Startup Inhibit Period: The Startup Inhibit Period ensures
that the converter will remain off for at least 200ms when it is
shut down for any reason. When an output short is present,
this generates a 5Hz "hiccup mode," which prevents the con-
verter from overheating. In all, there are seven ways that the
converter can be shut down, initiating a Startup Inhibit Period:
Input Under-Voltage Lockout
Input Over-Voltage Shutdown (not present in Quarter-brick)
Output Over-Voltage Protection
Over Temperature Shutdown
Current Limit
Short Circuit Protection
Turned off by the ON/OFF input
Figure F shows three turn-on scenarios, where a Startup Inhibit
Period is initiated at t0, t1, and t2:
Before time t0, when the input voltage is below the UVL thresh-
old, the unit is disabled by the Input Under-Voltage Lockout fea-
ture. When the input voltage rises above the UVL threshold, the
Input Under-Voltage Lockout is released, and a Startup Inhibit
Period is initiated. At the end of this delay, the ON/OFF pin is
evaluated, and since it is active, the unit turns on.
At time t1, the unit is disabled by the ON/OFF pin, and it can-
not be enabled again until the Startup Inhibit Period has
elapsed.
When the ON/OFF pin goes high after t2, the Startup Inhibit
Period has elapsed, and the output turns on within the typical
Turn-On Time.
