PRODUCTION DATA
A capacitance connected between the SS/TR pin and AGND allows a user-programmable start-up slope of the output voltage. A constant-current source supplies 2.5 µA to charge the external capacitance. The capacitor required for a given soft-start ramp time for the output voltage is given by:

DC bias effect: High capacitance ceramic capacitors have a DC bias effect, which has a strong influence on the final effective capacitnace. Therefore, selecting the right capacitor value requires careful choice. Package size and voltage rating in combination with delectric material are responsible for differences betweeen the rated capacitor value and the effective capacitance.
