In this application the SR_UVLO pin is used to monitored the input voltage supply of 12V and enable the device when the desired voltage is reach.
The IC is enabled when the rail voltage is greater than 10.26V (or 85.5% of the nominal voltage, typically). The falling voltage is not controlled as the hystersis voltage on the SR_UVLO is internally controlled. However is calculated to be 8.55V (or 71.2% of the nominal voltage, typically). As the TPS7H3024 has an internal time constant (tStart_up_delay) of 2.8ms (max), a delay capacitor of 3.3μF is added to SR_UVLO pin. This capacitor is added to introduce a delay in the SR_UVLO pin when VIN is rising. This capacitor adds a second condition to start the sequence up, if VIN ≥ 10.26V (typ) for at least 2.8ms then the IC is enabled.
Fixing the upper resistor for the resistive divider in SR_UVLO, we can calculate the bottom resistor per our design requirements. The upper resistor is fixed to 10kΩ. Using the equation in Equation 1 the bottom resistor is calculated as:
Now that the reference resistor is calculated, we can select the actual (or real) resistor. In this case a 0.1% tolerance resistor is used to select the closest value (in this specific case the reference and real resistor is the same)
With the actual resistor values, we can back-calculate the rising and falling voltages that enables and disables the supervisor, respectively. Using Equation 3 and Equation 4 as:
The delay capacitor is calculated using Equation 7, Equation 8 and Equation 6 as:
The delay capacitor is selected as 3.3μF.
