If the user changes the output voltage setpoint while the device is operating, the device ramps up or down to the new voltage setting in a controlled way.
The VRAMP[1:0] bits in the CONTROL1 register set the slew rate when the device ramps from one voltage to another during DVS (see Table 7-4). The ramp rate is independent of the setting of the VRANGE[1:0] bits.
| VRAMP[1:0] | DVS SLEW RATE |
|---|---|
| 0b00 (default) | 10mV/μs |
| 0b01 | 5mV/μs |
| 0b10 | 1.25mV/μs |
| 0b11 | 0.5mV/μs |
If the MODE/SYNC pin is low and FPWMEN = 0, the slew rate can be less at low output currents because the device does not actively transfer energy back from the output capacitor to the input. At higher load currents the device controls the slew rate by transferring energy to the output.
Note that ramping the output to a higher voltage requires additional output current, so that during DVS the converter must generate a total output current given by:
where:
For correct operation, make sure that the total output current during DVS does not exceed the rated current of the device.
