7.6.4 Soft-Start Time

The TPS40425 device supports several soft-start times from 600 μs to 9 ms selected by the TON_RISE PMBus command. See the command description for full details on the levels and implementation. When selecting the soft-start time, ensure that the charging current for the output capacitors is carefully considered. In some applications (for example, those with large amounts of output capacitance) this current can lead to problems with nuisance tripping of the overcurrent protection circuitry. To ensure that these problems do not happen, the output capacitor charging current should be included when considering where to set the overcurrent threshold. The output capacitor charging current can be found using Equation 9:

Equation 9. TPS40425 EQ_9.gif

where

  • ICAP is the startup charging current of the output capacitance in A
  • VOUT is the output voltage of the converter in V
  • COUT is the total output capacitance in F
  • tSS is the selected soft-start time in seconds

With the charging current calculated, the overcurrent threshold can then be calibrated to the sum of the maximum load current and the output capacitor charging current plus some margin. The amount of margin required depends on the individual application, but 25% is a suggested starting point. More or less may be required.

NOTE

For 3-phase and 4-phase configurations, the soft-start time of both controllers must be programmed to the same value.
