Three Channel Digital PWM Step Down Controller
Typically the over-current fault threshold would be set to 130-140% of the maximum desirable
output current. This will help avoid any over-current conditions caused by transients that would
shut down the output channel.
CHIP OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION
SOFT-START
The SET_SS_RISE_CHx register is a 16 bit register which specifies the soft-start delay and the
ramp characteristics for a specific channel. This register allows the customer to program the
channel with a 250µs step resolution and up to a maximum 16ms delay.
Bits [15:10] specify the delay after enabling a channel but before outputting pulses; where each bit
represents 250µs steps. Bits [9:0] specify the rise time of the channel; these 10 bits define the
number of microseconds for each 50mV increment to reach the target voltage.
