The device response after a fault varies based on the RETRY_CONFIG register setting. The device latches a fault as per the table above and thereafter follows an auto-retry or latch-off response. For auto-retry configuration, the latched faults also trigger the start of the Auto-Retry Timer, while keeping the FLT pin pulled low. On expiry of the timer period (tRETRY), the FLT pin pull-down is released and the device is ready to restart automatically. When the device turns on again, it follows the usual DVDT limited start-up sequence.

The only exception to this is during Short-circuit fault when the device is configured for fast recovery using the SC_RETRY bit in the DEVICE_CONFIG register. In this case, the device turns off quickly and then automatically turns back on in a current limited manner. This allows the system to try and recover quickly from any transient faults. See Short-Circuit Protection section for more details.

For faults that are latched internally, power cycling the part or pulling the EN/UVLO pin voltage below VSD(F) clears the fault and the FLT pin is de-asserted. This action also clears the Auto-retry timer. Pulling the EN/UVLO just below the UVLO threshold has no impact on the device in this condition. This is true in case of latch-off and auto-retry configurations.

In a parallel eFuse configuration involving TPS1689x and TPS1685x, the fault response is determined by the TPS1689x as the primary device. However, if the primary device fails to register a fault, there is a fail-safe mechanism in the secondary device to take control and turn off the entire chain by pulling the SWEN pin low and enter a latch-off condition. Thereafter, the device can be turned on again only by power cycling VDD below VUVP(F) or by cycling EN/UVLO pin below VSD(F).
