TPS40170: two questions about TPS40170

Part Number: TPS40170

Hi team,

we have two questions want to check with you. Thanks.

1. why the devices cannot support >50% duty cycle with master mode?

2. whether the device cannot support below 100khz? And why?

  • Hello Frank,

    The TPS40170 should be able to switch slightly below the min frequency of 100 kHz, but I would not reduce frequency significantly below the minimum value. You will likely experience some inaccuracies from the RRT equation when going below 100 kHz.

    The device can support >50 duty cycle. The noise sensitivity described in the datasheet relates to duty circle around 50% and not >50%, if the duty cycle is >50% there should be no noise/jitter.

    Hope this helps?
