TPS63060 – About PG function and EN pin (start-up sequence)

Guru 21045 points

Hi Team,

 

Our customer is studying about start-up sequence.

So, They would like to avoid those simultaneous power on.

(Please refer to the following.)

 

[Start-up sequence]

First:   Vin=4.5V to 8.6V(2cell) , Vout=5.15V , Iout=300mA (max)

Second: Vin=4.5V to 8.6V(2cell) , Vout=7.1V , Iout=1.2A (max)

 

 

However, they are concerned about contents as follows.

Could you please let me ask the following question?

And, Could you please let me know it if you have other advice?

 

[Question1]

Could you please let me know about input impedance of EN pin?

The pull-up resister of PG pin is 1Mohm.

(This value is mentioned in datasheet.)

Thus, They are concerned that the EN voltage lowers than the voltage that they assumed(5.15V) if it is low impedance(for example 1Mohm).

 

[Question2-1]

They would like to understand about PG function.

PG pin is the open drain, thus I guess that the PG output will be high impedance if the output voltage is normal.

However, according to datasheet, it is low impedance.

Which of those is correct?

 

 

[Question2-2]

I’m understanding that the PG output voltage continues high level if the output voltage is normal.

And, if the output voltage decreases or abnormal conditions of the this device, the PG output voltage will be low level, 0.4V(max).

Is my understanding correct?

  • I think your circuit proposal is quite reasonable.

    Q1: Impedance of EN-Pin.
    The EN Pin is an logical input Pin and has a typical leakage of 10nA


    Q2: Power Good Functionality
    The PG works in a way that it is low (low impedance) as long as the output current is higher than what the control circuit demands. This is always the case when the outpu voltage is lower that its target.

  • Hi Florian-san,

     

    Thank you for the information.

    I understood. thank you very much.
