7.4.3 Soft Start and Tracking Function (SS)

When EN is set high for device operation the LMZ21701 start switching after 50-μs delay, and the output voltage starts rising. The VOUT rising slope is controlled by the external capacitor CSS connected to the softstart (SS) pin. The Nano Module has a 2.9 μA constant current source internally connected to the SS pin to program the softstart time TSS:

Equation 1. TSS = CSS × 1.25 V / 2.9 μA

The soft-start capacitor voltage is reset to zero volts when EN is pulled low and when the thermal protection is active.

If tracking function is desired, the SS pin can be used to track external voltage. If the applied external tracking voltage is between 100 mV and 1.2 V, the FB voltage will follow SS according to the following relationship:

Equation 2. VFB = 0.64 x VSS
