CRX: Choose CRX between 200 pF and 600 pF. A 470 pF, 50 V, ±5% COG/NPO ceramic is recommended for both CC1 and CC2 pins.
Q1: For a 3 A application, an N-Channel MOSFET with RDS(on) in the 10 mΩ range is sufficient. BVDSS should be rated for 30 V for applications delivering 20 V, and 25 V for 12 V applications. For this application, the TI CSD17579Q3A (SLPS527) NexFET™ is suitable.
RS: TPS25741 or TPS25741A OCP set point thresholds are targeted towards a 5 mΩ, ±1% sense resistor. Power dissipation for RS at 3 A load is approximately 45 mW.
RDSCG: The minimum value of RDSCG is chosen based on the application VBUS(max) and IDSCGT. For VBUS(max) = 12 V and I(DSCGT) = 350 mA, RDSCG(min) = 34.3 Ω. The size of the external resistor can then be chosen based on the capacitive load that needs to be discharged and the maximum allowed discharge time of 90 ms. Typically, a 120 Ω, 0.5 W resistor provides suitable performance.
RF/CF: Not used
CPDIN: The requirement for CPDIN is 10 µF maximum. A 6.8 µF, 25 V, ±10% X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is suitable for most applications.
DVBUS: DVBUS provides reverse transient protection during large transient conditions when inductive loads are present. A Schottky diode with a VRRM rating of 30 V in a SMA package such as the B340A-13-F provides suitable reverse voltage clamping performance.
CSLEW: To achieve a slew rate from zero to 5 V of less than 30 mV/µs using the typical GDNG current of 20 µA then CSLEW (nF) > 20 µA/30 mV/µs = 0.67 nF be used. Choosing CSLEW = 10 nF yields a ramp rate of 2 mV/µs.
RFBL1/RFBL2: In this design example, RFBU = 49.9 kΩ and RFBL = 9.53 kΩ. The feedback error amplifier VREF = 0.8 V. Using the equations for RFBL2 (Equation 4 and Equation 5) provide a calculated value of 9.9 kΩ and a selected value of 9.76 kΩ. In similar fashion for RFBL1, a calculated value of 6.74 kΩ and a selected value of 6.65 kΩ is provided.
CSLU/CSLL: The value of CSLU is calculated based on the desired 95% slew rate of 3 ms. CSLU = 3 ms/(3 x 49.9 kΩ) = 20 nF. Choose a 22-nF capacitor for CSLU. Next, CSLL is calculated as CSLU x (RFBU/RFBL) = 22 nF x (49.9 kΩ/9.53 kΩ) = 115 nF. Choose a 100-nF capacitor for CSLL.
