PRODUCTION DATA.
The charger automatically soft starts the charger regulation current every time the charger goes into fast charge to ensure there is no overshoot or stress on the output capacitors or the power converter. The soft start consists of stepping-up the charge regulation current into eight evenly divided steps up to the programmed charge current. Each step lasts around 1.6 ms, for a typical rise time of 12.8 ms. No external components are needed for this function.
