LT1611 UOPERATIOStart-Up/Soft-Start measured at VIN, is limited to a peak value of 450mA as the time required to reach final value increases to 700µs. In The LT1611, starting from VOUT = 0V, reaches final voltage Figure 16, C in approximately 450µs after SHDN is pulled high, with SS is increased to 0.1µF, resulting in a lower peak input current of 240mA with a V C OUT ramp time of OUT = 22µF, VIN = 5V and VOUT = – 5V. Charging the output 2.1ms. C capacitor at this speed requires an inrush current of over SS can be increased further for an even slower ramp, if desired. Diode D2 serves to quickly discharge C 1A. If a longer start-up time is acceptable, a soft-start SS when V circuit consisting of R SS is driven low to shut down the device. D2 can be SS and CSS, as shown in Figure 14, omitted, resulting in a “soft-stop” slow discharge of the can be used to limit inrush current to a lower value.
