TPS40210: OverCurrent Duty cycle

Part Number: TPS40210

Hi

In the data sheet of TPS 40210, over current duty cycle = max 2% is stipulated.
What does this duty cycle mean?

Best Regard

  • Hi Kishi,

    The duty cycle is not the duty cycle of the switch. It is the duty cycle of operation when the device starts up into a short or over current condition. This means that the device will only switch only 2%. The actual time is will be dependent on the SS capacitor value.

    Thanks,

    Garrett
