SLUS720F February 2007 – June 2019 TPS40195
PRODUCTION DATA.
This device has an on board 5-V regulator that allows the parts to operate from a single voltage feed. No separate 5-V feed to the part is required. This regulator requires a minimum of 1 μF of capacitance on the BP pin for stability. A ceramic capacitor is suggested for this purpose. Noise performance can be improved by increasing this capacitance to 4.7 μF when driving FETs with more than 25-nC gate charge requirements.
This regulator can also be used to supply power to nearby circuitry, eliminating the need for a separate LDO in some cases. If this pin is used for external loads, be aware that this is the power supply for the internals of the TPS40195. While efforts have been made to reduce sensitivity, any noise induced on this line has an adverse effect on the overall performance of the internal circuitry and shows up as increased pulse jitter, or skewed reference voltage. Note that when the EN pin is pulled low, the BP regulator will be turned off and not available to supply power to external loads.
The amount of power available from this pin varies with the size of the power MOSFETs that the drivers must operate. Larger MOSFETs require more gate drive current and reduces the amount of power available on this pin for other tasks.
