8.3.4.1 Slew Rate (dVdt) and Inrush Current Control

During hot-plug events or while trying to charge a large output capacitance at start-up, there can be a large inrush current. If the inrush current is not managed properly, it can damage the input connectors or cause the system power supply to droop leading to unexpected restarts elsewhere in the system or both. The inrush current during turn on is directly proportional to the load capacitance and rising slew rate. Use Equation 3 to find the slew rate (SR) required to limit the inrush current (IINRUSH) for a given load capacitance (COUT):

Equation 3. SR (V/ms)=IINRUSH (mA)COUT (µF) 

A capacitor can be connected to the dVdt pin to control the rising slew rate and lower the inrush current during turn on. Use Equation 4 to calulate the required CdVdt capacitance to produce a given slew rate.

Equation 4. CdVdt (pF)=3300SR (V/ms) 

The fastest output slew rate is achieved by leaving the dVdt pin open.

Note:

For CdVdt > 10 nF, TI recommends to add a 100-Ω resistor in series with the capacitor on the dVdt pin.
