7.3.4 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 the internal reference voltage
  • The device reads the state of the VSETx 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:
    • The user can write to and read from the device registers
    • The power stage does not operate (high-impedance).
  • If the EN pin is high, the device is enabled:
    • The user can write to and read from the device registers
    • After a short delay, the power stage starts switching
    • The converter ramps up the output voltage
Figure 7-11 shows the start-up sequence when the EN pin is pulled up to VIN through a resistor.

Figure 7-12 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) = 500 μs
  • td(RAMP) = 1 ms (default)
  • td(RAMP) = 2 ms
  • td(RAMP) = 4 ms
The device ignores new values during the soft-start sequence for the following parameters:

  • Output voltage setpoint (VOUT[7:0])
  • Output voltage range (VRANGE[1:0])
  • Soft-start time (SSTIME[1:0])

If the user changes 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. When soft start is complete, the device ramps up or down to the new value.

During start-up, the device does not sink current to make sure that the output voltage follows the configured ramp rate to the target output voltage. With this, 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 7-13).
