The undervoltage-lockout (UVLO) circuit compares the
input voltage at IN with the UVLO threshold (2.5V rising,
2.35V falling, typ) to ensure the input voltage is high
enough for reliable operation. The 150mV (typ) hysteresis
prevents supply transients from causing a restart. Once
the input voltage exceeds the UVLO rising threshold,
startup begins. When the input voltage falls below the
UVLO falling threshold, the controller turns off the main
step-up regulator, turns off the linear-regulator outputs,
and disables the switch control block; the operational-
amplifier outputs are high impedance.
The reference output is nominally 1.25V and can
source at least 50µA (see the Typical Operating
Characteristics). Bypass REF with a 0.22µF ceramic
capacitor connected between REF and AGND.
Once the voltage on IN exceeds approximately 1.7V,
the reference turns on. With a 0.22µF REF bypass
capacitor, the reference reaches its regulation voltage
of 1.25V in approximately 1ms. When the reference
voltage exceeds 1.0V, the ICs enable the main step-up
regulator, the gate-on linear-regulator controller, and
the gate-off linear-regulator controller simultaneously.
The IC employs soft-start for each regulator to minimize
inrush current and voltage overshoot and to ensure a
well-defined startup behavior. During the soft-start, the
main step-up regulator directly limits the peak inductor
current. The current-limit level is increased through the
soft-start period from 0 up to the full current-limit value
in eight equal current steps (ILIM / 8). The maximum
load current is available after the output voltage reach-
es regulation (which terminates soft-start), or after the
soft-start timer expires. Both linear-regulator controllers
use a 7-bit soft-start DAC. For the gate-on linear regula-
tor, the DAC output is stepped in 128 steps from zero
up to the reference voltage. For the gate-off linear regu-
lator, the DAC output steps from the reference down to
250mV in 128 steps. The soft-start duration is 14ms
(typ) for all three regulators.

enabled, COM can be connected to SRC or DRN

through a 1kΩ resistor when the switch control is not
activated. Once activated and if CTL is high, the 5Ω
internal p-channel switch (Q1) between COM and SRC
turns on and the 30Ω p-channel switch (Q2) between
DRN and COM turns off. If CTL is low, Q1 turns off and
Q2 turns on.
