7.3.2 Turn-On Slew-Rate Control

The turn-on slew rate of the GaN power FET is programmed to one of four discrete settings by the resistance between the RDRV and AGND pins. The slew-rate setting is determined one time during AUX power up when the AUX voltage goes above the AUX power-on reset voltage. The slew-rate setting determination time is not specified but is around 0.4 µs.

Table 7-1 shows the recommended typical resistance programming value for the four slew rate settings and the typical turn-on slew rate at each setting. As noted in the table, an open-circuit connection is acceptable for programming slew-rate setting 0 and a short-circuit connection (RDRV shorted to AGND) is acceptable for programming slew-rate setting 3.
