SLVSCI3E April 2014 – July 2022 TPS22965-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
When the switch is enabled, the output capacitors must be charged up from 0 V to the set value (3.3 V in this example). This charge arrives in the form of inrush current. Use the following equation to calculate inrush current.
where
The TPS22965x-Q1 offers adjustable rise time for VOUT. This feature allows the user to control the inrush current during turn-on. The appropriate rise time can be calculated using the design requirements and the inrush current equation. See Equation 4 and Equation 5.
To ensure an inrush current of less than 400 mA, choose a CT value that yields a rise time of more than 181.5 µs. See the oscilloscope captures in the Application Curves section for an example of how the CT capacitor can be used to reduce inrush current.
