JAJSCH6C June 2016 – June 2021 TPS62135
PRODUCTION DATA
The SS/TR pin of the TPS62135x can be used for tracking as well as for setting the Soft-Start time. The TPS62135x has one GND terminal which is used for the power ground as well as for the analog ground connection. While starting the device with a load current above approximately 1 A, the noise on the GND connection can lead to a Soft-Start time shorter than calculated. There are two external work arounds as given below.
Adding a 10 kΩ resistor filters the noise on the GND connection and keeps the Soft-Start time at the value calculated.
Figure 10-88 does not require an external component. It provides a connection to the internal analog ground by using the FB2 pin and its internal NMOS to that node. The internal NMOS needs to be turned ON by setting VSEL = high.
