PRODUCTION DATA
The SS/TR pin of the TPS62147, TPS62148 can be used for tracking as well as for setting the soft-start time. The TPS62147, TPS62148 has one GND terminal which is used for the power ground as well as for the analog ground connection. While starting the device with a load current above approximately 1 A, the noise on the GND connection can lead to a soft-start time shorter than calculated. There is an external work around as given below.
Adding a 10 kΩ resistor filters the noise on the GND connection and keeps the soft-start time at the value calculated.
