SLVSFT0A July 2021 – December 2021 TPS22992
PRODUCTION DATA
When the switch is enabled, the output capacitance must be charged up from 0 V to the set value (5 V in this example). This charge arrives in the form of inrush current. Inrush current can be calculated using the equation below.
Where:
The TPS22992 offers an adjustable rise time for VOUT, allowing 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 as shown below.
To ensure an inrush current of less than 200 mA, a CT value that yields a rise time of more than 1175 µs must be chosen. See the oscilloscope captures in the Application Performance Plots section for an example of how the CT capacitor can be used to reduce inrush current.
