TPS25830A-Q1: Lout and Cin selection

Part Number: TPS25830A-Q1

Hello Team,

I have 2 questions about TPS25830A-Q1

Q. For the Lout, Can you please let me know the minimum Lout value which can avoid the sub-harmonic oscillation?

Q. For the Cin, is there any restriction of Cin value selection other than EMI requirement, Input ripple requirement?

Thanks,

Yuta Kurimoto

  • Hi,Yuta-san,

    Q1. What your min Vin?

    Q2. Beside EMI requirement, input ripple, I think other consideration will be "derating of ceramic capacitors", "long leads
    from the automotive battery to the IN pin of TPS2583x-Q1", "cold or warm engine crank requirements".

    Below is input capacitor selection guideline in datasheet FYI. 

    11.2.2.5 Input Capacitor Selection
    The TPS2583x-Q1 device requires high frequency input decoupling capacitor(s) and a bulk input capacitor,
    depending on the application. A high-quality ceramic capacitor type X5R or X7R with sufficient voltage ratings
    are recommended. To compensate the derating of ceramic capacitors, a voltage rating of twice the maximum
    input voltage is recommended. The bulk capacitance selection depends upon a number of factors: long leads
    from the automotive battery to the IN pin of TPS2583x-Q1, cold or warm engine crank requirements, etc. The
    bulk capacitor is used to dampen voltage spike due to the lead inductance of the cable or the trace. For this
    design, one 10 μF, 50 V, X7R ceramic capacitors are used. A 0.1 μF for high-frequency filtering and place it as
    close as possible to the device pins. Consider adding additional bulk capacitance for operation through low VIN
    warm-crank profiles is required by the vehicle OEM.

  • Hello Bob,

    Thanks for your answer.

    For the Q1, the Vin range is 4.5V~16V.

    For the Q2, thank you. I close this question.

  • Hi, Yuta-san,

    For the Q1, the minimum inductor value should be 3.3uH. We recommend 4.7uH for more margin.
