6.3.11.1 Current Balancing During Start-Up

The TPS1689 implements a proprietary current balancing mechanism during start-up, which allows TPS1689 and TPS1685x devices connected in parallel to share the inrush current and distribute the thermal stress across all the devices. This feature helps to complete a successful start-up with all the devices and avoid a scenario where some of the eFuses hit thermal shutdown prematurely. This in effect increases the inrush current capability of the parallel chain. The improved inrush performance makes it possible to support very large load capacitors on high current platforms without compromising the inrush time or system reliability.
