SLUSFA1 September 2024 TPS1214-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The TPS1214x-Q1 devices features integrated reverse polarity protection to protect the device from failing during input and output reverse polarity faults. Reverse polarity faults occur during installation and maintenance of the end equipment’s. The device is tolerant to reverse polarity voltages down to –65V both on input and on the output.
TPS12140-Q1 and TPS12142-Q1 variants turn OFF Back to back FETs (GATE) when input reverse battery events –65V is detected to protect the load.
TPS12141-Q1 and TPS12143-Q1 variants integrate GATE drive turn ON when input reverse battery fault in detected down to –45V. This feature is mainly useful for heater loads and enables use of single power FET in main path saving space and BOM cost.
On the output side, the device can see transient negative voltages during regular operation due to output cable harness inductance kickbacks when the switches are turned OFF. In such systems the output negative voltage level is limited by the output side TVS or a diode.
