TPS548B23EVM: Bode plot faliure

Part Number: TPS548B23EVM

Tool/software:

Hi team,

My customer is testing our TPS548B23 EVM on bode plot.

We change Lout to 0.82uH and vout setting to 3.3V, frequency change to 600kHz.
At 0% and 50% load, the bode phase margin are under 45 degree. That looks just fail at boundary, I think changing ground and measure again, might see different results. Another thing, if this doesn't work, will you suggest to change any components?

Could please help to check?
Bode test waveform as below for your reference.

Fig1. 0A, Fsw = 600kHz

Hi team,

Some other information from customer,

Since the datasheet specifies that the Bode plot should meet 50°.

BTW, why does this part, which operates in D-CAP mode, require a Bode plot analysis?

Hi Oliver,

Increasing the inductor from 550nH to 820nH reduces the loop bandwidth, leading to a lower crossover frequency and phase margin. To improve this, we should decrease the output capacitance.

The datasheet recommends checking the phase margin if output capacitance exceeds the maximum limit, as high capacitance can lower the loop crossover frequency and phase margin.

For D-CAP mode, we suggest a target phase margin of 50 degrees to avoid ringing during load changes.

Thank you,
Tomoya

Hi Tomoya,

We reduced the six 47uF MLCCs to three and added a 220uF POSCAP for testing. The test results are as follows. Is this configuration OK?

Iout:16A,Fsw=600k Hz.

Hi Oliver,

This configuration looks great!

Thank you,
