SLVSEC6D June 2019 – March 2020 TPS62840
PRODUCTION DATA.
The output voltage is set with a single external resistor connected between the VSET pin and GND. Once the device has been enabled and the control logic as well as the reference system are powered up, an R2D (resistor to digital) conversion is started to detect the value of the external RSET resistor. A pre-defined fixed output voltage is set based on the RSET value. The output voltage is set once during the start-up delay phase of the device.
Once the output voltage is set, the R2D converter is turned off to avoid current flowing through RSET. Care must be taken that no parasitic current, capacitance, or both greater than 100 pF is present between the VSET and GND pins. This can cause false RSET readings and a faulty output voltage to be set. The R2D converter is designed to operate with resistor values out of E96 series. Table 1 shows the allowed RSET values.
The output voltage of the TPS62849 is internally set to 3.4 V. Connect VSET directly to GND for this device.
