TPS3851: Schematic review

Part Number: TPS3851

Hi Team, 

Could you please review schematic of TPS3851H33EDRBR.

Below is the schematic of TPS3851H33EDRBR, I think the circuit is ok, but I am not very sure.

  • Hi Jason,

    I have reviewed the schematic and I agree the circuit is okay, everything looks good.

    Please let me know if there are any other questions.

  • Hi Jake,

    Thanks for your help.

    My customer want to set a function, if WDI pin do not get the signal between 10s ~ 20s, it will trigger the reset.
    Do you know how to control the time between 10s ~ 20s?


    Jason

  • Hi Jason,

    Can you please provide me a timing diagram of the function your customer wants to add?

    It is not clear to me exactly what is being asked.

    Jake

  • Hi Jake,

    My customer haven't finished the timing diagram, when he finished I will let you know.

  • Hi Jake,
    I put the "This resolved my issue" on the other E2E Question, so I am not sure if you still could see my response.

    The "@" symbol means there is no component on the circuit. so the Pin 8 is tied the 10k resistor to ground.

    If my customer want to tick between 10-20 seconds, how should they do to tune this value? change the value of capacitor?

    If you still could see, I will closed this issue.

    thanks

  • Hi Jason,

    Yes I can still  see the other E2E question.

    The "@" symbol means there is no component on the circuit. so the Pin 8 is tied the 10k resistor to ground.

    When you say the Pin 8 is tied the 10k resistor to ground, I assume you mean that Pin 5 is tied to the 10k resistor to ground, and as long as the M_WATCHDOG_EN signal is strong enough to pull this node up, then the watchdog will be able to turn on. 

    If my customer want to tick between 10-20 seconds, how should they do to tune this value? change the value of capacitor?

    Yes the value of the capacitor connected to CWD controls this value in accordance with this equation from the datasheet:

  • Hi Jack,

    Sorry, I need to revise my comments,

    the Pin 5 is tied the 10k to ground. the Pin 8 is tied the 10k to +3.3V.

    My customer need to use the formula to let tWD = 10s~20s?

    Jason

  • Hi Jake,

    Could you also tell me what the difference between standard timing WDT and extended timing WDT,

    the total time is standard timing WDT plus extended timing WDT?

    My customer uses 1000nF to calculate, the result is 89.07s > 10~20s. but you said the value is lower, so I am confused about that.

    could you give me an example?


    Jason

  • Hi Jason, 

    Thank you for the revision of your comments. I think my previous answer still applies to this revision.

    Yes, the formula will allow the customer to calculate the value of capacitance needed to change the tWD timing.

    Jake

  • Hi Jason, 

    The difference between standard timing WDT and extended timing WDT has to do with which OPN the customer is using. 

    The part listed is the TPS3851H33EDRBR device. 

    In the datasheet on page 23, there is table 11-1 which shows the nomenclature of the device:

    At the bottom there is the 'z' entry for nominal watchdog timeout period showing that for 'E' variants, the extended equation applies.

    Jake

  • Hi Jack, 

    I got it.

    Thanks.
