9.3.3 Short-Circuit Protection

The TPS1210x-Q1 feature adjustable short-circuit protection. The threshold and response time can be adjusted using RSCP resistor and CTMR capacitor respectively. The device senses the voltage across CS+ and CS– pins.

These pins can be connected across an external high and low side current sense resistor (RSNS) or across the FET drain and source terminals for FET RDSON sensing as shown in Figure 9-5, Figure 9-6 and Figure 9-7 respectively.

Set the short-circuit detection threshold using an external RSCP resistor across ISCP and GND pins. Use Equation 5 to calculate the required RSCP value:

Equation 5. RSCP (Ω)= ISC×RSNS - 10 mV2 μA

Refer to Equation 9 in Application Limitations section for update in equation in final revision of IC.

Where,

RSNS is the current sense resistor value or the FET RDSON value.

ISC is the desired short-circuit current level.

The short-circuit protection response is fastest with no CTMR cap connected across TMR and GND pins.

With the device powered ON and EN/UVLO, INP1 pulled high, During Q1 turn-ON, first VGS of external FET Q1 (G1 gate drive) is sensed by monitoring the voltage across G1PD to SRC. Once G1PD to SRC voltage raises above V(G1_GOOD) threshold which ensures that the external FET is enhanced, then the SCP comparator output is monitored. If the sensed voltage across CS+ and CS– exceeds the short-circuit set point (V(SCP)), G1PD pulls low to SRC and FLT asserts low. Subsequent events can be set either to be auto-retry or latch off as described in following sections.
