7.3.2 Soft Start

All inductive step-up converters exhibit high inrush current during start-up if no special precaution is made. This can cause voltage drops at the input rail during start up and may result in an unwanted or early system shut down.

The TPS6104x limits this inrush current by increasing the current limit in two steps starting from GUID-6F292782-7C9E-484E-8D7E-EE391C74093D-low.gif for 256 cycles to GUID-9812B9E8-D22D-4966-B9B2-1FADA7939B32-low.gif for the next 256 cycles, and then full current limit (see Figure 8-4).
