PRODUCTION DATA
During start-up, as the output capacitor charges, the voltage drop as well as the power dissipated across the internal FET decreases. The average power dissipated in the device during start-up is calculated using equation 14
Where IINRUSH is the inrush current and is determined by Equation 15
Equation 14 assumes that the load does not draw any current (apart from the capacitor charging current) until the output voltage has reached its final value.
