TPS54060A: Equation determining Fsw

Guru 16770 points
Part Number: TPS54060A

Hi

I have questions for equation (12) and (13) from datasheet.

1.  What is the parameter of Rhs?

2.  How to determine parameters? (Especially, Voutsc, Fdiv)

BestRegards

  • Rhs is the on resistance of the high side FET. For Vin > 12 V, it is 200 mohm typical and 410 mohm max.

    During overloads such as short circuit condition, the output voltage will decrease. How much depends on the degree of the overload. For a short circuit condition, I typically use Voutsc = 0.1 V and Fdiv = 8. That is full frequency foldback. If you have a less severe over current, your outpu voltage may be higher. Then you can use that voltage, calculate the VSENSE voltage and use the appropriate Fdiv (1, 2, 4 or 8) in the equation.
