The TIDA-010932 reference design leverages a TPS26400 eFuse to protect the ICs in the event of an overvoltage or overcurrent event. The load, source, and device protection are provided with many adjustable features including overcurrent, output slew rate, and overvoltage, undervoltage thresholds. The internal robust protection control blocks along with the high voltage rating of the TPS26400 helps to simplify the system designs for protection. Figure 2-4 shows the implementation of the TPS26400 in this reference design.
To program the current limit threshold for the board, use Equation 2 to calculate the required resistance.
Using the 2 A as the current limit, a resistance of 6 kΩ is calculated. Rounding to the nearest 1% resistor value results with a resistance of 5.36 kΩ.
For the UVLO and OVLO set points, Equation 3 and Equation 4 are used to calculate the required resistance values. For minimizing the input current drawn from the power supply {I(R9,10,24) = V(IN) / (R9 + R10 + R24 )}, use higher value resistance for R9, R10, and R24 . However, the leakage current due to external active components connected at resistor string can add error to these calculations. So, the resistor string current, I(R9,10,24) must be chosen to be 20 × greater than the leakage current of the UVLO and OVP pins.
From the device electrical specifications, V(OVPR) = 1.19 V and V(UVLOR) = 1.19 V. From the design requirements, V(OV) is 36 V and V(UV) is 10 V. To solve the equation, first choose the value of R24 = 30.1 kΩ and use Equation 3 to solve for (R9 + R10) = 880.5 kΩ. Use Equation 4 and a value of (R9 + R10) to solve for R10 = 80 kΩ and finally R9 = 825 kΩ. Choose the closest standard 1% resistor values: R9 = 825 kΩ, R10 = 80 kΩ, and R24 = 30.1 kΩ.
J6 provides the option to change the mode for the eFuse based on the needs of the designer. The mode can be switched from current limiting with auto-retry, current limiting with latch off, and circuit breaker with auto-retry, and is based on whether the mode pin is connected to RTN, connected to the 402-kΩ resistor to RTN, or left open respectively.
