3. Shutdown
Pulling low the OPS pin by a small single transistor can
shutdown the RT9214 PWM controller as shown in typical
application circuit.
Soft Start
A built-in soft-start is used to prevent surge current from
power supply input during power on. The soft-start voltage
is controlled by an internal digital counter. It clamps the
ramping of reference voltage at the input of error amplifier
and the pulse-width of the output driver slowly. The typical
soft-start duration is 3ms.

meets the COMP. During this interval, since the feedback
path is broken, the converter is operated in the open loop.

COMP is observed to keep its decline when it passes the
