PRODUCTION DATA
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 1.225 V reference. In normal operation, when the output voltage is in regulation, an on-time period is initiated when the voltage at FB falls below 1.225 V. The high side switch will stay on for the on-time, causing the FB voltage to rise above 1.225 V. After the on-time period, the high side switch will stay off until the FB voltage again falls below 1.225 V. During start-up, the FB voltage will be below 1.225 V at the end of each on-time, causing the high side switch to turn on immediately after the minimum forced off-time of 144 ns. The high side switch can be turned off before the on-time is over if the peak current in the inductor reaches the current limit threshold.
