7.3.14 Output Short Circuit Fault

The TPS92520-Q1 monitors the CSNx voltage to detect output short circuit faults. A short failure is indicated when the CSNx voltage drops below 2.45 V. The corresponding CHxSHORT bit is set in the STATUS1 register. The device continues to regulate current and operate without interruption in case of short circuit. The microcontroller can detect short circuit either by reading the STATUS1 register or by reading the CSNx voltage measured by the ADC (CHxVLED register). Upon detection of a short, the microcontroller is required to take action by writing to SYSCFG1 register via SPI. A short circuit fault in standalone mode or limp-home mode does not impact the device behavior. The device continues to operate and regulate current without interruption.

GUID-9ED8C6E3-652A-44B8-98D9-F3F122CDCBBC-low.gifFigure 7-7 Cable harness parasitic inductance

The voltage transient imposed on CSPx and CSNx inputs during short circuit is dependent on the output capacitance and is influenced by the cable harness impedance. The inductance associated with a long cable harness resonates with the charge stored on the output capacitor and forces CSPx and CSNx voltage to ring below ground. The negative voltage and current are dependent on the parasitic cable harness inductance and resistance.

GUID-1F3B80AD-37C4-41B8-86D7-6DFD8C0EDAFA-low.gifFigure 7-8 Short Circuit Fault Transient Behavior

When using a long cable harness, a diode is recommended to clamp the negative voltage across CSPx and CSNx input, as shown in Figure 7-9. TI recommends a low forward voltage Schottky diode or a fast recovery silicon diode with reverse blocking voltage rating greater than the maximum output voltage. The diode is required to be placed close to the output capacitor and should ensure that the current flowing through CSP and CSN nodes under negative transient condition is below the absolute maximum rating of the device.
