TPS65218: 101, D0, differences

Part Number: TPS65218


Team,

I would like to confirm what the differences are between the following three variations of TPS65218:

TPS65218B1

TPS65218B101

TPS65218D0

Are there differences other than the hysteresis of the undervoltage lockout between those parts? (0, 200, 400mV)

Thank you!

  • Hi Lenio,

    I've assigned this post to the appropriate applications engineer, he will respond to your question.

  • The TPS65218B1 and TPS65218B101 both share the same datasheet and generic part number of TPS65218. As a result, the differences between these to devices can only be a result of default OTP settings for the Register Map. Specifically, the UVLOHYS bit (bit 6 of Reg. 0x14).

    However, the TPS65218D0 is a unique GPN that is targeted towards the AM438x Sitara processor (as opposed to the TPS65218 which is for the AM437x processor and additionally supports AM335x via a linux kernel driver).

    Since this -D0 version is using an alphanumeric code as the suffix, it is a die revision and it cannot be assumed that the Register Map default settings are the only difference. Both analog and fundamental digital changes can be made when a die revision occurs.

  • Lenio,

    UPDATE: For new designs, the TPS65218D0 is recommended over the -B1 release. Although the -B1 version is not officially listed as NRND, this process has been started.

    The Revision History for the -B1 datasheet (Lit # SLDS206, Rev. C) explains some of the spec changes made for -B1 silicon that were made permanent or corrected in the -D0 silicon update.
