ZHCSCK3A June 2014 – June 2014 TPS22959
PRODUCTION DATA.
This section will highlight some of the design considerations when implementing this device in various applications. A PSPICE model for this device is also available in the product page of this device on www.ti.com for further aid.
This application demonstrates how the TPS22959 can be used to power downstream modules with large capacitances. The example below is powering a 100-µF capacitive output load.
For this design example, use the following as the input parameters.
DESIGN PARAMETER | EXAMPLE VALUE |
---|---|
VIN | 5.0 V |
VBIAS | 5.0 V |
Load current | 15 A |
To begin the design process, the designer needs to know the following:
The VIN to VOUT voltage drop in the device is determined by the RON of the device and the load current. The RON of the device depends upon the VIN and VBIAS conditions of the device. Refer to the RON specification of the device in the Electrical Characteristics table of this datasheet. Once the RON of the device is determined based upon the VIN and VBIAS conditions, use Equation 1 to calculate the VIN to VOUT voltage drop:
where
An appropriate ILOAD must be chosen such that the IMAX specification of the device is not violated.
To determine how much inrush current will be caused by the CL capacitor, use Equation 2:
where
An appropriate CL value should be placed on VOUT such that the IMAX and IPLS specficiations of the device are not violated.
The maximum IC junction temperature should be restricted to 125°C under normal operating conditions. To calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, PD(max) for a given output current and ambient temperature, use Equation 3.
