ADVANCE INFORMATION
The TPSI31P1-Q1 is designed to be used in automotive pre-charge systems as an alternative to traditional passive pre-charge architectures that typically include costly electromechanical relays (EMR), along with the bulky, large, high power resistors. The TPSI31P1-Q1, combined with external power switches, power inductor and diode, forms an active pre-charge solution. The inductor current is monitored and controlled in a hysteretic mode of operation by the TPSI31P1-Q1 to linearly charge the large capacitance of the downstream system. The TPSI31P1-Q1 is an isolated switch driver that generates its own secondary bias supply from power received on its primary side, therefore no isolated secondary supply is required. With a gate drive voltage of 17V with 1.5 and 2.5A peak source and sink current, a large availability of power switches can be used including SiC and IGBTs.
