TPS2662: TPS26622 design calculator

Part Number: TPS2662

Tool/software:

Hello,

The TPS26622 calculator doesnt consider the case where UVLO pin is connected to RTN to disable it. R2 and R3 cant be set to 0ohm or removed.

Besides that I would like to understand what is the voltage rating of OVP pin, the datasheet says that is 5V tolerant but absolute ratings table says 4V. Moreover, connecting a 1M resistor between Vin and OVP voltage goes over maximum voltage rating of OVP pin.

Regards

  • Hello Francisco,

    The TPS26622 calculator doesnt consider the case where UVLO pin is connected to RTN to disable it. R2 and R3 cant be set to 0ohm or removed.

    I guess you are talking about disabling OVP. Yes, you can connect OVP pin to GND to disable. Design calculator doesn't allow remove the values. 

    Besides that I would like to understand what is the voltage rating of OVP pin, the datasheet says that is 5V tolerant but absolute ratings table says 4V. Moreover, connecting a 1M resistor between Vin and OVP voltage goes over maximum voltage rating of OVP pin.

    5V is the abs max value of OVP pin. Stresses beyond Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device.

    4V is the recommended operating voltage of OVP pin.

    Thanks

  • Hello Amrit, 

    I am sorry but your answer doesn't really solve my questions. While writing my initial post I mixed UVLO with OVP:

    - You say that OVP should be connected to GND? Datasheet says that it must be connected to RNT.

    Besides that I would like to understand what is the voltage rating of UVLO pin, the datasheet says that is 5V tolerant but absolute ratings table says 4V. Moreover, connecting a 1M resistor between Vin and OVP voltage goes over maximum voltage rating of OVP pin.

    Thanks

  • Hello Francisco,

    You say that OVP should be connected to GND? Datasheet says that it must be connected to RNT.

    Yes, it must be RTN. Sorry for the confusion.

    Besides that I would like to understand what is the voltage rating of UVLO pin, the datasheet says that is 5V tolerant but absolute ratings table says 4V. Moreover, connecting a 1M resistor between Vin and OVP voltage goes over maximum voltage rating of OVP pin.

    I understand the confusion. It's suggested to connect a 1M resistor from VIN to UVLO to reduce the UVLO pin current sinking. But you have to connect a divider along with 1M to make it below 4V. 

    Hope it clears the confusion.

    Thanks

  • A voltage divider while connecting a 1M  resistor? That is contradicting the datasheet in this case of use, specially Figure10-14

  • Hello Francisco,

     Figure10-14 is correct. You can connect 1M resistor to VIN directly.

    There is clamping diode at UVLO pin which can clamp the voltage below 5V for 60 uA below sinking current.

    Sorry for the confusion before.

    Thanks
