Hi,
in a new product I've to convert 12VDC to 3V3 (8 Amps).
TPS51315 is a good candidate with integrated MOS.
My question concerns the V5IN pin. A Webbench schematic connect directly this V5IN pin to the input voltage. However, the datasheet absolute rating is 6V for this pin?!?
If, I cannot connect my 12V input on this pin, is-it conceivable to powering this pin with a simple resistor divider (+ capacitor) ? I don't want to add a small LDO on my board only for that.
Thank you in advance,
Vincent
