TPS25942A: Space-grade DC-DC (600 nV) Power Supply...

user6106687

Part Number: TPS25942A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS25940

Sir/Madam,

I am fabricating two space-grade power supplies: one of which utilises the Analog Devices LTC 4425 to both charge and regulate two 400 F super capacitors; one of which utilises the Texas Instruments TPS 25942 to both charge and regulate a single 7.5 F super capacitor. I was unable to identify a suitable circuit schematic, in respect of the Texas Instruments eFuse component! Do please advise...

Do please advise.

Hi Scott,

Welcome to E2E!

What is the input voltage and super capacitor rating ?

Please check whether this app note helps http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slva920/slva920.pdf and let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,

Rakesh

Hello there, Rakesh,

The input voltage from the regulator is: [5.000 V];

The AVX (7.5 F) super capacitor rating is: [5.0 V].

Hi Scott,

It is possible by sizing capacitor on dVdT pin for TPS2594x device as covered in that app note. You may need ~100uF for CdVdT. Please check and let me know if you see any issues for your system functionality.

Best Regards,

Rakesh

Hello there, Rakesh,

Are you referring to your own document: 'Charging Super Capacitor With eFuse' - figure 5a - page 5? There is a circuit schematic comprising of five parts:-

* TPS 25940 --> Replace with TPS 25942;

* Resistor X;

* Super Capacitor Y;

* Capacitor A;

* Capacitor B.

yes Scott. Fig 5a.

You can use either TPS25942 or TPS25940. It does not make any difference for this function.

Hello there, Rakesh,

Since I wish to fabricate a single super capacitor Ultra Low Noise Estimated Serial Resistance board using the following components:-

[Input from LT-3045 (x6) regulator: 5.000 VDC|3.00 A; Output from super capacitor: 5.000 VDC]

1. Power Management Controller (eFuse): Texas Instruments TPS 25942;

2. Output Super Capacitor: AVX SCM Series 7.5 F|5.0 V|ESR: ~55 mOhms;

3. Current Limit Resistor (RLim): Vishay metal foil (0.02 % tolerance) --> X;

4. Capacitor (dVdT): Panasonic Organic Aluminium Polymer (ESR: ~10 mOhms) --> Y;

5. Capacitor (CIn): Panasonic Organic Aluminium Polymer. (ESR: ~10 mOhms) -- > Z..

What should the values for X, Y and Z be?

Hi Scott,

Please use as below.

RLim resistor X= 47kOhm

dVdT capacitor Y= 100uF

CIn capacitor Z=0.1uF
