7.3.7 Soft Start

The soft-start feature helps the regulator to gradually reach the steady state operating point, thus reducing start-up stresses and surges. The LM5122ZA regulates the FB pin to the SS pin voltage or the internal 1.2-V reference, whichever is lower. The internal 10-μA soft-start current source gradually increases the voltage on an external soft-start capacitor connected to the SS pin. This results in a gradual rise of the output voltage starting from the input voltage level to the target output voltage. Soft-start time (tSS) which varies by the input supply voltage is calculated from Equation 11.

Equation 11. LM5122ZA eq14_nvs954.gif

When the UVLO pin voltage is greater than the 1.2-V UVLO threshold and VCC voltage exceeds the VCC UV threshold, an internal 10-μA soft-start current source turns on. At the beginning of this soft-start sequence, allow VSS to fall down below 25 mV using the internal SS pulldown switch. The SS pin can be pulled down by external switch to stop switching, but pulling up to enable switching is not allowed. The start-up delay (see Figure 22) must be long enough for high-side boot capacitor to be fully charged up by internal BST charge pump.

The value of CSS must be large enough to charge the output capacitor during soft-start time.
