Referring to Figure 21:
NOTE
(1) VREF dominates the positive input of the error amplifier.
(2) SS_EAMP dominates the positive input of the error amplifier.
For 0 < VSS_EAMP < VREF

For VSS_EAMP > VREF
(R1+ R2)
VOUT = VREF ´ R2

7.3.7.1 Soft-Start During Overcurrent Fault
The soft-start block also has a role to control the fault-logic timing. If an overcurrent fault (OC_FAULT) is
declared, the soft-start capacitor is discharged internally through the device by a small current ISS(sink) (1.05 µA,
typical). Once the SS pin capacitor is discharged to below VSS(flt,low) (300 mV, typical), the soft-start capacitor
begins charging again. If the fault is persistent, a fault is declared which is determined by the overcurrent-
protection state machine. If the soft-start capacitor is below VSS(flt,high) (2.5 V, typical), then the soft-start capacitor
continues to charge until it reaches VSS(flt,high) before a discharge cycle is initiated. This ensures that the re-start
time-interval is always constant. Figure 22 shows the restart timing.
