7 / 17 page 7 FN6538.2 December 2, 2008 . From t1, there is a nominal 4ms delay, which allows the VCC pin to rise. At the same time, the LGATE/OCSET pin is initialized by disabling the LGATE driver and drawing IOCSET (nominal 10µA) through ROCSET. This sets up a voltage that will represent the OCSET trip point for the OCP sample and hold operation. The sample and hold uses a digital counter and DAC (to save the voltage so the stored value does not degrade) for as long as the VCC is above VPOR. See “Overcurrent Protection (OCP)” on page 8 for more details on the equations and variables. Upon the completion of sample and hold at t2, the soft-start operation is initiated (around 0.8ms delay to t3), and then around 4ms for the output voltage to ramp up (0% to 100%) between t3 and t4. The PGOOD output is allowed to go high at t4 if VOS (and thus VOUT) is within the PGOOD window. Soft-Start and Pre-Biased Outputs Functionally, the soft-start internally ramps the reference on the non-inverting terminal of the error amp from zero to 0.8V in a nominal 4ms. The output voltage will thus follow the ramp, from zero to final value, in the same 4ms. The ramp is created digitally, so there will be small discrete steps. There is no simple way to change this ramp rate externally, as it is fixed by the 300kHz (or 600kHz) switching frequency (and the ramp and delay time is the same for both frequencies). After an initialization period (t2 to t3), the error amplifier (COMP/EN pin) is enabled, and begins to regulate the converter’s output voltage during soft-start. The oscillator’s triangular waveform is compared to the ramping error amplifier voltage. This generates PHASE pulses of increasing width that charge the output capacitors. When the internally generated soft-start voltage exceeds the reference voltage (0.8V), the soft-start is complete, and the output should be in regulation at the expected voltage. This method provides a rapid and controlled output voltage rise; there is no large in-rush current charging the output capacitors. The entire start-up sequence from POR typically takes 9ms; 5ms for the delay and OCP sample, and 4ms for the soft-start ramp. Figure 3 shows the normal VOUT curve in blue; initialization begins at t0, and the output ramps between t1 and t2. If the output is pre-biased to a voltage less than the expected value (as shown by the magenta curve), the ISL6341x will detect that condition. Neither MOSFET will turn-on until the soft-start ramp voltage exceeds the output; VOUT starts seamlessly ramping from there. There is a restriction for the pre-bias case; if the pre-biased VOUT is greater than VGD, then the boot cap may get discharged, and will not be able to restart. For example, if VIN = 12V, VOUT = 8V and prebiased to 6V, and VGD is only 5V, then the voltage left on the boot cap (to UGATE) will not be able to turn on the upper FET. The simple solution here is to use the 12V for VGD. The guideline is to make VGD - diode - Vth upper FET > VOUT to prevent this condition. If the output is pre-biased to a voltage above the expected value (as in the red curve), neither MOSFET will turn-on until the end of the soft-start, at which time it will pull the output voltage quickly down to the final value. Any resistive load connected to the output will help pull-down the voltage (at the RC rate of the R of the load and the C of the output capacitance). One exception to the overcharged case is if the pre-bias is high enough to trip OV protection (>1V on VOS); then LGATE will pulse to try to pull VOUT lower. The IC will remain latched in this mode until VCC power is toggled. If the VIN to the upper MOSFET drain (or the VGD voltage to the boot diode) is from a different supply that comes up after VCC, the soft-start would start its cycle, but with no output voltage ramp. Once the undervoltage protection is enabled (at the end of the soft-start ramp), the output will latch off. Therefore, for normal operation, VIN (and VGD) must be high enough before or with VCC. If this is not possible, then the alternative is add sequencing logic to the COMP/EN pin to delay the soft-start until the VIN (and VGD) supply is ready (see “Input Voltage Considerations” on page 12).
