DESCRIPTION
TSM108 is a step-down PWM controller designed
to drive an external P-channel MOSFET, provid-
ing constant voltage and constant current regula-
tions in battery charger applications.
TSM108 can easily be configured for very wide
voltage and current needs.
It has been realized in rugged BCD technology
and includes a PWM generator, Voltage and Cur-
rent control loops, a precise Voltage Reference,
and a Gate Driver. The device can sustain 60V on
Vcc, and therefore meet the standard Load Dump
requirements of the 12V cars battery.
On boards there are other security functions which
lock the external power in OFF state: OVLO (Over
Voltage Lockout) and UVLO (Under Voltage Lock-
out). The mosfet gate is also protected from over
voltage drive thanks to a 12V clamping protection
circuit.
Moreover, a standby feature allows very low qui-
escent current when activated, but keeping safe
the external power element when Off.
The IC is suitable for 12V car accessories, as well
as other DC/DC step down converters.

5. A current foldback function is implemented thanks to a systematic -6mV negative offset on the current amplifier inputs which
protects the battery from over charging current under low battery voltage conditiions, or output short circuit conditions.
6. The Gate Drive output stage has been optimized for PMosfets with input capacitance equal to Cload. A bigger Mosfet (with input
capacitance higher than Cload) can be used with TSM108, but the gate drive performances will be reduced (in particular when
reaching the Dmax. PWM mode).
7. The given limits comprise the hysteresis (UV
hyst
).
8. It is possible to modify the UVLO and OVLO limits by adding a resistor (to ground or to V
CC
) on the pins UV and OV.
The internal values of the resistor should be taken into account.
