The next factor to consider is the drain-to-source voltage rating, VDS(MAX), of the MOSFET. Although the
MOSFET only sees 12 V DC, it may experience much higher transient voltages during extreme conditions, such
as the abrupt shutoff that occurs during a fast trip. A TVS may be required to limit inductive transients under such
conditions. A transistor with a VDS(MAX) rating of at least twice the nominal input power-supply voltage is
recommended regardless of whether a TVS is used or not.
Next select the on resistance of the transistor, rDS(on). The maximum on-resistance must not generate a voltage
greater then the minimum power-good threshold voltage of 140 mV. Assuming a current limit of 12 A, a
maximum rDS(on) of 11.67 m is required. Also consider the effect of rDS(on) upon the maximum operating
temperature TJ(MAX) of the MOSFET. Equation 6 computes the value of rDS(on)(MAX) at a junction temperature of TJ(MAX). Most manufacturers list rDS(on)(MAX) at 25°C and provide a derating curve from which values at other
temperatures can be derived. Compute the maximum allowable on-resistance, rDS(on)(MAX), using Equation 6. (6)
Taking these factors into consideration, the TI CSD16403Q5 was selected for this example. This transistor has a
VGS(MAX) rating of 16 V, a VDS(MAX) rating of 25 V, and a maximum rDS(on) of 2.8 mΩ at room temperature. During
normal circuit operation, the MOSFET can have up to 10 A flowing through it. The power dissipation of the
MOSFET equates to 0.24 W and a 9.6
°C rise in junction temperature. This is well within the data sheet limits for
the MOSFET. The power dissipated during a fault (e.g., output short) is far larger than the steady-state power.
The power handling capability of the MOSFET must be checked during fault conditions.
STEP 3. Choose Power-Limit Value, PLIM, and RPROG
MOSFET M1 dissipates large amounts of power during inrush. The power limit PLIM of the TPS24710/11/12/13
should be set to prevent the die temperature from exceeding a short-term maximum temperature, TJ(MAX)2. The
short-term TJ(MAX)2 could be set as high as 130°C while still leaving ample margin to the usual manufacturer’s
rating of 150
°C. Equation 7 is an expression for calculating PLIM, (7)
where RθJC is the junction-to-case thermal resistance of the MOSFET, rDS(on) is the resistance at the maximum
operating temperature, and the factor of 0.8 represents the tolerance of the constant-power engine. For an
ambient temperature of 50
°C, the calculated maximum PLIM is 29.3 W. From Equation 1, a 53.6-k, 1% resistor (8)
