9.4.5 Start-Up and Shutdown Mode

The TPS6128xD/E automatically powers-up as soon as the input voltage is applied. The device has an internal soft-start circuit that limits the inrush current during start-up. The first phase in the start-up procedure is to bias the output node close to the input level (so called pre-charge phase).

In this operating mode, the device limits its output current to ca. 500mA. Should the output voltage not have reached the input level within a maximum duration of 750µs, the device automatically increases its pre-charge current to ca. 2000mA. If the output voltage still fails to reach its target after 1.5ms, a fault condition is declared. After waiting 1ms, a restart is attempted.

When output voltage being close to Vout, the device enters into boost startup mode (for Auto Mode only). The device provides a reduced current limit of ~1.25A (I2C programable for TPS61280D to set it back to normal current limit) when the output voltage is below pre-set voltage to avoid the high inrush current from battery.

During start-up, it is recommended to keep DC load current draw below 250mA.

The TPS6128xD/E device contains a thermal regulation loop that monitors the die temperature during the pre-charge phase. If the die temperature rises to high values of about 110°C, the device automatically reduces the current to prevent the die temperature from increasing further. Once the die temperature drops about 10°C below the threshold, the device will automatically increase the current to the target value. This function also reduces the current during a short-circuit condition.

When the EN and nBYP pins are set high, the device enters normal operation (that is, automatic dc/dc boost, pass-through mode) and ensures that the output voltage remains above a pre-defined threshold (that is, 3.3 V).

Setting the EN pin low (nBYP = 1) forces the TPS6128xD/E device in shutdown mode with a current consumption of <8.5 µA typical. In this mode, the output of the converter is regulated to a minimum level so as to limit the input-to-output voltage difference to less than 3.6 V (typical). The device is capable of sinking up to 10 mA output current and prohibits reverse current flow from the output to the input. For proper operation, the EN pin must be terminated and must not be left floating.

Changing operating mode from auto mode (EN = nBYP = 1) to low IQ Pass-through mode (EN = nBYP = 0) with device pins EN and nBYP can either be done controlling EN and nBYP pins from same control signal (delay between signal < 60ns) or first switching in forced pass-through mode (EN = 1, nBYP = 0) followed by switching to low IQ Pass-through mode (EN = nBYP = 0).

The TPS6128xD/E device also features the possibility of shutting the converter output for a short period of time, either via the nRST/nFAULT (GPIO). Pulling this input low initiates a reset of the converter's output. The sequence is falling edge-triggered and consists of a discharge phase (down to ca. 600 mV or lower) of the capacitance located at the converter's output followed by a start-up phase.
