Soft-start
The soft-start function is required to perform a correct start-up of the system, controlling the
inrush current required to charge the output capacitor and to avoid output voltage overshoot.
The soft-start duration is set connecting an external capacitor between the SS pin and
ground. This capacitor is charged with a 5 μA (typ.) constant current, forcing the voltage on
the SS pin to ramp up. When this voltage increases from zero to nearly 1.2 V, the current
limit of the power MOSFET is proportionally released from zero to its final value. However,
because of the limited minimum on-time of the switching section, the inductor might saturate
due to current runaway. To solve this problem the switching frequency is reduced to one half
of the nominal value at the beginning of the soft-start phase. The nominal switching
frequency is restored after the SS pin voltage has crossed 0.8 V.
Figure 8.
During the soft-start phase the floating rows detection is also performed. In presence of one
or more floating rows, the voltage across the involved current generator drops to zero. This
voltage becomes the inverting input of the error amplifier through the minimum voltage drop
