7.4.5 nSLEEP Reset Pulse (HW Variant, LATCHED setting Only)

This is a special communication signal from the controller to the device through the nSLEEP pin available only for the HW variant. This is used to:

  • Acknowledge the nFAULT asserted during the SLEEP/ Power up transition to STANDBY state
  • Clear a latched fault when the fault reaction is configured to the LATCHED setting, without forcing the device into SLEEP or affecting any of the other functions (Equivalent to the CLR_FAULT command in the SPI variant)
This pulse on nSLEEP must be greater than the nSLEEP deglitch time of tRESET time, but shorter than tSLEEP time, as shown in case # 3, in Table 7-13 below.
