LM5035: Soft-start not work

Part Number: LM5035

Tool/software:

Dear Expert

The application is input 160V to 576V AC and output is 24V 200W .

When the low voltage is 160V input, there is no soft start process, and the width of the switch is always around 1.6uS, not gradually increasing. There is a soft start process when the high voltage is 280V input.Could u give us some suggestion why there is no soft-start?

  • If the SS is not operating correctly at low input line (highest input current), check to make sure the converter is not starting in a overload condition. Make sure the converter is not entering a hiccup mode during 160V startup. Check the waveforms at RES, CS, SS and LO (measure directly at IC pins) during 160V input compared to 280V input.
