SNVSCE0B May 2023 – January 2024 TPS3808E
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS3808E has three options for setting the RESET delay time as shown in Figure 8-4. Figure 8-4 (a) shows the configuration for a fixed 300ms typical delay time by tying CT to VDD; a resistor from 40kΩ to 200kΩ must be used. Supply current is not affected by the choice of resistor. Figure 8-4 (b) shows a fixed 20ms delay time by leaving the CT pin open. Figure 8-4 (c) shows a ground referenced capacitor connected to CT for a user-defined program time between 1.25ms and 10s.
The capacitor CT must be ≥ 100pF nominal value for the TPS3808Exxx to recognize that the capacitor is present. The capacitor value for a given delay time can be calculated using Equation 1.
The reset delay time is determined by the time it takes an on-chip precision 220nA current source to charge the external capacitor to the internal threshold. 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 higher than the internal threshold, RESET is deasserted. Note that a low-leakage type capacitor such as a ceramic must be used, and that stray capacitance around this pin may cause errors in the reset delay time.
