PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Pin(s) Name Description Application Information
1 VCC Output of the bias regulator Vcc tracks Vin up to 9V. Beyond 9V, Vcc is regulated to 7 Volts.
A 0.1uF to 1uF ceramic decoupling capacitor is required. An
external voltage (7.5V – 14V) can be applied to this pin to
reduce internal power dissipation.
2 SD Shutdown or UVLO input If the SD pin voltage is below 0.7V the regulator will be in a low

Detailed Operating Description

The LM5574 switching regulator features all of the functions necessary to implement an efficient high voltage
buck regulator using a minimum of external components. This easy to use regulator integrates a 75V N-Channel
buck switch with an output current capability of 0.5 Amps. The regulator control method is based on current
mode control utilizing an emulated current ramp. Peak current mode control provides inherent line voltage feed-
forward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and ease of loop compensation. The use of an emulated control ramp
reduces noise sensitivity of the pulse-width modulation circuit, allowing reliable processing of very small duty
cycles necessary in high input voltage applications. The operating frequency is user programmable from 50kHz
to 500kHz. An oscillator synchronization pin allows multiple LM5574 regulators to self synchronize or be
synchronized to an external clock. The output voltage can be set as low as 1.225V. Fault protection features
include, current limiting, thermal shutdown and remote shutdown capability. The device is available in the
TSSOP-16 package.
The functional block diagram and typical application of the LM5574 are shown in Figure 9. The LM5574 can be
applied in numerous applications to efficiently step-down a high, unregulated input voltage. The device is well
suited for telecom, industrial and automotive power bus voltage ranges.

High Voltage Start-Up Regulator

The LM5574 contains a dual-mode internal high voltage startup regulator that provides the Vcc bias supply for
the PWM controller and boot-strap MOSFET gate driver. The input pin (VIN) can be connected directly to the
input voltage, as high as 75 Volts. For input voltages below 9V, a low dropout switch connects Vcc directly to
Vin. In this supply range, Vcc is approximately equal to Vin. For Vin voltage greater than 9V, the low dropout
switch is disabled and the Vcc regulator is enabled to maintain Vcc at approximately 7V. The wide operating
range of 6V to 75V is achieved through the use of this dual mode regulator.
The output of the Vcc regulator is current limited to 25mA. Upon power up, the regulator sources current into the
capacitor connected to the VCC pin. When the voltage at the VCC pin exceeds the Vcc UVLO threshold of 5.35V
and the SD pin is greater than 1.225V, the output switch is enabled and a soft-start sequence begins. The output
switch remains enabled until Vcc falls below 5.0V or the SD pin falls below 1.125V.

An auxiliary supply voltage can be applied to the Vcc pin to reduce the IC power dissipation. If the auxiliary
voltage is greater than 7.3V, the internal regulator will essentially shut off, reducing the IC power dissipation. The
Vcc regulator series pass transistor includes a diode between Vcc and Vin that should not be forward biased in
normal operation. Therefore the auxiliary Vcc voltage should never exceed the Vin voltage.
In high voltage applications extra care should be taken to ensure the VIN pin does not exceed the absolute
maximum voltage rating of 76V. During line or load transients, voltage ringing on the Vin line that exceeds the
Absolute Maximum Ratings can damage the IC. Both careful PC board layout and the use of quality bypass
capacitors located close to the VIN and GND pins are essential.

Shutdown / Standby
The LM5574 contains a dual level Shutdown (SD) circuit. When the SD pin voltage is below 0.7V, the regulator is
in a low current shutdown mode. When the SD pin voltage is greater than 0.7V but less than 1.225V, the
regulator is in standby mode. In standby mode the Vcc regulator is active but the output switch is disabled. When
the SD pin voltage exceeds 1.225V, the output switch is enabled and normal operation begins. An internal 5µA
pull-up current source configures the regulator to be fully operational if the SD pin is left open.
An external set-point voltage divider from VIN to GND can be used to set the operational input range of the
regulator. The divider must be designed such that the voltage at the SD pin will be greater than 1.225V when Vin
is in the desired operating range. The internal 5µA pull-up current source must be included in calculations of the
external set-point divider. Hysteresis of 0.1V is included for both the shutdown and standby thresholds. The SD
pin is internally clamped with a 1kΩ resistor and an 8V zener clamp. The voltage at the SD pin should never
exceed 14V. If the voltage at the SD pin exceeds 8V, the bias current will increase at a rate of 1 mA/V.
The SD pin can also be used to implement various remote enable / disable functions. Pulling the SD pin below
the 0.7V threshold totally disables the controller. If the SD pin voltage is above 1.225V the regulator will be
operational.

Oscillator and Sync Capability

The LM5574 oscillator frequency is set by a single external resistor connected between the RT pin and the
AGND pin. The RT resistor should be located very close to the device and connected directly to the pins of the IC
(RT and AGND).To set a desired oscillator frequency (F), the necessary value for the RT resistor can be
calculated from the following equation:
1 - 580 x 10-9
F
RT =
135 x 10-12 (1)
The SYNC pin can be used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external clock. The external clock must be
of higher frequency than the free-running frequency set by the RT resistor. A clock circuit with an open drain
output is the recommended interface from the external clock to the SYNC pin. The clock pulse duration should
be greater than 15ns.

Multiple LM5574 devices can be synchronized together simply by connecting the SYNC pins together. In this
configuration all of the devices will be synchronized to the highest frequency device. The diagram in Figure 13
illustrates the SYNC input/output features of the LM5574. The internal oscillator circuit drives the SYNC pin with
a strong pull-down / weak pull-up inverter. When the SYNC pin is pulled low either by the internal oscillator or an
external clock, the ramp cycle of the oscillator is terminated and a new oscillator cycle begins. Thus, if the SYNC
pins of several LM5574 IC’s are connected together, the IC with the highest internal clock frequency will pull the
connected SYNC pins low first and terminate the oscillator ramp cycles of the other IC’s. The LM5574 with the
highest programmed clock frequency will serve as the master and control the switching frequency of the all the
devices with lower oscillator frequency.

Error Amplifier and PWM Comparator

The internal high gain error amplifier generates an error signal proportional to the difference between the
regulated output voltage and an internal precision reference (1.225V). The output of the error amplifier is
connected to the COMP pin allowing the user to provide loop compensation components, generally a type II
network, as illustrated in Figure 9. This network creates a pole at DC, a zero and a noise reducing high
frequency pole. The PWM comparator compares the emulated current sense signal from the RAMP generator to
the error amplifier output voltage at the COMP pin.

RAMP Generator
The ramp signal used in the pulse width modulator for current mode control is typically derived directly from the
buck switch current. This switch current corresponds to the positive slope portion of the output inductor current.
Using this signal for the PWM ramp simplifies the control loop transfer function to a single pole response and
provides inherent input voltage feed-forward compensation. The disadvantage of using the buck switch current
signal for PWM control is the large leading edge spike due to circuit parasitics that must be filtered or blanked.
Also, the current measurement may introduce significant propagation delays. The filtering, blanking time and
propagation delay limit the minimum achievable pulsewidth. In applications where the input voltage may be
relatively large in comparison to the output voltage, controlling small pulsewidths and duty cycles is necessary for
regulation. The LM5574 utilizes a unique ramp generator, which does not actually measure the buck switch
current but rather reconstructs the signal. Reconstructing or emulating the inductor current provides a ramp
signal to the PWM comparator that is free of leading edge spikes and measurement or filtering delays. The
current reconstruction is comprised of two elements; a sample & hold DC level and an emulated current ramp.

Figure 14. Composition of Current Sense Signal

The sample & hold DC level illustrated in Figure 14 is derived from a measurement of the re-circulating Schottky
diode anode current. The re-circulating diode anode should be connected to the IS pin. The diode current flows
through an internal current sense resistor between the IS and PGND pins. The voltage level across the sense
resistor is sampled and held just prior to the onset of the next conduction interval of the buck switch. The diode
current sensing and sample & hold provide the DC level of the reconstructed current signal. The positive slope
inductor current ramp is emulated by an external capacitor connected from the RAMP pin to AGND and an
internal voltage controlled current source. The ramp current source that emulates the inductor current is a
function of the Vin and Vout voltages per the following equation:
IRAMP = (10µ x (Vin – Vout)) + 50µA (2)
Proper selection of the RAMP capacitor depends upon the selected value of the output inductor. The value of
CRAMP can be selected from: CRAMP = L x 5 x 10-6, where L is the value of the output inductor in Henrys. With this
value, the scale factor of the emulated current ramp will be approximately equal to the scale factor of the DC
level sample and hold (2.0V / A). The CRAMP capacitor should be located very close to the device and connected
directly to the pins of the IC (RAMP and AGND).

For duty cycles greater than 50%, peak current mode control circuits are subject to sub-harmonic oscillation.
Sub-harmonic oscillation is normally characterized by observing alternating wide and narrow pulses at the switch
node. Adding a fixed slope voltage ramp (slope compensation) to the current sense signal prevents this
oscillation. The 50µA of offset current provided from the emulated current source adds some fixed slope to the
ramp signal. In some high output voltage, high duty cycle applications, additional slope may be required. In these
applications, a pull-up resistor may be added between the VCC and RAMP pins to increase the ramp slope
compensation.
For VOUT > 7.5V:
Calculate optimal slope current, IOS = VOUT x 10µA/V.
For example, at VOUT = 10V, IOS = 100µA.

Maximum Duty Cycle / Input Drop-out Voltage

There is a forced off-time of 500ns implemented each cycle to ensure sufficient time for the diode current to be
sampled. This forced off-time limits the maximum duty cycle of the buck switch. The maximum duty cycle will
vary with the operating frequency.
DMAX = 1 - Fs x 500ns (3)
Where Fs is the oscillator frequency. Limiting the maximum duty cycle will raise the input dropout voltage. The
input dropout voltage is the lowest input voltage required to maintain regulation of the output voltage. An
approximation of the input dropout voltage is:
Vout + VD
VinMIN =
1 - Fs x 500 ns (4)
Where VD is the voltage drop across the re-circulatory diode. Operating at high switching frequency raises the
minimum input voltage necessary to maintain regulation.

Current Limit
The LM5574 contains a unique current monitoring scheme for control and over-current protection. When set
correctly, the emulated current sense signal provides a signal which is proportional to the buck switch current
with a scale factor of 2.0 V / A. The emulated ramp signal is applied to the current limit comparator. If the
emulated ramp signal exceeds 1.4V (0.7A) the present current cycle is terminated (cycle-by-cycle current
limiting). In applications with small output inductance and high input voltage the switch current may overshoot
due to the propagation delay of the current limit comparator. If an overshoot should occur, the diode current
sampling circuit will detect the excess inductor current during the off-time of the buck switch. If the sample & hold
DC level exceeds the 1.4V current limit threshold, the buck switch will be disabled and skip pulses until the diode
current sampling circuit detects the inductor current has decayed below the current limit threshold. This approach
prevents current runaway conditions due to propagation delays or inductor saturation since the inductor current is
forced to decay following any current overshoot.

Soft-Start
The soft-start feature allows the regulator to gradually reach the initial steady state operating point, thus reducing
start-up stresses and surges. The internal soft-start current source, set to 10µA, gradually increases the voltage
of an external soft-start capacitor connected to the SS pin. The soft-start capacitor voltage is connected to the
reference input of the error amplifier. Various sequencing and tracking schemes can be implemented using
external circuits that limit or clamp the voltage level of the SS pin.
In the event a fault is detected (over-temperature, Vcc UVLO, SD) the soft-start capacitor will be discharged.
When the fault condition is no longer present a new soft-start sequence will commence.

Boost Pin
The LM5574 integrates an N-Channel buck switch and associated floating high voltage level shift / gate driver.
This gate driver circuit works in conjunction with an internal diode and an external bootstrap capacitor. A 0.022µF
ceramic capacitor, connected with short traces between the BST pin and SW pin, is recommended. During the
off-time of the buck switch, the SW pin voltage is approximately -0.5V and the bootstrap capacitor is charged
from Vcc through the internal bootstrap diode. When operating with a high PWM duty cycle, the buck switch will
be forced off each cycle for 500ns to ensure that the bootstrap capacitor is recharged.
Under very light load conditions or when the output voltage is pre-charged, the SW voltage will not remain low
during the off-time of the buck switch. If the inductor current falls to zero and the SW pin rises, the bootstrap
capacitor will not receive sufficient voltage to operate the buck switch gate driver. For these applications, the
PRE pin can be connected to the SW pin to pre-charge the bootstrap capacitor. The internal pre-charge
MOSFET and diode connected between the PRE pin and PGND turns on each cycle for 250ns just prior to the
onset of a new switching cycle. If the SW pin is at a normal negative voltage level (continuous conduction mode),
then no current will flow through the pre-charge MOSFET/diode.

Thermal Protection
Internal Thermal Shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event the maximum junction
temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165°C, the controller is forced into a low power reset state,
disabling the output driver and the bias regulator. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from
accidental device overheating.

Application Information

EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
The procedure for calculating the external components is illustrated with the following design example. The Bill of
Materials for this design is listed in Table 1. The circuit shown in Figure 9 is configured for the following
specifications:
• VOUT = 5V
• VIN = 7V to 75V
• Fs = 300kHz
• Minimum load current (for CCM) = 100mA
• Maximum load current = 0.5A

R3 (RT)
RT sets the oscillator switching frequency. Generally, higher frequency applications are smaller but have higher
losses. Operation at 300kHz was selected for this example as a reasonable compromise for both small size and
high efficiency. The value of RT for 300kHz switching frequency can be calculated as follows:
[(1 / 300 x 103) ± 580 x 10-9]
RT =
135 x 10-12 (5)
The nearest standard value of 21kΩ was chosen for RT.

minimum and maximum input voltage (VIN(min), VIN(max)).

Figure 16. Inductor Current Waveform

To keep the circuit in continuous conduction mode (CCM), the maximum ripple current IRIPPLE should be less
than twice the minimum load current, or 0.2Ap-p. Using this value of ripple current, the value of inductor (L1) is
calculated using the following:
VOUT x (VIN(max) ± VOUT)
L1 =
IRIPPLE x FS x VIN(max) (6)
5V x (75V ± 5V)
L1 = = 78 PH
0.2A x 300 kHz x 75V
(7)
This procedure provides a guide to select the value of L1. The nearest standard value (100µH) will be used. L1
must be rated for the peak current (IPK+) to prevent saturation. During normal loading conditions, the peak current
occurs at maximum load current plus maximum ripple. During an overload condition the peak current is limited to
0.7A nominal (0.85A maximum). The selected inductor (see Table 1) has a conservative 1.0 Amp saturation
current rating. For this manufacturer, the saturation rating is defined as the current necessary for the inductance
to reduce by 30%, at 20°C.

C3 (CRAMP)
With the inductor value selected, the value of C3 (CRAMP) necessary for the emulation ramp circuit is:
CRAMP = L x 5 x 10-6 (8)
Where L is in Henrys
With L1 selected for 100µH the recommended value for C3 is 470pF (nearest standard value).

C9
The output capacitor, C9 smoothes the inductor ripple current and provides a source of charge for transient
loading conditions. For this design a 22µF ceramic capacitor was selected. The ceramic capacitor provides ultra
low ESR to reduce the output ripple voltage and noise spikes. An approximation for the output ripple voltage is:

D1
A Schottky type re-circulating diode is required for all LM5574 applications. Ultra-fast diodes are not
recommended and may result in damage to the IC due to reverse recovery current transients. The near ideal
reverse recovery characteristics and low forward voltage drop are particularly important diode characteristics for
high input voltage and low output voltage applications common to the LM5574. The reverse recovery
characteristic determines how long the current surge lasts each cycle when the buck switch is turned on. The
reverse recovery characteristics of Schottky diodes minimize the peak instantaneous power in the buck switch
occurring during turn-on each cycle. The resulting switching losses of the buck switch are significantly reduced
when using a Schottky diode. The reverse breakdown rating should be selected for the maximum VIN, plus some
safety margin.

The forward voltage drop has a significant impact on the conversion efficiency, especially for applications with a
low output voltage. “Rated” current for diodes vary widely from various manufacturers. The worst case is to
assume a short circuit load condition. In this case the diode will carry the output current almost continuously. For
the LM5574 this current can be as high as 0.7A. Assuming a worst case 1V drop across the diode, the maximum
diode power dissipation can be as high as 0.7W. For the reference design a 100V Schottky in a SMA package
was selected.

C1
The regulator supply voltage has a large source impedance at the switching frequency. Good quality input
capacitors are necessary to limit the ripple voltage at the VIN pin while supplying most of the switch current
during the on-time. When the buck switch turns on, the current into the VIN pin steps to the lower peak of the
inductor current waveform, ramps up to the peak value, then drops to zero at turn-off. The average current into
VIN during the on-time is the load current. The input capacitance should be selected for RMS current rating and
minimum ripple voltage. A good approximation for the required ripple current rating necessary is IRMS > IOUT / 2.
Quality ceramic capacitors with a low ESR should be selected for the input filter. To allow for capacitor
tolerances and voltage effects, one 1.0µF, 100V ceramic capacitor will be used. If step input voltage transients
are expected near the maximum rating of the LM5574, a careful evaluation of ringing and possible spikes at the
device VIN pin should be completed. An additional damping network or input voltage clamp may be required in
these cases.

C8
The capacitor at the VCC pin provides noise filtering and stability for the VCC regulator. The recommended value
of C8 should be no smaller than 0.1µF, and should be a good quality, low ESR, ceramic capacitor. A value of
0.47µF was selected for this design.

C7
The bootstrap capacitor between the BST and the SW pins supplies the gate current to charge the buck switch
gate at turn-on. The recommended value of C7 is 0.022µF, and should be a good quality, low ESR, ceramic
capacitor.

C4
The capacitor at the SS pin determines the soft-start time, i.e. the time for the reference voltage and the output
voltage, to reach the final regulated value. The time is determined from:
C4 x 1.225V
tss =
10 PA (10)
For this application, a C4 value of 0.01µF was chosen which corresponds to a soft-start time of 1ms.

R5, R6
R5 and R6 set the output voltage level, the ratio of these resistors is calculated from:
R5/R6 = (VOUT / 1.225V) - 1 (11)
For a 5V output, the R5/R6 ratio calculates to 3.082. The resistors should be chosen from standard value
resistors, a good starting point is selection in the range of 1.0kΩ - 10kΩ. Values of 5.11kΩ for R5, and 1.65kΩ for
R6 were selected.

R1, R2, C2
A voltage divider can be connected to the SD pin to set a minimum operating voltage Vin(min) for the regulator. If
this feature is required, the easiest approach to select the divider resistor values is to select a value for R1
(between 10kΩ and 100kΩ recommended) then calculate R2 from:

Capacitor C2 provides filtering for the divider. The voltage at the SD pin should never exceed 8V, when using an
external set-point divider it may be necessary to clamp the SD pin at high input voltage conditions. The reference
design utilizes the full range of the LM5574 (6V to 75V); therefore these components can be omitted. With the
SD pin open circuit the LM5574 responds once the Vcc UVLO threshold is satisfied.

R4, C5, C6
These components configure the error amplifier gain characteristics to accomplish a stable overall loop gain. One
advantage of current mode control is the ability to close the loop with only two feedback components, R4 and C5.
The overall loop gain is the product of the modulator gain and the error amplifier gain. The DC modulator gain of
the LM5574 is as follows:
DC Gain(MOD) = Gm(MOD) x RLOAD = 0.5 x RLOAD (13)
The dominant low frequency pole of the modulator is determined by the load resistance (RLOAD,) and output
capacitance (COUT). The corner frequency of this pole is:
fp(MOD) = 1 / (2π RLOAD COUT) (14)
For RLOAD = 20Ω and COUT = 22µF then fp(MOD) = 362Hz
DC Gain(MOD) = 0.5 x 20 = 20dB
For the design example of Figure 9 the following modulator gain vs. frequency characteristic was measured as
shown in Figure 17.

Components R4 and C5 configure the error amplifier as a type II configuration which has a pole at DC and a
zero at fZ = 1 / (2πR4C5). The error amplifier zero cancels the modulator pole leaving a single pole response at
the crossover frequency of the loop gain. A single pole response at the crossover frequency yields a very stable
loop with 90 degrees of phase margin.
For the design example, a target loop bandwidth (crossover frequency) of 25kHz was selected. The
compensation network zero (fZ) should be selected at least an order of magnitude less than the target crossover
frequency. This constrains the product of R4 and C5 for a desired compensation network zero 1 / (2π R4 C5) to
be less than 2kHz. Increasing R4, while proportionally decreasing C5, increases the error amp gain. Conversely,
decreasing R4 while proportionally increasing C5, decreases the error amp gain. For the design example C5 was
selected for 0.022µF and R4 was selected for 24.9kΩ. These values configure the compensation network zero at
290Hz. The error amp gain at frequencies greater than fZ is: R4 / R5, which is approximately 5 (14dB).

If a network analyzer is available, the modulator gain can be measured and the error amplifier gain can be

compensation components can be designed with the guidelines given. Step load transient tests can be
performed to verify acceptable performance. The step load goal is minimum overshoot with a damped response.
C6 can be added to the compensation network to decrease noise susceptibility of the error amplifier. The value
of C6 must be sufficiently small since the addition of this capacitor adds a pole in the error amplifier transfer
function. This pole must be well beyond the loop crossover frequency. A good approximation of the location of
the pole added by C6 is: fp2 = fz x C5 / C6.

BIAS POWER DISSIPATION REDUCTION

Buck regulators operating with high input voltage can dissipate an appreciable amount of power for the bias of
the IC. The VCC regulator must step-down the input voltage VIN to a nominal VCC level of 7V. The large voltage
drop across the VCC regulator translates into a large power dissipation within the Vcc regulator. There are several
techniques that can significantly reduce this bias regulator power dissipation. Figure 20 and Figure 21 depict two
methods to bias the IC from the output voltage. In each case the internal Vcc regulator is used to initially bias the
VCC pin. After the output voltage is established, the VCC pin potential is raised above the nominal 7V regulation
level, which effectively disables the internal VCC regulator. The voltage applied to the VCC pin should never
exceed 14V. The VCC voltage should never be larger than the VIN voltage.

PCB LAYOUT AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS

The circuit in Figure 9 serves as both a block diagram of the LM5574 and a typical application board schematic
for the LM5574. In a buck regulator there are two loops where currents are switched very fast. The first loop
starts from the input capacitors, to the regulator VIN pin, to the regulator SW pin, to the inductor then out to the
load. The second loop starts from the output capacitor ground, to the regulator PGND pins, to the regulator IS
pins, to the diode anode, to the inductor and then out to the load. Minimizing the loop area of these two loops
reduces the stray inductance and minimizes noise and possible erratic operation. A ground plane in the PC
board is recommended as a means to connect the input filter capacitors to the output filter capacitors and the
PGND pins of the regulator. Connect all of the low power ground connections (CSS, RT, CRAMP) directly to the
regulator AGND pin. Connect the AGND and PGND pins together through the topside copper trace. Place
several vias in this trace to the ground plane.
The two highest power dissipating components are the re-circulating diode and the LM5574 regulator IC. The
easiest method to determine the power dissipated within the LM5574 is to measure the total conversion losses
(Pin – Pout) then subtract the power losses in the Schottky diode, output inductor and snubber resistor. An
approximation for the Schottky diode loss is P = (1-D) x Iout x Vfwd. An approximation for the output inductor
power is P = IOUT2 x R x 1.1, where R is the DC resistance of the inductor and the 1.1 factor is an approximation
for the AC losses. If a snubber is used, an approximation for the damping resistor power dissipation is P = Vin2 x
Fsw x Csnub, where Fsw is the switching frequency and Csnub is the snubber capacitor.
The most significant variables that affect the power dissipated by the LM5574 are the output current, input
voltage and operating frequency. The power dissipated while operating near the maximum output current and
maximum input volatge can be appreciable. The operating frequency of the LM5574 evaluation board has been
designed for 300kHz. When operating at 0.5A output current with a 70V input the power dissipation of the
LM5574 regulator is approximately 0.6W.
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the LM5574 will vary with the application. The most significant
variables are the area of copper in the PC board, and the amount of forced air cooling provided. The junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance of the LM5574 mounted in the evaluation board varies from 90°C/W with no airflow to
60°C/W with 900 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute). With a 25°C ambient temperature and no airflow, the predicted
junction temperature for the LM5574 will be 25 + ((90 x 0.6) = 79°C. If the evaluation board is operated at 0.5A
output current, 70V input voltage and high ambient temperature for a prolonged period of time the thermal
shutdown protection within the IC may activate. The IC will turn off allowing the junction to cool, followed by
restart with the soft-start capacitor reset to zero.
