TPS561201: TPS561201: Same Schematic with 3A ver. (Move to Internal)

Part Number: TPS561201
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS563201,

Hi team,

Can you please take a look into the attached schematic with TPS563201 to comment if they can reuse passive components with TPS561201?

Best regards,

Hayashi

  • Hi Hayashi!

    Just based on above information, it can reuse.

  • Hi Shuai,

    Customer's in/out is 14.5Vin_max, 5Vout, 600mA max. When I substitute these value into equation (4) to calculate Iripple

    Iripple = 5/14.5 * (14.5-5) / (3.3u * 580k) = 47.5/14.5 * 1/(3.3*0.58) = 1.71A

    So Iripple/2 = 0.86A. Because minimum current limit is 1.2A, customer should change the inductor to higher value, correct?

    When change to 4.7uH, Iripple/2 = 0.60A. It is few margin.

    When change to 6.8uH, Iripple/2 = 0.41A. It is guessed as OK. But is there any concern?

    Overall, is there any mistakes on what I calc?

    Regards,

    Hayashi

  • Hi Hideki,

    My colleague will give you reply by tomorrow!

  • Hi Hayashi!

    This device is valley inductor current protection. As long as your average current doesn't exceed 1.2A, 3.3uH can work.

    It suggests to add c108 with 10-30pF for stability.

  • Hi Shuai,

    I read the datasheet and found below, which seems confliction with your comment

    If the monitored current is above the OCL level, the converter maintains low-side FET on and delays the creation of a new set pulse, even the voltage feedback loop requires one

    I understands as below

    After HSFET On-time, LSFET will on and detect overcurrent immediately because the switch current (Iload + Iripple) exceeds OCL threshold (1.2A min). Then LSFET on-time is longer than Duty_off / fsw since LSFET keeps on until the overcurrent condition is removed. When the device repeats it in every switching period, the output voltage will be lower due to longer off-time.

    Is my understanding correct?

    Regards,

    Hayashi

  • Hi

    Your average current is just 0.6A. When inductor current from 1.7A to 1.2A, OCL protection will  be triggered, LSFET will have the highest priority to turn on. 

    One current be lower than 1.2A, protection logic will be canceled. The turn on/off behavior of LSFET will determined by normal logic. It will not affect the duty cycle.

    Assume it doesn't exist OCL protection, the behavior is the same.

    If customer still have concern, it is better to use 6.8uH. It is ok at my side.
