JAJSJM2B July 2022 – April 2024 TPS929240-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS929240-Q1 has internal analog comparators to monitor all channel outputs with respect to a fixed threshold for reporting OUTXn short to GND fault.
The short-circuit detection is only effective during PWM-ON state with programmable minimal pulse width of t(BLANK) + t(SHORT_deg). The t(BLANK) is programmable by register BLANK. If PWM on-time is less than t(BLANK) + t(SHORT_deg), the device can not report any short-circuit fault.
When the voltage V(OUTXn) is below threshold V(SG_th_rising) with duration longer than deglitch timer length of t(BLANK) + t(SHORT_deg), the device pulls the ERR pin down with pulsed current sink for 50 µs to report fault and set flag registers including FLAG_SHORTOUTXn, FLAG_OUT and FLAG_ERR. In NORMAL state, the device does not take any actions in response the LED short-circuit fault and waits for the master controller to determine the protection behavior.
The fault is latched in flag registers. When the voltage V(OUTXn) rises above threshold V(SG_th_falling) with duration longer than deglitch timer length of t(BLANK) + t(SHORT_deg), the master controller must write 1 to CLRFAULT to clear FLAG_SHORTOUTXn, FLAG_OUT and FLAG_ERR. The CLRFAULT bit automatically returns to 0.
