PRODUCTION DATA
TPSM8D6C24 devices have three internal linear regulators receiving power from AVIN and providing suitable bias (1.5 V, 1.8 V, and 5 V) for the internal circuitry of the device. Once AVIN, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, and 5-V reach their respective UVLOs, the device initiates a power-on reset, after which the device can be communicated with through PMBus for configuration and users can store defaults to the NVM.
VDD5 has internally fixed undervoltage lockout of 3.9 V (typical) to enable power-stage conversion. The VDD5 regulator can also be fed by an external supply of 4.75 V to 5.25 V to reduce internal power dissipation and improve efficiency by eliminating the loss in the internal LDO, or to allow operation with AVIN less than 4 V. The external supply should be higher voltage than the LDO regulation voltage programmed by Section 7.6.75.
The use of the internal regulators to power other circuits is not recommended because the loads placed on the regulators can adversely affect operation of the controller.
