Texas Instruments TPS54315PWPRG4 is a DC/DC synchronous step-down switching regulator which is usually used in a synchronous rectified buck-boost converter that is ideal for low power applications. This application note introduces the field of use and the working principle of this regulator. Moreover, it is classified as PMIC - Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators.

Application Field of TPS54315PWPRG4

TPS54315PWPRG4 is a synchronous step-down switching regulator which can generate an output voltage of 0.6V to 5.5V with a maximum output current of 3A with a line and load regulation of 0.4% and 0.5% respectively. It is targeted for applications where a regulator is needed to provide a very low output voltage or when a high input voltage may be present.

The regulator suitable for use in mobile handset applications, mp3 players, and notebook PCs.These types of applications can use a high input voltage ranging between 6.5V and 40V, so the TPS54315PWPRG4 can be used to regulate the intermediate voltages required to meet the output requirements of these devices.

Working Principle of TPS54315PWPRG4

The TPS54315PWPRG4 regulator is a high efficiency, synchronous, step-down switching regulator that operates in a continuous-conduction mode (CCM). Synchronous topologies like the buck-boost regulator can generate output voltages that are either higher or lower than the supply voltage with a single inductor, which consumes an order of magnitude less area on the board compared to a traditional step-down regulator. In addition, the power switches in these regulators are operated in a synchronous mode, which reduces power loss and increases efficiency.

The TPS54315PWPRG4 incorporates an internal high-side and low-side N-MOSFET for a synchronous rectified buck-boost operation that has good transient response and noise immunity. By using the integrated N-MOS junction in the buck-boost topology, the switch delay is optimized and power added back to the input supply during the off times, which can reduce the output voltage ripple and noise.

The regulator consists of two main parts- an oscillator and a PWM controller. The oscillator provides the clock signal, which is used to switch the MOSFETs on and off in a synchronous manner. The PWM controller uses the clock signal to control the duty cycle, which sets the output voltage.

The TPS54315PWPRG4 has two additional inputs- an error amplifier and a feedback voltage. The error amplifier is used to compare the output voltage to the reference voltage and generates an error voltage proportional to the difference between the two. This error voltage is used to control the duty cycle, which affects the output voltage. The feedback voltage is used to ramp the switching frequency up and down.

The TPS54315PWPRG4 also has several other pins that can be configured to meet the specific needs of the application. These include a power-good pin, an enable pin, a soft-start pin, and a programmable voltage reference. The power-good pin will provide an indication when the output voltage is within the specified range. The enable pin can be used to turn the regulator on and off at will. The soft-start pin provides a ramping voltage that can be used to determine the output voltage at startup. The programmable voltage reference is used to control the output voltage.

In summary, TPS54315PWPRG4 is a DC/DC synchronous step-down switching regulator with good efficiency and transient response. It is suitable for low power applications where either a very low voltage or high input voltage may be present. As a PMIC - Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators, TPS54315PWPRG4 has several advantages and applications.
