PRODUCTION DATA
After enabling the device, there is an enable delay (tdelay) before the device starts switching. After the enable delay, if the SS pin is left not connected, an internal soft start-up circuitry controls the output voltage ramp up with a period of 1.5ms (tRamp) for TPS6286A06, and with 500us for TP6286A08, TPS6286A10, TPS6286B08, and TPS6286B10. Leaving the SS pin disconnected provides the fastest start-up ramp. Soft start avoids excessive inrush current and creates a smooth output voltage ramp up while also preventing excessive voltage drops of primary cells and rechargeable batteries with high internal impedance. An external soft-start capacitor connected from SS to GND is charged by an internal 20µA current source during soft start until reaching the reference voltage of 0.9V. The capacitance required to set a certain ramp-time (tRAMP) therefore is:
If the device is set to shutdown (EN = GND), undervoltage lockout, or thermal shutdown, an internal resistor pulls the SS pin to GND. Returning from those states causes a new start-up sequence.
The device is able to start into a prebiased output capacitor. The device starts with the applied bias voltage and ramps the output voltage to the nominal value.
