SLVSDM4D November 2018 – December 2019 TPS1HA08-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
The is tested according to the AEC - Q100-012 Short Circuit Reliability standard. This test is performed to demonstrate the robustness of the device against VOUT short-to-ground events. Test results are summarized in Table 6. For further details, refer to the AEC - Q100-012 standard document or TI's Short Circuit Reliability Test for Smart Power Switches application report.
Test conditions:
Test procedure:
The cold repetitive test is run at –40ºC which is the worst case condition for the . The current limit threshold is highest at cold temperature; hence, the short-circuit pulse contains more energy at cold temperature. The cold repetitive test refers to the device being given time to cool down between pulses, within than being run at a cold temperature. The load short circuit is the worst case situation, since the energy stored in the cable inductance can cause additional harm. The fast response of the device ensures current limiting occurs quickly and at a current close to the load short condition. In addition, the hot repetitive test is performed as well.
TEST | LOCATION OF SHORT | DEVICE VERSION | NO. OF CYCLES | NO. OF UNITS | NO. OF FAILS |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cold Repetitive - Long Pulse | Load Short Circuit, Lshort = 5 μH, Rshort = 100 mΩ, TA = –40ºC | D | 200 k | 30 | 0 |
Hot Repetitive - Long Pulse | Terminal Short Circuit, Lshort = 5 μH, Rshort = 100 mΩ, TA = 25ºC | D | 100 hours | 30 | 0 |
