6.1.2 Definition of IC Operation Modes

  • Shutdown Mode: When the UVLO pin is < 1.25V, the LM5171 is in the shutdown mode with all gate drivers in the low state, and all internal logic reset. When UVLO < 1.25V, the device draws < 10μA through each of the HV1, HV2 and VCC pins.
  • Initialization Mode: When the UVLO pin is > 1.5V but < 2.5V, and DT/SD > 0.5V, the LM5171 establishes proper internal logic states, and the LDODRV is turned on to control the external MOSFET to produce the VCC, and LM5171 prepares for circuit operation. Once VCC voltage is >8.5V, VDD and VREF are also established at approximately 5.0V and 3.5V, respectively.
  • Standby Mode: When the UVLO pin is > 2.5V, and VCC > 8.5V, VDD> 4.5V, and DT/SD > 0.5V, the LM5171 is ready to operate. The oscillator is activated and the SYNCO is firing phase-shifted clock signals, but the four gate drive outputs remain off until the EN1 or EN2 initiate the power delivery mode.
  • Power Delivery Mode: When the UVLO pin > 2.5V, VCC > 8.5V, VDD > 4.5V, DT/SD > 0.5V, EN1 or EN2 > 2V, DIR1 and/or DIR2 is valid (> 2V or < 1V), the SS capacitor is released. Once the SS voltage rises above 1V, the LM5171 gate drivers start to switch and start the power delivery.
  • Latch-ed Shutdown mode serves as an emergency shutdown function, and it is achieved by pulling DT/SD pin below 1V for at least 2.5μs by an external circuit during operation. In latched shutdown mode, all gate drivers remain in the low state, and both SS/DEM1 and SS/DEM2 pins are held low. The latch can be reset by pulling the UVLO to below 1.25V for at least 10μs.
