JAJSOD0A April 2022 – July 2022 TPS22811
PRODUCTION DATA
TPS22811x is an integrated load switch with protection and monitoring. The device starts its operation by monitoring the IN bus. When the input supply voltage (VIN) exceeds the undervoltage protection threshold (VUVP), the device samples the EN/UVLO pin. A high level (> VUVLO) on this pin enables the internal power path to start conducting and allow current to flow from IN to OUT. When EN/UVLO is held low (< VUVLO), the internal power path is turned off.
After a successful start-up sequence, the device now actively monitors its load current and input voltage, and controls the internal FET to ensure that the fast-trip current threshold is not exceeded and overvoltage spikes are cut-off after they cross the user adjustable overvoltage lockout threshold (VOVLO). This feature keeps the system safe from harmful levels of voltage and current.
The device also has a built-in thermal sensor based shutdown mechanism to protect itself in case the device temperature (TJ) exceeds the recommended operating conditions.
