In Auto-retry versions (TPS24751), device automatically initiates a restart after a fault has caused it to turnoff the internal FET. Internal control circuits use CT to count 16 cycles before re-enabling the FET as shown in Figure 37. This sequence repeats if the fault persists. The timer has a 1:1 charge-to-discharge current ratio. For the very first cycle, the TIMER pin starts from 0 V and rises to the upper threshold of 1.35 V and subsequently falls to 0.35 V before restarting. For the following 16 cycles, 0.35 V is used as the lower threshold. This small duty cycle often reduces the average short-circuit power dissipation to levels associated with normal operation and eliminates special thermal considerations for surviving a prolonged output short.
