ZHCSE52B September 2015 – May 2019 TPS57140-EP
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS57140-EP effectively uses the lower voltage of the internal voltage reference or the SS/TR pin voltage as the power-supply reference voltage and regulates the output accordingly. A capacitor on the SS/TR pin to ground implements a slow-start time. The TPS57140-EP has an internal pullup current source of 2 μA that charges the external slow-start capacitor. The calculations for the slow-start (Equation 6) show the time (10% to 90%). The voltage reference (VREF) is 0.8 V and the slow-start current (ISS) is 2 μA. The slow-start capacitor should remain lower than 0.47 μF and greater than 0.47 nF.
At power up, the TPS57140-EP does not start switching until the slow-start pin discharges to <40 mV; to ensure proper power up, see Figure 31.
During normal operation, the TPS57140-EP stops switching and the SS/TR must discharge to 40 mV when the VIN UVLO is exceeded, EN pin is pulled below 1.2 V, or a thermal shutdown event occurs.
The VSENSE voltage follows the SS/TR pin voltage with a 45-mV offset up to 85% of the internal voltage reference. When the SS/TR voltage is >85% of 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 24). The SS/TR voltage ramps linearly until clamped at 1.7 V.
