Soft-Start Capacitor

A capacitor connected between SS/TR pin and GND allows a user-programmable start-up slope of the output voltage.

GUID-F9DB626F-84EF-477B-9BE1-BDE1B6AC71F8-low.gifFigure 8-2 Soft-Start Operation Simplified Schematic

An internal constant current source is provided to charge the external capacitance. The capacitor required for a given soft-start ramp time is given by:

Equation 11. GUID-1D471347-05D8-4463-8839-005ACB11EDFA-low.gif

where

  • CSS is the capacitance required at the SS/TR pin.
  • TSS is the desired soft-start ramp time.
  • ISS is the SS/TR source current, see the Electrical Characteristics.
  • VREF is the feedback regulation voltage divided by tracking gain (VFB/0.75), see the Electrical Characteristics.

The fastest achievable typical ramp time is 150 µs even if the external Css capacitance is lower than 680 pF or the pin is open.
