6.3.7 External Soft Start

The LMR14050 has soft-start pin for programmable output ramp up time. The soft-start feature is used to prevent inrush current impacting the LMR14050 and the load when power is first applied. The soft-start time can be programed by connecting an external capacitor CSS from SS pin to GND. An internal current source (typically ISS = 3 μA) charges CSS and generates a ramp from 0V to VREF. The soft-start time can be calculated by Equation 4:

Equation 4. LMR14050

The internal soft-start resets while device is disabled or in thermal shutdown.
