SLVSBD1B December 2012 – August 2025 TPS65175
PRODUCTION DATA
During normal operation, the TPS65175/A is able to provide up to 1.5 mA of base current typically and is designed to work best with transistors whose DC gain (hFE) is between 100 and 300. The charge pump is protected against short-circuits on its output, which are detected for voltages below 1 V. During short-circuit mode, the base current available from the CTRLP pin is limited to 60 μA typically. Note that if a short-circuit is detected during normal operation, the boost converter switching activity is also halted until VGH is above 1 V. Typical application circuits are shown in Figure 8-1.
