Power supply and voltage reference
The internal regulator circuit (shown in
voltage Preregulator, the Bandgap voltage reference and the Bias block that provides
current to all the blocks.
The Starter gives the start-up currents to the entire device when the input voltage goes high
and the device is enabled (inhibit pin connected to ground).
The Preregulator block supplies the Bandgap cell with a preregulated voltage V
a very low supply voltage noise sensitivity.
Voltages monitor
An internal block continuously senses the V
their thresholds, the regulator begins operating. There is also a hysteresis on the V
(UVLO).
A voltage regulator that supplies the internal circuitry. From this regulator, a 3.3 V
reference voltage is externally available.
A voltage monitor circuit which checks the input and internal voltages.
A fully integrated sawtooth oscillator with a frequency of 250 kHz ±15%, including also
the voltage feed-forward function and an input/output synchronization pin.
Two embedded current limitation circuits which control the current that flows through
the power switch. The pulse-by-pulse current limit forces the power switch OFF cycle
by cycle if the current reaches an internal threshold, while the frequency shifter reduces
the switching frequency in order to significantly reduce the duty cycle.
A transconductance error amplifier.
A pulse width modulation (PWM) comparator and the relative logic circuitry necessary
to drive the internal power.
A high-side driver for the internal P-MOS switch.
A circuit to implement the thermal protection function.
