PRODUCTION DATA.
The soft-start feature allows the power converter to gradually reach the initial steady state operating point, thus reducing start-up stresses and surges. The two LP3907 buck converters have a soft-start circuit that limits in-rush current during start-up. During start-up the switch current limit is increased in steps. Soft start is activated only if EN goes from logic low to logic high after VIN reaches 2.8V. Soft start is implemented by increasing switch current limit in steps of 180 mA, 300 mA, and 720 mA for Buck1; 161 mA, 300 mA, and 536 mA for Buck2 (typical switch current limit). The start-up time thereby depends on the output capacitor and load current demanded at start-up.
