14.6 CONFIGURING THE DC-DC CONVERTERS

The configuration of the DC-DC converters is described in the following sections. Some of the control

fields form part of the Custom Mode configuration settings and therefore will not require to be set in

software in some applications.

14.6.1

DC-DC CONVERTER ENABLE

The DC-DC Converters can be enabled in software using the register fields defined in Table 71. All

DC-DC converters include a soft-start feature that helps to reduce the inductor current at start up. In

order to further reduce supply in-rush current, individual converters should be programmed to start in

different time slots within the start-up sequence.

In the WM8352 ACTIVE state, the DC-DC Converters can be enabled in software using the

DCn_ENA bits. Setting these bits whilst in the Pre-Active state (see Figure 65) will not immediately

enable the corresponding DC-DC converter; these bits will only become effective once the WM8352

has reached the ACTIVE state.

Each Converter may be programmed to switch on in a selected timeslot within the start-up sequence.

The WM8352 will set the DCn_ENA field for any DC-DC converter that is enabled during the start-up

sequence. Note that setting the DCn_ENSLOT fields in software is only relevant to the Development

Mode, as these fields are assigned preset values in each of the Custom Modes.

Each Converter may be programmed to switch off in a selected timeslot within the shutdown

sequence. If a Converter is not allocated to one of the 14 shutdown timeslots, it will be disabled when

the WM8352 enters the OFF state.
