PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS40170-Q1 device has a wide input-voltage range, which allows for the device input to share a power source with the power-stage input. Power-stage switching noise can pollute the device power source if the layout is not adequate in minimizing noise. Power-stage switching noise can trigger a short-circuit fault. If so, adding a small resistor between the device input and power-stage input is recommended. This resistor, together with the device input capacitor, composes an R-C filter that filters out the switching noise from power stage. See the Design Examples section.
