3 Description

The TPSI3100-Q1 is a fully integrated isolated switch

driver, which when combined with an external power

switch, forms a complete isolated solid state relay

solution. With a gate drive voltage of 17V with 1.5A

and 2.5A peak source and sink current, a large

availability of power switches can be used to meet

many application needs. The TPSI3100-Q1 generates

its own secondary bias supply from power received on

its primary side, so no isolated secondary supply bias

is required. The TPSI3100-Q1 provides additional

power via the nominal 5V rail (VDDM) for use by

auxiliary circuits to perform various function such as

current and voltage monitoring or remote temperature

detection. The TPSI3100-Q1 isolation is extremely

robust with much higher reliability, lower power

consumption, and increased temperature ranges than

those found using traditional mechanical relays and

optocouplers.

The TPSI3100-Q1 integrates a communication backchannel

that transfers status information from the

secondary side to the primary side via open-drain

outputs, PGOOD (Power Good), FLT1 (Fault 1), and

ALM1 (Alarm 1). Dual high-speed comparators with

an integrated shared voltage reference are used

to assert FLT1 and ALM1. When the comparator

input, FLT1_CMP, exceeds the voltage reference, the

driver is immediately asserted low and FLT1 is also

driven low, indicating to the system that a fault has

occurred. This is useful for disabling the external

switch with low latency on critical events, such as

overcurrent detection. When the comparator input,

ALM1_CMP, exceeds the voltage reference, ALM1

signal is asserted low, but no action is taken by the

driver. This may be useful as an alarm or warning

indicator for overtemperature or overvoltage events.

The TPSI310xL-Q1 series offers a latch based fault

indicator. When a fault is detected, the driver and the

fault indicator are asserted low and remain latched,

until EN is asserted low. The TPSI310x-Q1 series has

a non-latched fault indicator. If the fault event is no

longer present, FLT1 deasserts and the driver, after

a specified recovery period, follows the state of the

EN pin. If the fault event still remains, both the fault

indicator and the driver remain asserted low.
