PWM Controlling
When the VVCC exceeds the on-threshold voltage, the
IC starts the Soft Start mode (see Figure 10).

Startup Phase
The function is realized by an internal Soft Start
resistor, an current sink and a counter. And the
amplitude of the current sink is controlled by the
counter (see Figure 11).

Soft Start Circuit
After the IC is switched on, the VSFOFTS voltage is
controlled such that the voltage is increased step-
wisely (32 steps) with the increase of the counts. The
Soft Start counter would send a signal to the current
sink control in every 600us such that the current sink

In the Startup Phase, the IC provides a Soft Start
period to control the maximum primary current by
means of a duty cycle limitation. The Soft Start function
