SLVA528D September 2012 – August 2021 TPS65381-Q1 , TPS65381A-Q1
The TPS65381x-Q1 device is designed for use as the microcontroller power supply in general-purpose safety applications such as:
In designing this component, TI made various assumptions about how it could be used to address expected requirements for motor-control systems, braking applications, and airbag applications.
In the case of overlapping requirements between target systems, TI designed the device respecting the most stringent requirement. For example, the fault-tolerant response-time intervals in an ESC application are typically on the order of 100 ms. In an EPS application, the fault-tolerant response-time interval is typically on the order of 10 ms. In such case, TI has performed timer subsystem analysis respecting a fault-tolerant time interval less than 10 ms.
Although TI has considered certain applications while developing this device, this should not restrict a customer who wishes to implement other systems. With all safety-critical components, the system integrator must rationalize the component safety concept to confirm that it meets the system safety requirements.
