TPS53515: About customer use condition

Part Number: TPS53515

Hi,

Could you advice on the customer's use conditions..
Customer condition is:
Vin=5V、Vout=1.2V、Iout≒4A
Fsw=850kHz、L=6.8uH、Co≒150uF

Customers are worried about operating stability due to the use of 6.8uH inductor.
Please give your advice.

Best Regards,
Yusuke/Japan Disty

  • Hi
    Why customer want to use a 6.8uH inductor ? For reducing the output ripple?
    Normally, big value inductor and cap will decrease the cross frequency, it will lead to a bad transient performance, and it also have a risk of loop stable. According to the WEBENCH, it recommands a 2.2uH and 300uF (Cout). So choose Cout=150uF and L=4.7uH may be more balance for the output ripple and transient.
  • There may be some problems with that. The recommended ripple current is 25 to 35 % of the output current. In your case that calculates an inductor value of 0.894 uH (1 uH closest standard value). Additionally, that LC combination places the output filter double pole at 5 kHz. It should be aligned near the ripple injection zero.
