PRODUCTION DATA
The capacitor connected to the SS pin determines the soft-start time, or the time for the reference voltage and the output voltage to reach their final regulated values. If tSS is the required soft-start time, calculate the soft-start capacitance using Equation 14 or more simply with Equation 15.
Choose a CSS of 10nF corresponding to a soft-start time of 1.2ms for this application.
