Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2662,
Tool/software:
In the US-35180-UL certificate for IEC 62368-1:2014 compliance, the stated ratings are as follows:
TPS26630, TPS26631, TPS16630
Input Voltage: 4.5 - 60Vdc
Output Continuous Current: 0.54 - 1.3A
Output Current Limit: 0.66 - 1.6A
This tells me that for a 24 V system, I can only use the TPS26630 with a continuous current up to 1.3 A and the current limit needs to be set to 1.6A. And in no version or voltage is it certified for 6A.
Isn't it somewhat misleading to describe it as a 4.5-V to 60-V, 31mΩ, 0.6-6A eFuse? Or am I missing something?
I think it's a nice and handy IC, but since I'm designing for currents of up to 4 A, I cannot use it to "create" a limited-energy circuit. That is, I will need to go through the hassle of additional testing at the test house since the design is not a limited-energy circuit and is instead considered as a source of ignition.
