TPS653852A-Q1: The influence of Vcp resistance on phase turn off

Part Number: TPS653852A-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi Teams,

The customer is working on EPS applications,

Regarding the Vcp section in the datasheet, there is a 10K resistor. If the resistor is not installed, what impact will it have on phase shutdown?

  • Hi Vayne,

    Per your attached schematic captures above, it appears because you are utilizing the charge pump for reverse battery protection, you need a 10Kohm series resistor in order to protect VCP pin from reverse current from gate, in the case of a phase turn off such that VCP is "off", a.k.a, in high-Z state no longer providing charge pump voltage out.

    Without the appropriately sized series resistor, you risk this reverse current damaging the VCP pin as the pin itself cannot handle a current >100uA.

    Please see attached datasheet snippet for reference:

    Best regards,
