PRODUCTION DATA.
The soft start feature allows the power converter output to gradually reach the initial steady-state output voltage, thereby reducing start-up stresses and current surges. At power on, after the VCC and input undervoltage lockout thresholds are satisfied, an internal 10-µA current source charges an external capacitor connected to the SS pin. The capacitor voltage ramps up slowly and limits the COMP pin voltage and the switch current.
