PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS51386 has an internal 1-ms soft start, and also an external SS pin is provided for setting higher soft-start time if needed. When the EN pin becomes high, the soft-start function begins ramping up the reference voltage to the PWM comparator.
If the application needs a larger soft-start time, this soft-start time can be set by connecting a capacitor on SS pin. When the EN pin becomes high, the soft-start charge current (ISS) begins charging the external capacitor (CSS) connected between SS and AGND. The devices tracks the lower of the internal soft-start voltage or the external soft-start voltage as the reference. The equation for the soft-start time (TSS) is shown in the following equation:
