The LP8733xx-Q1 device supports start-up and shutdown sequencing with programmable delays for different regulator outputs using a single EN control signal. The Buck regulator is selected for delayed control with:
- The BUCKx_EN = 1 in the BUCKx_CTRL_1 register
- The BUCKx_EN_PIN_CTRL = 1 in the BUCKx_CTRL_1 register
- The BUCKx_VSET[7:0] bits in the BUCKx_VOUT register defines the voltage when the EN pin is high
- The delay from the rising edge of the EN pin to the regulator enable is set by the BUCKx_STARTUP_DELAY[3:0] bits in the BUCKx_DELAY register.
- The delay from the falling edge of the EN pin to the regulator disable is set by the BUCKx_SHUTDOWN_DELAY[3:0] bits in the BUCKx_DELAY register.
In the same way, the LDO regulator is selected for delayed control with:
- The LDOx_EN = 1 in the LDOx_CTRL register
- The LDOx_EN_PIN_CTRL = 1 in the LDOx_CTRL register
- The LDOx_VSET[4:0] bits in the LDOx_VOUT register defines the voltage when the EN pin is high
- The delay from the rising edge of the EN pin to the regulator enable is set by the LDOx_STARTUP_DELAY[3:0] bits in the LDOx_DELAY register.
- The delay from the falling edge of the EN pin to the regulator disable is set by the LDOx_SHUTDOWN_DELAY[3:0] bits in the LDOx_DELAY register.
The GPO and GPO2 digital output signals can be also controlled as a part of start-up and shutdown sequencing with the following settings:
- GPOx_EN = 1 in GPO_CTRL register
- GPOx_EN_PIN_CTRL = 1 in GPO_CTRL register
- The delay from the rising edge of the EN pin to the rising edge of the GPO or GPO2 signal is set by the GPOx_STARTUP_DELAY[3:0] bits in the GPOx_DELAY register.
- The delay from the falling edge of the EN pin to the falling edge of the GPO or GPO2 signal is set by the GPOx_SHUTDOWN_DELAY[3:0] bits in the GPOx_DELAY register.
An example of the start-up and shutdown sequences for the buck regulators are shown in Figure 7-9. The start-up and shutdown delays for the Buck0 regulator are 1 ms and 4 ms, and for the Buck1 regulator the start-up and shutdown delays are 3 ms and 1 ms. The delay settings are only used for enable or disable control with the EN signal.
