TPS54308: Periodic monitoring current

Part Number: TPS54308

Hi:

I use TI TPS54308. I have some questions to consult, please help me solve them,thank you.

1.We put a magnetic bead on the DCDC output;The current magnetic bead is rated at 2.2A and can withstand 4.4A/20mS.I would like to ask you how long it takes to protect the output current of TPS54308 above 3A and cut off the output?

2.Chip PWM cycle refers to the chip internal switching frequency 0.35M, that is, 47uS?When the output is about 9V,47uS and the current is greater than 3A, can it be cut off?

3.In the specification, I(LIM_HS) max5.9A, I(LIM_LS) Max 5.5A, I want to know if it is larger than this parameter, can it be cut off?

4.In the specification, section 7.3.11.2, what exactly do 512 cycles and 16384 cycles refer to?Can you help to explain?

BR

  • Hi,

    When the current limit is triggered, the device waits 512 switching cycles, then enter hiccup mode. 

    512/350kHz=1.46ms.

    16384 cycles means the device restarts after 16384 cycles hiccup time.

    16384/350kHz=46.8ms

  • Hi Shawn:

    Thank you very much for your answer. In addition, please help to answer questions 2 and 3. Thank you.

    2.When the output of 9 v is 46.8ms, we are currently greater than 3A, can it be cut off?
    3.In the specification, I(LIM_HS) max5.9A, I(LIM_LS) Max 5.5A, I want to know if it is larger than this parameter, can it be cut off?

  • Hi Sunny,

    2. It depends on the current of inductor, if the current limit is triggered, and it lasts 46.8ms, the converter would shut down.

    For the second question, I am not sure what you are asking?
