Detailed Design Procedure

The TPS3842 utilizes high-voltage SENSE and VDD inputs to monitor a 12V power supply for undervoltage. In this design example TPS3842A011DRLR is used.

The negative-going threshold voltage, VITN, is set by the device variant. In this example, the nominal supply voltage from the power supply is 12V. Setting a undervoltage threshold of 9.5V (approximately 20% under 12V) makes sure that the device resets before supply voltage violates the allowed boundary. The adjustable voltage variant is chosen and R1 and R2 are adjusted to meet the threshold. Assuming R2 equal to 10kΩ and R1 is calculated as 125kΩ. For additional information on selecting resistor values see Section 7.3.1. TPS3842 also supports fixed voltage threshold variants. Threshold voltage decoding can be found in Device Decoder.
