JAJSUV0 June 2024 LM5171
PRODUCTION DATA
If the SS/DEM pin does not have an external pulldown resistor, or if the external pulldown resistor is large enough, the pin voltage eventually raises above 4V by the SS current source that charges the CSS, and this sets the corresponding channel of the LM5171 to operate in FPWM.
To dynamically change the operating mode between the FPWM and DEM modes, the programming resistor can be switched in and off by controlling the series FET, as shown in Figure 6-10. When the FET is turned on, it sets the channel in DEM. When the FET is turned off, it sets the channel in FPWM. There are 128 switching cycles transition time to gradually change from one mode to the other.
