The capacitor placed on the SS/REFIN pin can be
used to extend the soft-start time past the internal 1.5-ms soft
start. This example uses a 1.5-ms soft-start time and the required
external capacitance can be calculated with Equation 28. In this example, a 22-nF capacitor is used.
Equation 28.
Note: A minimum capacitor value of 1 nF is required at the
SS/REFIN pin to help bypass noise. Also, the
SS/REFIN capacitor must use the AGND pin for the
ground. Note, any CSS calculation that
uses a soft-start time of less than 1.5 ms will be
ignored by the internal soft-start time circuit.
Therefore, selecting a capacitor less than or equal
to 22 nF will result in the internal default 1.5 ms
soft-start time.
