ZHCS547K January 2010 – February 2018 LM27402
PRODUCTION DATA.
In certain applications, the output may acquire a pre-bias voltage before the LM27402 is powered on or enabled. Pre-biased conditions are managed by preventing switching until the soft-start (SS/TRACK) voltage exceeds the feedback (FB) voltage. When VSS/TRACK exceeds VFB, the LM27402 begins to switch synchronously and regulate the output voltage.
Prohibiting switching during a pre-biased start-up condition prevents the output from forcing parasitic paths in the system application to conduct excessive current. The LM27402 does not switch if the output is pre-biased to a voltage higher than the nominally-set output voltage.
