Enabling a TPS63002 with low input power

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS63002

Hello,

I use TPS63002 and I don't understand how to configure the low-pass filter (100 ohms and 100nF) on VinA, EN and PS/SYNC. Is it possible to remove it ?

In fact, I use a low power input which is 20V input with a series resistor of 180 ohms to go to Vin, which rises slowly due to a big input capacitor (several mF).

The problem I can see is that there is no current enough to start correctly the Buck-Boost.

If I check the output, I can see that there is 1.52V in stead of 5V.

If I increase a little bit the input current, I can see that 5V appears on the output.

I think that the high input series resistor is disturbing the EN pin.

Is there a possibility to change the value of this low-pass filter to avoid this enabling/disabling permanently at low current ?

Maybe there is a calculation with the Undervoltage lockout threshold ?

Thank you for your help.

  • Hello,


    I have done some further tests; I have removed the filter and I put directly VinA, EN and PS/SYNC to Vin but the regulation is not good, even when I use a powerful DC supply.

    When I apply 3.3V, I can see 3.9V on output in stead of 5V.

    Why the regulator doesn't succeed in providing 5V output ?

    Thank you for your help,

  • Hi,

    there is no calculation for undervoltage lockout. Undervoltage lockout is specified in datasheet, page 5.

    would you please share following more information regarding design:

    • what is the specification for power supply based on TPS63002:
      • input voltage range
      • output voltage: 5V
      • output current

    • Schematic
    • Layout

    Best regards
