RESTART SEQUENCE AFTER

FAULT AND AUTOMATIC WAKE-UP

PULSE (AWKP) GENERATION

The power-up sequence is also automatically executed

when reacting to severe Fault conditions. Please see

Section 5.5 “Protections” for information on which

Faults may trigger a new restart sequence. In the

default configuration (i.e., HCPEN bit is ‘0’ for the Buck

channels), as soon as a Fault is detected, the power

delivery on all channels is terminated and the

MCP16502 waits for 100 ms. After this wait time, a new

start-up sequence is generated in the attempt to restart

the system correctly.

A special feature is provided to enable system recovery

if there is a restart sequence after a Fault occurs while

in Hibernate mode. In Hibernate mode, the PWRHLD

had been previously set to low by the MPU and the

MPU expects a wake-up event in order to set PWRHLD

to high again. This must be a hardware event, which is

flagged to some I/O inside the MPU Shutdown and

Wake-up Controller (SHDWC) block (e.g., a logic

transition on a WKUPx or PIOBUx pin).

However, if a Fault (e.g., a short circuit on a Buck chan-

nel having HCPEN = 0 and left turned on during Hiber-

nate) causes a restart sequence while in Hibernate

mode, the restart sequence is not successfully com-

pleted until a wake-up event is generated for the MPU

SHDWC, because the PWRHLD remains low. It is nec-

essary for the PWRHLD signal to be high just prior to

the completion of the start-up sequence so that nRSTO

can be deasserted. This is solved by generating from

the MCP16502 an Automatic Wake-up Pulse (AWKP)

on the nSTRTO output if the Fault that generates a

restart sequence has occurred while in Hibernate

mode.

The Automatic Wake-up Pulse generation can be

optionally disabled by the user by setting the AWKPDIS

bit (bit 4) in the SYS-CFG register (0x03). The AWKP

function is enabled by default.

The timing diagram of a restart sequence caused by a

Fault while in Hibernate mode is shown in Figure 4-11.

Just before initiating the restart sequence, the

MCP16502 generates a 25 ms (nominal duration)

Automatic Wake-up Pulse on the nSTRTO output, even

in lack of a low level on the nSTRT input. This is the

only situation where the nSTRTO logic level does not

reflect the nSTRT input status. The duration of the

AWK Pulse erodes into the 100 ms waiting time that

precedes the automatic restart sequence.

PWRHLD will typically return high as soon as the

nSTRTO signal is detected to be low by the MPU

SHDWC. If LPM stays high for any reason, the

MCP16502 will go in Low-Power mode immediately after

the automatic start-up sequence. This behavior is shown

in Figure 2-24 in Section 2.0 “Typical Performance

Curves”.

If the restart sequence after a Fault is executed in any

other operational state but Hibernate, PWRHLD will

either be already high (in applications with backup

power) or it would return high as soon as the VDDIO rail

is started, thus making the generation of the Automatic

Wake-up Pulse not necessary.
