SLVSF13A March 2019 – August 2021 TL7700-SEP
PRODUCTION DATA
Constant-current charging starts on the timing capacitor when the sensing-line voltage reaches the TL7700-SEP sense voltage. When the capacitor voltage exceeds the threshold level of the output drive comparator, RESET changes from a low to a high level. The output pulse duration is the time between the point when the SENSE-pin voltage exceeds the threshold level and the point when the RESET output changes from a low level to a high level. When the TL7700-SEP is used for system power-on reset, the output pulse duration, tpo, must be set longer than the power rise time. The value of tpo in seconds is:
where:
ΔVCT is the change in voltage at the CT pin (1.5-V reference voltage)
ICT is the timing capacitor charge current (typically 15 µA)
There is a limit on the device response speed. Even if Ct = 0, tpo is not 0, but approximately 5 µs to 10 µs. Therefore, when the TL7700-SEP is used as a comparator with hysteresis without connecting Ct, switching speeds (tr/tf, tpo/tpd, and so forth) must be considered.
