Both converters have implemented soft-start functions. When each converter is enabled, the implemented switch current limit ramps up slowly to its nominal programmed value in about 1 ms. Soft-start is implemented to limit the input current during start-up to avoid high peak currents at the battery which could interfere with other systems connected to the same battery. Without soft-start, the high input peak current could trigger the implemented switch current limit, which can lead to a significant voltage drops across the series resistance of the battery and its connections.
