TPS1663: Max pin current (RGE package)

Tristan Robinson

Part Number: TPS1663

Hi, I was wondering if you can specific the max pin current for TPS16630RGER? Please note I'm not referring to the current limit threshold of the device, but the maximum current for a given input or output pin.

This is relevant in case one input or output pins is left floating, and the full current is channeled through a single pin instead of two. Thanks for your time!

Best regards,

Tristan

Thanks Kunal, please let me know when you hear back.

By the way, my customer has another question regarding UL 2367 for this device. In the datasheet, we see the following:

UL 2367 recognized
– File No. E169910
– RILIM ≥ 3 kΩ

However, on the UL website, we see that "Devices can be rated to a maximum current limit of 5A".

For case where RILIM = 3 kΩ, then ILIM = 18/3 = 6A. Does this mean the device is qualified to 6A (or 6.42A max according to 7.5 Electrical Characteristics), in spite of UL claim of 5A max?

Best regards,
Tristan

Hi Kunal, any updates on the original question above? If it helps, we just need to know whether or not a single input/output pin can support >=5A.

Thanks again,
Tristan
