PRODUCTION DATA.
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The TPS40190 has an on board 5-V regulator that allows the part to operate from a single voltage feed. No separate 5-V feed to the part is required. This regulator needs to have 4.7-μF of capacitance on the BP5 pin for stability. A ceramic capacitor is suggested for this purpose.
This regulator can also be used to supply power to nearby circuitry, eliminating the need for a separate LDO in some cases. If this pin is used for external loads, keep in mind that this is the power supply for the internals of the TPS40190. While efforts have been made to reduce sensitivity, any noise induced on this line has an adverse effect on the overall performance of the internal circuitry and shows up as increased pulse jitter, or skewed reference voltage. This regulator is turned off when the ENABLE pin is pulled low.
The amount of power available from this pin varies with the size of the power MOSFETs that the drivers must operate. Larger MOSFETs require more gate drive current and reduces the amount of power available on this pin for other tasks.
The total amount of current required by the gate drive and the external circuitry should not exceed 40 mA. The current required to drive the FET gates can be found from Equation 3.
