SLVSHO1 March 2025 TPS1689
ADVANCE INFORMATION
Systems which need power from a common source to be distributed to different power zones can use multiple TPS1689 devices connected as shown in Figure 7-4 to provide independent monitoring and protection for each zone.
In this configuration, the following pins of each device are tied to the respective pins on the other devices.
IN
EN/UVLO
SCL
SDA
The EN/UVLO pins can be separated if each zone needs to have a different hardware control signal or UVLO threshold.
In this configuration, all the devices are monitored and controlled independently through the PMBus®. Because the devices share the same bus, they must have different device addresses, which can be set using different pin-strapping combinations on the ADDR0 and ADDR1 pins.
