SLVSG05A October 2021 – December 2021 TPS22998
PRODUCTION DATA
When the switch enables, the charge up the output capacitance from 0 V to the set value (1.8 V in this example). This charge arrives in the form of inrush current. Calculate inrush current using Equation 1.
Where:
The TPS22998 offers an adjustable rise time for VOUT, allowing the user to control the inrush current during turn on. Calculate the appropriate rise time using the design requirements and the inrush current equation as shown below.
To ensure an inrush current of less than 1 A, a CT setting that yields a rise time of more than 677 µs must be chosen. By pulling the CT pin high, a rise time of 900 μs is selected, limiting the inrush current to below 1 A.
