9.3.6.4 Dynamic Voltage Scaling

If the user changes the output voltage setpoint while the DC/DC converter is operating, the device ramps up or down to the new voltage setting in a controlled way.

The VRAMP[1:0] bits in the CONTROL1 register sets the slew rate when the device ramps from one voltage to another during DVS (see Table 9-6).

Table 9-6 Dynamic Voltage Scaling Slew Rate
VRAMP[1:0] DVS Slew Rate
0b00 10 mV/μs (0.5 μs/step)
0b01 5 mV/μs (1 μs/step)
0b10 1.25 mV/μs (5 μs/step)
0b11 0.5 mV/μs (10 μs/step)

Note that ramping the output to a higher voltage requires additional output current, so that during DVS, the converter must generate a total output current given by:

Equation 2. GUID-E7C18EB3-1FCC-44BF-9268-46FFEAF7B4F1-low.png

where

  • IOUT is the total current the converter must generate while ramping to a higher voltage.
  • IOUT(DC) is the DC load current.
  • COUT is the total output capacitance.
  • dVOUT/dt is the slew rate of the output voltage (programmable in the range 0.5 mV/µs to 10 mV/µs).

For correct operation, ensure that the total output current during DVS does not exceed the current limit of the device.
