LM61460: About PG deglitch time

Part Number: LM61460
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMR33630,

Hi,

I am confused why 6A LM61460 PG deglitch time is much lower than LMR33630's PG deglitch time? And why LM61460's rising deglitch time is much higher than LMR33630? Any consideration? I do not think it has effect to actual power up or reset. Thanks!

LMR33630 both 60-170us for PG rising and falling

  • Hello,

    I don't think this has any impact to power up or reset. The LM61460 has the below PGOOD timing diagram. The T_PGDFLT(rise) is longer just to ensure that the output voltage is regulated and steady for some time. Then the PGOOD flag will pull high to indicate it is in regulation.

    This was something that design wanted to implement in this IC but it doesn't look like this long delay was implemented in the LMR33630. 

    Note that the Power-Good-Timing Behavior for LMR33630 is  when the output voltage has reached 95% of Vout and PG pulls up immediately. 

    Perhaps the question here is whether you want an IC that has PG pull up when VOUT reaches 95% of regulation point, or an IC that has PG pull up when VOUT is regulated to the final Vout point.
