2.2.5.3.1 High-Side Switch (CS1)

The vehicle can use the 12V auxiliary power supplied by the EVSE to operate the internal high-voltage contactors. Therefore, the CHAdeMO standard defines a maximum load current up to 2A through the CS1 and CS2 lines.

The TPS281C100 is used to securely control the CS1 signal. This single-channel smart high-side switch has an operating voltage range of 6V to 60V and an adjustable current limit between 1A and 5A. Additionally the device integrates further protection features such as thermal shut down and output clamp to improve the system robustness during fault events such as short circuit. To protect the power supply, PCB traces, connectors, and the EV from overcurrent conditions, the current limit is set to 4A maximum (3.48A typical, 2.6A minimum) using a 14.7kΩ resistor connected to the ILIM pin of the TPS281C100. An LED (D20) indicates a fault condition such as thermal shutdown or overcurrent, providing visual feedback for system diagnostics.
