8.3.2 Capacitive Load Driving

Certain end equipment like automotive power distribution unit and zonal controller power different loads including other ECUs. These ECUs can have large input capacitances. If power to the ECUs is switched on in uncontrolled way, large inrush currents can occur and potentially damaging the power FETs.

To limit the inrush current during capacitive load switching, the following system design techniques can be used with TPS4812-Q1 device.
