Programming the Soft-start
Place a capacitor CSS between the SS and GND pins to
program the soft-start. In order to program a soft-start time
of TSS, calculate the required capacitance CSS from the
following equation:

Feed-Forward Capacitor (CFF)
A feed-forward capacitor (CFF) may be necessary depend-
ing on the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of COUT. If
only ceramic output capacitors are used for COUT then a
CFF is necessary. Calculate CFF from:
CFF
=
------------------------1-------------------------
2    R1  7  fLC
where:
R1 is the resistor that CFF is placed in parallel with
fLC is the frequency of output filter double-pole
fLC must be less than 11kHz when using ceramic COUT. If
necessary, increase COUT and/or L in order to meet this
constraint.
When using capacitors with higher ESR, such as PANA-
SONIC TPE series, a CFF is not required provided following
conditions are met:
1. The frequency of output filter LC double-pole fLC should
be less than 10kHz.
2. The frequency of ESR Zero fZero,ESR should be at least
five times larger than fLC.
Note that if fZero,ESR is less than 5xfLC, then it is recom-
mended to set the fLC at less than 2kHz. CFF is still not
required.
Feed-Forward Resistor (RFF)
Poor PCB layout and/or extremely fast switching FETs can
cause switching noise at the output and may couple to the
FB pin via CFF. Excessive noise at FB will cause poor load
regulation. To solve this problem place a resistor RFF in
series with CFF. RFF value up to 2% of R1 is acceptable.
Maximum Allowable Voltage Ripple at FB pin
Note that the steady-state voltage ripple at feedback pin FB
(VFB,RIPPLE) must not exceed 50mV in order for the Module
to function correctly. If VFB,RIPPLE is larger than 50mV then
COUT should be increased as necessary in order to keep
the VFB,RIPPLE below 50mV.
