SLUS634F November 2004 – January 2022 TPS2384
PRODUCTION DATA
PMM Classification function looks similar to Discovery 1 and 2 except that the voltage between the P and N pins regulates to approximately 17.5 V. At the end of the A/D cycle the classification current is stored in the Port Current Register and the done bit is set. The applied classification level remains until a new function is called. The data for this measurement remains stored in the Port Current Register until either the Classify or Sample function is called.
As indicated in the flow diagram of Figure 8-3, the TPS2384 in AM only performs classification at one port at a time. Similarly, PMM applications must take care to ensure that only one port per device is put into the classification mode at any one time to limit power dissipation in the package.
