Power-up and soft-start
If the input voltage rises up to the device start threshold V
begins to grow due to the I
startup circuit. If the V
MOSFET starts switching and the HV current generator is turned off (see
The IC is powered by the energy stored in the capacitor on the V
supply circuit (typically an auxiliary winding of the transformer and a steering diode)
develops a voltage high enough to sustain the operation.
The C
needed voltage value higher than the V
could terminate the switching operation before the controller receives any energy from the
auxiliary winding.
The following formula can be used for the V
Equation 1
The t
estimated by the applicator according to the output stage configurations (transformer, output
capacitances, etc.).
During the converter startup time, the drain current limitation is progressively increased to
the maximum value. In this way the stress on the secondary diode is considerably reduced.
It also helps to prevent transformer saturation. The soft-start time lasts 8.5 ms and the
feature is implemented for every attempt of the startup converter or after a fault.
