9.3.1 Protection Mechanisms

The TPS27SA08 device is designed to operate in a rugged industrial environment. The protection mechanisms allow the device to be robust against many system-level events such as reverse supply, short-to-ground and more.

There are additional protection features which, if triggered, will cause the switch to automatically disable:

  • Thermal Shutdown
  • Energy Limit

When any of these protections are triggered, the device will enter the FAULT state. In the FAULT state, the fault indication will be available on both the SNS pin and the ST pin (see the diagnostic section of the data sheet for more details).

The switch is no longer held off and the fault indication is reset when all of the below conditions are met:

  • LATCH pin is low
  • tRETRY has expired
  • All faults are cleared (thermal shutdown, current limit, energy limit)
