TPS254900-Q1: 5.1k resistor depop, Client Mode

Hi Ansel,

Thanks for the insight. Will there be any system impact if the 5.1k is depoped? Will there be any loss of any features?

Thanks,

Jared

Hi Ansel,

Do you mean that the device will no longer protect itself in a short to battery situation?

Thanks,

Jared

Hi Ansel,

Would it be possible to provide a little more explanation for what the 5.1k resistor is doing to protect the system in a short to battery or ESD strike situation? The datasheet calls it a discharge resistor, but I am not sure how it is used to protect the device. Any insight you can provide would be greatly apprecaited!

Thank you,

Jared

Hi Ansel,

Absolutely, just sent a note on the email thread.
