7.3.4 Soft-Start Capacitor

Determine the soft-start capacitance with the following relationship:

Equation 2. LMZ10503EXT eq_4_SNVS610.gif

where

  • VFB is the internal reference voltage (nominally 0.8 V),
  • ISS is the soft-start charging current (nominally 2 µA)
  • and CSS is the external soft-start capacitance.

Thus, the required soft-start capacitor per unit output voltage start-up time is given by:

Equation 3. LMZ10503EXT eq_5_SNVS610.gif

For example, a 4-ms soft-start time will yield a 10-nF capacitance. The minimum soft-start capacitance is 680 pF.
