SLUSB56B November 2012 – April 2019 TPS53819A
PRODUCTION DATA.
The CLEAR_FAULTS command is used to clear any fault bits in the STATUS_WORD and STATUS_BYTE registers that have been set. This command clears all bits in all status registers. Simultaneously, the TPS53819A releases its ALERT signal output if the device is asserting the ALERT signal. If the fault condition is still present when the bit is cleared, the fault bits shall immediately be set again, and the ALERT signal should also be re-asserted.
The CLEAR_FAULTS does not cause a unit that has latched off for a fault condition to restart. Units that have been shut down for a fault condition can be restarted with one of the following conditions.
The CLEAR_FAULT command is used to clear the fault bits in the STATUS_WORD and STATUS_BYTE commands, and to release the ALERT pin. It is recommended not to send CLEAR_FAULT command when there is no fault to cause the ALERT pin to pull down.
