LTC2955 Question

Does the INT pin go low when the pushbutton is pressed for OFF condition then goes high after the TMR runs out and at that time EN is disabled?

I am asking if the INT proceeds the EN shutdown to notify the device of a coming powerdown.

Thanks

  • Yes, INT proceeds the EN pin turning off.

    When the user holds PB# low for the 32ms debounce time, INT goes low, which signals to the µP that a shutdown is coming soon, and that it should take care of any housekeeping tasks. The µP can tell the LTC2955 it is ready by pulling its KILL# pin low, which will cause EN to be pulled low. This speeds up the turn-off process, but is not required: if the LTC2955 never gets a KILL# signal, EN will go low if the user holds PB# low for tDB(OFF)+tINT(OFF)+tTMR.

    See page 9 of the datasheet for more details.
