Figure 49. Power Supply Path
The TPS65981 is powered from either VIN_3V3 or VBUS. The normal power supply input is VIN_3V3. In this
mode, current flows from VIN_3V3 to LDO_3V3 to power the core 3.3-V circuitry and the 3.3-V I/Os. A second
LDO steps the voltage down from LDO_3V3 to LDO_1V8D and LDO_1V8A to power the 1.8-V core digital
circuitry and 1.8-V analog circuits. When VIN_3V3 power is unavailable and power is available on the VBUS, the
TPS65981 will be powered from VBUS. In this mode, the voltage on VBUS is stepped down through an LDO to
LDO_3V3. Switch S1 in
is unidirectional and no current will flow from LDO_3V3 to VIN_3V3. When
VIN_3V3 is unavailable, this is an indicator that there is a dead-battery or no-battery condition.
9.3.5.1 Power-On and Supervisory Functions
A power-on-reset (POR) circuit monitors each supply. This POR allows active circuitry to turn on only when a
good supply is present. In addition to the POR and supervisory circuits for the internal supplies, a separate
programmable voltage supervisor monitors the VRSTZ_3V3 voltage.
9.3.5.2 Supply Switch-Over
VIN_3V3 takes precedence over VBUS, meaning that when both supply voltages are present the TPS65981 will
power from VIN_3V3. Refer to The
for a diagram showing the power supply path block. There are two
cases in with a power supply switch-over will occur. The first is when VBUS is present first and then VIN_3V3
becomes available. In this case, the supply will automatically switch-over to VIN_3V3 and brown-out prevention
is verified by design. The other way a supply switch-over will occur is when both supplies are present and
VIN_3V3 is removed and falls below 2.85 V. In this case, a hard reset of the TPS65981 occurs prompting a re-
boot.
9.3.5.3 RESETZ and MRESET
The VIN_3V3 voltage is connected to VRSTZ_3V3 by a single FET switch (S2 in
The enabling of the switch is controlled by the core digital circuitry and the conditions are programmable. A
supervisor circuit monitors the voltage at VRSTZ_3V3 for an under-voltage condition and sets the external
indicator RESETZ. The RESETZ pin is active low (low when an under-voltage condition occurs). The RESETZ
output is also asserted when the MRESET input is asserted. The MRESET input is active-high by default, but is
configurable to be active low.
shows the RESETZ timing with MRESET set to active high. When
VRSTZ_3V3 is disabled in application code, a resistance of RPDOUT_3V3 pulls down on the pin.
