PRODUCTION DATA.
The timer determines how long the hot swap can be in current limit before timing out and can be programmed using CTMR. In general a longer time out (TTO) improves ability to ride through voltage steps, brown outs, and other transients. However, a larger setting can also expose the MOSFET to more stress, because it takes longer for the FET to shut down during fault conditions. If there are no specific voltage step or transient requirements, 2 ms is a good starting point. Use the equation below to compute the target CTMR. Choose the next available capacitor value of 15 nF, which results in a 2.25 ms time out.
