JAJSIO4A February 2020 – September 2020 TPS546A24A
PRODUCTION DATA
Configuring a TPS546A24A device as a slave disables all pinstraps except MSEL2, which programs Section 7.6.30 for stacking and Section 7.6.82, Section 7.6.41, and Section 7.6.39 with a single resistor to AGND. Note that the master is always device 0.
RESISTOR TO AGND CODE | DEVICE NUMBER, NUMBER OF PHASES | IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT (A) / IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT (A) |
---|---|---|
Short | Device 1, 2-phase | 10/14 |
Float | Device 1, 2-phase | 8/12 |
6 | Device 1, 2-phase | 10/14 |
7 | Device1, 2-phase | 8/12 |
4 | Device 1, 3-phase | 10/14 |
5 | Device 1, 3-phase | 8/12 |
8 | Device 2, 3-phase | 10/14 |
9 | Device 2, 3-phase | 8/12 |
2 | Device 1, 4-phase | 10/14 |
3 | Device 1, 4-phase | 8/12 |
14 | Device 2, 4-phase | 10/14 |
15 | Device 2, 4-phase | 8/12 |
10 | Device 3, 4-phase | 10/14 |
11 | Device 3, 4-phase | 8/12 |
During the power-on sequence, device 0 (stack master) reads back phase information from all connected slaves, if any slave phase response does not match the Section 7.6.82 results of the master, the converter sets the POR fault bit in Section 7.6.62 but does not allow conversion. Once all connected devices respond to Device 0, Device 0 passes remaining pin-strap information to the slaves to ensure matched programming during operation. Adding an additional phase requires adjusting the MSEL2 resistors on the master device and the MSEL2 resistor to ground on all other slave devices.
