7.1.3 Input Resistor

The TPS40170 has a wide input voltage range which allows for the device input to share power source with power stage input. Power stage switching noise can pollute the device power source if the layout is not adequate in minimizing noise. It can trigger short-circuit fault. If so, adding a small resistor between the device input and power stage input is recommended. This resistor composites an RC filter with the device input capacitor and filter out the switching noise from power stage. See R1 in the design example.
