PRODUCTION DATA
Brownout is a condition where the VDD1 supply droops below the specified operating voltage range but the device remains functional. Power-loss is a condition where the VDD1 supply drops below a level where the device stops being functional. Depending on the duration and the voltage level, a brownout condition may or may not be noticeable at the output of the device. A power-loss condition is always signaled on the output of the isolated comparator.
Figure 7-11 through Figure 7-13 show typical brownout and power-loss scenarios.
In Figure 7-11, VDD1 droops below the undervoltage detection threshold (VDD1UV) but recovers before the high-side-fault detection delay time (tHS,FLT) expires. The brownout event has no effect on the comparator outputs.
In Figure 7-12, VDD1 droops below the undervoltage detection threshold (VDD1UV) for more than the high-side-fault detection delay time (tHS,FLT). The brownout condition is detected as a fault and both outputs are pulled low after a delay equal to tHS,FLT. The device resumes normal operation as soon as VDD1 recovers above the VDD1UV threshold.
In Figure 7-13, VDD1 droops below the power-on-reset (POR) threshold (VDD1POR). The power-loss condition is detected as a fault and both outputs are pulled low after a delay equal to tHS,FLT. The device resumes normal operation after a delay equal to tHS,STA + tHS,BLK after VDD1 recovers above the VDD1UV threshold.
