PRODUCTION DATA
The TS input pin allows for user-programmable thermal protection (for the TS pin thresholds, see the Electrical Characteristics). The TS input pin threshold is ratiometric with VSENSE. The external resistor divider setting, VTS, must be connected to the TPS2585x-Q1 SENSE pin to achieve accurate results (refer to the Figure 10-16). When VTS = 0.5 × VSENSE, the TPS2585x-Q1 performs below action:
If the overtemperature condition persists, causing VTS = 0.65 × VSENSE, the TPS2585x-Q1 performs below actions:
If the overtemperature condition persists, causing TJ to reach the OTSD threshold, then the device thermal shuts down.Figure 10-17 shows the TPS25850-Q1 behavior when TS pin voltage trigger the Temp Warm and Temp Hot threshold.
The NTC thermistor must be placed near the hottest point on the PCB. In most cases, this placement is close to the SW node of the TPS2585x-Q1, near the buck inductor.
Tuning the VNTC threshold levels of VTEMP_WARM and VTEMP_HOT is achieved by adding RSER, RPARA, or both RSER and RPARA in conjunction with RNTC. Figure 10-18 is an example illustrating how to set the VTEMP_WARM threshold between 81°C and 90°C with a ΔT between TEMP_WARM assertion and TEMP_HOT assertion of 18°C to 29°C. Consult the chosen NTC manufacturer's specification for the value of β. Establishing the desired warning and shutdown thresholds can take some iteration.
Below is NTC spec and resistor value used in Figure 10-18 example.
