TPS24710DGSR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS24710DGSR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating of the TPS24710DGSR?
  The maximum current rating of the TPS24710DGSR is 10A, but it can be limited by the thermal performance of the PCB and the ambient temperature.
• How do I ensure the TPS24710DGSR is properly thermally managed?
  Proper thermal management involves providing a sufficient heat sink, ensuring good airflow, and keeping the device away from heat sources. The thermal pad of the device should be connected to a copper plane on the PCB to dissipate heat.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to turn the device on and off. It is an active-high input, meaning that the device is enabled when the EN pin is high and disabled when it is low. The EN pin can be connected to a logic signal or a switch to control the device's operation.
• How do I set the current limit of the TPS24710DGSR?
  The current limit of the TPS24710DGSR can be set using an external resistor connected between the ILIM pin and GND. The current limit is calculated using the formula: I_LIM = 0.5V / R_ILIM, where R_ILIM is the resistance of the external resistor.
• What is the purpose of the PG pin, and how do I use it?
  The PG (power good) pin is an open-drain output that indicates when the output voltage is within regulation. It can be used to monitor the output voltage and detect faults. The PG pin should be pulled up to a voltage source through a resistor.
