PRODUCTION DATA
Each output of the device features a user-adjustable, monotonic, voltage-controlled soft-start that is set with an external capacitor (CNR/SS). This soft-start eliminates power-up initialization problems.
The output voltage (VOUTx) rises proportionally to VNR/SS during start-up. As such, the time required for VNR/SS to reach the nominal value determines the rise time of VOUTx (start-up time).
The soft-start ramp time depends on the soft-start charging current (INR/SS), the soft-start capacitance (CNR/SS), and the internal reference (VNR/SS). Equation 5 calculates the approximate soft-start ramp time (tSS):
Values for the soft-start charging currents and the device internal RNR/SS are provided in the Electrical Characteristics table.
