Programmable Soft-Start

The TPS7A74 features a programmable, monotonic, voltage-controlled soft-start that is set with an external capacitor (CSS). This feature is important for many applications because the soft-start eliminates power-up initialization problems when powering FPGAs, DSPs, or other processors. The controlled voltage ramp of the output also reduces peak inrush current during start-up, minimizing start-up transient events to the input power bus.

To achieve a linear and monotonic soft-start, the error amplifier tracks the voltage ramp of the external soft-start capacitor until the voltage exceeds the internal reference. The soft-start ramp time depends on the soft-start charging current (ISS), soft-start capacitance (CSS), and the internal reference voltage (VREF). Equation 4 calculates the soft-start ramp time.

Equation 4. GUID-8D02C33A-C954-4036-A2AF-A0489ECBE8F6-low.gif

If large output capacitors are used, the device current limit (ICL) and the output capacitor may set the start-up time. The start-up time is given by Equation 5 in this case.

Equation 5. GUID-1F5021B8-177B-413B-B2C1-1FDDE6E4D59A-low.gif

where:

  • VOUT(nom) is the nominal output voltage
  • COUT is the output capacitance
  • ICL(min) is the minimum current limit for the device

In applications where monotonic start up is required, the soft-start time given by Equation 4 must be set greater than Equation 5.

The maximum recommended soft-start capacitor is 15 nF. Larger soft-start capacitors can be used and do not damage the device; however, the soft-start capacitor discharge circuit may not be able to fully discharge the soft-start capacitor when enabled. Soft-start capacitors larger than 15 nF can be a problem in applications where the enable pin must be rapidly pulsed and the device must soft-start from ground. CSS must be low-leakage; X7R, X5R, or C0G dielectric materials are preferred. Table 7-2 lists suggested soft-start capacitor values.

GUID-20220316-SS0I-N31W-TXWW-MGBTGQWMBZRD-low.gif, where tSS(s) = soft-start time in seconds.

Another option to set the start-up rate is to use a feedforward capacitor; see the Pros and Cons of Using a Feedforward Capacitor with a Low-Dropout Regulator application report for more information.
