8.3.5 Start-Up

When the voltage on the VIN pin exceeds the positive-going UVLO threshold, the device initializes as follows:

  • The device pulls the EN pin low.
  • The device enables the internal reference voltage.
  • The device reads the state of the VSEL, FSEL and SYNC_OUT pins.
  • The device loads the default values into the device registers.

When initialization is complete, the device enables I2C communication and releases the EN pin. The external circuitry controlling the EN pin now determines the behavior of the device:

  • If the EN pin is low, the device is disabled: write to and read from the device registers, but the DC/DC converter does not operate.
  • If the EN pin is high, the device is enabled: write to and read from the device registers and, after a short delay from EN pin going high, the DC/DC converter starts to ramp up the output.

Figure 8-7 shows the start-up sequence when the EN pin is pulled up to VIN.

Figure 8-8 shows the start-up sequence when an external signal is connected to the EN pin.

The SSTIME[1:0] bits in the CONTROL2 register select the duration of the soft-start ramp:

  • td(RAMP) = 500μs
  • td(RAMP) = 770μs
  • td(RAMP) = 1ms (default)
  • td(RAMP) = 2ms

If you program new output voltage setpoint (VOUT[7:0]), output voltage range (VRANGE[1:0]), or soft-start time (SSTIME[1:0]) settings when the device has already begun the soft-start sequence, the device ignores the new values until the soft-start sequence is complete. For example, if you change the value of VSET[7:0] during soft-start, the device first ramps to the value that VSET[7:0] had when the soft-start sequence began and then, when soft-start is complete, ramps up or down to the new value.

The device can start up into a prebiased output. In this case, only a portion of the internal voltage ramp is seen externally (see Figure 8-9).

Note that the device always operates in DCM/PFM allowed during the start-up ramp, regardless of other configuration settings or operating conditions.
