8.3.7 Fault Response and Indication (FLT)

Table 8-3 summarizes the device response to various fault conditions. Additionally, an active low external fault indication (FLT) pin is available on the TPS25970x variants.

Faults which are latched internally can be cleared either by power cycling the part (pulling VIN to 0 V) or by pulling the EN/UVLO pin voltage below VSD. This action also releases the FLT pin for the TPS25970x variants and resets the tRSTtimer for the TPS2597xA (auto-retry) variants.

During a latched fault, pulling the EN/UVLO just below the UVLO threshold has no impact on the device. This fact is true for both TPS2597xL (latch-off) and TPS2597xA (auto-retry) variants.

For TPS2597xA (auto-retry) variants, on expiry of the tRSTtimer after a fault, the device restarts automatically and the FLT pin is de-asserted (TPS25970A variant).
