TPS1213-Q1 Evaluation Module for Smart High-Side
Driver
Description
The TPS1213Q1EVM allows reference circuit
evaluation of TI's TPS1213-Q1 smart high-side driver.
The TPS1213-Q1 device has operating range of
3.5V-40V and has main path gate drive with 1.69-A
strength to enable switching parallel MOSFETs in high
current designs. The TPS12130-Q1 has low-power
mode to support always ON loads while consuming
28 µA (typ). In low power mode, only the low power
path FET is kept ON and the main FETs are turned
OFF to save IQ. The device provides adjustable
short circuit protection with configurable auto-retry
and latch-off fault behavior.
Features
• 3.5-V to 40-V operating voltage range
• 15-A to 50-A adjustable short circuit protection
using onboard jumpers
• Programmable short-circuit protection delay
• Programmable load wakeup threshold
• Programmable auto-retry and latch options
• LED status indication for fault and Active mode
Applications
•Automotive 12 V BMS
•Power distribution box

This user’s guide describes the TPS1213-Q1 evaluation module (EVM). This guide provides configuration
information, test setup details and contains the EVM schematics, bill of materials, assembly drawings, and top
and bottom board layouts.

1.3 Specification
• 6-V to 36-V (typ) operation
• Current sensing using MOSFET VDS
• Programmable load wakeup threshold
1.4 Device Information
The TPS1213-Q1 is a 45-V low IQ smart high side driver with protection and diagnostics. With wide operating
voltage range of 3.5 V–40 V, the device is an excellent choice for 12-V system designs. The device can
withstand and protect the loads from negative supply voltages down to –40 V. The device has integrated two
gate drives with 1.69-A src/2-A sink capacity to drive MOSFETs in the main path and 150-μA src/2-A sink
capacity for the low power path.
In the low power mode with LPM = Low, the low power path FET is kept ON and the main FETs are turned OFF.
The device consumes low IQ of 35- μA (typ) in this mode. Auto Load wakeup threshold to enter into active state
can be adjusted using ISCP/LWU pin. IQ reduces to 1-μA (typ) with EN/ UVLO low.
The device provides adjustable short circuit protection using MOSFET VDS sensing or by using an external
RSNS resistor. Auto-retry and latch-off fault behavior can be configured. The device also features diagnosis of
the internal short circuit comparator using external control on SCP_TEST input.
