current transient. The overshoot during a high to low
load current transient is reduced by subtracting the volt-
age that is on the DROOP pin from VREF. The voltage on
the IO pin is divided down with an external resistor di-
vider, and connected to the DROOP pin.
loaded conditions, VOUT is regulated to:
Inhibit
The inhibit pin is a TTL compatible digital pin that is used
to enable the controller. When INH is low, the output
drivers are low, the soft start capacitor is discharged,
the soft start current source is disabled, and the control-
ler is in a low I
across the soft start capacitor is removed, the soft start
current source is enabled, and normal converter opera-
tion begins. When the system logic supply is connected
to INH, it controls power sequencing by locking out con-
troller operation until the system logic supply exceeds
the input threshold voltage of the INH circuit; thus the
+12V supply and the system logic supply (either +5V or
3.3V) must be above UVLO thresholds before the con-
troller is allowed to start up.
VIN
The VIN undervoltage lockout circuit disables the con-
troller while the +12V supply is below the 10V start
threshold during power-up. While the controller is dis-
abled, the output drivers will be low, the soft start ca-
pacitor will be shorted and the soft start current is dis-
abled and the controller will be in a low I
VIN exceeds the start threshold, the short across the
soft start capacitor is removed, the soft start current
source is enabled and normal converter operation be-
gins. There is a 2V hysteresis in the undervoltage lock-
out circuit for noise immunity.
Soft Start
The soft start circuit controls the rate at which VOUT pow-
ers up. A capacitor is connected between SS and AGND
and is charged by an internal current source. The value
of the current source is proportional to the reference
voltage so the charging rate of C
the reference voltage. By making the charging current

value for all VID settings. The soft start charging current
is determined by the following equation: I
Where I
is recommended that no additional loads be connected
to REFB, other than the resistor divider for setting the
hysteresis voltage. Thus these resistor values will deter-
mine the soft start charging current. The maximum cur-
rent that can be sourced by REFB is 500µA.
Power Good
The power good circuit monitors for an undervoltage con-
dition on VOUT. If VSENSE is 15% (nominal) below VREF,
then the power good pin is pulled low. The PWRGD pin is
an open drain output.
Overvoltage Protection
The overvoltage protection circuit monitors VOUT for an
overvoltage condition. If VSENSE is 15% above VREF,
than a fault latch is set and both output drivers are turned
off. The latch will remain set until VIN goes below the
undervoltage lockout value. A 1ms deglitch timer is in-
cluded for noise immunity.
Overcurrent Protection
The overcurrent protection circuit monitors the current
through the high side FET. The overcurrent threshold is
adjustable with an external resistor divider between IO
and AGND, with the divider voltage connected to the OCP
pin. If the voltage on the OCP pin exceeds 100mV, then
a fault latch is set and the output drivers are turned off.
The latch will remain set until VIN goes below the
undervoltage lockout value. A 1ms deglitch timer is in-
cluded for noise immunity. The OCP circuit is also de-
signed to protect the high side FET against a short-to-
ground fault on the terminal common to both power FETs
(VPHASE).
Drive Regulator
The drive regulator provides drive voltage to the low side
driver, and to the high side driver when the high side
driver is configured as a floating driver. The minimum
drive voltage is 7V. The minimum short circuit current is
100mA.
