ZHCSJU9E January 2007 – June 2019 TPS40077
PRODUCTION DATA.
A resistor connected to the KFF pin of the IC feeds into the ramp generator. This resistor provides current into the ramp generator proportional to the input voltage. The ramp is then adjusted to compensate for different input voltages. This provides the voltage feed-forward feature of the TPS40077.
The same resistor also sets the undervoltage lockout point. The input start voltage should be used to calculate a value for RKFF. For this module, the minimum input voltage is 8 V; however, due to tolerances in the IC, a start voltage of 10% less than the minimum input voltage is selected. The start voltage for RKFF calculation is 7.2 V. Using Equation 35, RKFF can be selected.
where
Equation 35 gives an RKFF value of 156 kΩ. The closest lower standard value of 154 kΩ should be selected. This gives a minimum start voltage of 7.1 V.
