TPS1663: tCL_PLIM without thermal shutdown

Part Number: TPS1663
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2660,

Hi,

I have a question about fault condition.

In D/S,  9.3.4.1 Overload Protection
 "The maximum duration for the over current through the FET is tCL_PLIM(dly), 162 msec (typical)."

In other words, does this device latch-off without thermal shutdown?
My customer previously tested this feature for TPS2660. However, this device required a thermal shutdown for latch-off.

The TPS26624 was able to operate as customer desired, but I will propose the TPS16630 for the power boards with higher current.

Best regards,
Hiroshi

  • Hi Hiroshi,

    Correct. The max overload duration is 162msec for TPS1663. After that the device shutdown and the subsequent operation of the device depends on the MODE configuration (Auto-Retry or latch OFF) . Refer Table-1 in the datasheet.
