CAP2™ mode control
comparator is overridden by the soft-start voltage until the soft-start voltage is greater than the internal reference
for smooth control of the output voltage during start up.
Pre-Bias Support
The TPS53129 supports pre-bias start-up without sinking current from the output capacitor. When enabled, the
low-side driver is held off until the soft-start commands a voltage higher than the pre-bias level (internal soft-start
becomes greater than feedback voltage (VFB)), then the TPS53129 slowly activates synchronous rectification by
limiting the first DRVL pulses with a narrow on-time. This limited on-time is then incremented on a cycle-by-cycle
basis until it coincides with the full 1-D off-time. This scheme prevents the initial sinking of current from the
pre-bias output, and ensure that the output voltage (VOUT) starts and ramps up smoothly into regulation and the
control loop is given time to transition from pre-biased start-up to normal mode operation.
Output Discharge Control
TPS53129 discharges the outputs when ENx is low, or the controller is turned off by the protection functions
(OVP, UVP, UVLO, and thermal shutdown). The device discharges output using an internal 40-MOSFET which
is connected to VOx and PGNDx. The external low-side MOSFET is not turned on during the output discharge
operation to avoid the possibility of causing negative voltage at the output. This discharge ensures that on start
the regulated voltage always initializes from 0 V.
Over Current Limit
TPS53129 has cycle-by-cycle over current limit feature. The over current limits the inductor valley current by
monitoring the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET RDS(ON) during the low-side driver on-time. If the
inductor current is larger than the over current limit (OCL), the TPS53129 delays the start of the next switching
cycle until the sensed inductor current falls below the OCL current. MOSFET RDS(ON) current sensing is used to
provide an accuracy and cost effective solution without external devices. To program the OCL, the TRIP pin
should be connected to GND through a trip voltage setting resistor, according to the following equations.
(2)
(3)
The trip voltage should be between 30 mV to 300 mV over all operational temperature, including the
4000-ppm/°C temperature slope compensation for the temperature dependency of the RDS(ON).
If the load current exceeds the over current limit, the voltage will begin to drop. If the over current conditions
continues the output voltage will fall below the under voltage protection threshold and the TPS53129 will shut
down.
In an over current condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor; thus the output
voltage tends to fall off. Eventually, it will end up with crossing the under voltage protection threshold and
shutdown.

SLVSAE6B OCTOBER 2009 REVISED JULY 2010
Over/Under Voltage Protection
TPS53129 monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect over and under voltage. If the feedback voltage
is higher than 115% of the reference voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit latches the
high-side MOSFET driver OFF and the low-side MOSFET driver ON.
When the feedback voltage is lower than 70% of the reference voltage, the UVP comparator output goes high
and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After 30 ms, TPS53129 latches OFF both top and bottom
MOSFET drivers. This function is enabled approximately 1.7 x TSS after power-on. The OVP and UVP latch off is
reset when EN goes low level.
UVLO Protection
TPS53129 has V5FILT under voltage lock out protection (UVLO) that monitors the voltage of V5FILT pin.
When the V5FILT voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the device is shut off. All output drivers are OFF
and output discharge is ON. The UVLO is non-latch protection.
Thermal Shutdown
The TPS53129 includes an over temperature protection shut-down feature. If the TPS53129 die temperature
exceeds the OTP threshold (typically 150°C), both the high-side and low-side drivers are shut off, the output
voltage discharge function is enabled and then the device is shut off until the die temperature drops. Thermal
shutdown is a non-latch protection.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
1. Choose inductor.
The inductance value is selected to provide approximately 30% peak to peak ripple current at maximum load.
Larger ripple current increases output ripple voltage, improve S/N ratio and contribute to stable operation.
Equation 4 can be used to calculate L1.
(4)
The inductors current ratings needs to support both the RMS (thermal) current and the Peak (saturation)
current. The RMS and peak inductor current can be estimated as follows.
(5)
(6)
(7)
Note: The calculation above shall serve as a general reference. To further improve transient response, the
output inductance could be reduced further. This needs to be considered along with the selection of the
output capacitor.
2. Choose output capacitor.
The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple and load transient response. it
is recommended to use a ceramic output capacitor.
(8)
(9)
(10)
Where
(11)
Select the capacitance value greater than the largest value calculated from Equation 8,Equation 9 and
Equation 10. The capacitance for C1 should be greater than 66 mF.
Where
ΔVOS = The allowable amount of overshoot voltage in load transition
ΔVUS = The allowable amount of undershoot voltage in load transition
Tmin(off) = Minimum off time
3. Choose input capacitor.
The TPS53129 requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is needed depending on the
application. A minimum 10-mF high-quality ceramic capacitor is recommended for the input capacitor. The
capacitor voltage rating needs to be greater than the maximum input voltage.

4. Choose bootstrap capacitor.
The TPS53129 requires a bootstrap capacitor from SW to VBST to provide the floating supply for the
high-side drivers. A minimum 0.1-mF high-quality ceramic capacitor is recommended. The voltage rating
should be greater than 10 V.
5. Choose VREG5 and V5FILT capacitor.
The TPS53129 requires both the VREG5 regulator and V5FILT input are bypassed. A minimum 4.7-mF
high-quality ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VREG5 and GND for proper operation. A
minimum 1-mF high-quality ceramic capacitor must be connected between the V5FILT and GND for proper
operation. Both of these capacitors’ voltage ratings should be greater than 10 V.
6. Choose output voltage divider resistors.
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output voltage node to the VFBx pin. It is
recommended to use 1% tolerance or better resisters. Select R2 between 10 kand 100 kand use
Equation 12 or Equation 13 to calculate R1.
(12)
(13)
Where
VFB(RIPPLE) = Ripple voltage at VFB
Vswinj = Ripple voltage at error comparator
7. Choose register setting for over current limit.

Where
RDS(ON) = Low side FET on-resistance
ITRIP(min) = TRIP pin source current 8.5 mA
VOCL0ff = Minimum over current limit offset voltage (–20 mV)
IOCL = Over current limit
8. Choose soft start capacitor.
Soft start time equation is as follows.

LAYOUT SUGGESTIONS
Keep the input switching current loop as small as possible.
Place the input capacitor (C3,C6) close to the top switching FET. The output current loop should also be kept
as small as possible.
Keep the SW node as physically small and short as possible as to minimize parasitic capacitance and
inductance and to minimize radiated emissions. Kelvin connections should be brought from the output to the
feedback pin (FBx) of the device.
Keep analog and non-switching components away from switching components.
Make a single point connection from the signal ground to power ground.
Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
