SLVSH93A October 2023 – March 2024 TPS25751
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS25751S has two N-ch gate drivers designed to control a sinking path from VBUS to VSYS. The charge pump for these gate drivers requires VBUS to be above VVBUS_UVLO. When a sink path is enabled, the circuitry includes a slew rate control loop to ensure that external switches do not turn on too quickly (SS). The TPS25751S senses the VSYS and VBUS voltages to control the gate voltages to enable or disable the external FETs.
The sink-path control includes overvoltage protection (OVP), and reverse current protection (RCP). Adding resistance in series with a GATE pin of the TPS25751S and the gate pin of the N-ch MOSFET slows down the turnoff time when OVP or RCP occurs. Any such resistance must be minimized, and not allowed to exceed 3 Ω.
