Feature Description (continued)

The capacitive ripple is not in phase with the inductor current. As a result, the capacitive ripple does not

decrease monotonically during the off-time. The resistive ripple is in phase with the inductor current and

decreases monotonically during the off-time. The resistive ripple must exceed the capacitive ripple at the output

node (VOUT) for stable operation. If this condition is not satisfied unstable switching behavior is observed in COT

converters, with multiple on-time bursts in close succession followed by a long off-time.

Type 3 ripple method uses Rr and Cr and the switch node (SW) voltage to generate a triangular ramp. This

triangular ramp is ac coupled using Cac to the feedback node (FB). Since this circuit does not use the output

voltage ripple, it is ideally suited for applications where low output voltage ripple is required. See AN-1481

Controlling Output Ripple and Achieving ESR Independence in Constant On-Time (COT) Regulator Designs

(SNVA166) for more details for each ripple generation method.

7.3.12 Soft-Start

A soft-start feature can be implemented with the LM5017 using an external circuit. As shown in Figure 12, the

soft-start circuit consists of one capacitor, C1, two resistors, R1 and R2, and a diode, D. During the initial start-up,

the VCC voltage is established prior to the VOUT voltage. Capacitor C1 is discharged and D is thereby forward

biased to pull up the FB voltage. The FB voltage exceeds the reference voltage (1.225 V) and switching is

therefore disabled. As capacitor C1 charges, the voltage at node B gradually decreases and switching

commences. VOUT will gradually rise to maintain the FB voltage at the reference voltage. Once the voltage at

node B is less than a diode drop above FB voltage, the soft-start is finished and D is reverse biased.

During the initial part of the start-up, the FB voltage can be approximated as follows. Please note that the effect

of R1 has been ignored to simplify the calculation shown in Equation 8.

C1 is charged after the first start up. Diode D1 is optional and can be added to discharge C1 when the input

voltage experiences a momentary drop to initialize the soft-start sequence.
