6.4.7 Soft-Start

The soft-start feature allows the regulator to gradually reach the initial steady state operating point, thus reducing start-up stresses and surges. The internal soft-start current source, set to 10µA, gradually increases the voltage of an external soft-start capacitor connected to the SS pin. The soft-start capacitor voltage connects to the reference input of the error amplifier. Implement various sequencing and tracking schemes using external circuits that limit or clamp the voltage level of the SS pin.

In the event a fault is detected (over-temperature, VCC UVLO, SD) the soft-start capacitor discharges. When the fault condition is no longer present, a new soft-start sequence commences.
