SLUSAQ4G October 2011 – September 2022 TPS40422
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS4022 device can be configured to operate in single-output two-phase mode for high-current applications. With proper selection of the external MOSFETs, this device can support up to 50-A of load current in a two-phase configuration. Figure 8-6 shows the TPS4022 device configured for two-phase mode with the FB2 pin tied to the BP6 pin. In this mode, COMP1 must be connected to COMP2 to ensure current sharing between the two phases. For high-current applications, the remote sense amplifier compensates for the parasitic offset to provide an accurate output voltage. The DIFFO1 pin, the output of the remote sensing amplifier, is connected to the resistor divider of the feedback network.
Table 8-2 summaries the channel 2 related pin connection in two-phase mode. Figure 8-7 shows a typical a two-phase mode application using the TPS4022 device.
PIN NAME | CONNECTION |
---|---|
CNTL2 | Floating or connect to ground |
COMP2 | Connect to COMP1 |
FB2 | Connect to BP6 |
GSNS2 | Connect to ground |
PG2 | Floating or connect to ground |
VSNS2 | Connect to ground is recommended. Connect to output voltage is also allowed. |
When the device operates in two-phase mode, a current sharing loop as shown in Figure 8-8 is designed to maintain the current balance between phases. Both phases share the same comparator voltage (COMP1). The sensed current in each phase is compared first in a current share block, then compared to an error current and then fed into the COMP pin. The resulting error voltage is compared with the voltage ramp to generate the PWM pulse.
