Application Information
Figure 3. Delayed Startup
Figure 4. Undervoltage Lockout for Buck Regulator
DELAYED STARTUP
The circuit in Figure 3 uses the the ON /OFF pin to provide a time delay between the time the
input voltage is applied and the time the output voltage comes up (only the circuitry pertaining
to the delayed start up is shown). As the input voltage rises, the charging of capacitor C1 pulls
the ON /OFF pin high, keeping the regulator off. Once the input voltage reaches its final value
and the capacitor stops charging, and resistor R2 pulls the ON /OFF pin low, thus allowing the
circuit to start switching. Resistor R1 is included to limit the maximum voltage applied to the ON
/OFF pin (maximum of 25V), reduces power supply noise sensitivity, and also limits the capacitor,
C1, discharge current. When high input ripple voltage exists, avoid long delay time, because this
ripple can be coupled into the ON /OFF pin and cause problems. This delayed startup feature is
useful in situations where the input power source is limited in the amount of current it can
deliver. It allows the input voltage to rise to a higher voltage before the regulator starts
operating. Buck regulators require less input current at higher input voltages.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Some applications require the regulator to remain off until the input voltage reaches a
predetermined voltage. An undervoltage lockout feature applied to a buck regulator is shown in
Figure 4, while Figure 5 and 6 applies the same feature to an inverting circuit. The circuit in Figure
5 features a constant threshold voltage for turn on and turn off (zener voltage plus
approximately one volt). If hysteresis is needed, the circuit in Figure 6 has a turn ON voltage
which is different than the turn OFF voltage. The amount of hysteresis is approximately equal to
the value of the output voltage. If zener voltages greater than 25V are used, an additional 47 k
resistor is needed from the ON /OFF pin to the ground pin to stay within the 25V maximum
limit of the ON /OFF pin.
INVERTING REGULATOR
The circuit in Figure 7 converts a positive input voltage to a negative output voltage with a
common ground. The circuit operates by bootstrapping the regulator’s ground pin to the
negative output voltage, then grounding the feedback pin, the regulator senses the inverted
output voltage and regulates it.
This circuit has an ON/OFF threshold of approximately 13V.

CBM2596-XX
OPERATION INSTRUCTION
This example uses the CBM2596-5.0 to generate a −5V output, but other output voltages are
possible by selecting other output voltage versions, including the adjustable version. Since this
regulator topology can produce an output voltage that is either greater than or less than the
input voltage, the maximum output current greatly depends on both the input and output
voltage. The curve shown in Figure 8 provides a guide as to the amount of output load current
possible for the different input and output voltage conditions.
The maximum voltage appearing across the regulator is the absolute sum of the input and
output voltage, and this must be limited to a maximum of 40V. For example, when converting
+20V to −12V, the regulator would see 32V between the input pin and ground pin. The
CBM2596 has a maximum input voltage spec of 40V.
Additional diodes are required in this regulator configuration. Diode D1 is used to isolate
input voltage ripple or noise from coupling through the CIN capacitor to the output, under light
or no load conditions. Also, this diode isolation changes the topology to closley resemble a buck
configuration thus providing good closed loop stability. A Schottky diode is recommended for
low input voltages, (because of its lower voltage drop) but for higher input voltages, a fast
recovery diode could be used.
Without diode D3, when the input voltage is first applied, the charging current of CIN can
pull the output positive by several volts for a short period of time. Adding D3 prevents the
output from going positive by more than a diode voltage.

CBM2596-XX
OPERATION INSTRUCTION
Because of differences in the operation of the inverting regulator, the standard design
procedure is not used to select the inductor value. In the majority of designs, a 33µH, 3.5A
inductor is the best choice. Capacitor selection can also be narrowed down to just a few values.
Using the values shown in Figure 7will provide good results in the majority of inverting designs.
This type of inverting regulator can require relatively large amounts of input current when
starting up, even with light loads. Input currents as high as the CBM2596 current limit (approx
4.5A) are needed for at least 2ms or more, until the output reaches its nominal output voltage.
The actual time depends on the output voltage and the size of the output capacitor. Input power
sources that are current limited or sources that can not deliver these currents without getting
loaded down, may not work correctly. Because of the relatively high startup currents required by
the inverting topology, the delayed startup feature (C1, R1 and R2) shown in Figure 7 is
recommended. By delaying the regulator startup, the input capacitor is allowed to charge up to a
higher voltage before the switcher begins operating. A portion of the high input current needed
for startup is now supplied by the input capacitor (CIN). For severe start up conditions, the input
capacitor can be made much larger than normal.
INVERTING REGULATOR SHUTDOWN METHODS
To use the ON /OFF pin in a standard buck configuration is simple, pull it below 1.3V (@25℃,
referenced to ground) to turn regulator ON, pull it above 1.3V to shut the regulator OFF. With
the inverting configuration, some level shifting is required, because the ground pin of the
regulator is no longer at ground, but is now setting at the negative output voltage level. Two
different shutdown methods for inverting regulators are shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.
