ZHCS026C December 2010 – February 2016 TPS57060-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS57060-Q1 device 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 implements a slow start time. The TPS57060-Q1 device has an internal pullup current source of 2 μA that charges the external slow-start capacitor. The calculations for the slow start time (10% to 90%) are shown in Equation 6. The voltage reference (VREF) is 0.8 V and the slow start current (ISS) is 2μA. The slow start capacitor should remain lower than 0.47 μF and greater than 0.47 nF.
At power up, the TPS57060-Q1 device does not start switching until the slow start pin is discharged to less than 40 mV to ensure a proper power up, see Figure 30.
Also, during normal operation, the TPS57060-Q1 device stops switching and the SS/TR must be discharged to 40 mV, when the VIN UVLO is exceeded, EN pin pulled below 1.25 V, or a thermal shutdown event occurs.
The VSENSE voltage will follow the SS/TR pin voltage with a 45-mV offset up to 85% of the internal voltage reference. When the SS/TR voltage is greater than 85% on the internal reference voltage the offset increases as the effective system reference transitions from the SS/TR voltage to the internal voltage reference (see Figure 23). The SS/TR voltage will ramp linearly until clamped at 1.7 V.
