Short To Battery Protection

When evaluating the safety and reliability of an automotive grade multiplexer, it is important to note their performance under various operating conditions. In the case of TMUX13xxA, we examine its response to various short-to-battery conditions to provide insight on system level design for automotive optimization. It is important to design around short-to-battery as failure to do so can result in operational issues. The following section shows a deep dive into two scenarios to demonstrate the behavior of the TMUX1308A under short-to-battery conditions using a 5V supply voltage.

We begin with the following setup to explore our first scenario with channel S7 selected and channel S0 experiencing a short-to-battery condition.

Table 9-2 indicates values of ∆VOUT, VSBAT and minimum RLIM for various VBAT cases when considering a maximum allotment of 25mAfor IS/ID. Choosing too large of an RLIM will negatively affect ∆VOUT as well as substantially limit current flow. Choosing too small of an RLIM can damage the device.

Table 9-2 RLim Values for 25mA Through the Switch
VBAT RLIM ∆VOUT (typ) VSBAT
12V 470 < 10µV 5.6V
19V 750 < 10µV 5.6V
24V 1K < 10µV 5.6V
36V 1.5K < 10µV 5.6V
48V 2K < 10µV 5.6V
60V 2.4K < 10µV 5.6V

We then evaluate the scenario of seeing a short-to-battery condition on all unselected channels at the same time. The follwing table indicates values when considering a maximum allotment of 12.5mA for IS/ID(for more information, see Section 6.1). If you have the potential to see short-to-battery on all channels at the same time, then 12.5mA is the limiting factor. Here again choosing too large of an RLIM will negatively affect ∆VOUT as well as substantially limit current flow.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the device do not choose too small of an RLIM.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the device do not choose too small of an RLIM.

In conclusion, several short-to-battery case studies were observed using a 5V supply. Note that if using a lower supply voltage, the RLim values will change for optimal current flow. It is important to protect against short-to-battery conditions as a failure to do so can result in system level issues. Take care to design around these conditions and the electrical characteristics for proper device operation.
