Hiya,
I'm considering to use TPS1H200A-Q1 as an overcurrent switch after a boost DC converter for 16V output.
The connections are as follows:
Boost DC/DC (part # not important, it is not TI part) -> TPS1H200A -> user-accessible DC output connector.
Boost is enabled via EN pin which is normally pulled down, making the circuit off. let's call that net BOOST_EN.
The 16V device(s) I'm powering with the output are spec'd to draw no more than 250mA and I'd like to current limit this output to around 300-400mA max, and (if possible) disable boost when such overcurrent event is detected, perhaps by pulling down the BOOST_EN net.
I have 5V, 3.3V rails available on the board.
Looking at Figure 32 in datasheet (typical application circuit) VS is the input, OUT is the output, but VS also provides power for the rest of the ICs functions.
If I use the FAULT flag to turn off boost regulator, what happens once TPS loses the power? FAULT will go high again since its open-drain, and pulled up, right?
So what would be the correct way to handle something like this (I don't have an external MCU here to do some smarts like monitoring fault and turning off BOOST_EN based on that).
