FAULT/TXE

Fault Detect output and Transmitter Enable input

bidirectional pin.

This pin is an open-drain output. Its state is defined as

shown in Table 1-2. The transmitter driver is disabled

whenever this pin is low (‘0’), either from an internal

fault condition or by external drive. This allows the

transmitter to be placed in an off state and still allow the

voltage regulator to operate. Refer to Table 1-1.

The FAULT/TXE also signals a mismatch between the

TXD input and the LBUS level. This can be used to

detect a bus contention. Since the bus exhibits a

propagation delay, the sampling of the internal

compare is debounced to eliminate false faults.

This

has

pull-up

resistor

approximately 750 k

Ω.

The FAULT/TXE pin sampled at a rate faster than every

10 µs.

1.5.9

RESET

RESET is an open-drain output pin. This pin tracks an

internal signal that tracks the internal system voltage

has reached a valid, stable level. As long as the internal

voltage is valid, this pin will remain high (‘1’). When the

system voltage drops below the minimum required, the

voltage regulator will shut down and immediately

convert the RESET output to (‘0’). When connected to

a micro-controller input, this can provide a warning that

the voltage regulator is shutting down (see Example 1-

2). Alternately, it can act as an external brown-out by

connecting

the

RESET

output

MCLR

(see

Example 1-3). In addition to monitoring the internal

voltage, RESET is asserted immediately upon entering

the Powerdown mode.

Note 1: The FAULT/TXE pin is true (0) whenever

the internal circuits have detected a short

or thermal excursion and have disabled

the LBUS output driver.

2: FAULT/TXE is true (0) when VREG not OK

and has disabled the LBUS output driver.

Note 1:

The FAULT/TXE is valid after approximately 25 µs after TXD falling edge. This is to eliminate false fault

reporting during bus propagation delays.
