ZHCS984B June 2012 – May 2019 TPS54678
PRODUCTION DATA.
TPS54678 effectively uses the lower voltage of the internal voltage reference or the SS/TR pin voltage as the reference voltage of the power supply and regulates the output accordingly. A capacitor on the SS/TR pin to ground will implement a slow-start time. The TPS54678 has an internal pullup current source of 47 µA when V(SS/TR) is less than 0.15 V and 2.2 µA when V(SS/TR) is higher than 0.15 V. The ISS charges the external slow-start capacitor. The equation for the slow-start time is shown in Equation 4 considering the fact the first 47 µA charges the SS to 0.15 V. The 2.2 µA then charges the SS from 0.15 V to about 0.8 V for the handoff of the SS voltage to reference voltage.
If during normal operation, the VIN UVLO is exceeded, EN pin pulled below 1.2 V, or a thermal shutdown event occurs, the TPS54678 will stop switching and the SS/TR must be discharged to about 60 mV before reinitiating a powering-up sequence.
The VSENSE voltage will follow the SS/TR pin voltage up to 90% of the internal voltage reference. When the SS/TR voltage is greater than 90% of the internal voltage, the effective system reference voltage will transit from the SS/TR voltage to the internal voltage reference.
