TPS3851-Q1: TPS3851-Q1 maximum time from VPOR to RESET(Low)

Part Number: TPS3851-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS3851

Hello team,

I received the question from the customer  about TPS3851-Q1 RESET.

In the datasheet, ". During startup, the state of RESET is undefined below the specified power-on-reset (POR) voltage (VPOR). Above POR, RESET goes low and remains low,"  The  question is that the maximum time from the undefined status to RESET LOW status as below.
Would you please advise? 

Your advice would be so appreciated.

Best Regards,

  • Tamazaki-San,

    This time depends on the slew rate of your Vdd. Since RESET is undefined below VPOR, the time that it takes for your Vdd to reach VPOR will be the time that the RESET stays undefined.

    Thanks,
    Abhinav.
  • Abhinav-san,

    Thank you for your reply.

    The customer did not ask us the time from start-up to RESET Low controlled by TPS3851. The customer has a question about the time from beyond the VPOR until RESET out controled by TPS3851 become low. Is this also undefined?

  • Hi Tamazaki-San,

    1. VPOR is as a technical specification we define to describe at what VDD voltage (often in the hundred of millivolts)the output, which is currently undefined, will reach a maximum "low" voltage. This technical specification defines the input voltage for this transient condition, though often specified is the maximum "low" output voltage with it.

    2. Once, VPOR is exceeded (and below the device threshold), the output power stage is defined (and low), but the internal logic is not turned on/working. Once the device's Vdd,min specification is reached all of the datasheet specifications can be guaranteed.
  • Marshall-san, Abhinav-san,

    Thank you so much for your comment.
    If the customer has additional question, may I ask you again?
