PRODUCTION DATA
Internal soft starting of the PWM output is accomplished by gradually increasing error amplifier (E/A) output voltage. When used in current mode control, this implementation slowly raises the peak switch current each PWM cycle in comparison, forcing a controlled start-up. In voltage mode (duty cycle) control, this feature continually widens the pulse width.
The internal soft-start capacitor (Css) is discharged following an undervoltage lockout transition or if the reference voltage is below a minimum value for normal operation. Additionally, discharge of Css occurs whenever the overcurrent protection comparator is triggered by a fault. Soft start is performed within the UCCx800, UCC2801, UCC2802, UCC2803, UCC2804, and UCC2805 devices by clamping the E/A amplifier output to an internal soft-start capacitor (Css), which is charged by a current source. The soft-start clamp circuitry is overridden once Css charges above the voltage commanded by the error amplifier for normal PWM operation.
