TPS7B68-Q1: pin connection check

Part Number: TPS7B68-Q1


Dear all,

Could you check my pin connection idea?

Please see attached file.

* I will use this device with standard WD and without power good.

Best regards,

  • Hi Yamamoto-san,

    1. Your configuration is good for standard watchdog mode.
    2. It depends your battery voltage, WTS can be pulled high directly to battery to enable standard watchdog if your battery is less than 7V.
    3. Power-good threshold-adjustment pin. Connect a resistor divider between the PGADJ and OUT pins to set the power-good threshold. Connect this pin to ground to set the threshold to 91.6% of output voltage VOUT. If you are okay with default setup, you don't have to use resistor divider.
    4. PG is an output pin, it's okay to leave it open if you don't need to use it.
    5. It depends your battery voltage, if your battery voltage is less than 7V. It should be okay.
    6. Window ratio-selection pin (only applicable for the window watchdog). Pull this pin down to a low level to set the open:closed window ratio to 1:1. Pull this pin up to high level to set the open:closed window ratio to 8:1.

  • Hi Yamamoto-san, 

    When you try to connect some pins to battery, please make sure it won't exceed its maximum voltage ratings.

  • Hi Jason-san,

    Thank you for your answers.
    I would like to re-check two things.

    >About 2 and 5,
    You mentioned that ' if your battery voltage is less than 7V. It should be okay', but WTS and FSEL pins have 40V absolute maximum ratings.
    So that, I think these pins should be okay if our battery voltage is less than 40V.
    Is my understanding correct?

    >About 6,
    I would like to use this pin as open because I will not use window watchdog.
    Will to be open this pin happen something problem?

    Best regards,
  • Hi Yamamoto-san,

    About 2 and 5, you are correct, the absolutely rating is 45V. Sorry I made a mistake, I thought they were only rated at 7V.

    About 6, the datasheet does not specify the condition for the pin left open. Even though you are  not planning to use the window watchdog, I would recommend you to ground this pin.

    Regards,
    Jason
