SMPS is disabled by EN_SW. Note that the PGOOD pin is
valid providing LDO5 is high enough to maintain the
internal logic state.
Overvoltage Protection
When SMPS output voltage is above 115% (typ) the
preset nominal regulation voltage for 16 consecutive
internal clock cycles, the SMPS output will be latch off and
it can be restarted by toggling EN_SW or LDO5.
Undervoltage Protection
When SMPS output falls below 65% (typ) of the nominal
regulation voltage for 16 consecutive internal clock cycles,
the undervoltage fault is set, the SMPS is latched off.
Cycling EN_SW or LDO5 can reset the undervoltage fault
latch and restart the controller.
Soft-Start
The switcher V
OUT
soft-start feature is incorporated in
the device to prevent surge current from power supply and
output voltage overshot during power up. When EN_SW,
LDO5 rises above their respective upper threshold voltages,
the external soft start capacitor C
ss
is charged by a constant
current source I
ss
. When the soft-start voltage reaches the
V
ref
voltage, the soft start process is finished. The soft-start
time Tss can be programmed by the soft-start capacitor
according to the following equation: T
ss
[ (0.8 x C
ss
) / I
ss
.
