Hi Team,
What happens if VOS PIN 14 suddenly goes "open circuit"? Device is being used to go from 12V to 3V3.
Regards
Andreas

Andreas,
I do not have open/short test data for TPS62140. VOS is a direct input to the DCS control circuit. I cannot imagine that anything good could happen of VOS is open.
Hi John,
We need more information about what happens e.g. short-circuit at input, IC goes up in smoke, Vout going to 0 or going to Vin, IC latched or shuts down...can you possibly investigate?
Thank you!
Regards
Andreas
Andreas,
I can try it in the lab. I will need to order an EVM and borrow some equipment, so it it will take some time. I should have an answer next week.
Andreas,
A search of e2e found open / short test results for similar part. When VOS is opened the IC is damaged.
Device is switching and output voltage shows high ripple--from 17V to 8V. Device consumes ~70mA in this state. After a few minutes of operation, output voltage went to 0 while IC still switched occasionally and drew ~70 mA. Device output voltage is high approximately one half of Vin.
