7.3.12 Soft Start and Recovery from Dropout

When designing with the TPSM336x5, slow rise in output voltage due to recovery from dropout and soft start must be considered as a two separate operating conditions, as shown in Figure 7-11 and Figure 7-12. 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 power module takes the following actions:

  • The reference used in the power module to regulate the 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 allows start-up without pulling the output low. This is true even when there is a voltage already present at the output during a pre-bias start-up.
