6.3.3 Programmable Soft-Start (NR/SS Pin)

The device features a programmable, monotonic, current-controlled, soft-start circuit that uses the CNR/SS capacitor to minimize inrush current into the output capacitor and load during start-up. This circuitry can also reduce the start-up time for some applications that require the output voltage to reach at least 90% of the set value for fast system start up. See the Soft-Start, Noise Reduction (NR/SS Pin), and Power-Good (PG Pin) section for more details.
