Mode Selection

TPS56837H and TPS56837HA have MODE pin that can offer three adjustable cycle-by-cycle over current limit for low-side MOSFET. The device reads the voltage on the MODE pin during start-up and latches onto one of the MODE options listed in Table 6-1. The voltage on the MODE pin can be set by connecting a resistor to AGND. A guideline for the MODE resistor in 1% resistors is shown in Table 6-1. The MODE pin setting can be reset only by a VIN or EN power cycling.

Table 6-1 MODE Pin Settings
MODE PinOver Current Limit
R = 10kohmILIM-1 (Typ = 7.2A)
R = 30.1kohmILIM (Typ = 9.6A)
R = 52.3kohmILIM+1 (Typ = 12A)
Figure 6-1 shows the typical start-up sequence of the device after the enable signal triggers the EN turn-on threshold. After the voltage of internal VCC crosses the UVLO rising threshold, the MODE setting is read. After this process, the MODE is latched and does not change until VIN or EN toggles to restart this device. Then, after a delay, the internal soft-start function begins to ramp up and Vout ramps up smoothly. When Vout is up to the reference voltage, PGOOD turns to high after a delay.
