For example, if the desired insertion delay is 250 ms, C
T
calculates to 0.8 µF. At the end of the insertion delay,
C
T
is quickly discharged by a 2 mA current sink.
B) Fault Timeout Period - During in-rush current limiting or upon detection of a fault condition where the current
limit and/or power limit circuits regulate the current through Q1, the fault timer current source (80 µA) switches on
to charge C
T
. The Fault Timeout Period is the time required for the voltage at the TIMER pin to transition from
ground to 1.72V, at which time Q1 is switched off. If the LM25061-1 is in use, the required capacitor value is
calculated from:
(8)
For example, if the desired Fault Timeout Period is 17 ms, C
T
calculates to 0.8 µF. When the Fault Timeout
Period expires, the LM25061-1 latches the GATE pin low until a power-up sequence is initiated by external
circuitry. If the LM25061-2 is in use, the Fault Timeout Period during restart cycles is approximately 18% shorter
than the initial fault timeout period which initiated the restart cycles since the voltage at the TIMER pin transitions
from 0.3V to 1.72V. Since the Fault Timeout Period must always be longer than the turn-on-time, the required
capacitor value for the LM25061-2 is calculated using this shorter time period:
(9)
For example, if the desired Fault Timeout Period is 17 ms, C
T
calculates to 0.96 µF. When the Fault Timeout
Period of the LM25061-2 expires, a restart sequence starts as described below (Restart Timiing). Since the
LM25061 normally operates in power limit and/or current limit during a power-up sequence, the Fault Timeout
Period MUST be longer than the time required for the output voltage to reach its final value. See the Turn-on
Time section
C) Restart Timing For the LM25061-2, after the Fault Timeout Period described above, C
T
is discharged by the
2.5 µA current sink to 1.0V. The TIMER pin then cycles through seven additional charge/discharge cycles
between 1V and 1.72V as shown in Figure 25. The restart time ends when the TIMER pin voltage reaches 0.3V
during the final high-to-low ramp. The restart time, after the Fault Timeout Period, is equal to:

For example, if C
T
= 0.8 µF, t
RESTART
= 2.12 seconds. At the end of the restart time, Q1 is switched on. If the fault
is still present, the fault timeout and restart sequence repeats. The on-time duty cycle of Q1 is approximately
0.67% in this mode.
UVLO
Programming the UVLO thresholds sets the minimum system voltage to enable the series pass device (Q1). If
V
SYS
is below the UVLO thresholds, Q1 is switched off, denying power to the load. Programmable hysteresis is
provided.
Option A: The UVLO thresholds are set with two resistors (R1, R2) as shown in Figure 31.
