TPS3704-Q1: Clarification needed in TPS3704-Q1 ADJ_resistor_calculator document

Tool/software:

Hi we are interested in your product TPS37043BJOFDDFRQ1, Voltage supervisor in the TPS3704-Q1 ADJ_resistor_calculator document , there mentioned as current need to flow in R2 resistor is considered as at least 50 times the I sense, why particularly 50 times is there any technical requirement to take the current value?

Is this condition/Consideration applicable to any voltage divider circuit along with any other ICs (ADC, Supervisor ICs)?

Hello,

Due to the US holidays, our team will respond back the week of July 7^th.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello Pavithra,

The 50x recommendation is more of a good practice rule of thumb. We want to ensure that there is adequate current for the necessary voltage drop of R2 and enough to supply the sense current of 350 nA. Of course the user could use a scalar less than the 50x, just be sure that in your calculation the current is adequate for the R2 voltage drop and Isense.

Oscar Ambriz
