SLUAAT3 November 2023 TPS56837
TPS56837 can both leave SS pin floating with default 1.8-ms soft start time and connect external capacitor with desired soft start time. TPS56637 NC pin must not be connected and TPS56637 has default internal soft start time 2 ms.
So, TPS56837 and TPS56637 can directly change to each other by using TPS56837 default internal soft start. TPS56837 and TPS56637 can co-lay if longer soft start time of TPS56837 is needed. A place for external soft start capacitor is added and left at NC for TPS56637. Figure 4-2 shows co-lay guidance of TPS56837 and TPS56637 with external soft start capacitor.
