Единственное, что там существенно ограничивает: BOOTSTRAP VOLTAGE (BOOT)
The TPS54331 has an integrated boot regulator and requires a 0.1 F ceramic capacitor between the BOOT and
PH pin to provide the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R
grade dielectric is recommended because of the stable characteristics over temperature and voltage. To improve
drop out, the TPS54331 is designed to operate at 100% duty cycle as long as the BOOT to PH pin voltage is
greater than 2.1 V typically.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE LIMITATIONS
Due to the internal design of the TPS54331, there are both upper and lower output voltage limits for any given
input voltage. The upper limit of the output voltage set point is constrained by the maximum duty cycle of 91%
and is given by Equation 31:
VOmax = 0.91 × ((VIN min )
- IO max × RDS(on) max + VD )- (IO max × RL ) - VD
(31)
Where:
VIN min = Minimum input voltage
IO max = Maximum load current
VD = Catch diode forward voltage
RL = Output inductor series resistance
The equation assumes maximum on resistance for the internal high-side FET.
The lower limit is constrained by the minimum controllable on time which may be as high as 130 ns. The
approximate minimum output voltage for a given input voltage and minimum load current is given by Equation 32:
VOmin = 0.089 × ((VIN max )
- IO min × RDS(on) min + VD )- (IO min × RL ) - VD
(32)
Where:
VIN max = Maximum input voltage
IO min = Minimum load current
VD = Catch diode forward voltage
RL = Output inductor series resistance
This equation assumes nominal on-resistance for the high-side FET and accounts for worst case variation of
operating frequency set point. Any design operating near the operational limits of the device should be carefully
checked to assure proper functionality.
PS: при 30 вольтах входного это где-то минимум 3 вольта выходного получается. Что вполне приемлимо для вопрошающего. И 4.5 вольта входного вполне достаточно (если не выбрать особо выдающиеся индуктивность и диод) для получения выходного в 3.3в. Нужно расчитать порог UVLO, в зависимости от тока нагрузки, и соответствующие резисторы применить для отключения при напряжении 4.5в (а не 3.5 как по-умолчанию).
