TPS23861: PSE detection problem

Part Number: TPS23861
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2384

Like the previous question.Some products also used TPS2384.Same question:

We use a TI PSE chip to make a surge protection with a Schottky diode between power supply and GND, as shown below.
     It has now been found that the leakage current of this diode affects the detection of PD by the PSE.Only some boards have problems,not all.Demand assistance:
1. How much current does this diode leak affect the normal detection and identification of PD?
2. We have mass produced boards.Is there any way to screen out the diode with large leakage current?

  • Hi Vickers,

    The TPS2384 uses voltage source during detection stage. It applies 4.4V(typical) and 8.8V(typical) twice to the port and measure the current. Then it calculates the resistance by delta V/delta I. The detection valid range is still 19K ~26.5K and you can calculate allowable leakage current accordingly. Thanks.

    Best regards,
