■HOW TO SET THE TIME CONSTANT FOR SOFT START AND SHORT CIRCUIT DETECTION
1. Soft Start
A soft start function, which gradually increases the width of the output pulses at power on, will be applied if a
capacitor is connected to the SP pin. This can prevent rush currents and overshoot when the power supply is
turned on.
Soft start time can be measured by the following equation. (The time until the output ON duty reaches
approximately 50%)
tS [s] = 0.35 × CPE [uF]
2. Timer Latch Short Circuit Protection
When the load conditions suddenly change due to load effect, the short-circuit protection comparator outputs the
high-level signal (VOM+) and the capacitor CPE connected to the SP terminal starts charging. When the external
capacitor CPE has been charged to approximately 0.8V, the latch circuit is set, the output terminal is fixed to low
level, and the dead-time is set to 100%. However, the latch circuit is not reset unless the power for the latch
circuit is turned off or restarted by the on/off control.
• Short circuit detection time
tPE [s] = 0.8 × CPE [uF]
