TPL5010: Using a longer timeperiod than specified by the datasheet

Part Number: TPL5010


Hi

I would like to know the possibilities of using the TPL5010 for a time period of 24Hr instead of the 2Hr specified by the datasheet. I have calculated the resistance to be 542kOhm. What would happen if I were to use the calculated resistance? Is it possible? 

Are there other solutions in your product catalogue that will achieve the same while using the same amount of power?

  • Dear Thomas,

    Thank you for your interest in this device.

    I do not have a detailed description of the timer functionality so I can not calculate what will happen outside the specified range. I suspect you will be able to get longer delay than 2hr but not to 24hr (12x) I think. You can see there are 1650 step to get to 2hr so likely the counter can get to 2047 (2^11-1)...

    I do not see other device with a longer time delay.

    Regards, Simon.
