Hi,
I am using the hot-swap controller ADM10710-1 as a load switch.
This means that power is always present at the input and I control the output by the ON signal.
After a power cycle I get the expected behaviour of the timer delay at startup as described below:
The capacitor at the TIMER pin has a relation to the startup delay just as described in the datasheet.
Now when I turn off the output by setting the ON pin low, and after a while turn it on again (ON pin high) there is no delay anymore.
The output turns on immediately after the ON signal went high. Step 2-3-4 seems to be skipped.
During the time the output was turned off (ON pin low) the output was also discharged down to 0V.
The voltage at the timer pin never rises during such a start-up.
From the datasheet I can not see this behaviour being described. Or is this what the "Initial Cycle" means? "Initial" as only after a power cycle?
If so, is there any way to use the component as a load switch with the Timer delay at any upstart (ON pin rising edge) even without power cycle of the input voltage?
