8.4.2 Initialization State

The initialization state is designed to allow master controller to have enough time to power up before the device automatically gets into fail-safe states. INIT mode has a configurable delay programmed by 4-bit E2PROM register EEP_INITTIMER. Once the delay counter is reached, the device changes to normal state. In INIT state, the communication between master controller and the TPS929121-Q1 is enabled through FlexWIre interface. If the master controller sets CLR_POR to 1, the device immediately switches to normal state. In Initialization state, device automatically load register map default values, which can be programmed by E2PROM. The channel enable register CONF_ENCHx are all 0 to avoid unwanted blinking.
