TDA3683
Multiple voltage regulator with switch and ignition buffer
7.3 Power switch
The power switch (pin PSW) is activated by the MODE input. It is switched off during
thermal shutdown and load dump conditions. The power switch output voltage is internally
clamped at 16 V to protect connected application circuitry (e.g. display and CD / tape
drives). The power switch has three different output current modes, depending on its
output voltage, the reset capacitor (RDC1) and the junction temperature (i.e. high current,
low current and foldback protection); see Figure 7. In the event of an overload the power
switch can maintain the maximum output current for a limited period of time (determined
by the integration time of the reset delay capacitor) before it drops back to the lower output
current capability. This functionality is implemented to prevent, in case of loads such as
light bulbs, relays or electrical motors, the power switch from folding back on momentary
high inrush currents. In the event of junction temperatures above 150 °C, the power switch
will drop back to the lower output current capability.The power switch has a built-in flyback
clamp for use in case of inductive loads.
7.4 Enable and mode inputs
The enable inputs (pins EN1 and EN2/3) are used to switch on or switch off the standby
regulators. The mode input (MODE) is used to enable the switched regulators and the
power switch. When all of these inputs are LOW the circuit is in Sleep mode and only the
enable detection circuit and the supply overvoltage protection circuit are active. In Sleep
mode the device draws a very small quiescent current from the supply. When at least one
of the enable inputs is activated the circuit will operate in Standby mode. When the mode
input is activated the on condition will be established; before the MODE pin can be
activated at least one of the standby regulators must be activated. The enable and mode
inputs are 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS logic compatible. A detailed description of the enable and
mode pin dependencies is given in Table 4.
