ADVANCE INFORMATION
In this application the UP and DOWN pins are used to monitored the input voltage supply of 12V. A sequence up is started when the rail voltage is greater than 10.7 (typ) and down when the voltage is lower than 6V (typ). As the TPS7H3014 has an internal time constant (tStart_up_delay) of 2.8ms (max), a delay capacitor of 3.3μF is added to UP pin. This capacitor is added to introduce a delay in the UP pin when VIN is rising. This capacitor adds a second condition to start the sequence up, if VIN ≥ 10.7V (typ) for at least 2.8ms then the sequence up is commanded.
Fixing the upper resistor for the resistive divider in UP and DOWN, we can calculate the bottom resistor per our design requirements. The upper resistor is fixed to 10kΩ for both cases. Using the equations in Equation 17 and Equation 18, the bottom resistors for up and down are calculated as:
Now that the reference resistors are calculated, we can select the actual (or real) resistors. In this case 0.1% tolerance resistors are used to select the closest value as:
With the actual resistor values, we can back-calculate the nominal voltage to start the sequence up and down using Equation 19 and Equation 20 as:
The delay capacitor is calculated using Equation 21, Equation 22, and Equation 23 as:
The delay capacitor is selected as 3.3μF.
