For certain applications, it is necessary to have hold-up circuit and capacitor bank to ensure that critical user data is never lost during power-failure to the drive. The power-failure event could be because of the momentary loss of power regulation (transient brown-out condition) or because of the loss of power when system is hot-plugged out.
The TPS25940xx-Q1 device continuously monitors the supply voltage at EN/UVLO pin and swiftly disconnects the input bus from output when the voltage drops below a predefined threshold (power fail detection). Reverse current flow from output side to input supply gets blocked when reverse voltage from IN to OUT exceeds –66 mV. In addition, it provides an instant warning signal ( FLT) to the controller. Its swift true reverse blocking feature reacts in 1 µs (typical) ensuring that the capacitor bank charge is retained. This helps the drive to have power for longer time to harden data and reduces the capacitance required in the hold-up bank, saving system cost.
The typical application diagram of TPS25940xx-Q1 usage for holdup power is shown in Figure 10-23.
The oscilloscope plots demonstrating the true reverse blocking, fast turn-off and FLT signal delay are shown in Figure 10-24 through Figure 10-26.
