7.4.2.3 Bootstrap Topology

The internal startup current source (IVC_ST) and control logic implement a bootstrap-type startup as discussed in the Startup and Converter Operation section. The startup current source charges CVC from VDD when the converter is disabled (either by the PD control or the VC control) to store enough energy to start the converter. Steady-state operating power must come from a converter (bias winding) output or other source. Loading on VC and VB must be minimal while CVC charges, otherwise the converter may never start. The optocoupler does not load VB when the converter is off for most situations, however care should be taken in ORing topologies where the output is powered when PoE is off.

The converter shuts off when VC falls below its lower UVLO. This can happen when power is removed from the PD, or during a fault on a converter output rail. When one output is shorted, all the output voltages fall including the one that powers VC. The control circuit discharges VC until it hits the lower UVLO and turns off. A restart is initiated as described in the Startup and Converter Operation section if the converter turns off and there is sufficient VDD voltage. This type of operation is sometimes referred to as hiccup mode which provides robust output short protection by providing time-average heating reduction of the output rectifier.

Below VCUV, the bootstrap control logic disables most of the converter controller circuits except the VB regulator and internal reference. GATE is low when the converter is disabled.

The bootstrap source provides reliable startup from widely varying input voltages, and eliminates the continual power loss of external resistors. The startup current source does not charge above the maximum recommended VVC if the converter is disabled and there is sufficient VDD to charge higher.
