3.3.1.2 Power Down

During the power-down process, the VIN ramp down is also slow because the VIN has to discharge the > 700µF capacitance (see Figure 3-5).

As the VIN drops to approximately 7V, the 12V rail starts to power down. When this 12V rail gets to approximately 4V, the VIN shuts down the 3.3V rail. Then the remaining charge of the capacitors dissipates slowly.

Table 3-7 shows the system status when the current is a 12V rail.

Table 3-7 12V Rail Current in Various System Status
MEASUREMENT SYSTEM STATUS 12V RAIL CURRENT
Current (mA) Idle (Gate driver disabled) 73.5
Current (mA) 16kHz PWM 125.4
Note: By default, in this design the C2000 LaunchPad is supposed to be powered up by the TIDA-010956 with the 3.3V supply through a 0Ω resistor (R29). Remove the JP1 (5V power supply from the PC USB) on the LAUNCHXL-F280039C before applying VIN.
