As noted in the Section 5.3 table, a minimum of 63VBUS rated capacitor is required for the VBIAS pin, and a 100VBUS capacitor is recommended. The VBIAS capacitor is in parallel with the central diode clamp integrated inside the TPD4S480. A forward biased hiding diode connects the VBIAS pin to the C_CCx and C_SBUx pins. Therefore, when a Short-to-VBUS event occurs at 48V, 48VBUS minus a forward biased diode drop is exposed to the VBIAS pin. Additionally, during the short-to-VBUS event, ringing can occur almost double the settling voltage of 48V, allowing a potential 96V to be exposed to the C_CCx and C_SBUx pins. However, the internal diode clamps limit the voltage exposed to the C_CCx and C_SBUx pins to around 63V. Therefore, at least 63V capacitor is required to insure the VBIAS capacitor does not get destroyed during Short-to-VBUS events.
A 100V, X7R capacitor is recommended to further improve the derating performance of the capacitors. When the voltage across a real capacitor is increased, the capacitance value derates. The more the capacitor derates, the larger the ringing in the short-to-VBUS RLC circuit. The 100V X7R capacitors have great derating performance, allowing for the best short-to-VBUS performance of the TPD4S480.
