TPS795: How to reduce transient dip on Vin using TPS79533

Dave Lyneham

Part Number: TPS795

Hello,

In my established design a TPS79533 regulator is powered by a 5V supply that also powers a microcontroller.  The same microcontroller enables the TPS79533 at arbitary times during operation.  Sometimes the dip on the 5V supply upsets the microcontroller.  I can certainly add extra 100uF capacitor near the regulator on the input side and that helps greatly.

Is that the best solution here?  Would a better method be to reduce the voltage dip by slowing down the TPS79533 start up by adding a capacitor between NR/FB and ground?

Thank you very much for taking a look and your consideration of my question.

Kind regards
Dave

    Hi Dave,

    The startup time for the TPS795 is quite fast: 50 - 110 usec typical in the Electrical Characteristics table. Placing a capacitor on the NR pin will slow the rise of the error-amp reference input and will slow the LDO output ramp rate during startup. This will reduce the dip in the 5 V input. You can use up to 0.1 uF capacitor on the NR pin. If this does not reduce the dip sufficiently, you can add extra capacitance on the 5 V input.

    Hello Eric,

    Thank you so much for your quick reply to my enquiry. It is good to get that confirmation. Yes those regulators do start very quickly. I will do as you suggested and fit 0.1uF between NR and GND. If dip is still unacceptable I will consider addition capacitance on the 5V input.

    Kind regards
