While EN/FF is pulled to ground, a constant voltage (0.8V) is
fed into the ramp generator to maintain a minimum
peak-to-peak ramp.
Since the EN/FF pins are pulled down under fault conditions,
the pull-up resistor (R
than 5mA current from EN/FF pin. Essentially, the EN/FF
pins cannot be directly connected to VCC.
Soft-start
The ISL8120IRZEC has two independent digital pre-charged
soft-start circuitry, which has a rise time inversely
proportional to the switching frequency and is determined by
an digital counter that increments with every pulse of the
phase clock. Refer to Figure 7. The full soft-start time from
0V to 0.6V can be estimated by Equation 1.
The ISL8120IRZEC has the ability to work under a
pre-charged output (see Figure 8). The output voltage would
not be yanked down during pre-charged start-up. If the pre-
charged output voltage is greater than the final target level
but prior to 113% setpoint, the switching will not start until the
output voltage reduces to the target voltage and the first
PWM pulse is generated (see Figure 9). The maximum
allowable pre-charged level is 113%. If the pre-charged level
is above 113% but below 120%, the output will hiccup
between 113% (LGATE turns on) and 87% (LGATE turns off)
while EN/FF is pulled low. If the pre-charged load voltage is
above 120% of the targeted output voltage, then the
controller will be latched off and not be able to power-up.
See “PRE-POR Overvoltage Protection (PRE-POR-OVP)”
on page 24 for details.
For above target pre-charged start-up, the output voltage
would not change until the end of the soft-start. If the initial
dip is below the UV level, the LGATE could be turned off. In
such an event, the body-diode drop of the low-side FET will
be sensed and could potentiality cause an OCP event for
