PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS6128xD/E device features a valley inductor current limit scheme.
In dc/dc boost mode, the TPS6128xD/E device employs a current limit detection scheme in which the voltage drop across the synchronous rectifier is sensed during the off-time. In the TPS61280D the current limit threshold can be set via an I2C register. TPS6128xD/E devices have a fixed current limit threshold. See Section 6 for detailed information.
The output voltage is reduced as the power stage of the device operates in a constant current mode. The maximum continuous output current (IOUT(MAX)), before entering current limit (CL) operation, can be defined by Equation 6.
where
The output current, IOUT(DC), is the average of the rectifier ripple current waveform. When the load current is increased such that the trough is above the current limit threshold, the off-time is increased to allow the current to decrease to this threshold before the next on-time begins (so called frequency fold-back mechanism). When the current limit is reached the output voltage decreases during further load increase.
Figure 9-5 illustrates the inductor and rectifier current waveforms during current limit operation.
During pass-through mode, the TPS6128xD/E device is short-circuit protected by a very fast current limit detection scheme. If the current in the bypass FET exceeds approximately 7.5Amps a fault is declared and the device cycles through a start-up procedure.
