PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS92518-Q1 has been designed to support single or dual input voltage sources. The VIN pin connection is also flexible and may be connected to the input supply of either channel or from a third independent channel.
The Electrical Characteristics table defines CSPUVLO as the minimum voltage required by a channel to continue operating. This limit is set regardless of the VIN and VCCx voltages. The VIN pin does not have an under voltage lock-out level, but must support the VCCx voltage for the channel. The minimum VIN pin voltage is limited to 6.5 V because two items depend on the voltage level for operation that have their own UVLO (under voltage lock-out) levels: VCCx and BOOTx. The 6.5-V level is derived from the maximum VCCx_UVLO level with some added margin. Alternately the maximum VBOOT-UVLO level may be used. If we consider this level and add the drop of the boot diode, we obtain the same value and with some margin obtain the same VIN pin minimum level of 6.5 V.
