7.3.5 Soft-Start Time

The device has an internal pullup current source of 5 µA that charges an external slow-start capacitor to implement a slow-start time. Equation 2 shows how to select a slow-start capacitor based on an expected slow-start time. The voltage reference (VREF) is 0.8 V and the slow-start charge current (Iss) is 5 µA. The soft-start circuit requires 1 nF per 200 µs to be connected at the SS pin. A 1-ms soft-start time is implemented for all converters fitting 4.7 nF to the relevant pins.
