Team,
I am trying to make sure that I understand the 22A fault protection. We show the 22A in a figure, but the times are not defined on the figure. I am planning on using this part for a power switch board.
In looking at the data sheet, it looks like the 22A fault protection during a fault, holds at 22A for 15 to 35uSec, turns off for 61 to 158 uSec and then tries to turn on again? I am I right? Also when the TPS7H2201-SP comes up again does it ramp up with the slew rate it is set at?
What I want to do is to keep the 22A fast trip capability and set up the switch with out the caps needed for the timers. I would like the switch to current limit and stay there, until the short is removed and then when the short is removed it goes back to normal load current. Is this possible? What do I need to do with pins 9 and 11? Do I ground them?
See pin 11 below, if I ground pin 11: I disable both the ILTIMER and the RTIMER? So, then the short circuit current would current limit and stay there, until the short disappeared? What do I do with pin 9? It appears, I ground pin 9. It talks about the need to then cycle the EN pin. Could this possibly interfere with initial turn on of the switch? Turn on due to the input powering up or the chip receiving an EN signal?
One other thought, I could just make the ILTIMER period long and if nothing happens have the switch turn off? How long can I make ILTIMER? If I did this and grounded pin 9 and ILTIMER timed out would the chip be disabled, and need an EN signal to bring it back online?
