PRODUCTION DATA
TCAN245x-Q1 includes a fully integrated synchronous buck (step-down) regulator on VCC1. VCC1 is the main supply for the low-voltage digital I/O pins and is the intended supply for the microcontroller. Figure 8-4 shows the simplified block diagram.
VSUPB is the input supply pin to the buck regulator. However, verify that VSUP and VSUPB connect on the board together for the buck regulator to turn ON and function properly. Verify that VSUP/VSUPB connect to the battery through an external reverse battery-blocking diode and EMI filtering network. The VSUPB pin is a high-voltage-tolerant pin. Decoupling capacitor with a value of 100nF is recommended to connect close to this pin to improve the transient performance.
The VCC1 output pin sources either 3.3V or 5V to external circuits with up to 1A of current. If VSEL pin connects to GND, the VCC1 output is set to 5V. If VSEL pin is left floating, the VCC1 output is set to 3.3V. The state of the VSEL pin is detected at power-up and VCC1 output level is configured accordingly. After the power-up sequence completes, the state of the VSEL pin does not affect the VCC1 output configuration. The internal pull-up disables after the power-up sequence to avoid current draw from VSEL pin.The VCC1 pin is capable of sinking either 10µA or 1000µA of current depending upon the register setting VCC1_SINK and is active by default. Disable the current sink by setting the register bit VCC1_SNK_DIS.
Connect an inductor LOUT of suitable value between BUCKSW and VCC1 pins. A output capacitor COUT is required between VCC1 and GND. The application section explains selection criteria for the correct values for LOUT and COUT. Connect a boot capacitor CBOOT of 100nF between BUCKSW and BOOT pins. The CBOOT capacitor is required for the proper operation of high-side switch.
The register BUCK_CONFIG1 allows user to set the spread spectrum modulation options SS_MOD_FREQ, regular switching frequency, the configuration of PWM and Auto modes in low-power modes, and current limiting settings. The buck regulator employs dual random spread spectrum (DSRSS) method
There are three monitors on VCC1: under-voltage (UVCC1), over-voltage (OVCC1) and short to ground (VCC1SC). VCC1 is the main regulator output and sets the digital IO voltage levels. Any fault on VCC1 causes a device state change as described in Figure 8-53.
