TPS2553: TPS2553 - REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION

Part Number: TPS2553

Hello,
I have two questions about TPS2553.

(1)
The condition of REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION.

I think that the condition of REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION is as follows.
(Vout-Vin)>135mV
Is the setting of the EN-terminal the condition of the REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION?

I cannot observe the protection behavior under the condition as follows.

VIN=5V
EN=VIN=5V
VOUT=5.5V

expectation: VIN=5V, VOUT=5.5V, FAULT=LOW
actual:VIN=5.5V, VOUT=5.5V, FAULT=HIGH

It becomes the expectation behavior when I make EN-terminal H ⇒ L ⇒ H.

When EN-terminal is Hgh fixation, does it not become the protection behavior?

Or it becomes the expectation behavior when I spend 1.2A on VIN by electronic load.
Is this behavior correct?

About Figure-10 of Page-9 of SLVS841F.


Does an electric current more than 1A flow till REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION acts?

  • Hi Dice,

    To my understand, the reverse protection need two condition :

    1) Vout higher than Vin more than 130mV.

    2) The time period of Vout higher than Vin need more than 4mS.

    3) En able pin is avtice.

  • Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your reply.

    But your answer is only what is written in the data sheet.

    Can you answer my questions?

  • Hello Dice,
    For question 1: Could you help to capture the Faul, vin, vout enable pin waveform for analysis ? I suspect of the time not longer than 4mS .
    For question 2: The reverse current needn't larger than 1A for reverse protection act .

  • Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your reply.

    Q1
    I ask my customer waveform. Please wait a little.

    Q2
    Does the red circle not express 1A?

  • Hello Dice,
    Q2 base on the waveform the reverse current have exceed 1A , but this is not the necessary condition for reverse protection act . It just a example ,the revese protection act condition is Vout>Vin 135mV and time need long than 4mS.

  • Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your reply about Q2.

    Does the value of Reverse-Current depend on the difference between VIN and VOUT?
    If difference between VIN and VOUT is small, is the value of Reverse-Current small?

    Of course on this condition " Vout-Vin>135mV ".

  • Hello Dice,

    Yes,the reverse current depend on Vin Cap and delta V( between Vin and Vout) .

    You can refer to the formula I=C*dV/dt , enlarge Vin cap and delta V then the revserse current wil increase accordingly .

  • Hello Dice,

    You can chek with my test waveform, Vout>Vin=160mV and Time is about 4.2mS then Fault signal assert . Pls. refer below waveform (Yellow: Vin Blue: Vout Pink: Fault ) . I think your customer haven't keep Vout >Vin  during the reverse period. you can pararell an resistor with Vin to discharge to  avoid this situation(keep Vin <Vout).
