7.3.8 Soft Start and Recovery from Dropout

When designing with the LMQ664x0, consider slow rise in output voltage due to recovery from dropout and soft start as two separate operating conditions, as shown in Figure 7-7 and Figure 7-8. Soft start is triggered by any of the following conditions:

  • Power is applied to the VIN pin of the device, releasing undervoltage lockout.
  • EN is used to turn on the device.
  • Recovery from shutdown due to overtemperature protection

After soft start is triggered, the IC takes the following actions:

  • The reference used by the IC to regulate output voltage is slowly ramped up. The net result is that output voltage, if previously 0 V, takes tSS to reach 90% of the desired value.
  • Operating mode is set to auto mode of operation, activating the diode emulation mode for the low-side MOSFET. This action allows start-up without pulling the output low. This is true even when there is a voltage already present at the output during a prebias start-up.
