If the EN1 and RDY1 are initiated in normal operation, then nPOR is asserted and deasserted as explained
above.
In Case 1, we see that case where EN2 and RDY2 are initiated after triggered programmable delay. To prevent
the nPOR being asserted again, a masked window ( 5ms ) counter delay is triggered off the EN2 rising edge.
nPOR is still held HIGH for the duration of the mask, whereupon the nPOR status afterwards will depend on the
status of both RDY1 and RDY2 lines.
In Case 2, we see the case where EN2 is initiated after the RDY1 triggered programmable delay, but RDY2
never goes HIGH (Buck2 never turns on). Normal operation operation of nPOR occurs wilth respect to EN1 and
RDY1, and the nPOR signal is held HIGH for the duration of the mask window. We see that nPOR goes LOW
after the masking window has timed out because it is now dependent on RDY1 and RDY2, where RDY2 is LOW.
