Switching Power Supply Current-Limit Latchup(6 of 6)

On the Web

I have yet to find other information on the web about this problem.

References

For design, measurement, and analysis, two papers are recommended. The first, "Start-Up Transient of a DC-to-DC Converter Powered by a Current-Limited Source" discusses the problem, analysis and measurement techniques, along with solutions. The second "An Adaptive Start-Up Control Law for DC-to-DC Converters Powered From a Current- Limited Source" revisits the problem, including the shortcomings of previous solutions, and proposes an adaptive start-up approach. Other papers can be found in the timeline of key papers and in the bibliography.

Do not use this information for design without independent verification of the information.
