7.2.2.8 Soft-start Capacitor Selection

Use Equation 15 to calculate the soft-start capacitor value:

Equation 15. LMR14030

where

  • CSS = Soft-start capacitor value
  • ISS = Soft-start charging current (3 μA)
  • tSS = Desired soft-start time

For the desired soft-start time of 5 ms and soft-start charging current of 3.0 μA, Equation 15 yields a soft-start capacitor value of 20 nF, a standard 22 nF ceramic capacitor is used.
