6.3.8 Noise Reduction and Soft-Start Capacitor (NR/SS)

A capacitor connected to this pin reduces the low frequency noise of the module and sets the soft-start time. The larger the capacitor, the lower the noise and the longer the start-up time of the module. A 470nF capacitor is typically connected to this pin for a start-up time of 5ms, although longer and shorter start-up times can be used. During soft start with a light load, the device skips switching pulses as needed to not discharge the output voltage. The device can start into a prebiased output voltage.

The device achieves low noise by adding an R-C filter to the reference voltage, as shown in Section 6.2. During start-up, the NR/SS capacitor is charged with a constant current of 75µA (typical) to 0.8V. Larger NR/SS capacitors provide for lower low frequency noise. The maximum NR/SS cap is 3.3µF for a start-up time of 35ms. The minimum start-up time is set internally to 0.7ms, which occurs when there is a small NR/SS capacitor or no NR/SS capacitor.
