TPS23753A: TPS23753 application question

Part Number: TPS23753A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS23753,

In datasheet of TPS23753A, Vc is introduced as follows, which mentions that Cvc requires a minimum of 0.22uF, and a larger total capacitance is required to start. The design manual of TPS23753 also mentions that the total capacitance affects the startup time and reduces the frequency of hiccup mode.

The current average power consumption of security is about 3W, and the peak power consumption is 10W. The design Cvc1 uses a 22uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor, and Cvc2 uses a 1uF ceramic capacitor.
I would like to ask the supplier, what are the risks if Cvc1 is replaced with a 10uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor? What is the main impact of startup time? What effect does it have on hiccup mode?

  • Hi Dane,

    Thanks for reaching out. I will get back to you by the end of this week.

  • Hi Dane,

    The VC cap influence the DC/DC start up delay and hiccup mode.

    For the DC/DC start up, the start up time depends on the VC current source and the VC capacitance for TPS23753A. To meet the standard, the PD should not draw more than 400-mA current in the 80-ms inrush delay. The DC/DC delay will contribute more than 8.65V*10uF/6mA = 14.42 ms for the inrush delay. But consider the operation of AF 13W PD won't have 400-mA current demand normally at the DC/DC starts (13W / 37V = 351mA < 400mA),10 uF is normally good to use for AF case. 

    For hiccup mode, the lower Vc capacitance the higher hiccup frequency.10 uF is a workable value for me too.

    Best regards,
