    摘要: A startup circuit for a power converter including an amplifier circuit, a comparator, and startup logic. The power converter includes an error amplifier that compares an output sense signal with a startup reference signal and that provides a compensation signal. The amplifier circuit charges the startup reference signal to a predetermined reference level based on a second reference signal in response to a start signal. The comparator determines when the compensation signal reaches a predetermined ramp level and asserts a startup complete signal indicative thereof. The startup logic provides the start signal and provides an output enable signal in response to the startup complete signal. The output enable signal enables output switching to initiate normal regulation operation of the output voltage. In one embodiment, the predetermined ramp level is approximately the center voltage of a sawtooth regulation waveform used for PWM modulation.

    摘要: An IC including a margining control amplifier circuit, first and second offset pins, a margining control pin, select logic, and a mirror amplifier circuit. The margining control amplifier circuit drives current at an output to control voltage at an input based on a reference voltage. The first and second offset pins are provided to couple an external margining voltage divider. The margining control pin has at least two states including an up state and a down state. The select logic selectively switches the output of the margining control amplifier circuit between the first and second offset pins and selectively switches the input of the margining control amplifier circuit between the second and first offset pins based on a state of the margining control pin. The mirror amplifier circuit mirrors voltage across the first and second offset pins across a first margining resistor.
