Product recommendation for Super-Cap charging

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS7A37, TPS22950, TPS25940, TPS25947

Hi, TI expert.

There is an inquiry from a customer for recommending a device that meets the specifications below for Super-Cap charging.

5V voltage input/output / Current control 0.5~1A / No QOD / Product with reverse current prevention function

Please recommend a suitable product.

Thank you.

  • Hey Grady, 

    This is a large current range, do they expect to have it up to 1A? What do you mean by QOD? 

    For a 5V with 1A and reverse current protection I would recommend the TPS7A37 a low drop out regulator (see specs below).

      TPS7A37
    AEC Q100 NO
    Output Options Adjustable Output, Fixed Output
    Iout (Max) (A) 1
    Vin (Max) (V) 5.5
    Vin (Min) (V) 2.2
    Vout (Max) (V) 5.5
    Vout (Min) (V) 1.2
    Fixed Output Options (V) 2.1, 2.5
    Enable YES
    Power Good NO
    Output Capacitor Type Ceramic
    PSRR @ 100KHz (dB) 32
    Noise (uVrms) 32
    Accuracy (%) 1
    Vdo (Typ) (mV) 130
    Iq (Typ) (mA) 0.4
    Thermal Resistance θJA (°C/W) 67
    Min Package Area (mm2) 4
    Package Type WSON

  • Hi, McKyla

    The customer wants to review it with a Load switch or EFUSE rather than an LDO.

    It means No QOD (No Quick output discharge).

    - 5V voltage input/output
    - Current Limit 0.5~1A
    - No QOD (No Quick output discharge)
    - Product with reverse current prevention function

    Please check the recommended device with a suitable load switch or EFUSE.

    Thank you.

  • Hey Grady, 

    This is not my expertise, I reassigned this to load switch group, they will be able to best help with this. 

    Thanks,

  • Hello Grady,

    Our load switch portfolio has a few current limiting devices; however, each one is either outside of the current range you're looking for (TPS2294x) or has QOD (TPS22950). I'll let our efuse team comment on whether they have options that will work with your requirements.

  • Hello Grady,

    eFuses TPS25947, TPS25940 would be suitable. https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slva920/slva920.pdf 

    What is the value of super-capacitor ?
