7.4.4 Powering the Device From a 5.0-V Bus

The TPSM8A29 can deliver up to a 15-A load current when powering from a 5-V bus, 12 A for TPSM8A28. To make sure the internal analog circuitry and the gate drives are powered up properly, the VCC pin must be shorted to the VIN pins with a low impedance trace. A trace with at least 24-mil width is recommended. Due to the maximum rating limit on the VCC pin, the VIN input range under this configuration is 4.75 V to 5.3 V. The input voltage must stay higher than both VIN UVLO and VCC UVLO, otherwise the device shuts down immediately. Figure 7-5 shows an example for this single VIN configuration.

VIN and EN are the two signals to enable the part. For start-up sequence, any sequence between the VIN and EN signals can power the device up correctly.
