ZHCSG68F MARCH 2017 – JANUARY 2019 TPSM846C23
PRODUCTION DATA.
An internal temperature sensor based off the bandgap reference protects the TPSM846C23 device from thermal runaway. The internal thermal shutdown threshold, TSD, is fixed at 145°C (typical), which is different from the user programmable OT_FAULT_LIMIT. When the device senses a temperature above TSD, an otf_bg bit in the STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC command is flagged, and power conversion stops until the sensed junction temperature decreases by the amount of the thermal shutdown hysteresis, THYST (20°C typical). The SMBALERT signal is triggered if the signal is not masked.
The device response to an OT_FAULT_LIMIT event can be set to Latch-off, Restart and Ignore in OT_FAULT_RESPONSE. The default response to an over temperature fault is to shut down and then restart. Fixed band gap-detected overtemperature (OT) faults are never ignored. The band gap OT faults always respond in a shutdown and attempted restart once the device cools. Table 7 summarizes the fault-response scheme.
