SNVSCE6A October 2023 – May 2024 TPS3762-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
SENSE time delay (tCTS) occurs when the RESET is transitioning from a non-fault state (VOH) to a fault state (VOL). The time delay (tCTS) can be programmed by connecting a capacitor between CTS pin and GND.
The relationship between external capacitor CCTS_EXT (typ) and the time delay tCTS (typ) is given by Equation 4.
RCTS (typ) = is in mega ohms (MΩ)
CCTS_EXT (typ) = is given in microfarads (μF)
tCTS (typ) = is the sense time delay/delays
The sense delay varies according to three variables: the external capacitor (CCTS_EXT), CTS pin internal resistance (RCTS) provided in Section 7.5, and the constant ( tCTS (no cap)) provided in Section 7.6. The minimum and maximum variance due to the constant is show in Equation 5 and Equation 6:
The recommended maximum sense delay capacitor for the TPS3762-Q1 is 10μF as this makes sure there is enough time for the capacitor to fully discharge when a voltage fault occurs. Also, having a too large of a capacitor value can cause very slow charge up (rise times) and system noise can cause the internal circuit to trip unpredictably. This leads to a variation in time delay where the delay accuracy can be worse in the presence of system noise.
* Leakages on the capacitor can effect accuracy of sense time delay.
