Setting the Startup Period, R
TIM
The startup period (t
START
) is adjustable from 0.45ms to
50ms. The adjustable startup period feature allows sys-
tems to be customized for MOSFET gate capacitance
and board capacitance (C
BOARD
). The startup period is
adjusted with the resistance connected from TIM to GND
(R
TIM
). R
TIM
must be between 4k& and 500k&. The
startup period has a default value of 9ms when TIM is left
floating. Calculate R
TIM
with the following equation:
where t
START
is the desired startup period.
Startup Sequence
There are two ways of completing the startup sequence.
Case A describes a startup sequence that slowly turns
on the MOSFETs by limiting the gate charge. Case B
uses the current-limiting feature and turns on the
MOSFETs as fast as possible while still preventing a high
inrush current. The output voltage ramp-up time (t
ON
) is
determined by the longer of the two timings, case A and
case B. Set the startup timer t
START
to be longer than t
ON
to guarantee enough time for the output voltage to settle.
Case A: Slow Turn-On (Without Current Limit)
There are two ways to turn on the MOSFETs without
reaching the fast-comparator current limit:
"  If the board capacitance (C
BOARD
) is small, the
inrush current is low.
"  If the gate capacitance is high, the MOSFETs turn
on slowly.
In both cases, the turn-on time is determined only by the
charge required to enhance the MOSFET. The small
gate-charging current of 100礎(chǔ) effectively limits the out-
put voltage dV/dt. Connecting an external capacitor
between GATE and GND extends turn-on time. The time
required to charge/discharge a MOSFET is as follows:
where:
C
GATE
is the external gate to ground capacitance
(Figure 4).
V
GATE
is the change in gate voltage.
Q
GATE
is the MOSFET total gate charge.
I
GATE
is the gate-charging/discharging current.
In this case, the inrush current depends on the MOSFET
gate-to-drain capacitance (C
rss
) plus any additional
capacitance from GATE to GND (C
GATE
), and on any
load current (I
LOAD
) present during the startup period.
Example: Charging and Discharging Times Using
the Fairchild FDB7030L MOSFET
If V
IN1
= 5V then GATE1 charges up to 10.4V (V
+
V
DRIVE
); therefore V
GATE
= 10.4V. The manufacturers
data sheet specifies that the FDB7030L has approxi-
mately 60nC of gate charge and C
rss
= 600pF. The
MAX5955/MAX5956 have a 100礎(chǔ) gate-charging cur-
rent and a 3mA strong discharging current.
