7.3.8 Fault Response

The following events trigger an internal fault which causes the device to shut down:

  • Overtemperature protection
  • Circuit-breaker operation
  • ITIMER pin short to GND
  • ILIM pin short to GND
Once the device shuts down due to a fault, even if the associated external fault is subsequently cleared, the fault stays latched internally and the output cannot turn on again until the latch is reset. The fault latch can be externally reset by one of the following methods:
  • Input supply voltage is driven low (< VUVP(F))
  • EN/UVLO voltage is driven low (< VSD)
The fault latch can also be reset by an internal auto-retry logic. The user can either disable the auto-retry behavior completely (latch-off behavior) or configure the device to auto-retry indefinitely or for a limited number of times before latching off. The auto-retry behavior is controlled by the connections on the RETRY_DLY and NRETRY pins.

Table 7-3 Pin Configurable Fault Response
EN/UVLORETRY_DLYNRETRYDEVICE STATE
LXXDisabled
HShort to GNDXNo auto-retry (Latch-off)
HOpenOpenAuto-retry 4 times with minimum delay between retries and then latch-off
HOpenShort to GNDAuto-retry indefinitely with minimum delay between retries
HCapacitor to GNDCapacitor to GNDAuto-retry delay and count as per Equation 10 and Equation 11
HCapacitor to GNDOpenAuto-retry 4 times with finite delay between retries as per Equation 10 and then latch-off
HCapacitor to GNDShort to GNDAuto-retry indefinitely with finite delay between retries as per Equation 10

To configure the part for a finite number of auto-retries with a finite auto-retry delay, first choose the capacitor value on RETRY_DLY pin using the following equation.

Equation 10. TPS25983

Next, choose the capacitor value on the NRETRY pin using the following equation.

Equation 11. TPS25983

The number of auto-retries is quantized to certain discrete levels as shown in Table 7-4.

Attention:

The auto-retry logic has a mechanism to reset the count to zero if two consecutive faults occur far apart in time. This mechanism makes sure that the auto-retry response to any later fault is handled as a fresh sequence and not as a continuation of the previous fault. If the fault which triggered the shutdown and subsequent auto-retry cycle is cleared eventually and does not occur again for a duration equal to 7 retry delay timer periods starting from the last fault, the auto-retry logic resets the internal auto-retry count to zero.
