2.1.2 Transient Load Circuit

The TPS7H4011EVM provides a transient load circuit using CSD16408Q5 N-Channel Power MOSFET, along with a 333mΩ load resistance created by 3, 1Ω chip resistors connected in parallel. While the CSD16408Q5 power MOSFET is capable of conducting the full 12A output current of the TPS7H4011, the chip resistors are each rated for only 2W. When utilizing the transient circuit on the TPS7H4011EVM, the signal sent to the MOSFET gate through TP30 (TRANS) can be modulated to keep the average power through the load resistors below the 2W rating.

For additional information on operation of the power MOSFET, please see the CSD16408Q5 data sheet.
