PRODUCTION DATA.
The fault timer is active when the TPS2421 device is in SOA protect mode or the current is above ISET. Figure 13 illustrates operation during non-faulted startup (CLOAD = 470 µF and IVOUT = 1 A in a 12 V system). CCT charges at approximately 35 µA until TPS2421 device exits SOA protect mode, discharges quickly (approximately 40 µA) to approximately 0.16 V, and then decays slowly (approximately 1.4 µA) towards zero.
CCT can be chosen for fault-free startup including expected CLOAD and CCT capacitance tolerance as shown in Equation 7.
