TSTART[1,0] (Table 20a) programs the startup timers.
Startup time is the time the port is allowed to be in cur-
rent limit during startup. TFAULT[1,0] programs the
fault time. Fault time is the time allowed for the port to
be in current limit during normal operation. RSTR[1,0]
programs the discharge rate of the TFAULT_ counter
and effectively sets the time the port remains off after
an overcurrent fault. TDISC[1,0] programs the load dis-
connect detection time. The device turns off power to
the port if it fails to provide a minimum power mainte-
nance signal for longer than the load disconnect detec-
tion time (TDISC).
Set the bits in R16h to scale the t
START
, t
FAULT
, and
t
DISC
to a multiple of their nominal value specified in the
Electrical Characteristics table.
When the MAX5965A/MAX5965B shut down a port due
to an extended overcurrent condition (either during
startup or normal operation), if RSTR_EN is set high, the
part does not allow the port to power back on before
the restart timer (Table 20b) returns to zero. This effec-
tively sets a minimum duty cycle that protects the exter-
nal MOSFET from overheating during prolonged output
overcurrent conditions. A reset sets R16h = 00h.
