RDS(on) = High side FET on-resistance
RL = DC resistance of the inductor
VOUT(max) = nominal output voltage plus maximum output voltage tolerance
Softstart (SS)
To minimize inrush current during start up, the device has an adjustable softstart depending on the capacitor
value connected to the SS pin. The device charges the softstart capacitor with a constant current of typically 7.5
µA. The feedback voltage follows this voltage with a fraction of 1.56 until the internal reference voltage of 0.8 V is
reached. The softstart operation is completed once the voltage at the softstart capacitor has reached typically
1.25 V. The soft-start time can be calculated using Equation 3. The larger the softstart capacitor the longer the
softstart time. The relation between softstart voltage and feedback voltage can be estimated using Equation 4.

This is also the case for the fixed output voltage option having the internal regulation voltage. Leaving the
softstart pin floating sets the minimum start-up time.
Start-up Tracking (SS)
The softstart pin can also be used to implement output voltage tracking with other supply rails. The internal
reference voltage follows the voltage at the softstart pin with a fraction of 1.56 until the internal reference voltage
of 0.8 V is reached. The softstart pin can be used to implement output voltage tracking as shown in Figure 20.

Figure 20. Output Voltage Tracking
In Figure 20, the output V2 tracks the voltage applied to V1. The voltage tracks simultaneously when following
conditions are met:
R3 R1
= x 1.56
R4 R2
(5)
As the fraction of R3/R4 becomes larger the voltage V1 ramps up faster than V2, and if it gets smaller then the
ramp is slower than V2. R4 needs to be determined first using Equation 6.
