PRODUCTION DATA
Some applications can have transients that place the LDO into dropout, such as slower ramps on VIN for start-up or load transients. As with many other LDOs, the output can overshoot on recovery from these conditions.
Figure 9-12 shows that a ramping input supply can cause an LDO to overshoot on start-up when the slew rate and voltage levels are in the right range. This condition is easily avoided through either the use of an enable signal, or by increasing the soft-start time with CSS/NR.
