TPS2063DG4

The TPS2063DG4 is a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) designed specifically for automotive applications. It is part of the Texas Instruments family of PMICs, which is designed to provide a range of solutions for automotive power management. The TPS2063DG4 is part of the Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers PMICs.

Usage of TPS2063DG4

The TPS2063DG4 is used for a variety of automotive applications, including low-side and high-side MOSFET drivers, as well as load switches. It has several features that make it suitable for automotive use, such as on-board thermal protection, foldback protection, and programmable over-current protection. The device is also AEC-Q100 Grade-0 qualified, which makes it suitable for use in harsh environments.

Features

The TPS2063DG4 offers several features that make it ideal for automotive applications. These features include a wide range of operating voltage (from 4 V to 20 V) and power load capability (up to 10 A). The device also features an adjustable switching frequency (up to 70 MHz) and a wide range of over-temperature and over-current protection. Additionally, the device has an integrated programmable pre-driver, which allows it to be used for pulse-width modulation (PWM) for control and dimming. The device also comes with integrated ESD protection, making it more reliable and robust.

Working Principle

The TPS2063DG4 works by using a combination of two inputs, the high-side power switch (HSPS) and the low-side power switch (LSPS). When the HSPS is activated, the device creates a voltage at the output, which is used to power the load. The LSPS is activated when the output voltage reaches a certain level. This will effectively turn off the HSPS, allowing the device to control the output voltage. If the output voltage moves outside of the preset range, the LSPS will be triggered and the load will be shut off.
