8.1.3 Digital Telemetry Using External Microcontroller

Systems which need digital telemetry, control, and configurability along with high current eFuse functionality can use TPS25984Bx devices in conjunction with a microcontroller as shown in Figure 8-3.

The basic circuit connections for the eFuses are the same for the single or multiple parallel device configuration. In addition, the following connections can be made to the microcontroller:

  • EN/UVLO is connected to GPIO of microcontroller to allow digital ON and OFF control of the eFuse.
  • PG and GOK/FLT pins are connected to GPIO of microcontroller to allow digital monitoring of the eFuse status.
  • VIN and VOUT rails are connected to the ADC inputs of microcontroller (through resistor ladder to appropriately step down the voltage) for monitoring the bus voltages.
  • IMON is connected to an ADC input of microcontroller for monitoring the load current.
  • TEMP is connected to an ADC input of microcontroller for monitoring the eFuse die temperature.
  • IREF can be optionally connected to a DAC output of the microcontroller to dynamically change the reference voltage for overcurrent and short-circuit current thresholds.
Note:

1. The GOK/FLT pin must be pulled up to an appropriate supply voltage as per the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
