APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
time point 2). Pulses less than 20ms on POR are ignored.
CPON goes low. Both GATEHI and GATELO will be
actively pulled down to GND. When VOUTLO drops below
its reset threshold voltage, PWRGD will immediately pull
low (time point 3) followed by RESET and DISABLE 32µs
later (time point 4). Both supplies will be discharged to
ground and stay there until POR is pulled high.
The circuit breaker can be reset by pulling POR low. After
POR is low for more than 20ms, the chip will immediately
try to power up the supplies once the outputs are below the
VTRIP point.
Circuit Breaker Timing
The waveforms for the circuit when a short occurs on
either supply during board insertion are shown in
Figure 16. Time points 1 to 4 are the same as the board
insertion example, but at time point 5, a short circuit is
detected on one of the supplies. The charge pumps are
immediately turned off, the outputs VOUTHI and VOUTLO are
actively pulled to GND and the CPON and FAULT pins are
pulled low. At time point 6, the circuit breaker is reset by
pulling POR low. After POR has been low for 20ms (time
point 7), CPON and FAULT are pulled high, the 20µA
reference current is connected to RAMP and the charge
pumps are enabled. VOUTHI and VOUTLO ramp up at a
controlled rate. When VOUTLO has exceeded its reset
threshold, the PWRGD signal is pulled high (time point 8).
After a 200ms delay, RESET is pulled high and DISABLE
goes low.
