During start-up, as the output capacitor charges, the voltage difference across the internal FET decreases, and the power dissipated decreases as well. Typical ramp-up of output voltage V(OUT) with inrush current limit of 1.2 A and power dissipated in the device during start-up is shown in Figure 56. The average power dissipated in the device during start-up is equal to area of triangular plot (red curve in Figure 57) averaged over tdVdT.
V(IN) = 12 V | C(dVdT) = 1 nF | C(OUT) = 100 µF |
V(IN) = 12 V | C(dVdT) = 1 nF | C(OUT) = 100 µF |
For the TPS25944, TPS25944 device, the inrush current is determined as shown in Equation 16.
Power dissipation during start-up is given by Equation 17.
Equation 17 assumes that load does not draw any current until the output voltage has reached its final value.
