ZHCSKK3B December 2019 – February 2022 TPS6594-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS6594-Q1 device monitors the undervoltage (UV) and overvoltage (OV) conditions on the output voltages of the BUCK and LDO, regulators and VCCA (when it is expected to be 5 V or 3.3 V), and has the option to indicate the result with a PGOOD signal. Thermal warning can also be included in the result of the PGOOD monitor if it is not masked. Either voltage and current monitoring or only voltage monitoring can be selected for PGOOD indication. This selection is set by the PGOOD_SEL_BUCKn register bits for each BUCK regulator (select primary phase for multi-phase regulator), and is set by the PGOOD_SEL_LDOn register bits for each LDO regulator. When voltage and current are monitored, an active PGOOD signal active indicates that the regulator output is inside the Power-Good voltage window and that load current is below the current limit. If only voltage is monitored, then the current monitoring is ignored for the PGOOD signal.
The BUCKn_VMON_EN bit enables the overvoltage (OV) , undervoltage (UV), short-circuit (SC) and current limit (ILIM) comparators. For LDO regulators, the LDOn_VMON_EN bit enables the OV and UV, Short-circuit and current limit comparators. When a BUCK or an LDO is not needed as a regulated output, it can be used as a voltage monitor for an external rail. For BUCK converters, if the BUCKn_VMON_EN bit remains '1' while the BUCKn_EN bit is '0', it can be used as a voltage monitor for an external rail which is connected to the FB_Bn pin of the BUCK regulator. For LDO regulators, if the LDOn_VMON_EN bit remains '1' while the LDOn_EN bit is '0', it can be used as a voltage monitor for an external rail which is connected to the VOUT_LDOn pin.
When the voltage monitor for a BUCK or LDO regulator is disabled, the output of the corresponding monitor is automatically masked to prevent it from forcing PGOOD inactive. This allows PGOOD to be connected to other open-drain power good signals in the system.
The VCCA_VMON_EN bit enables the monitoring of the VCCA input voltage. It can be enabled as an NVM default setting, which starts the monitoring of the VCCA voltage after the voltage monitor passes ABIST during the BOOT BIST state. The reference voltage for the VCCA monitor can be set by the VCCA_PG_SET bit to either 3.3 V or 5 V. The PGOOD_SEL_VCCA register bit selects whether or not the result of the VCCA monitor is included in the PGOOD monitor output signal.
An NVM option is available to gate the PGOOD output
