PRODUCTION DATA
This function forces VOUT to increase at a controlled rate during start-up in a controlled fashion, which helps reduce inrush current and eliminate overshoot on VOUT. During soft start, reference voltage of the error amplifier ramps from 0 V to the nominal value of 0.8 V in approximately 600 µs. If the converter is turned on into a prebiased load, then the feedback begins ramping from the prebias voltage, but at the same rate as if started from 0 V. The two outputs start up ratiometrically if enabled at the same time, see the following figure.
