TPS7A69-Q1: Maximum rating current of PG pin

Part Number: TPS7A69-Q1

Hi,

I received the following question from my customer.

How much is the maximum rating current of PG pin and recommended pull-up resistor value?

Best Regards,

  • HI Kuramochi-san,

    It looks like the datasheet is assuming a minimum of a 10K pull-up resistor assuming a 5V Pull-up:

    So if you customer uses a larger resistor, it would be able to pull-down to a lower voltage. There only maximum value would be a function of the leakage current  ILKG into the pin. To determine this, we would need to know both the pull-up voltage and the customers desired VOL threshold. So it really depends on what your customer is comfortable with.

    Thank you for your reply.

    My customer would like to set the pull-up resistor as much as lower.
    Could you tell me the lowest resistance of pull up?
    (Probably, they must prevent adding any noises by application specification.)

  • HI Kuramochi-san,

    What voltage are they pulling the PG pin up to?

    If it is 5V, then the minimum allowable resistor for a 0.4V VOL would be be a 10KOhm Resistor.

    Does this answer your question?

  • Hi John-san,

    Yes, the pull-up voltage is 5V.

    >If it is 5V, then the minimum allowable resistor for a 0.4V VOL would be be a 10KOhm Resistor.

    This means that Iol=0.5mA
    However, I think the PG pin can pull current more.
    How much ampere can the PG pin pull current?

  • Hi Kuramochi-san,

    Based on the information I can find, the 10K should be the minimum resistor value. Why does your customer want to use a smaller value?
