TPS65217C schematic checklist related query

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65217

Hi,

 We are using TPS65217C PMIC with MPU AM335X.

I have below queries regarding PMIC:

1) As per datasheet and user guide of PMIC, output capacitor value used for DCDC1, DCDC2 & DCDC3 is 10UF (shown at page no. 8 of user guide) while as per schematics checklist of PMIC it is recommended 22UF (mentioned at page no. 4). So, which value should i refer?

2) For INT_LDO pin, as per datasheet and user guide, 0.1UF (shown at page no. 8 of user guide) is used to connect this pin with GND while in schematics checklist 10UF is recommended (mentioned at page no. 4). So, what is correct value?

For reference, i have attached datasheet, user guide and schematics checklist of PMIC.

Regards,

  • Hi Vishal,

    1) In the datasheet, 22µF is the nominal output capacitor for the DCDCs, and 10µF is the minimum, so either could be used. The larger output capacitor should result in a lower voltage ripple.

    2) Thanks for pointing that out, the schematic checklist might have a typo for this capacitance value. The datasheet, EVM, and beaglebone design files all reference 100nF for the INT_LDO and 10µF for the BYPASS LDO.
