ZHCSCN3B June 2014 – March 2018 LM46000
PRODUCTION DATA.
The user can leave the SS/TRK pin floating, and the LM46000 implement a soft-start time of 4.1 ms typically. In order to use an external soft-start capacitor, size the capacitor so that the soft-start time is longer than 4.1 ms. Use Equation 23 to calculate the soft-start capacitor value:
where
For the desired soft start time of 10 ms and soft-start charging current of 2.2 µA, Equation 23 yields a soft-start capacitor value of 0.022 µF.
