This often occurs in many multi-rail applications such as when powering an FPGA, ASIC, or DSP. In these applications the output can be pre-biased through parasitic conduction paths from one supply rail to another. Even though the LM20242 is a synchronous converter, it will not pull the output low when a pre-bias condition exists. During start up the LM20242 will not sink current until the soft-start voltage exceeds the voltage on the FB pin. Since the device cannot sink current, it protects the load from damage that might otherwise occur if current is conducted through the parasitic paths of the load. POWER GOOD AND OVER VOLTAGE FAULT HANDLING The LM20242 has built in under and over voltage comparators that control the power switches. Whenever there is an excursion in output voltage above the set OVP threshold, the part will terminate the present on-pulse, turn- on the low-side FET, and pull the PGOOD pin low. The low-side FET will remain on until either the FB voltage falls back into regulation or the zero cross detection is triggered which in turn tri-states the FETs. If the output reaches the UVP threshold the part will continue switching and the PGOOD pin will be deasserted and go low. Typical values for the PGOOD resistor are on the order of 100 k Ω or less. To avoid false tripping during transient glitches the PGOOD pin has 20 µs of built in deglitch time to both rising and falling edges. UVLO The LM20242 has an internal under-voltage lockout protection circuit that keeps the device from switching until the input voltage reaches 3.9V (typical). The UVLO threshold has 200 mV of hysteresis that keeps the device from responding to power-on glitches during start up. If desired the turn-on point of the supply can be changed by using the precision enable pin and a resistor divider network connected to VIN as shown in Figure 13 in the design guide. THERMAL PROTECTION Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 170°C, the LM20242 tri-states the power FETs and resets soft-start. After the junction cools to approximately 150°C, the part starts up using the normal start up routine. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. LIGHT LOAD OPERATION The LM20242 offers increased efficiency when operating at light loads. Whenever the load current is reduced to a point where the peak to peak inductor ripple current is greater than two times the load current, the part will enter the diode emulation mode preventing significant negative inductor current. The point at which this occurs is the critical conduction boundary and can be calculated by Equation 1: (1) Several diagrams are shown in Figure 8 illustrating continuous conduction mode (CCM), discontinuous conduction mode, and the boundary condition. It can be seen that in diode emulation mode, whenever the inductor current reaches zero the SW node will become high impedance. Ringing will occur on this pin as a result of the LC tank circuit formed by the inductor and the parasitic capacitance. If this ringing is of concern, an additional RC snubber circuit can be added from the switch node to ground. At very light loads, usually below 100 mA, several pulses may be skipped in between switching cycles, effectively reducing the switching frequency and further improving light-load efficiency.
