PRODUCT PREVIEW Information. Product in design phase of development. Subject to change or discontinuance without notice.
Buck load current can be monitored via I2C registers. The monitored buck converter is selected with the LOAD_CURRENT_BUCK_SELECT bit in SEL_I_LOAD register. A write to this selection register starts a current measurement sequence. The regulator is automatically forced to PWM mode for the measurement period. The measurement sequence is 50 µs long, maximum.
TPS65653-Q1 can be configured to give out an interrupt (I_MEAS_INT bit in INT_TOP_1 register) after the load current measurement sequence is finished. Load current measurement interrupt can be masked with I_MEAS_MASK bit (TOP_MASK_1 register). The measurement result can be read from registers I_LOAD_1 and I_LOAD_2. Register I_LOAD_1 bits BUCK_LOAD_CURRENT[7:0] give out the LSB bits and register I_LOAD_2 bit BUCK_LOAD_CURRENT[8] the MSB bit. The measurement result BUCK_LOAD_CURRENT[8:0] LSB is 20 mA, and maximum code value of the measurement corresponds to 10.22 A.
