9.3.7 External Soft Start and Prebiased Soft Start

The SS pin of TPS62932, TPS62933, and TPS62933F are used to minimize inrush current when driving capacitive load. The devices use the lower voltage of the internal voltage reference, VREF, or the SS pin voltage as the reference voltage and regulates the output accordingly. A capacitor on the SS pin to ground implements a soft-start time. The device has an internal pullup current source that charges the external soft-start capacitor. Use Equation 6 to calculate the soft-start time (tSS, 0% to 100%) and soft-start capacitor (CSS).

Equation 6. GUID-20210125-CA0I-WPFT-JBXH-WMTC2HMWNKJ2-low.gif

where

  • VREF is 0.8 V (the internal reference voltage).
  • ISS is 5.5 µA (typical), the internal pullup current.

If the output capacitor is prebiased at start-up, the devices initiate switching and start ramping up only after the internal reference voltage becomes greater than the feedback voltage, VFB. This scheme makes sure that the converters ramp up smoothly into regulation point.

A resistor divider connected to the SS pin can implement voltage tracking of the other power rail.
