TL1451A: Single channel

Part Number: TL1451A

Hi team,

The TL1451A is dual channels controller. When using single channel, is it ok to connect the input(IN+/-)-pin to GND, FB-pin to GND, and OUT-pin open, for the unused channel?  Can you tell me if there are any other precautions I need to take?

Could you also tell me the DTC-pin handling for the unused channel? 

Regards,

Yamaguchi

  • Hi Yamaguchi-san,

    Thank you for posting.  I would like to put the IN+ to GND and IN- to REF, and leave the OUT pin open.   Regarding DTC, you can leave it open because the channel is already stops switching by the IN- pin setting. 

    Thanks,

  • Hi Youhao-san,

    Thank you for the answer. How about the FB-pin handling for the unused channel?

  • Hi Yamaguchi-san,

    An important correction:  Sorry I made a big mistake in my previous reply.  For the unused channel, IN+ pin should be put to REF and IN- to GND, and leave OUT pin open. Sorry for the typos and the confusions this may cause you. 

    Regarding FB pin, I would leave the unused channel FB pin open, too.  Note that the FB pin is energized by the error amplifier. 

    Again, apologize for the typos. 

    Thanks,

    Youhao

  • Hi Yuhao-san,

    Thank you so much for the correction. I will inform it to the customer.
