8.4.13.1 Low-Side MOSFET Overcurrent Protection

The TPS543C20 utilizes ILIM pin to set the OCP level. The ILIM pin should be connected to AGND through the ILIM voltage setting resistor, RILIM. The ILIM terminal sources IILIM current, which is around 11.2 μA typically at room temperature, and the ILIM level is set to the OCP ILIM voltage VILIM as shown in Equation 2. In order to provide both good accuracy and cost effective solution, TPS543C20 supports temperature compensated MOSFET RDS(on) sensing.

Equation 2. TPS543C20 sluscd4_equation2.gif
Consider RDS(on) variation vs VDD in calculation

Also, TPS543C20 performs both positive and fixed negative inductor current limiting.

The inductor current is monitored by the voltage between GND pin and SW pin during the OFF time. ILIM has 1200 ppm/°C temperature slope to compensate the temperature dependency of the RDS(on). The GND pin is used as the positive current sensing node.

The device has cycle-by-cycle over-current limiting control. The inductor current is monitored during the OFF state and the controller maintains the OFF state during the period that the inductor current is larger than the overcurrent ILIM level. VILIM sets the Peak level of the inductor current. Thus, the load current at the overcurrent threshold, IOCP, can be calculated as shown in .

Equation 3. TPS543C20 Eq_Iocp_SLUSCD4.gif

where

  • RDS(on) is the on-resistance of the low-side MOSFET.

Equation 3 is valid for VDD ≥ 5 V. Use 0.58 mΩ for RDS(on) in calculation, which is the pure on-resistance for current sense.

If an overcurrent event is detected in a given switching cycle, the device increments an overcurrent counter. When the device detects three consecutive overcurrent (either high-side or low-side) events, the converter responds, entering continuous restart hiccup. In continuous hiccup mode, the device implements a 7 soft-start cycle timeout, followed by a normal soft-start attempt. When the overcurrent fault clears, normal operation resumes; otherwise, the device detects overcurrent and the process repeats.
