Startup
the output capacitors to reach voltage regulation. This gives
rise to an excessive in−rush current which can be detrimental
to the inductor, IC and catch diode. In V
compensation capacitor provides Soft−Start with no need
for extra pin or circuitry. During the power up, the Output
Source Current of the error amplifier charges the
compensation capacitor which forces V
voltage ramp up gradually. The Soft−Start duration can be
calculated by

Short Circuit
Threshold, the regulator reduces the peak current limit by
40% and switching frequency to 1/4 of the nominal
frequency. These features are designed to protect the IC and
external components during over load or short circuit
conditions. In those conditions, peak switching current is
clamped to the current limit threshold. The reduced
switching frequency significantly increases the ripple
current, and thus lowers the DC current. The short circuit can
cause the minimum duty cycle to be limited by Minimum
Output Pulse Width. The foldback frequency reduces the

minimum duty cycle by extending the switching cycle. This
protects the IC from overheating, and also limits the power
that can be transferred to the output. The current limit
foldback effectively reduces the current stress on the
inductor and diode. When the output is shorted, the DC
current of the inductor and diode can approach the current
limit threshold. Therefore, reducing the current limit by 40%
can result in an equal percentage drop of the inductor and
diode current. The short circuit waveforms are captured in
Figure 12, and the benefit of the foldback frequency and
current limit is self−evident.
Thermal Considerations
necessary prior to the adoption of the regulator. The current
drawn by the IC includes quiescent current, pre−driver
current, and power switch base current. The quiescent
current drives the low power circuits in the IC, which
include comparators, error amplifier and other logic blocks.
Therefore, this current is independent of the switching
current and generates power equal to
