SNVSBI5A July 2019 – September 2019 TPS3870-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS3870-Q1 features a voltage latch mode on the RESET pin when connecting the CT pin to common ground . A pull-down resistor is recommended to limit current consumption of the system. In latch mode, if the RESET pin is low or triggers low, the pin will stay low regardless if VSENSE is within the acceptable voltage boundaries (VSENSE < VIT+(OV)). To unlatch the device provide a voltage to the CT pin that is greater than the CT pin comparator threshold voltage, VCT. The RESET pin will trigger high instantaneously without any reset delay. A voltage greater than 1.2 V to recommended to ensure a proper unlatch. Use a series resistance to limit current when an unlatch voltage is applied. For more information, Design 1: RESET Latch Mode gives an example of a typical latch application.
NOTE
At power up, the TPS3870-Q1 will be latched when CT is connected to GND. To ensure correct power up when using RESET latch mode, send a pulse to the CT pin greater than 1.2 V after tSD and SENSE is within the correct window of operation.
