ZHCSFY8B January 2017 – September 2021 TPS3850-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS3850-Q1 features three options for setting the reset delay: connecting a capacitor to the CRST pin, connecting a pullup resistor, and leaving the CRST pin unconnected. If the CRST pin is either unconnected or pulled up the minimum timing requirement cannot be met, thus an external capacitor must be connected to the CRST pin. Because a minimum time is required, the worst-case scenario is a supervisor with a high CRST charging current (ICRST) and a low CRST comparator threshold (VCRST). For applications with ambient temperatures ranging from –40°C to +125°C, CCRST can be calculated using ICRST(MAX), VCRST(MIN), and solving for CCRST in Equation 11:
When solving Equation 11, the minimum capacitance required at the CRST pin is 0.086 μF. If standard capacitors with ±10% tolerances are used, then the minimum CRST capacitor required can be found in Equation 12:
Solving Equation 12 where Ctolerance is 0.1 or 10%, the minimum CCRST capacitor is 0.096 μF. This value is then rounded up to the nearest standard capacitor value, so a 0.1-μF capacitor must be used to achieve this reset delay timing. If voltage and temperature derating are being considered, then also include these values in Ctolerance.
