Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operational input voltage range for this device?

The recommended operating input voltage (V_IN) range is 10 V to 40 V.

How does the TPS40056 handle overloads or faults?

It incorporates externally programmable short circuit protection, offering pulse-by-pulse current limit and hiccup mode operation for extended overload situations.

What precautions should be taken during handling to prevent damage?

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection; leads should be shorted together or the device stored in conductive foam.

Where must the PowerPAD heat slug be connected in a layout?

The PowerPAD heat slug must be connected to SGND (pin 5) or electrically isolated from all other pins.
