TPS543C20: TPS543C20 Device ILIM value

Part Number: TPS543C20

Tool/software:

Hi,

Am using the TPS543C20RVFT part in my device to convert 12V to 3.3V voltage, how can i calculate the ILIM resistor value.

Got the below formulae from datasheet, but am unable to get how this Rlim is choosen?

Vlim= ILim x RLIM

  • Hi Balkis,

    The OCP calculation is a few step process. First you calculate the desired VILIM using your desired OCP in equation (3), then you can use the ILIM with VILIM and ILIM (11.2uA) in equation (2).

  • Hi Britton,

    To verify these formulae, i have simulated the TPS543C20A device by keeping the below data and used the equation 2 and 3 to calculate RILIM value. 

    Data used to calculate:
    Freq = 1MHz
    OCP current = 42
    IND = 220nH
    VIN =12V
    VOUT = 3.3V
    RDS on = 0.58 mΩ |valid for VDD ≥ 5 V. Use 0.58 mΩ for RDS(on)
    VDD = 12V

    In calculation RILIM i got from eq 2 and 3 is 39.285K ~ 40.2K in simulation. Hence i assume approximate value is selected. Please correct me if am wrong.

    Attached simulation result.

    Thanks in advance.

  • This seems correct. Thanks
