TIMER LIMITS
TON_DELAY, TON_RISE, TON_MAX_FAULT_LIMIT and TOFF_DELAY
These commands share the same format and provide sequencing and timer fault and warning delays in ms.
TON_DELAY sets the amount of time in milliseconds that a channel waits following the start of an ON sequence before 
its V
OUT_EN
 pin enables a DC/DC converter. This delay is counted using SHARE_CLK only.
TON_RISE sets the amount of time in ms that elapses after the power supply has been enabled until the LTC2977’s 
DAC soft-connects and servos the output voltage to the desired level if Mfr_config_dac_mode = 00b. This delay is 
counted using SHARE_CLK if available, otherwise the internal oscillator is used.
TON_MAX_FAULT_LIMIT is the maximum amount of time that the power supply being controlled by the LTC2977 
can attempt to power up the output without reaching the VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT. If the output reaches VOUT_UV_
FAULT_LIMIT prior to TON_MAX_FAULT_LIMIT, the LTC2977 unmasks the VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT threshold. If it 
does not, then a TON_MAX_FAULT is declared. (Note that a value of zero means there is no limit to how long the power 
supply can attempt to bring up its output voltage.) This delay is counted using SHARE_CLK if available, otherwise the 
internal oscillator is used.
TOFF_DELAY is the amount of time that elapses after the CONTROLn pin and/or OPERATION command is deasserted 
until the channel is disabled (soft-off). This delay is counted using SHARE_CLK if available, otherwise the internal 
oscillator is used.
TON_DELAY and TOFF_DELAY are internally limited to 13.1 seconds, and rounded to the nearest 10µs when smaller 
than 655ms, or rounded to the nearest 200µs when larger than 655ms. TON_RISE and TON_MAX_FAULT_LIMIT are 
internally limited to 655ms, and rounded to the nearest 10µs. The read value of these commands always returns what 
was last written and does not reflect internal limiting.
