SBVS050M May 2004 – March 2023 TPS3808
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS3808 has three options for setting the RESET delay time as shown in #SBVS050FIG8411. #SBVS050FIG8411 (a) shows the configuration for a fixed 300-ms typical delay time by tying CT to VDD; a resistor from 40 kΩ to 200 kΩ must be used. Supply current is not affected by the choice of resistor. #SBVS050FIG8411 (b) shows a fixed 20-ms delay time by leaving the CT pin open. #SBVS050FIG8411 (c) shows a ground referenced capacitor connected to CT for a user-defined program time between 1.25 ms and 10 s.
The capacitor CT should be ≥ 100 pF nominal value in order for the TPS3808xxx to recognize that the capacitor is present. The capacitor value for a given delay time can be calculated using #SBVS037EQ8047.
The reset delay time is determined by the time it takes an on-chip precision 220-nA current source to charge the external capacitor to 1.23 V. When a RESET is asserted, the capacitor is discharged. When the RESET conditions are cleared, the internal current source is enabled and begins to charge the external capacitor. When the voltage on this capacitor reaches 1.23 V, RESET is deasserted. Note that a low-leakage type capacitor such as a ceramic should be used, and that stray capacitance around this pin may cause errors in the reset delay time.
