The soft-start time should be greater than the input voltage
rise time and also satisfy the following equality to maintain a
smooth transition of the output voltage to the programmed
regulation voltage during startup.
Enable/Shutdown
The EN pin can be activated by either leaving the pin floating
due to an internal pull up resistor to VIN or by applying a logic
high signal to the EN pin of 1.26V or greater. The LM3150 can
be remotely shut down by taking the EN pin below 1.02V. Low
quiescent shutdown is achieved when V
During low quiescent shutdown the internal bias circuitry is
turned off.
The LM3150 has certain fault conditions that can trigger shut-
down, such as over-voltage protection, current limit, under-
voltage lockout, or thermal shutdown. During shutdown, the
soft-start capacitor is discharged. Once the fault condition is
removed, the soft-start capacitor begins charging, allowing
the part to start-up in a controlled fashion. In conditions where
there may be an open drain connection to the EN pin, it may
be necessary to add a 1 nF bypass capacitor to this pin. This
will help decouple noise from the EN pin and prevent false
disabling.
Thermal Protection
The LM3150 should be operated such that the junction tem-
perature does not exceed the maximum operating junction
temperature. An internal thermal shutdown circuit, which ac-
tivates at 165°C (typical), takes the controller to a low-power
reset state by disabling the buck switch and the on-timer, and
grounding the SS pin. This feature helps prevent catastrophic
failures from accidental device overheating. When the junc-
tion temperature falls back below 150°C the SS pin is re-
leased and device operation resumes.
