TPS54627: Soft start requirement

Part Number: TPS54627

Hi,

I am using TPS54627DDA in my design. I have set the soft start limit to seconds. I would like to know whether soft-start is the time taken for the output to reach 85% of the VOUT, 90% or 100% of the Vout value.

Vin=12V

Vout=5V

  • Hi Shifali,

    Thanks for your question!

    Generally customers don't care much about SS time accuracy. So we don't specify the SS time limit of TPS54627.

    To give you a reference, I did bench test on TPS54627EVM board. The SS time is about the time from 0% Vout to 90% Vout. 

  • Hi Miranda,

    I would like to know when does the soft start timer gets enabled. I am enabling this regulator using first regulator in my board. The output voltage of first regulator is 5V. The VIH(min) for enable pin =1.6V.

    So whether the soft start timer starts as soon as enable pin voltage becomes 1.6V or whether it will wait till enable pin voltage to become 5V. kindly confirm.

  • Hi Shifali,

    Understood your question.

    I will do bench test and feedback to you by 1/13.

  • Hi Shifali,

    When EN voltage reached VH threshold, after a delay time (to wait internal circuit ready), SS time will start.

    I have some start-up waveforms for your reference.

    • EN rising to 1.6V quickly

    • EN rising to 1.6V slowly
