6.3.13 Power Good (PGOOD)

The TPS40170-Q1 device provides an indication that the output voltage of the converter is within the specified limits of regulation as measured at the FB pin. The PGOOD pin is an open-drain signal and pulls low when any condition exists which can indicate that the output of the supply can be out of regulation. These conditions include:

  • VVFB is not within the PGOOD threshold limits.
  • Soft-start is active, that is, the SS pin voltage is below VSS,FLT,HIGH limit.
  • An undervoltage condition exists for the device.
  • An overcurrent or short-circuit fault is detected.
  • An overtemperature fault is detected.

Figure 6-17 shows a situation where no fault is detected during the start-up, (the normal PGOOD situation). It shows that PGOOD goes high tPGD (20 µs, typical) after all the conditions (previously listed) are met.

When there is no power to the device, PGOOD is not able to pull close to GND if an auxiliary supply is used for the power-good indication. In this case, a built-in resistor connected from drain to gate on the PGOOD pulldown device allows the PGOOD pin to operate as a diode to GND.
