TPS53667: Using with CSP pin is open

Part Number: TPS53667

TPS5667 judge it is 6phase circuit even if it is 4phase circuit when CSP5 and 6 are open. CSP1 to 4 are connected to powerstage IOUT pin.

In this condition, I think we can write 03h to E4h register to make TPS53667 4phase operation.

Is this using method no problem though CSP5 and 6 are open?

And also, is there any concern if TPS53667 does 6phase operation with 4phase circuit?

Best Regards,

  • Hi Kohei,

    To set 4 phases on the TPS53667, CSP5 must be tied directly to 3.3V as it states on Table 3 of the datasheet (page 33). This tells the controller that only 4 phases are needed and not to expect connections to 6 power stages. In this case the state of CSP6 is up to you. It can be either left floating or also tied to 3.3V.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Cheers,

    Carmen
