TPS65167RHAT is an advanced, compact power-management integrated circuit (PMIC) for transferring power to the demand side in applications that involve several voltage rails. It integrates the controllers, drivers, and associated circuitry for power applications, simplifying the system design. This PMIC allows the basic power distribution to be used in multiple applications (e.g. automotive, industrial, and consumer goods) allowing for improved efficiency, higher power budgets, and larger form factors.
TPS65167RHAT is equipped with advanced power management features, such as over-current protection and programmable soft start, dynamic voltage scaling, and frequency and phase control. It also has a fail-safe mechanism, which triggers when either over-current or over-voltage conditions are detected. The device also offers high-performance power sequencing, allowing designers to define the voltage turn-on order and timing according to their specific needs.
Applications
TPS65167RHAT has been designed for multi-channel power applications. It can be applied in a variety of products, including robotics and medical equipment, automotive systems, TVs and monitors, industrial applications, and financial and banking systems. Additionally, it can be used for power delivery systems in applications like servers, power supplies, and power over Ethernet.
Working Principle
TPS65167RHAT uses their patented Smart Sense technology to achieve efficient and reliable power delivery. This involves using multiple sense voltages and over-current or over-voltage protection circuits to monitor the current and voltage throughout the system. Based on this information, the device can take corrective action in the form of dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, phase control, or soft start. This ensures that the system is properly powered and maintain the desired level of performance.
Conclusion
TPS65167RHAT is a highly advanced PMIC designed for multi-channel power applications. It offers a powerful power management solution, with features such as over-current protection and programmable soft start, dynamic voltage scaling, and frequency and phase control. Additionally, it has a fail-safe mechanism which triggers when either over-current or over-voltage conditions are detected. With its advanced Smart Sense technology, TPS65167RHAT provides an efficient and reliable way of transferring power, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
