C3 Main Circuit breaker design notes
Part TI - TPS259621
This information is all from the data sheet.
1. Pins 2 and 8 are left intentionaly open. Pin 2 is to set a longer inrush
slew rate and pin 8 is left open to set 13.7V as the over voltage clamp set
point [p21].
2. The Voltage divider on pin 3 sets the under voltage set point as follows
VIN_(UV) = V_UVLO*(R1+R2)/R2. [p19] Where V_UVLO = 1.2 V [p7], VIN_(UV) is the threshold
at which the IC turns on the power rail and R1(top resistor) = 10k R2(bottom resistor) = 31.7k.
With this config undervoltage lockout is 5V.
3. The resistor at pin 7 sets the limit current according to the equation
R_ILM (Ohms) = 903 / (I_LIM (A) - 0.0112) [p22]. With the R_ILM = 3.1k, I_LIM = 0.302 (A).
You can also monitor the input current by routing this pin to an analog input
on the MCU.
4. Pin 6 is left open because this is pulled low when the IC cuts power to
the rail. If that happens the MCU wont be there to see this pin go low anyay.
5. This part is an auto retry. If an overvoltage or over current condition
persists, it enters thermal shutdown at 157 C and cuts power to the rail [p7]. It then
restablishes power after it has cooled down 11.5 C and 95 ms have elapsed [p8].
