TPS65013RGZR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS65013RGZR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and placement for the TPS65013RGZR?
  Texas Instruments provides a recommended layout and placement guide in the TPS65013RGZR datasheet (Section 10.2) and in the application note 'TPS65013 Layout and Thermal Considerations' (SLUAAC7). It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure proper thermal performance and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• How do I select the correct output capacitor for the TPS65013RGZR?
  The output capacitor selection depends on the output voltage, output current, and desired ripple voltage. Texas Instruments recommends using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a minimum capacitance of 10 μF and a voltage rating of at least 1.5 times the output voltage. The application note 'TPS65013 Output Capacitor Selection' (SLUAAC6) provides more detailed guidance.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the TPS65013RGZR can handle?
  Although the datasheet specifies a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V, the device can handle input voltages up to 6 V for short durations (e.g., during power-up or voltage transients). However, sustained operation above 5.5 V may reduce the device's reliability and lifespan.
• How do I configure the TPS65013RGZR for a specific output voltage?
  The output voltage is set using the FB pin and an external resistor divider network. The datasheet provides a formula to calculate the required resistor values for a given output voltage. Additionally, Texas Instruments offers a voltage calculator tool (TPS65013 Voltage Calculator) to simplify the process.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the TPS65013RGZR?
  The thermal shutdown temperature is typically around 150°C, but this value can vary depending on the specific device and operating conditions. It's essential to ensure proper thermal design and heat sinking to prevent overheating and thermal shutdown.
