TPS929240-Q1: TPS929240 chip internal temperature sensor temperature

Part Number: TPS929240-Q1

Tool/software:

Hello experts,

we plan to use TPS929240 in a new project. We plan to use the temperature sensor inside the chip to achieve thermal derating. We tested it on a PCB containing 8 929240, it is found that the temperature difference is relatively large in the case of no lighting and current. At most, 2 ADC data can be lost. We want to know the accuracy of temperature detection inside the chip and whether there are any good suggestions for us.

  • Hi lin,

    The deviation is +-15 degree for internal temperature detection. If you want to use a more accurate temperature management, please refer to the below description in the 6.3.6.5 Pre-Thermal Warning in NORMAL state, one channel can be used to connect an external PTC or NTC for thermal derating.

  • Thank you for your reply. I plan to make the following circuit according to your prompt. As shown in the figure, I use the spare channel to directly detect the voltage value of NTC, and then read it back through tps929240. Here are some questions: how should I configure this channel, my idea is to turn off the OUTEN of this channel, and then just read the ADC of this channel, are there any other precautions?

  • Hello, how should I understand the internal deviation of 15 degrees? Is there a deviation of 15 degrees when the chip reads ADC data?

  • Hi Lin,

    I think you can output a fixed current to the NTC resistor directly on this OUT path, then read the pin voltage to see the change. it would be easier.

    Thanks, BR.

  • Hi Lin, 

    I think you can consider it as the final temperature information deviation.
