Soft start values are determined by reading the FREQ and
ILIM1 pins respectively. A soft start cycle is then initiated to
ramp up the outputs. While channel 1 buck converter uses an
internal reference, channel 2 converter error amplifier uses

phase which will create a very sharp di/dt ramp. Allowing the
inductor current to rise too high can result in a large
difference between the charging current and the actual load
current that can result in an undesired voltage spike once the
capacitor is fully charged. The soft start is active each time
the IC goes out of standby or shutdown mode, power is
recycled, or after a fault retry.

and the VREFIN voltage has a high dv/dt, the output will
naturally track it immediately and ramp up with a fast dv/dt
itself and that will defeat the purpose of soft starting. For
reliable operation, it is best to have the VDDQ voltage

power good output signal low after a 10 ms reset delay, to

PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
conditions to protect the load from overstress. The reaction of
the IC to these faults ranges from turning off the outputs to
just alerting the host that something is wrong. In the following
paragraphs, each fault condition is explained:

this case, the power good output signal is pulled high, alerting
the host that a fault is present, but the outputs will stay active.
To avoid erroneous over-voltage conditions, a 20 µs filter is
implemented. The buck converter will use its feedback loop
to attempt to correct the fault. Once the output voltage falls
below the falling over-voltage threshold (V

device is back in normal operation. The condition is the same
for both outputs.
Output Under-voltage

case, the power good output signal is pulled high, alerting the
host that a fault is present, but the outputs will stay active. To

Output Over-current
the buck converter. It is comprised of a sense MOSFET and
a comparator for each channel. The sense MOSFET acts as
a current detecting device by sampling a ratio of the load
current. That sample is compared via the comparator with an
internal reference to determine if the output is in over-current
or not. If the peak current in the output inductor reaches the
