SLVSFL4 June 2020 TPS2124
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS2124 will automatically select the first source to become valid (INx >UV and INx <OV). The external capacitor (CSS) will then be used as a timer to wait for the input to finish setting (tSETx). When the settling timer has expired, CSS will continue to charge and set the output slew rate (SRON) for a soft start. After the total turn on time (tONx), soft start will not be used again for INx until it ceases to be valid (INx <UV or INx >OV).
When the second source becomes valid (INy >UV and INy <OV), the external capacitor (CSS) will be used again for a second settling time (tSETy). After tSETy, the TPS2124 will decide whether to continue sourcing the first source, or switchover to the second source. If the second source is selected at the end of tSETy, then CSS will be reused to set the output slew rate (SRON) for a second soft start. After the total turn on time (tONy), soft start will not be used again for INy until it ceases to be valid (INy <UV or INy >OV).
If INy becomes valid before the end of tONx, tSETy will be delayed and start after tONx has ended.
If INy is not selected during tSETy, a second soft start will not take place, skipping tONy, and CSS will be retired until one of the inputs ceases to be valid.
