Application Examples for Fuller Exploitation of Power Supply Functions
A number of application examples are briefly described below.
1. Soft start
A soft start is a start method in which the PWM pulse width is gradually increased when the power
supply is activated. This prevents the stress on the transformer and switch element caused by a rapid
increase in the PWM pulse width, and also prevents overshoot when the secondary-side output voltage
rises. The circuit diagram is shown in figure 14.

Figure 14 Circuit Diagram for Soft Start
Operation: In this circuit, error amp output source current I
O
(800
μ
A typ.) gradually raises the switch
element current detection level, using a voltage slope that charges soft start capacitance C
ST
. When the
voltage at each node is at the value shown in parentheses in the figure, the soft start ends. The soft start
time is thus given by the following formula:

Note:
During a soft start, since PWM pulses are not output for a while after the IC starts operating, there
is a lack of energy during this time, and intermittent mode may be entered. In this case, the
capacitance between Vref and GND should be increased to around 4.7
