TPL0401A-10: The calculation of One parallel resistor (Rpar = R11) and one series resistor (Rser = R10)

Part Number: TPL0401A-10
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS54040A

I try to calculate R11& R7 by equation(24) & (25), but can't get right value in figure-9.

Please help, thank you.

  • Hi Jason,

    I think I have derived the correct equation, but it does not result in the 46.4k R11 value that they have shown. I have reached out to the original designers but there is no promise that we'll hear back from them. I'll post my equation here:

    This results in an R11 value of 37.7k. The equation for R7 will be the same, but I do not calculate the same value they have shown due to the different R11 value. In the case that I do hear back from the designers I will update you here. 

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance!

    Best,

  • Hi Katlynne,

    Thank for your answer, but I still can't have the same value as yours. Here are my parameters and results of R11 & R7.

    Could you help to check it, thank you!

  • Hi Jason,

    You are using a Vref of 1.2V. Per section 4.2.2, the Vref voltage from the TPS54040A is 0.8V:

    That is the value I used to calculate the 37.7k. You can use a different reference but the resistors will change in order stay within the max and min Vout voltage that you want. 

    Best,
