JAJSI75A April 2018 – November 2019 TPS57112C-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
To operate at high switching frequencies and provide protection during overcurrent conditions, the TPS57112C-Q1 device implements a frequency shift. Without the frequency shift, during an overcurrent condition the low-side MOSFET may not turn off long enough to reduce the current in the inductor, causing a current runaway. With frequency shift, an overcurrent condition reduces the switching frequency from 100% to 50%, then 25%, as the voltage decreases from 0.8 V to 0 V on the VSENSE pin. The frequency shift allows the low-side MOSFET to be off long enough to decrease the current in the inductor. During start-up, the switching frequency increases as the voltage on VSENSE increases from 0 V to 0.8 V. See Figure 6 for details.
