8.3.2 Soft Start Disconnect

The inrush current into the output capacitor (COUT) can be limited by placing a capacitor between the SS (Soft Start) pin and the drain of the hot swap MOSFET. In that case the inrush current can be computed using Equation 6.

Equation 6. TPS23523 tps23523_equation6.gif

Note that with most hot swap the CSS pin is tied simply to the gate pin, but this can interfere with performance during normal operation if transients or short circuits are encountered. In addition the CSS capacitor tends to pull up the gate during hot plug and cause shoot through current if it is always tied to the gate. For that reason the TPS23523 has a disconnect switch between the gate pin and the SS pin as well as a discharge resistor. During the initial hot plug and during the insertion delay the switch between SS and GATE is open and SS is being discharged to GND through a resistor. Then during start-up SS and GATE are connected to limit the slew rate. Once in normal operation the SS pin is not tied to GATE and it is not shorted to GND, which prevents it from interfering with the operation during transients.
