ZHCSOO7A August 2021 – November 2021 TPSM8A28 , TPSM8A29
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPSM8A28 and TPSM8A29 power modules allow both internal fixed soft start and external adjustable soft start. The internal soft-start time is 1.5 ms. The soft-start time can be increased by adding a soft-start (SS) capacitor between the SS/REFIN and VSNS– pins. The total SS capacitor value can be determined by Equation 2. The device follows the longer SS ramp among the internal SS time and the SS time determined by the external SS capacitors.
The device does not require a capacitor from the SS/REFIN pin to AGND, so it is not recommended to place a capacitor from the SS/REFIN pin to AGND. If both CSS/REFIN-to-VSNS– and CSS/REFIN-to-AGND capacitors exist, place CSS/REFIN-to-VSNS– more closely to the shortest trace back to the VSNS– pin.
The SS/REFIN pin is discharged internally during the internal power-on delay to make sure the soft-start ramp always starts from zero.
