A DA pin current comparator extends reset and watchdog timer. Both channels are synchronized the oscillator cycle until the catch diode current is below to a single oscil ator with frequency set by RT. Operation can the valley current limit. Both the peak and valley current be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram. limits help to control the inductor current in fault condi- tions such as shorted output with high VIN.

This current foldback helps to control the inductor regulator that operates from the V current during start-up and overload. IN pin. The start of each oscillator cycle sets an SR latch and turns on the internal The NPN power switch driver operates from either the VIN NPN power switch. An amplifier and comparator monitor pin or the BST pin. An external capacitor and diode are the current flowing between the VIN and SW1 pins, turning used to generate a voltage between the BST and SW pins. the switch off when this current reaches a level determined During the power-up of the LT3640, an internal 5mA current by the voltage at VC1 node. An error amplifier measures source charges the external BST capacitor. The regulator the output voltage through an external resistor divider tied starts switching when the (BST-SW) voltage reaches the to the FB1 pin and servos the VC1 node. The reference 2V threshold.
