7.3.2 System Start-Up Features

In many different applications, the power-supply output must turn on within a specific window of time to either ensure proper operation of the load or to minimize the loading on the input supply or other sequencing requirements. The LDO start-up is well-controlled and user-adjustable, solving the demanding requirements faced by many power-supply design engineers in a simple fashion.
