8.3.4.2.1 Boost Overvoltage Fault (BST_OVP)

The TPS9238x device supports boost overvoltage protection. If during TPS9238x operation, the FB pin voltage exceeds the VFB_OVP threshold, which is 2.3-V typical, the boost, LED outputs and the power-line FET will be turned off, and the device will enter FAULT RECOVERY mode. The FAULT pin will be pulled low. The TPS9238x will exit FAULT RECOVERY mode after 100 ms and try the start-up sequence again. BST_OVP fault detection is available in NORMAL state.

Calculating back from FB pin voltage threshold to boost output OVP voltage threshold, the value is not a static threshold, but a dynamic threshold changing with the current target boost adaptive voltage:

Equation 5. GUID-42E09658-A232-4A85-9813-5F088C87AF41-low.gif

where

  • VBOOST is the current target boost adaptive voltage, which in most time is the current largest LED string forward voltage among multiple strings + 0.9 V in steady state
  • VFB_OVP = 2.3 V
  • VBG = 1.2 V
  • R1 and R2 is the resistor value of FB external network in Using Two-Divider and Using T-Divider

For example, if R1 is set to 750 kΩ and R2 is set to 130 kΩ, VBOOST will report OVP when the boost voltage is 7.4 V above target boost voltage.

This equation holds true in both two-divider FB external network and T-divider FB external network.
