8.2.2.2.7 Soft-Start Capacitor

The soft-start feature of the LM656x0 allows the converter to gradually reach the steady-state operating point, thus reducing start-up stresses and inrush current. If the SS pin is left open, the soft-start time defaults to 5.3ms. Alternatively, set a soft-start time greater than 5.3ms with a capacitor from SS to PGND. Use Equation 56 to calculate the SS capacitance for the 6ms time specified in this example. Choose a standard value for CSS of 100nF.

Equation 56. C S S n F = 16.7 × t S S m s = 16.7 × 6 m s = 100.2 n F
