PRODUCTION DATA
In UCC25661, a new soft start is implemented to control the inrush current at startup. The new scheme helps avoiding any premature soft start termination and establishes smooth transition between soft start and closed loop regulation.
At start-up, internal soft start voltage (SSRamp) ramps up using a defined slope and the FBReplica is high as the output voltage is below the regulation voltage. A pick lower block identifies the two signals and uses the one that is lower of the two to control the turn-off of the power stage switches.
The soft start is exited only after the SSRamp is above a minimum threshold, avoiding any premature soft start exit, as shown in Figure 7-18.
