8.1.2.1.1 Inrush Current

Inrush current is defined as the current into the LDO at the IN pin during start-up. Inrush current then consists primarily of the sum of load current and the current used to charge the output capacitor. This current is difficult to measure because the input capacitor must be removed, which is not recommended. However, this soft-start current can be estimated by Equation 8:

Equation 8. GUID-DF677233-66B5-42CA-993C-63E791559002-low.gif

where:

  • VOUT(t) is the instantaneous output voltage of the turnon ramp
  • dVOUT(t) / dt is the slope of the VOUT ramp
  • RLOAD is the resistive load impedance
