PRODUCTION DATA.
To minimize inrush current during start up, the device has a soft start. When the EN pin is set high, after a thermal shutdown or after the undervoltage lockout threshold is exceeded, a soft-start cycle is started and the input current is ramped until the output voltage reaches regulation. The device ramps up the output voltage in a controlled manner, even if a large capacitor is connected at the output. During soft-start, as long as the output voltage is below the power good threshold, the input current limit is reduced to typically 1A. The soft-start time is defined by the current limit during the soft-start phase along with the load current, output capacitance and the input to output voltage ratio.
