SLUSFA1 September 2024 TPS1214-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The device transitions from shutdown to low power mode when EN/UVLO is driven high ( > V(ENR)) and LPM is driven low for > 500µs simultaneously.
The device can also transition from active mode to low power mode when LPM is pulled low. When entering from active mode to low power mode, LPM and INP signal sequencing consideration can be followed as per Figure 8-16. Pulling INP low before LPM results in main FET (GATE drive) turning OFF which can cause output voltage droop momentarily before bypass FET (G drive) turns ON. Pulling INP low after at least 10-µs of LPM is pulled low makes a seamless transition from active to low power mode without any output voltage dip.
In this mode, charge pump and G gate drive are enabled. The main FET (GATE drive) is OFF and bypass FET (G drive) is turned ON and WAKE pin asserts high in this state. TPS1214-Q1 consumes low IQ of 20-µA (typical) in low power mode.
The device transitions from low power mode to active mode when:
After load current exceeds load wakeup threshold (ILWU), the device automatically turns ON main FET (GATE drive) first and bypass FET (G drive) is turned OFF after main FET (GATE drive) has fully turned ON and and WAKE asserts low indicating the exit from the low power mode.
The device waits for external LPM signal to go high to transition into Active mode.
Protections available in low power mode are:
Bypass FET Short-circuit Protection (Wakeup in short): This protection is available until VGS of bypass FET (G to SRC) reaches VG_GOOD threshold. If voltage across CS2+ and CS2– exceeds the set short-circuit threshold V(LPM_SCP) then, the device transitions to LOAD WAKEUP state by turning ON main FET (GATE drive) within tLPM_SC time.
In LOAD WAKEUP state if load current is still high and exceeds set short-circuit threshold (VSCP) then, the device turns OFF main path (GATE drive) and bypass FET (G drive) within tSC time. The device goes in auto-retry or latch-off based on the selected configuration and FLT asserts low.
