Functional Description
The TS30011/12/13 current-mode synchronous step-down
regulator is ideal for use in the commercial, industrial, and
automotive market segments. It includes flexibility to be
used for a wide range of output voltages and is optimized for
high efficiency power conversion with low RDSON integrated
synchronous switches. A 1MHz internal switching frequency
facilitates low cost LC filter combinations. Additionally, the
fixed output versions enable reduce the external component
count and provide a complete regulation solution with only 4
external components: an input bypass capacitor, an inductor,
an output capacitor, and the bootstrap capacitor. The regulator
automatically transitions between PFM and PWM mode to
maximize efficiency for the load demand.
The TS30011/12/13 provides these system benefits:
• Reduced board real estate
• Lower system cost
Lower cost inductor
Low external parts count
• Ease of design
Bill of Materials and suggested board layout provided
Power Good output
Integrated compensation network
Wide input voltage range
• Robust solution
Over current, over voltage and over temperature
protection
Detailed Pin Description
Unregulated input, VCC
This terminal is the unregulated input voltage source for the
IC. It is recommended that a 10uF bypass capacitor be placed
close to the device for best performance. Since this is the main
supply for the IC, good layout practices need to be followed for
this connection.
Bootstrap control, BST
This terminal provides the bootstrap voltage required for the
upper internal NMOS switch of the buck regulator. An external
ceramic capacitor placed between the BST input terminal and
the VSW pin provides the necessary voltage for the upper
switch. In normal operation the capacitor is recharged on
every switching cycle when the low-side NMOS is on.
In the case of where the switch mode approaches 100% duty
cycle for the high side FET, the device automatically reduces
the duty cycle switch to a minimum off time on every 8th cycle
to allow this capacitor to re-charge
Sense feedback, FB
This is the input terminal for the output voltage feedback.
For the fixed output versions, this should be hooked directly to
VOUT. The PCB connection should be kept as short as possible,
and should be made as close as possible to the output
capacitor. The trace should not be shared with any other
connection. (Figure 24)
For adjustable output versions, the FB input should be
connected to the external resistor divider. To choose the
resistors, use the following equation:
VOUT = 0.9 (1 + RTOP/RBOT )
The FB input is high impedance and input current should be
less than 100nA. As a result, good layout practices are required
for the feedback resistors and feedback traces. When using the
adjustable version, the feedback trace should be kept as short
as possible with minimum width to reduce stray capacitance
and to reduce the injection of noise.
For adjustable output versions, the ratio of VCC/VOUT cannot
exceed 16.
Switching output, VSW
This is the switching node of the regulator. It should be
connected directly to the 4.7uH inductor with a wide, short
trace and also to one end of the Bootstrap capacitor. This node
switches between VCC and PGND at the switching frequency.
Ground, GND
This ground is used for the majority of the device including the
analog reference, control loop, and other circuits.
Power Ground, PGND
This is a separate power ground connection used for the low-
side synchronous switch, to isolate switching noise from the
rest of the device. (Figure 24)
Enable, EN
This is the input terminal to activate the regulator. The input
threshold is TTL/CMOS compatible. It also has an internal pull-
up to ensure a stable state if the pin is disconnected.
