The TPIC74100 is a switch-mode regulator with integrated switches for voltage-mode control. With the aid of external components (LC combination), the device regulates the output to 5 V ±3% for a wide input-voltage range.

The TPIC74100 offers a reset function to detect and indicate when the 5-V output rail is outside of the specified tolerance. This reset delay is programmable using an external timing capacitor on the REST pin. Additionally, an alarm (A_OUT) feature is activated when the input supply rail V_driver is below a prescaled specified value (set by the A_IN pin).

The TPIC74100 has a frequency-modulation scheme to minimize EMI. The clock modulator permits a modulation of the switching frequency to reduce interference energy in the frequency band.

The 5Vg output is a switched 5-V regulated output with internal current limiting to prevent RESET from being asserted when powering a capacitive load on the supply line. This function is controlled by the 5Vg_ENABLE pin. If there is a short to ground on this output (5Vg output), the output self-protects by operating in a chopping mode. This does, however, increase the output ripple voltage on V_OUT during this fault condition.
