Active Current Limiting During Start-Up

The TPS25984x responds to output overcurrent conditions during start-up by actively limiting the current. The device constantly senses the current flowing through each one (IDEVICE) and provides an analog current output (IILIM) on the ILIM pin, which in turn produces a proportional voltage (VILIM) across the ILIM pin resistor (RILIM) as per Equation 9.

Equation 9. V I L I M = I D E V I C E × G I L I M × R I L I M

Where GILIM is the current monitor gain (IILIM : IDEVICE)

The overcurrent condition is detected by comparing this voltage against a threshold which is a scaled voltage (CLREFSAT) derived from the reference voltage (VIREF) on the IREF pin as presented in Equation 10.

Equation 10. C L R E F S A T = 0.7 × V I R E F 3

The reference voltage (VIREF) can be controlled in two ways, which sets the start-up current limit threshold (ILIM) accordingly.

  1. In the standalone mode of operation, the internal current source interacts with the external IREF pin resistor (RIREF) to generate the reference voltage as shown in Equation 11.
    Equation 11. V I R E F = I I R E F × R I R E F
  2. In a primary and secondary configuration, the primary eFuse or controller drives the voltage on the IREF pin to provide an external reference (VIREF).

The active current limit (ILIM) threshold during start-up can be calculated using Equation 12.

Equation 12. I I L I M = C L R E F S A T G I L I M × R I L I M

When the load current through the device during start-up exceeds ILIM, the device tries to regulate and hold the load current at ILIM.

During current regulation, the output voltage drops, resulting in increased device power dissipation across the FET. If the device internal temperature (TJ) exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold (TSD), the FET is turned off. After the part shuts down due to a TSD fault, it either stays latched off (TPS259840 variants) or restarts automatically after a fixed delay (TPS259841 variants). See Overtemperature protection section for more details on device response to overtemperature.

Note:

The active current limit block employs a foldback mechanism during start-up based on the output voltage (VOUT). When VOUT is below the foldback threshold (VFB), the current limit threshold is further lowered.
