DUAL OR 2-PHASE, STACKABLE CONTROLLER

SLUS660A – SEPTEMBER 2005 – REVISED JULY 2006

A synchronous BUCK power stage has two primary current loops – The input current loop which carries

high AC discontinuous current while the output current loop carries high DC continuous current. The input

current loop includes the input capacitors, the main switching MOSFET, the inductor, the output capacitors

and the ground path back to the input capacitors. To keep this loop as small as possible, it is generally

good practice to place some ceramic capacitance directly between the drain of the main switching

MOSFET and the source of the synchronous rectifier (SR) through a power ground plane directly under

the MOSFETs. The output current loop includes the SR MOSFET, the inductor, the output capacitors, and

the ground return between the output capacitors and the source of the SR MOSFET. As with the input

current loop, the ground return between the output capacitor ground and the source of the SR MOSFET

should be routed under the inductor and SR MOSFET to minimize the power loop area. The SW node

area should be as small as possible to reduce the parasitic capacitance and minimize the radiated

emissions. The gate drive loop impedance (HDRV-gate-source-SW and LDRV-gate-source- GND) should

be kept to as low as possible. The HDRV and LDRV connections should widen to 20mils as soon as

possible out from the IC pin.

The TPS40140 provides separate signal ground (GND) and power ground (PGND) pins. It is required to

separate properly the circuit grounds. The return path for the pins associated with the power stage should

be through PGND. The other pins especially for those sensitive pins such as FB, RT and ILIM should be

through the low noise GND. The GND and PGND plane are suggested to be connected at the output

capacitor with single 20 mil trace. A minimum 0.1-

µF ceramic capacitor must be placed as close to the

VDD pin and GND as possible with at least 15-mil wide trace from the bypass capacitor to the GND. A

4.7-

µF ceramic capacitor should be placed as close to VREG pin and GND as possible. BP5 is the filtered

input from the VREG pin. A 4.7 -

Ω resistor should be connected between VREG and BP5 and a 1-µF

ceramic capacitor should be connected from BP5 to GND. Both components should be as close to BP5

pin as possible. When DCR sensing method is applied, the sensing resistor is placed close to the SW

node. It is connected to the inductor with Kelvin connection. The sensing traces from the power stage to

the chip should be away from the switching components. The sensing capacitor should be placed very

close to the CS and CSRT pins. The frequency setting resistor should be placed as close to RT pin and

GND as possible. The VOUT and GSNS pins should be directly connected to the point of load where the

voltage regulation is required. A parallel pair of 10-mil traces connects the regulated voltage back to the

chip. They should be away from the switching components. The PowerPAD should be electrically

connected to GND.

The PowerPAD™ package provides low thermal impedance for heat removal from the device. The

PowerPAD™ derives its name and low thermal impedance from the large bonding pad on the bottom of

the device. The circuit board must have an area of solder-tinned-copper underneath the package. The

dimensions of this area depend on the size of the PowerPAD™ package.

Thermal vias connect this area to internal or external copper planes and should have a drill diameter

sufficiently small so that the via hole is effectively plugged when the barrel of the via is plated with copper.

This plug is needed to prevent wicking the solder away from the interface between the package body and

the solder-tinned area under the device during solder reflow. Drill diameters of 0,33 mm (13 mils) works

well when 1-oz copper is plated at the surface of the board while simultaneously plating the barrel of the

via. If the thermal vias are not plugged when the copper plating is performed, then a solder mask material

should be used to cap the vias with a diameter equal to the via diameter plus 0,1 mm minimum. This

capping prevents the solder from being wicked through the thermal vias and potentially creating a solder

void under the package. Refer to PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced Package for more information on the

PowerPAD™ package.
