PRODUCT PREVIEW Information. Product in design phase of development. Subject to change or discontinuance without notice.
A short-circuit protection feature allows the TPS65653-Q1 to protect itself and external components against short circuit at the output or against overload during start-up. For buck regulators the fault thresholds are about 350 mV, and the protection is triggered and the regulator is disabled if the output voltage is below the threshold level 1 ms after the regulator is enabled.
In a similar way the overload situation is protected during normal operation. If the output voltage falls below 0.35 V and 0.3 V and remains below the threshold level for 1 ms the regulator is disabled.
In buck regulator short-circuit and overload situations the BUCKx_SC_INT bit in INT_BUCK register and the INT_BUCKx bit in INT_TOP_1 register are set to 1, the BUCKx_STAT bit in BUCK_STAT register is set to 0, and the nINT signal is pulled low. The host processor clears the interrupt by writing 1 to the BUCKx_SC_INT bit. Upon clearing the interrupt the regulator makes a new start-up attempt if the regulator is in an enabled state.
