TPS650250 LDO sequence

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS650250

Hola,

I have a question about TPS650250 power on sequence as below:

Why VDDS_IO1_1V8 stable time is faster than +5V_IN about 200uS?Is this a normal phenomenon?If yes, why?

Below figures are EVM test result、test environment and schematic:

The EVM's EN_LDO and +5V_IN are connected together, so we compare output waveform with +5V_IN and LDO 1.8V.

After compared, the VDDS_IO1_1V8 stable time is faster than VDD_5V0 about 1.79mS,

and we found that the VDD_IO1_1V8 will be stable when +5V_VIN is about at 2.5V.

Then we measured it again on our board and you can refer to below schematic(SCHEMATIC1 _ 07 - CPU PMIC),

EN_LDO and +5V_IN are not connected together so we used two prob respectively for those two power.

And we found that the VDDS_IO1_1V8 stable time is faster than +5V_IN about 140.6uS.

We've checked the spec of TPS650250 and its VIH/MIN is 1.45V、VIL/MAX is 0.4V as below table:

The VDDS_IO1_1V8 is powered on at 791.75mV, should we need to let EN_LDO input voltage lower than VIL 0.4V for complete turn it off?

  • The TPS650250 UVLO is at about 2.5V so, that is where the rail will turn on if enabled. The LDOs are very fast turn on time so, my theory is that both LDOs are enabled with VIN once VIN > UVLO. They come up first because their soft-start ramp up time is much shorter than the DCDCs. As for the VIH of the EN pins, It can turn on before the min 1.4V. The min 1.4V means that in order to guarantee that all digital signals are interpreted as a HIGH signal the input must be greater than 1.4V, (the minimum value).
