SLVSH35A October 2023 – February 2024 TPS274C65CP
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS274C65CP includes a temperature sensor on the power FET and also within the controller portion of the device. There are two cases that the device registers a thermal shutdown fault:
The first condition enables the device to register a long-term overtemperature event (caused by ambient temperature or too high DC current flow), while the second condition allows the device to quickly register transient heating that is causes in events like short-circuits.
After the fault is detected, the switch turns off. If TJ,FET passes TABS, the fault is cleared when the switch temperature decreases by the hysteresis value, THYS. If instead the TREL threshold is exceeded, the fault is cleared after TRETRY passes.
Each channel shuts down independently in case of a thermal event, as each has its own temperature sensor and fault reporting.
