9.2.2.3.3.3 Soft-Start Capacitor

A capacitor connected between SS/TR pin and GND allows a user-programmable start-up slope of the output voltage.

An internal constant current source is provided to charge the external capacitance. The capacitor required for a given soft-start ramp time is given by:

Equation 18. C S S = T S S × I S S V R E F

where

  • CSS is the capacitance required at the SS/TR pin.
  • TSS is the desired soft-start ramp time.
  • ISS is the SS/TR source current, see the Electrical Characteristics.
  • VREF is the feedback regulation voltage divided by tracking gain (VFB / 0.75); see the Electrical Characteristics.

The fastest achievable typical ramp time is 150 µs, even if the external Css capacitance is lower than 680 pF or the pin is open.
