Fault Conditions: Current Limit and Overcurrent
Foldback
LTM4606 has a current mode controller, which inher-
ently limits the cycle-by-cycle inductor current not only
in steady-state operation, but also in transient.
To further limit current in the event of an overload condi-
tion, the LTM4606 provides foldback current limiting. If the
output voltage falls by more than 50%, then the maximum
output current is progressively lowered to about one sixth
of its full current limit value.
Soft-Start and Tracking
The TRACK/SS pin provides a means to either soft-start
the regulator or track it to a different power supply.

DUTY CYCLE (V
A capacitor on this pin will program the ramp rate of the
output voltage. A 1.5µA current source will charge up the
external soft-start capacitor to 80% of the 0.6V internal
voltage reference plus or minus any margin delta. This will
control the ramp of the internal reference and the output
voltage. The total soft-start time can be calculated as:
When the RUN pin falls below 2.5V, then the SS pin is reset
to allow for proper soft-start control when the regulator is
enabled again. Current foldback and force continuous mode
are disabled during the soft-start process. The soft-start
function can also be used to control the output ramp up
time, so that another regulator can be easily tracked to it.
