(5) 7.3.5 soft-start the tps55340-q1 device has a built-in soft-start circuit that significantly reduces the start-up current spike and output voltage overshoot. when the ic is enabled, an internal bias current source (6 a typical) charges a capacitor (c (ss) ) on the ss pin. the voltage at the capacitor clamps the output of the internal error amplifier that determines the peak current and duty cycle of the pwm controller. limiting the peak switch current during start- up with a slow ramp on the ss pin reduces in-rush current and output voltage overshoot. when the capacitor reaches 1.8 v, the soft-start cycle is complete and the soft-start voltage no longer clamps the error amplifier output. when the en is pulled low for at least 1 ms, the ic enters the shutdown mode and the ss capacitor is discharged through a 5-k ? resistor to prepare for the next soft-start sequence. 7.3.6 slope compensation to prevent sub-harmonic oscillations, the tps55340-q1 device uses internal slope compensation. use equation 6 to calculate the sensed current slope of boost converter. (6) use equation 7 to calculate the slope compensation dv/dt. (7) in a converter with current mode control, in addition to the output voltage feedback loop, the inner current loop including the inductor current sampling effect as well as the slope compensation on the small-signal response must be taken into account as calculated in equation 8 .

(10) at light loads the converter operates in dcm. in this case the duty cycle is a function of the load, input voltage, output voltages, inductance, and switching frequency as calculated in equation 11 . the light-load duty cycle can be calculated only after an inductance is selected (see the selecting the inductor (l1) section). while operating in dcm with very-light load conditions the duty cycle demand forces the tps55340-q1 device to operate with the minimum on time. the converter then begins pulse skipping which can increase the output ripple.

(16) (17) (18) the tps55340-q1 device has built-in slope compensation to avoid subharmonic oscillation associated with current mode control. if the inductor value is too small, the slope compensation may not be adequate, and the loop can be unstable. 8.2.1.2.4 computing the maximum output current the overcurrent limit for the integrated power mosfet limits the maximum input current and thus the maximum input power for a given input voltage. maximum output power is less than maximum input power because of power conversion losses. therefore, the current-limit setting, input voltage, output voltage, and efficiency can all change the maximum current output (i o max). the current-limit clamps the peak inductor current and therefore the ripple must be subtracted to derive maximum dc current. decreasing the k (ind) value or designing for a higher efficiency increases the maximum output current. use the selected inductance or the selected k (ind) value to calculate the maximum output current. use equation 19 , the minimum input voltage, and minimum peak current-limit (i (lim) ) of 5.25 a to calculate the maximum output current. (19) for this design, with a 5-v input boosted to 24-v output, a 10- h inductor with an assumed the schottky forward voltage of 0.5 v, and estimated efficiency of 85%, the maximum output current is calculated to be 871 ma. with a 12-v input and increased estimated efficiency of 90%, the maximum output current calculated value increases to 2.13 a. this circuit was evaluated to the maximum output currents with both the minimum and maximum input voltage.

(20) (21) (22) (23) using equation 20 for this design, the minimum output capacitance for the specified 120-mv output ripple is 8.8 f. for a maximum transient-voltage change ( v (tran) ) of 960 mv with a 400 ma load transient ( i (tran) ), and a 6 khz control loop bandwidth ( ? bw ) with equation 22 , the minimum output capacitance is calculated as 11.1 f. the most stringent criteria is the 11.1 f for the required load transient. equation 23 calculates a 1.58-a rms current in the output capacitor. the capacitor must also be properly rated for the desired output voltage. care must be taken when evaluating ceramic capacitors that derate under dc bias, aging, and ac signal conditions. for example, larger form factor capacitors (in 1206 size) have self-resonant frequencies in the range of converter switching frequency. self-resonance significantly decreases the effective capacitance. the dc bias also significantly reduces capacitance. ceramic capacitors can lose as much as 50% of the capacitance when operated at the rated voltage. therefore, leave a margin when selecting the capacitor voltage rating to ensure adequate capacitance at the required output voltage. for this example, three 4.7- f, 50-v 1210 x7r ceramic capacitors are used in parallel leading to a negligible esr. selecting 50-v capacitors instead of 35-v capacitors reduces the effects of dc bias and allows this example circuit to be rated for the maximum output voltage range of the tps55340-q1 device. 8.2.1.2.6 selecting the input capacitors (c2 and c7) at least 4.7- f of ceramic input capacitance is recommended. additional input capacitance may be required to meet ripple requirements, transient requirements, or both. high-quality ceramic-type x5r or x7r capacitors are recommended to minimize capacitance variations over temperature. the capacitor must also have an rms- current rating greater than the maximum rms-input current of the tps55340-q1 device as calculated with equation 24 . the input capacitor must also be rated greater than the maximum input voltage. use equation 25 to calculate the input voltage ripple.

(26) (27) considering the leakage current through the resistor divider and noise decoupling into fb pin, an optimum value for r2 is around 10 k . the output voltage tolerance depends on the v (fb) accuracy and the tolerance of r1 and r2. in this example, with a 24 v output, r1 is calculated to 185.3 k using equation 27 . the nearest standard value of 187 k is used. 8.2.1.2.8 setting the soft-start time (c7) select the appropriate capacitor to set soft-start time and avoid overshoot. increasing the soft-start time reduces the overshoot during start-up. a 0.047 f ceramic capacitor is used in this example. 8.2.1.2.9 selecting the schottky diode (d1) the high switching frequency of the tps55340-q1 device demands high-speed rectification for optimum efficiency. ensure that the average current rating and peak current rating of the diode exceed the average output current and peak inductor current. in addition, the reverse breakdown voltage of the diode must exceed the regulated output voltage. the diode must also be rated for the power dissipated which is calculated using equation 28 . p d = v (d) i o (28) in this conservative design example, the selected diode is rated for the maximum output current of 2.13 a. during normal operation with 800-ma output current and assuming a schottky diode drop of 0.5 v, the diode must be capable of dissipating 400 mw. the recommended minimum ratings for this design are a 40-v, 3-a diode. however to improve the flexibility of this design, a diodes inc b540-13-f in an smc package with voltage and current ratings of 40 v and 5 a was selected for this desigh. 8.2.1.2.10 compensating the control loop (r3, c4, and c5) the tps55340-q1 device requires external compensation which allows the loop response to be optimized for each application. the comp pin is the output of the internal error amplifier. an external resistor (r3) and ceramic capacitor (c4) are connected to the comp pin to provide a pole and a zero as shown in the application circuit (see figure 17 ). this pole and zero, along with the inherent pole and zero of a boost converter, determine the closed loop frequency response which is important for converter stability and transient response. loop compensation must be designed for the minimum operating voltage. the following equations summarize the loop equations for the tps55340-q1 device configured as a ccm boost converter. the equations include the power stage output pole ( ? o ) and the right-half-plane zero ( ? (rhpz) ) of a boost converter calculated using equation 29 and equation 30 respectively. when calculating ? o , including the derating of ceramic output capacitors is important. in the example with an estimated 10.2- f capacitance, these frequencies are calculated to be 980 khz and 22.1 khz respectively. use equation 29 to calculate the dc gain (a) of the power stage which is 39.9 db in this design. use equation 32 and equation 33 to calculate the compensation pole ( ?
