ADVANCE INFORMATION
At start-up during the START PHASE 1 and 2 state (see FSM) the device regulates the error amplifiers reference to the SS-pin voltage or the ATRK/DTRK-pin voltage, whichever is lower. This action results in a gradual rise of the output voltage VOUT. During soft-start the device forces diode emulation mode (DEM) until the soft-start done signal is generated.
The external soft-start capacitor is first discharged to the VSS-DIS voltage, then charged by the ISS current and the soft-start done signal is generated when VSS-DONE is reached. In boost topology the soft-start time (tSS) varies with the input supply voltage as VOUT is equal to VI at start-up.
