The TPS22919 is a small, ultra-low leakage current, single-channel load switch. Figure 2-11 shows the schematic design of the TPS22860.
The device power supply is 3.3 V which is assumed to be protected against fault and remains within ±20% tolerance. To limit the voltage drop on the input supply, which is caused by transient inrush currents when the switch turns on into a discharged load capacitor, a ceramic capacitor of 1 µF is placed between the VIN and GND pins.
The ON pin which is compatible with standard GPIO logic threshold controls the state of the switch by signal STO1_EN. The QOD pin is left open, the output will be floating when ON pin is logic low.
Use Equation 5 to calculate the inrush current during turn on for a given capacitance and slew rate:
The output of the switch is connected to the primary 3.3-V supply (VCC) of the gate driver. Dual redundant PNP bipolar junction transistors Q2 and Q3, actively clamp the logic side gate drive supply VCC to GND when STO_1 is activated. This prevents reverse bias of the VCC supply through the CMOS input gate driver ISO5852S (or ISO5452) in case the PWM signals are still active high (3V3).
