PRODUCTION DATA.
Use Equation 9 to determine how much inrush current is caused by the CL capacitor.
where
The appropriate rise time can be calculated using the design requirements and the inrush current equation. As the rise time (measured from 10% to 90% of VOUT) is calculated, this is accounted in the dVOUT parameter (80% of VOUT = 4 V) as shown in Equation 10.
To ensure an inrush current of less than 400 mA, choose a CT value that yields a rise time of more than 220 μs. Refering to the Table 2 at VIN = 5 V, CT = 220 μF provides a typical rise time of 650 μs. Adding this rise time and voltage into Equation 9, yields Equation 12.
This inrush current can be seen in the Application Curves section. An appropriate CL value must be placed on VOUT such that the IMAX and IPLS specifications of the device are not violated.
