ZHCSSC1B June 2015 – December 2024 LV14240
PRODUCTION DATA
The LV14240 has soft-start pin for programmable output ramp up time. The soft-start feature is used to prevent inrush current impacting the LV14240 and the load when power is first applied. The soft-start time can be programed by connecting an external capacitor CSS from SS pin to GND. An internal current source (typically ISS = 3 μA) charges CSS and generates a ramp from 0 V to VREF. The soft-start time can be calculated by Equation 4:
The internal soft-start resets while the device is disabled or in thermal shutdown.
