Instruction Manual

MAX5945
Use the program registers (Table 29) to set the nominal
value for t
FAULT
and t
START
for all ports according to
the following formula:
t
FAULT
nominal = 40.96ms + 2.72ms x N
t
START
nominal = 40.96ms + 2.72ms x N
where N is the decimal value of TF_PR[3:0] or
TS_PR[3:0], respectively.
A reset sets R28h = 77h, which sets t
FAULT
= t
START
=
60ms as shown in the Electrical Characteristics. Use
R28h in conjunction with the two TSTART and TFAULT
bits in register R16h to program the values of t
FAULT
and t
START
from about 20ms to almost 330ms with a
2.72ms resolution.
Example: Set TF_PR[3:0] = 1111b, TFAULT[1:0] = 11b
Then:
t
FAULT
= 4 x t
FAULT
nominal
= 4 x (40.96ms + 2.72ms x 15)
= 327ms
Note: The programmed value has the same percent-
age tolerance as the value specified in the Electrical
Characteristics.
