PRODUCTION DATA
When the load draws current during the turnon sequence, additional power is dissipated in the device. Considering a resistive load RL(SU) during start-up, typical ramp-up of output voltage, load current and the instantaneous power dissipation in the device are shown in Figure 10-4. Instantaneous power dissipation with respect to time is plotted in Figure 10-5. The additional power dissipation during start-up is calculated using Equation 16.
VIN = 24 V CdVdT = 2.2 μF |
RL(SU) = 48 Ω COUT = 2.2 mF |
VIN = 24 V CdVdT = 2.2 μF |
RL(SU) = 48 Ω COUT = 2.2 mF |
Total power dissipated in the device during start-up is given by Equation 17.
Total current during start-up is given by Equation 18.
For the design example under discussion,
Select the inrush current I(INRUSH) = 0.1 A and calculate tdVdT using Equation 19.
For a given start-up time, CdVdT capacitance value is calculated using Equation 20.
where
Choose the closest standard value: 2.2-μF/16-V capacitor.
The inrush power dissipation is calculated, using Equation 21.
where
Considering the start-up with 48-Ω load, the additional power dissipation, is calculated using Equation 22.
where
The total device power dissipation during start-up is given by Equation 23.
where
The power dissipation with or without load, for a selected start-up time must not exceed the thermal shutdown limits as shown in Figure 10-6 .
From the thermal shutdown limit graph, at TA = 85°C, thermal shutdown time for 3.2 W is close to 28000 ms. It is safe to have a minimum 30% margin to allow for variation of the system parameters such as load, component tolerance, input voltage and layout. Selected 2.2-μF CdVdT capacitor and 528-ms start-up time (tdVdT) are within limit for successful start-up with 48-Ω load.
Higher value C(dVdT) capacitor can be selected to further reduce the power dissipation during start-up.
