7.3.1.3 Temperature and Fault Sensing

TI smart power stage senses the die temperature and sends out the temperature information as a voltage through the TAO pin. In a multi-phase application, the TAO pin of the TI smart power stages are connected together and then tied to the ATSEN and BTSEN pins of the TPS53681 device. In this case, the device reports the temperature of the hottest power stage. The reported temperature can be calculated as shown in Equation 1.

Equation 1. TPS53681 q_temp_slusc39.gif

where

  • TEMP is the sensed temperature in °C
  • VTSEN is the voltage at ATSEN and BTSEN pins

TSEN signal is also used as an indicator for power stage fault. When an internal fault occurs in the TI smart power stage, the power stage pulls the xTAO pins high. If the TSEN voltage is higher than 2.5 V, the TPS53681 device senses the fault and turns off both the high-side and the low-side MOSFETS.

The TSEN signal is also used to indicate hand-shaking between the controller and the power stages. If the power stages are not powered, the TAO pin is pulled down to prevent switching, even if the controller is enabled.
