7.3.12.1 PWM Behavior During Soft-start Operation

Before a soft-start period, the PWM is in tri-state mode, where both the high-side switch and the low-side switch are off. During the soft-start period, the PWM behavior can be divided into three stages. In stage 1, PWM only switches between high level and tri-state level for prebias startup purpose. The high pulse width increases and tri-stage width decreases gradually. The stage 1 lasts approximately fifteen switching periods. In stage 2, low pulse occurs at the end of each switching period. Low pulse width increases and tri-stage width decreases gradually. The high pulse width in stage 2 adjusts to allow the output voltage rise up smoothly. In stage 3, tri-state level disappears, PWM switches between high level and low level only. High pulse width increases and low pulse width decreases gradually until the PWM duty circle reaches the steady state.

TPS40425 PWM_startup_slusbo6.gifFigure 18. PWM Behavior During Soft-Start Operation

NOTE

The TPS40425 device and MOSFET driver must be fully compatible in order for the MOSFET driver to enter and exit tri-state operation mode correctly,

The TPS28226 MOSFET driver uses an adaptive tri-state window. Set the initial tri-state level of the TPS40425 device to the factory default level of 1.6 V in order to make the TPS28226 enter tri-state mode correctly when the PWM level goes from low to tri-state. In addition, place a 68-pF capacitor between PWM and ground.

The TPS28226 requires PWM to go high and then go low in order to exit tri-state mode. As the TPS40425 PWM switches only between high level and tri-state level during the stage 1 of soft-state, the TPS28226 is not able to exit tri-state mode until low pulse occurs in stage 2. As a result, wide PWM pulses and output voltage glitches may occur at the beginning of the soft-start period.

For existing designs using the TPS40425 and TPS28226 devices, perform a test to evaluate the impact of wide PWM pulses and output voltage glitches on the converter and the load circuit. For a new design, consider using a MOSFET driver which is fully compatible with the TPS40425 device.
