PRODUCTION DATA
The regulators can be enabled when the device is in STANDBY or ACTIVE state. There are two ways to enable and disable the buck regulators:
Similarly, there are two ways to enable and disable the LDO regulators:
If the EN control pin is used for enable and disable, then the following occurs:
The control of the regulator (with 0-ms delays) is shown in Table 7-3.
| BUCKx_EN AND LDOx_EN | BUCKx_EN_PIN_CTRL AND LDOx_EN_PIN_CTRL | EN PIN | BUCKx OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND LDOx OUTPUT VOLTAGE | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enable and disable control with the BUCKx_EN and the LDOx_EN bit | 0 | Don't Care | Don't Care | Disabled |
| 1 | 0 | Don't Care | BUCKx_VSET[7:0] and LDOx_VSET[4:0] | |
| Enable and disable control with the EN pin | 1 | 1 | Low | Disabled |
| 1 | 1 | High | BUCKx_VSET[7:0] and LDOx_VSET[4:0] |
The buck regulator is enabled by the EN pin or by I2C writing as shown in Figure 7-4. The soft-start circuit limits the in-rush current during start-up. When the output voltage rises to a 0.35-V level, the output voltage becomes slew-rate controlled. If there is a short circuit at the output, and the output voltage does not increase above the 0.35-V level in 1 ms or the output voltage drops below 0.35-V level during operation (for minimum of 1 ms), then the regulator is disabled, and the BUCKx_SC_INT interrupt in the INT_BUCK register is set. When the output voltage reaches the Power-Good threshold level, the BUCKx_PG_INT interrupt flag in the INT_BUCK register is set. The Power-Good interrupt flag, when reaching valid output voltage, can be masked using the BUCKx_PGR_MASK bit in the BUCK_MASK register. The Power-Good interrupt flag can also be generated when the output voltage becomes invalid. The interrupt mask for invalid output voltage detection is set by the BUCKx_PGF_MASK bit in the BUCK_MASK register. A BUCKx_PG_STAT bit in the BUCK_STAT register always shows the validity of the output voltage; 1 means valid and 0 means invalid output voltage. A PGOOD_WINDOW_BUCK bit in the PGOOD_CTRL_1 register sets the detection method for the valid buck output voltage, either undervoltage detection or undervoltage and overvoltage detection.
Figure 7-4 Buck Regulator Enable and DisableThe LDO regulator is enabled by the EN pin or by I2C writing, as shown in Figure 7-5. The soft-start circuit limits the in-rush current during start-up. The output voltage increase rate is less than 100 mV/μsec during soft-start. If there is a short circuit at the output, and the output voltage does not increase above the 0.3-V level in 1 ms or the output voltage drops below 0.3-V level during operation (for minimum of 1 ms), then the regulator is disabled, and the LDOx_SC_INT interrupt in the INT_LDO register is set. When the output voltage reaches the Power-Good threshold level, the LDOx_PG_INT interrupt flag in the INT_LDO register is set. The Power-Good interrupt flag, when reaching valid output voltage, can be masked using the LDOx_PGR_MASK bit in the LDO_MASK register. The Power-Good interrupt flag can also be generated when the output voltage becomes invalid. The interrupt mask for invalid output voltage detection is set by the LDOx_PGF_MASK bit in the LDO_MASK register. A LDOx_PG_STAT bit in the LDO_STAT register always shows the validity of the output voltage; 1 means valid, and 0 means invalid output voltage. A PGOOD_WINDOW_LDO bit in the PGOOD_CTRL_1 register sets the detection method for the valid LDO output voltage, either undervoltage detection or undervoltage and overvoltage detection.
Figure 7-5 LDO Regulator Enable and DisableThe EN input pin has an integrated pulldown resistor. The pulldown resistor is controlled with the EN_PD bit in the CONFIG register.
