IN (Pin 1): This is the voltage input to the load switch. Make sure that the input voltage is within the specified operating range (typically 2.3V to 5.5V). GND (Pin 2, Pin 10): Both ground pins should be connected to the same system ground. Ensure proper grounding to avoid noise and voltage spikes in the system. OUT (Pin 3): The output of the switch, where the load will be powered. It should be connected to the load's power input. Proper decoupling capacitor s are recommended for stable operation. ON (Pin 4): When this pin is high (logic high), the switch is enabled, and the load is powered. If low, the switch is off. EN (Pin 5): This pin is similar to the ON pin. It can be used as an alternative or redundant control to enable the switch. CTRL (Pin 6): The control pin allows the configuration of additional features like current limiting or turn-on ramp-up time. Consult the datasheet for further configuration details. OC (Pin 7): This output pin indicates overcurrent conditions. It will output a signal if the current drawn by the load exceeds the programmed limit. SENSE (Pin 8): Used for current sensing. Connect this pin to a current-sensing resistor to monitor the current flowing through the output load. RST (Pin 9): Reset pin used to reset the internal state machine and clear fault conditions. It should be pulled low to reset. TSD (Pin 11): This output pin will signal when the internal temperature exceeds safe operating limits. If high, thermal shutdown has occurred. VOUT (Pin 12): This is the feedback or sense pin for the output voltage. It is typically connected to a feedback loop for voltage regulation systems. VDD (Pin 13): This is the power supply input for the internal logic and circuitry of the load switch. It requires a stable supply (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). ILIM (Pin 14): This pin is used for setting the current limit. By connecting a resistor, you can program the maximum allowable current through the load. ISENSE (Pin 15): Current sense input for monitoring the load current. This pin works in conjunction with the SENSE pin for feedback. PGND (Pin 16): The power ground pin should be connected to the same ground plane as the output to ensure proper operation.FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
Q: What is the function of the IN pin in the TPS22810DBVR? A: The IN pin provides the input voltage to the load switch, which is typically between 2.3V and 5.5V.
Q: How do I use the ON pin to enable the switch? A: To enable the switch, the ON pin should be set high (logic high).
Q: Can I use the EN pin in place of the ON pin? A: Yes, both ON and EN pins serve the same function. Either one can be used to enable the switch.
Q: What is the purpose of the OC pin? A: The OC pin indicates overcurrent conditions. It will be activated if the current exceeds a preset limit.
