PRODUCTION DATA.
Each time VBOOT ≤ VBOOT-UVLO an internal pull-down (IPD BOOTx = 5 mA typical) from the SWx pin to ground is enabled. This behavior occurs during drop-out conditions such as Full Drop-Out (Boot Capacitor Voltage reaching VBOOT-UVLO). This behavior also occurs at Start-Up if the output is pre-charged.
If the TPS92518-Q1 application uses an output capacitor and the output is disabled and re-enabled before the output voltage reduces (or is otherwise pre-charged) a condition can be created where the SWx pin voltage is not low enough for the BOOT capacitor to charge. (VSWx<< VCC) BOOT-UV is then activated and the internal pull-down circuitry enabled. The pull-down circuitry reduces the time required to deplete the output voltage to allow the BOOT capacitor to be charged. Note that the internal pull-down circuitry can not act as a synchronous FET.
