8.1.1 MID_OUT Voltage Setting

The MID_OUT voltage has three different output voltage levels (10 V, 12 V, and 15 V), as listed in Table 8-1, depending on the MVSEL1 and MVSEL2 pin voltage settings.

Table 8-1 MID_OUT Voltage Setting
SET VMVSEL1SET VMVSEL2MID_OUT
VMVSEL1 ≤ VMVSEL1(LOW)VMVSEL2 ≤ VMVSEL2(LOW)15 V
VMVSEL1 ≤ VMVSEL1(LOW)VMVSEL2 ≥ VMVSEL2(HIGH)12 V
VMVSEL1 ≥ VMVSEL1(HIGH)VMVSEL2 ≤ VMVSEL2(LOW)10 V
VMVSEL1 ≥ VMVSEL1(HIGH) VMVSEL2 ≥ VMVSEL2(HIGH) 12 V

For adjustable voltage options of the TPS7A44, and to maintain voltage regulation on the MID_OUT and OUT pins, the input voltage must be kept ≥ MID_OUT + VDO(MID_OUT). Additionally, to maintain regulation on the OUT pin, the MID_OUT voltage must be set ≥ VOUT(nom) + VDO(OUT).

Set the MVSEL1 and MVSEL2 voltages before enabling the device to set the MID_OUT voltage level; however, the MID_OUT voltage setting can be changed to a different level after the device had powered up. Do not allow these pins to float, instead tie them both to GND if not used to set VMID_OUT. When the device is powered while either of these pins are floating, the MID_OUT voltage is not set properly and might switch levels and cause damage to the device.
