ZHCSGV1C June 2017 – March 2018 TPS25740B
PRODUCTION DATA.
In this system design example, the P(SEL) is configured such that P(SEL) = 93 W, so 5 V, 9 V, and 15 V are offered at a maximum of 5 A, while 20 V is offered at a maximum of 4.64 A. The over-current protection (OCP) trip point is set just above 5 A.
This power hub circuit takes a 24 V input and produces a regulated output voltage. The over-current protection feature in the TPS25740B is not used; the ISNS and VBUS pins are connected directly. Instead R(ILIM) is chosen to set the current limit of the TPS40170 synchronous PWM buck controller. If the current limit trips, the GD pin of the TPS25740B is pulled low by the PGOOD pin of the TPS40170, which causes the power-path switch to be opened. Other fault conditions may also pull PGOOD low, but the slew rate of the voltage transition should be controlled as in one of the examples given above (Figure 44, Figure 45, or Figure 47).
VDD on the TPS25740B is grounded, if there is a suitable power supply available in the system the TPS25740B operates more efficiently if it is connected to VDD since V(VPWR) > V(VDD). See Figure 70 for an example.
