JAJSKJ1A December 2020 – February 2021 TPS929121-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS929121-Q1 must have an external resistor R(REF) to set the internal current reference I(REF) as shown in Figure 8-1.
The internal current reference I(FULL_RANGE) is generated based on the I(REF) multiplied by factor K(REF) to provide the full range current reference for each OUTx channel. The K(REF) is programmable by 2-bit register CONF_REFRANGE with 4 different options. The I(FULL_RANGE) can be calculated with Equation 1.

The recommended resistor values of R(REF) and amplifier ratios of K(REF) are listed in Table 8-1.
CONF_REFRANGE | K(REF) | FULL RANGE CURRENT (mA) | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
R(REF) = 8.45 kΩ | R(REF) = 12.7 kΩ | R(REF) = 31.6 kΩ | ||
11b | 512 | 75 | 50 | 20 |
10b | 256 | 37.5 | 25 | 10 |
01b | 128 | 18.75 | 12.5 | 5 |
00b | 64 | 9.375 | 6.25 | 2.5 |
Place the R(REF) resistor as close as possible to the REF pin with an up to 2.2-nF ceramic capacitor in parallel to improve the noise immunity. The off-board R(REF) setup is not allowed due to the concern of instability reference current. TI recommends a 1-nF ceramic capacitor in parallel with R(REF).
