the Soft−Start error amp is clamped at 2.9 V. During fault

conditions the Soft−Start capacitor is discharged at 10 mA.

Fault Conditions

The CS5124 recognizes the following faults: UVLO off,

Threshold. Once a fault is recognized, fault latch F2 is set

and the IC immediately shuts down the output driver and

discharges the Soft−Start capacitor. Soft−Start will begin

only after all faults have been removed and the Soft−Start

capacitor has been discharged to less than 0.275 V. Each

fault will be explained in the following sections.

Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)

The UVLO pin is tied to typically the midpoint of a

up sequence, this pin must be above 2.6 V in order for the IC

to begin normal operation. If the IC is running and this pin

is pulled below 1.8 V, F2 shuts down the output driver and

discharges the Soft−Start capacitor in order to insure proper

startup. If the UVLO pin is pulled high again before the

Soft−Start capacitor discharges, the IC will complete the

Soft−Start discharge and, if no other faults are present, will

immediately restart the power supply. If the UVLO pin stays

low, then it will enter either the low current sleep mode or the

UVLO state depending on the level of the UVLO pin.

Thermal Shutdown

If the IC junction temperature exceeds approximately

150

°C the thermal shutdown circuit sets F2, which shuts

down the output driver and discharges the Soft−Start

capacitor. If no other faults are present the IC will initiate

Soft−Start when the IC junction temperature has been

reduced by 25

°C.

regulator is running before any switching occurs. This

function does not trip the fault comparator like the other fault

functions. To insure that Soft−Start will occur at low line

conditions the UVLO divider should be set up so that the

comparator.

Second Threshold Comparator

in normal operation is 195 mV, any voltage exceeding this

voltage exceeds the second threshold, F2 is set, the driver

turns off, and the Soft−Start capacitor discharges. After the

Soft−Start capacitor has discharged to less than 0.275 V

Soft−Start will begin. If the fault condition has been

removed the supply will operate normally. If the fault

remains the supply will operate in hiccup mode until the

fault condition is removed.

too high. When the regulated output voltage is too high, the

output driver off.

Oscillator

The internally trimmed, 400 kHz provides the slope

compensation ramp as well as the pulse for enabling the

output driver.

PWM Comparator and Slope Compensation

The CS5124 provides a fixed internal slope compensation

ramp that is subtracted from the feedback signal. The PWM

comparator compares peak primary current to a portion of

the difference of the feedback voltage and slope

compensation ramp. The 170 mV/

ms slope compensation

ramp is subtracted from the voltage feedback signal

internally. The difference signal is then divided by ten before

the PWM comparator to provide high noise rejection with a

low voltage across the current sense network. The effective

ramp is 21 mV/

ms. A 60 mV nominal offset on the positive

input to the PWM comparator allows for operation with the
