6.3.4 Soft Start and Prebiased Soft Start

The TPS56837H and TPS56837HA have adjustable soft-start time that can be set by connecting a capacitor between SS and AGND. When the EN pin becomes high, the soft-start charge current (ISS) begins charging the external capacitor (CSS) connected between SS and AGND. Equation 2 shows the equation for the soft-start time (TSS).

Equation 2. Tss=Css × VREF Iss

If the external capacitor (CSS) has pre-stored voltage at start-up, the device initially discharge the external capacitor voltage to lower voltage then charge again to prevent inrush start-up.

If the output capacitor is prebiased at start-up, the device initiates switching and starts ramping up only after the internal reference voltage becomes greater than the feedback voltage VFB. This scheme makes sure that the converters ramp up smoothly into regulation point.
