Power-Up Sequencing and

Inrush Current Control

Once SHDN is high, the MAX1889 enables the UVLO

circuitry and compares the input voltage with the UVLO

rising threshold (2.7V, typ). If the input voltage exceeds

the UVLO rising threshold, the reference is enabled.

When the reference voltage ramps up above 1.05V

(typ), the MAX1889 enables the oscillator and turns on

the external P-channel MOSFET P1 (Figure 1) by

pulling GATE low. GATE is pulled down with a 12µA

current source. Add a capacitor from the gate of P1 to

its drain to slow down the turn-on rate of the MOSFET,

and reduce inrush current. Once GATE reaches around

0.6V, an internal N-channel MOSFET turns on and pulls

GATE to ground in order to maximize the enhancement

of the external P-channel MOSFET. As P1 fully turns on,

the main step-up regulator powers up with soft-start

(see the Soft-Start section). The negative linear regula-

tor is enabled at the same time as the main step-up

regulator. The positive linear regulator is enabled after

the soft-start routine is completed. The fault detection

timer begins after the main step-up regulator has fin-

ished its soft-start period.

Soft-Start

The soft-start of the main step-up regulator (Figure 3) is

achieved by ramping up the reference voltage of the

multi-input PWM comparator in 4096 oscillator clock

cycles. The 4096 clock cycles correspond to 4.096ms

for 1MHz operation and 8.192ms for 500kHz operation.

The reference of the PWM comparator comes from a

5-bit DAC that generates 32 steps when the reference

ramps up from 0V to its final value. This soft-start

method allows a gradual increase of the output voltage

to reduce the input surge current (see the startup

waveforms in the Typical Operating Characteristics).

The average input current is given as:

where VMAIN is the main step-up regulator output volt-

age, VIN is the input voltage, COUT is the main step-up

regulator output capacitor,

η is the efficiency of the

step-up regulator, and tSS is the soft-start period

(4.096ms for 1MHz operation and 8.192ms for 500kHz

operation).

Input Overcurrent Protection

The high-side overcurrent comparator of the MAX1889

provides input overcurrent protection when it is used

together with the external P-channel MOSFET switch P1

(Figure 1). Connect resistive voltage-dividers from the

source and drain of P1 to GND to set the overcurrent

threshold. The center taps of the dividers are connected

to the overcurrent comparator inputs (OCN and OCP)

See the Setting the Input Overcurrent Threshold section

for information on calculating resistor values. An overcur-

rent event activates the fault-protection circuitry.

Fault Protection

Once the soft-start routine is completed, if the output of

the main regulator or either linear regulator is below its

respective fault-detection threshold, or the input overcur-

rent comparator pulls high, the MAX1889 activates the

fault timer. If the fault condition still exists after the 64ms

fault-timer duration, the MAX1889 sets the fault latch,

which shuts down all the outputs except the reference,

which remains active. After removing the fault condition,

toggle SHDN (below 0.4V) or cycle the input voltage

(below 2.2V) to clear the fault latch and reactivate the

device.

Thermal Shutdown

The thermal shutdown feature limits total power dissipa-

tion in the MAX1889. When the junction temperature

(TJ) exceeds +160°C, a thermal sensor sets the fault

latch (Figure 2), which shuts down all the outputs

except the reference, allowing the device to cool down.

Once the device cools down by 15°C, toggle SHDN

(below 0.4V) or cycle the input voltage (below 2.2V) to

clear the fault latch and reactivate the device.

Design Procedure

Main Step-Up Regulator

Output Voltage Selection

Adjust the output voltage by connecting a resistive volt-

age-divider from the output (VMAIN) to GND with the

center tap connected to FB (Figure 1). Select R7 in the

10k

Ω to 50kΩ range. Calculate R6 with the following

equations:

where

For example, at VIN = 3V, VMAIN = 9V, D

≈ 0.66, and VFB

= 1.229V.

VMAIN can range from VIN to 13V.
