The SM8172A is a 2-output power supply IC that incorporates a step-down DC/DC converter and series regu-
lator with built-in reset circuit. The DC/DC converter is a PWM-type synchronous rectifier. The SM8172A has
soft start, overcurrent detection, supply undervoltage lockout, and thermal shutdown circuits built-in, making it
ideal as a supply voltage source IC for large-scale LSIs that operate from a 5V supply.

*1. The soft start time is the interval during which the output current is limited internally in the IC, and is different from the DC/DC converter output raise
time. If the maximum load current is output after soft start time startup, the output voltage does not fall. But, if the maximum load current is output
before soft start time startup, it should be careful that the output voltage may fall.

The LX starts the switching operation after 42µs from ENDCO rising. After switching operation startup, the output current limit operates like linear
increase (load current = 0A). The DC/DC converter output voltage rise time varies with the load current, output capacitance, and other conditions.
