6.3.8 Soft Start (SS-pin)

At start-up during the START state (see Functional State Diagram) the device regulates the error amplifiers reference to the SS-pin voltage or the ATRK/DTRK-pin voltage, whichever is lower. The regulated reference results in a gradual rise of the output voltage VOUT. During soft start the device forces diode emulation mode (DEM) until the soft start done signal is generated.

The external soft start capacitor is first discharged to the VSS-DIS voltage, then charged by the ISS current and the soft start done signal is generated when VSS-DONE is reached. The soft start time (tSS) varies with the input supply voltage as VOUT is equal to VI at startup. In figure Soft Start at the time t1 the soft start current is activated. At t2 the soft start voltage reached the VI voltage level and VOUT starts to rise until VOUT reaches the programmed VOUT value at t3. The soft start done signal is generated at t4 when the SS-pin voltage reaches VSS-DONE. The SS-pin voltage continues to rise until VVCC is reached where the soft start current is deactivated.
