The soft start time is configured using the C_SS capacitor. In order to calculate the value of the capacitor, the VOUT slew rate needs to be calculated using Equation 3 to make sure the maximum VOUT slew rate requirement shown in Equation 4 is satisfied. This requirement is particularly important for space applications where large output capacitance is typically used, which translates to a lower maximum allowable VOUT slew rate. For this particular design, the VOUT slew rate is 555 V/s which is less than the maximum VOUT slew rate of 882 V/s, meeting the requirement from Equation 4. Now, the soft start capacitor value can be calculated as 117 nF using Equation 6, since VIN = 5 V for this application.
