SNVSCN2 September 2024 TPS37100-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The BIST feature is only in TPS37102-Q1 option only. TPS37100 does not have BIST.
The BIST sequence of internal tests verifies the health of the internal signal chain of the device by checking for faults on the internal comparators on the SENSE pin, bandgap voltage, and the OUT A and OUT B outputs.
The TPS37102-Q1 has a Built-In Self-Test (BIST) feature that runs diagnostics internally in the device to monitor the health of the device. During power-up BIST is initiated automatically after crossing VDD(min). During BIST the BIST pin and OUT A and OUT B output asserts low and deasserts if the BIST test completes successfully indicating no internal faults in the device. The length of the BIST and BIST assertion is specified by tBIST. If BIST is not successful, the BIST pin stays asserted low signifying an internal fault. The OUT A and OUT B output asserts on BIST failure. During BIST, the device is not monitoring the SENSE pin for faults and the OUT A and OUT B is not dependent on the SENSE pin voltage.
After a successful power-up sequence, BIST can be initiated any time with a rising edge input (VBIST_EN > 1.3V) on the BIST_EN pin. BIST initiates and the BIST pin asserts only if the SENSE pin is not in a overvoltage or undervoltage fault mode.
