TPS5402 COMP pin

Hi,

I am designing a buck converter based on TPS5402 chip. By reading the datasheet I don't understand the criteria to choose Rc and Cc values.

It says " Error amplifier output and input to the PWM comparator. Connect frequency compensation components to COMP 6 this pin"

Can someone help me with this issue?

Thank you.

They don't really cover that at all in the datasheet do they? The TPS5402 is just current mode control. Are you an experienced dc/dc converter designer? If so you can just design the compensation as you normally would. If not I can possibly help you with it. Let me know your input and output voltage and current requirements. Have you already chosen Cout and Lout?

Best Regards,

I have no experience designing dc/dc converter. This is my first design. I dont want you to spend much time with this, so as long as you can provide me a guide to understand this problem it will be fine.

My requeriments are input voltage between 5-24v and fixed output voltage around 4-5v (I am not sure if it can work with 5v input voltage and 5v output voltage) . Output current around 1A its fine.

Basically what I'm designing is the power stage of a battery powered device which should work with either a solar cell or wide voltage DC conection (5-24v)

Thank you.

I would probably use this document to calculate compensation:
http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps54040.pdf
Start on page 33. Make sure to use the parameters from TPS5402, gmps = 9 A/V, gmea = 92E-6 and vref = 0.8 V.
Let me know if you have problems.

Thank you so much! This application note was really helpful.

I have a last question. Those equations are related with Vout. What happen if Vout is not fixed?

That's one of the disadvantages of current mode control. The loop response will change with Vout. If your Vout does not change much you can design a circuit that is stable over the range of output voltages. If you need a wide range of adjust ability, you may be better off with voltage mode control.
