TPS40060: Why TPS40060 max. output current is 10A

justin hustee
Prodigy 30 points
Part Number: TPS40060
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5145

Tool/software:

According to TI website, TPS40060 max. output current is 10A. TPS40060 data sheet, product information and support | TI.com What are factors that put this limitation and what will happen if it is run with higher than 10A current? I guess the risk level also depends on the current level.

We have used this IC for our previous products, and it works well and may use it for an upcoming product with higher current (15A is preferred). Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

    Hello,

    The current limit of the device is programmable and it could be configured for 15A assuming all of the external components were sized properly. One possible limiting factor is the ability of the IC to drive the external FETs required to meet your output requirements. Make sure to follow all recommendations in the datasheet when generating a design.

    A similar device which could also meet the 15A requirement is the LM5145: https://www.ti.com/product/LM5145

    The datasheet of the LM5145 includes example efficiency data up to 20A of output current.

    Best regards,

    Ridge
