TPS40210: for battery applications

Hi Team,

The converter output turns off after loading >0.5A.

Customer tried circuit as per webench design. Does this IC work for battery charging application? Like fixed 2A current mode control.

Regards

Andreas

  • Hello Andreas,

    The converter regulates the voltage on the FB pin. Dependent on what you are applying there, e.g. a resistor divider for voltage control or a resistor (as can be seen on the TPS40211 EVM) in series to LEDs, the voltage drop on this resistor.

    So if you want to charge with a constant current, you should use TPS40211 as the FB voltage is lower.

    If you need a more detailed check of the circuit, please share the schematic.

    Best regards,
    Brigitte
