JAJS012J October 2004 – November 2018 TPS75003
PRODUCTION DATA.
There are three separate blocks internal to the TPS75003 device: two identical buck controllers and one integrated LDO regulator. The input voltage, VINX, to the IN1 and IN2 pins must be within the range specified in the Electrical Characteristics and must be greater than the nominal output voltage of BUCK1 or BUCK2, respectively. However, the maximum output voltages, VOUT1 and VOUT2, are determined by external component selection and cannot be specified. The input voltage to the LDO regulator, VIN3, must be greater than the drop-out voltage (VDO) added to VOUT3 or an absolute value of 2.2 V, whichever is greater. The power supply into the IN1, IN2, and IN3 pins do not need to be equal to each other but all of the design values must adhere to the minimum and maximum specifications of the TPS75003 and external components. Other considerations are based on the relationship of pins used inside the TPS75003 device.
The power supply into IN1 is used as the power supply to drive the gate of the switch connected at SW1. The difference between the voltages at the IN1 pin and IS1 pin is the input to the sensing which controls current limit. The power supply connected at IN1 must be the power supply connected to 33-mΩ sense resistor, and the opposite terminal of the sense resistor must connect directly to IS1 and the source pin(s) of the eternal PMOS FET.
Similarly, the power supply into IN2 is used as the power supply to drive the gate of the switch connected at SW2. The difference between the voltages at the IN2 pin and IS2 pin is the input to the sensing which controls current limit. The power supply connected at IN2 must be the power supply connected to 33-mΩ sense resistor, and the opposite terminal of the sense resistor must connect directly to IS2 and the source pins of the eternal PMOS FET.
The power supply into IN3 is used as the power supply to the LDO regulator and all internal support circuitry. Unlike the BUCK1 and BUCK2 controllers, the power does not bypass the TPS75003 device. Therefore, the output of the LDO is named OUT3 and up to 300-mA of current will go directly from IN3 to OUT3.
