Soft-Start/Run Function
The RUN/SS pin provides three functions: 1) Run/Shut-
down, 2) soft-start and 3) a defeatable short-circuit latchoff
timer. Soft-start reduces the input power sources’ surge
currents by gradually increasing the controller’s current
limit I
extreme load transients from tripping the overcurrent
latch. A small pull-up current (>5 A) supplied to the RUN/
SS pin will prevent the overcurrent latch from operating.
The following explanation describes how the functions
operate.
An internal 1.2 A current source charges up the soft-start
capacitor, C
1.5V, the controller is permitted to start operating. As the
voltage on RUN/SS increases from 1.5V to 3.0V, the
internal current limit is increased from 25mV/R
75mV/R
taking an additional 1.4s/ F to reach full current. The
output current thus ramps up slowly, reducing the starting
surge current required from the input power supply. If
RUN/SS has been pulled all the way to ground there is a
delay before starting of approximately:
The time for the output current to ramp up is then:
By pulling the RUN/SS pin below 0.8V the LTC1709-7 is
put into low current shutdown (I
pins can be driven directly from logic as shown in Figure
6. Diode D1 in Figure 6 reduces the start delay but allows
