ZHCSCO9B June 2014 – January 2018 LM46001
PRODUCTION DATA.
The user can leave the SS/TRK pin floating, and the LM46001 implements a soft-start time of 4.1 ms typically. In order to use an external soft start capacitor, choose the capacitor size 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.
