TPS2034D datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS2034D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating of the TPS2034D?
  The maximum current rating of the TPS2034D is 1.5A per channel, but it can be limited by the thermal performance of the PCB and the ambient temperature.
• How do I ensure the TPS2034D is properly thermally managed?
  To ensure proper thermal management, ensure a good thermal connection between the device and the PCB, use a thermal pad or thermal tape, and provide adequate airflow around the device.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to enable or disable the device. To use it, connect it to a logic-level signal (e.g., from a microcontroller) to turn the device on or off.
• How do I handle overcurrent protection (OCP) and short-circuit protection (SCP) in my design?
  The TPS2034D has built-in OCP and SCP. If an overcurrent or short-circuit condition is detected, the device will limit the current or shut down. You can also add external circuitry to enhance protection.
• What is the recommended layout and routing for the TPS2034D?
  Follow good PCB design practices: keep the device close to the power source, use wide traces for power and ground, and minimize inductance in the power path.
