This provides additional protection against cross-conduction of the SR FET while the primary is switching.

The maximum frequency of secondary- cycle requests is limited by a minimum cycle off-time of t . This Wait and Listen OFF(MIN) is in order to ensure that there is sufficient reset time after primary When the primary resumes switching after initial power-up recovery conduction to deliver energy to the load. from an input line voltage fault (UV or OV) or an auto-restart event, it will assume control and require a successful handshake to relinquish Maximum Switching Frequency control to the secondary control er. The maximum switch-request frequency of the secondary control er is f . As an additional safety measure the primary will pause for an SREQ auto-restart on-time period, t (~82 ms), before switching. During Internal uVCC Generation, Bus Switch Driver and Discharge AR this “wait” time, the primary will “listen” for secondary requests. If it The internal LDO generates 3.6 V uVCC for MCU which simplifies the sees two consecutive secondary requests, separated by ~30 ms, the system design. InnoSwitch5-Pro also has an internal driver that primary will infer secondary control and begin switching in slave guarantees turn-on of an n-channel FET series bus switch with mode. If no pulses occurs during the t “wait” period, the primary source voltage as high as 30 V. The VB/D pin which enables the bus AR will begin switching under primary control until handshake pulses are switch is also configurable as the discharge path for the load. received.
