SLUSC25B February 2015 – October 2026 TPS2388
PRODUCTION DATA
To eliminate the possibility of false detection, the TPS2388 uses a TI proprietary 4-point detection method to determine the signature resistance of the PD device. False detection of a 25kΩ signature can occur with 2-point detection type PSEs in noisy environments or if the load is highly capacitive.
Both detection 1 and detection 2 are merged into a single detection function which is repeated. Detection 1 applies I1 (160μA) to a port, waits 60ms, then measures the port voltage V1 with the integrating ADC. Detection 2 applies I2 (270μA) to a port, waits 60ms, then measures the port voltage V2. The process is repeated a second time. Multiple comparisons and calculations are performed on all four measurement point combinations to eliminate the effects of a non-linear or hysteretic PD signature. The resulting port signature is then sorted into the appropriate category.
The detection resistance measurement result is also available in the Port Detect Resistance register.
