Setting Output Voltage Rise Time (tR)

For a successful design, the junction temperature of device must be kept below the absolute maximum rating during both dynamic (start-up) and steady-state conditions. Dynamic power stresses often are an order of magnitude greater than the static stresses, so it is important to determine the right start-up time and inrush current limit required with system capacitance to avoid thermal shutdown during start-up.

The slew rate (SR) needed to achieve the desired output rise time can be calculated as:

Equation 12. S R V m s = V I N V t R m s = 12 V 20 m s = 0.6 V m s

The CdVdt needed to achieve this slew rate can be calculated as:

Equation 13. C d V d t p F = 2000 S R V m s = 2000 0.6 = 3333 p F

Choose the nearest standard capacitor value as 3300pF.

For this slew rate, the inrush current can be calculated as:

Equation 14. I I N R U S H m A = S R V m s × C O U T μ F = 0.6 × 470 = 282 m A

The average power dissipation inside the part during inrush can be calculated as:

Equation 15. P D I N R U S H W = I I N R U S H A × V I N V 2 = 0.282 × 12 2 = 1.69 W

For the given power dissipation, the thermal shutdown time of the device must be greater than the ramp-up time tR to avoid start-up failure. Figure 8-3 shows the thermal shutdown limit, for 1.69W of power, the shutdown time is more than 10s which is very large as compared to tR = 20ms. Therefore, it is safe to use 20ms as the startup time for this application.
