RAA23014x and RAA23015x have Auto PFM mode to achieve high efficiency over a wide load current range. The devices operate with PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) mode at light load current, and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) mode at heavy load current. An operation mode is automatically switched depending on load current. When a bottom of inductor ripple current is under OA, reverse current flow at low-side N-channel MOSFET of output block. The devices operate with PFM mode during detecting this current. A current of switching PFM / PWM mode (Fhange) is calculated by an equation below. Reverse current...

Soft Start To limit the startup inrush current and output voltage overshoot, a soft start circuit is used to ramp up the reference voltage from 0 V to its final value linearly. When EN pin is set from low level to high level, the device starts operation and output voltage rises with soft start. Soft start time are fixed at 2ms(Typ.) and no additional components are needed. Soft start feature gradually increases the error amplifier (E/A) input threshold voltage by using the voltage that is generated by the digital soft start (DSS) circuit. Note1 : This figure is the case of RAA230143 or RAA230153....
