TPS2553-1: About "TPS2553's ILIM pin function check"

Part Number: TPS2553-1


Hi, team.

My customers are planning to use TPS2553DBVR-1.

My customer is trying to check the Current Limit Function, please check with the confirmation method below and tell me whether there is no problem.

<Question>

Is there no problem with applying 5V from the outside to NO.5 pin?

※Customer try to "apply 5 V to the pin 5 to make a pseudo overcurrent condition and confirm that the output voltage of the 6 pin stops".

※The customer did not mention the conditions of IOUT, but I will separately tell you that there is a minimum load of 100 mA even if shorting ILIM to IN by me.

Basically, I understand that the description of the application of external voltage is not included in the data sheet, but since the customer is focusing on "ILIM short to VIN", I want you to tell me.

Best regards,

Masumi Sekiguchi

  • Hi,
    This is not a good solution for stop the output voltage use set the Ilimit pin high. Even though Ilimit pin can sustain 7V max value .
    Why customer don't use "Enable" pin to do this funtion .
  • Thank you for contact.

    When giving answers, I'll be sure to tell customer that it is better to control with the EN pin for the purpose of resetting the IC .

    But, this time customer's purpose is to conduct such tests to check the current limit function.
    Therefore, please tell me about the following.
    ① Is it possible to confirm with the following measures?

     Is there no problem with applying 5V from the outside to NO.5 pin?
    ※The customer did not mention the conditions of IOUT, but I will separately tell you that there is a minimum load of 100 mA even if shorting ILIM to IN by me.

    ② If the answer is YES, is there no problem in operation?

  • Hi ,
    If Ilimit pin voltage value don't exceed 7V, it should be OK.
