Design Notes
The TPS1689x-Q1 can dissipate significant power at high currents. For example, at 20A with a 3.5mΩ RON, power dissipation is 1.4W. Ensure adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias to keep the junction temperature within limits. The VQFN package has an exposed pad that should be soldered to a large copper pour for heat spreading.
Place input and output capacitors close to the VIN and VOUT pins to minimize parasitic inductance. Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors with sufficient voltage rating. For high-current paths, use wide traces or copper pours to reduce resistance and inductance. The PMBus lines should be routed with proper termination and isolation if necessary.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum input voltage of 92V. Ensure the transient fault blanking interval is set appropriately to avoid nuisance trips during inrush. The PMBus interface requires proper pull-up resistors and address configuration. Verify the stackable configuration's current sharing and ensure IMON pins are tied together correctly.
