10 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

10.1 Application Information

10.1.1 Input Capacitor (Optional)

To limit the voltage drop on the input supply caused by transient in-rush currents when the switch turns on into a discharged load capacitor or short-circuit, a capacitor needs to be placed between VIN and GND. A 1-μF ceramic capacitor, CIN, placed close to the pins, is usually sufficient. Higher values of CIN can be used to further reduce the voltage drop during high-current application. When switching heavy loads, TI recommends to have an input capacitor about 10 times higher than the output capacitor to avoid excessive voltage drop.

10.1.2 Output Capacitor (Optional)

Due to the integral body diode in the PMOS switch, a CIN greater than CL is highly recommended. A CL greater than CIN can cause VOUT to exceed VIN when the system supply is removed. This could result in current flow through the body diode from VOUT to VIN.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

10.2.2.1 VIN to VOUT Voltage Drop

The voltage drop from VIN to VOUT is determined by the ON-resistance of the device and the load current. RON can be found in Electrical Characteristics and is dependent on temperature. When the value of RON is found, Equation 1 can be used to calculate the voltage drop across the device:

Equation 1. ΔV = ILOAD × RON

where

  • ΔV = Voltage drop across the device
  • ILOAD = Load current
  • RON = ON-resistance of the device

At VIN = 1.8 V, the TPS22903/4 has an RON value of 90 mΩ. Using this value and the defined load current, the above equation can be evaluated:

Equation 2. ΔV = 0.30 A × 90 mΩ

where

  • ΔV = 27 mV

Therefore, the voltage drop across the device will be 27 mV.

10.2.3 Application Curve

Figure 29 shows the expected voltage drop across the device for different load currents and input voltages.
