turned on after entering this mode, it will initiate a normal

start-up sequence with soft-start the next time the CONTROL

pin reaches 5.8 V. In the worst-case, the delay from remote-on

to start-up can be equal to the full discharge/charge cycle time

of the CONTROL pin, which is approximately 125 ms for a

47

mF CONTROL pin capacitor. This reduced consumption

remote-off mode can eliminate expensive and unreliable in-line

mechanical switches. It also allows for microprocessor

controlled turn-on and turn-off sequences that may be required

in certain applications such as inkjet and laser printers.

Soft-Start

The 17 ms soft-start sweeps the peak drain current and switching

frequency linearly from minimum to maximum value by operating

through the low frequency PWM mode and the variable

frequency mode before entering the full frequency mode. In

addition to start-up, soft-start is also activated at each restart

attempt during auto-restart and when restarting after being in

hysteretic regulation of CONTROL pin voltage (V

remote-off or thermal shutdown conditions. This effectively

minimizes current and voltage stresses on the output MOSFET,
