TPS7A4701-EP: regarding Calculatio of softstart

Part Number: TPS7A4701-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS7A57,

Tool/software:

Dear Team,

TPS7A4701-EP

For the above mentioned part


to determine the softstart,The terms are given without any units in datasheets, Please refer the attached image
Please Guide me with determining the softstarts for 

The input Output voltages and Currents and are given below

Part Number TPS7A57 TPS7A57
Selected Regulator Type LDO Regulator LDO Regulator
Selected Regulator's Maximum output current (A) 1 1
Typical Output Voltage of Selected Regulator - Vo (V) 1.8 3
Planned Input Voltage of Regulator - Vi (V) 3.3 5
Required Output Current of Regulator - Io (A) 0.4068 0.8592
Calculated Input Current of Regulator - Ii (A) 0.407 0.859
Soft start time Tss (ms) ? ?

Conider Cnr/ss to be 1uF or the best value you suggest , I need Rise time around 1ms to 2ms
Please help me with filling the Tss, or the Cnr/ss

Thanks and regards, 
Maharajan P 

  • Hello Maharajan,

    It looks like the picture did not upload correctly. Can you please upload it again?

    Also, do you need to calculate the soft start on the TPS7A57 or the TPS7A4701-EP?

    Best regards,

    Daniel

  • Hii Daniel,
    Sorry for the confusion, 
    Need to be Calculated for Both TPS7A4701-EP. and TPS7A57 I will add the Detailed and correct table column below

    Part Number TPS7A4701-EP TPS7A4701-EP TPS7A57
    Selected Regulator Type LDO Regulator LDO Regulator LDO Regulator
    Selected Regulator's Maximum output current (A) 1 1 5
    Typical Output Voltage of Selected Regulator - Vo (V) 1.8 3 0.925
    Planned Input Voltage of Regulator - Vi (V) 3.3 5 1.2
    Required Output Current of Regulator - Io (A) 0.4068 0.8592 3.9684
    Calculated Input Current of Regulator - Ii (A) 0.407 0.859 3.9684
    Soft start time Tss (ms) ? ?  ?

    Please Respond as soon as possible, 

    Tanks and regards,

  • Hello Maharajan,

    Thank you for the clarification. I will reply with the calculations within a business day.

    Best regards,

  • Hello Maharajan,

    To calculate the soft start time of the TPS7A57, please refer to equation 3 on page 57 in the datasheet (https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps7a57.pdf): 

    • Soft-start time (Tss) = (VOUT(target) × CNRss) / ( ISS)
      • Tss = 0.001 (1ms)
      • ISS = .0002 (200uA)
      • VOUT(target) = 0.925
         
      • For a 1 ms start time:
      • CNRss = (.0002 * 0.001) / (0.925); CNRss = 216nF

     

    To calculate the soft start time of the TPS7A4701-EP, please refer to equation 5 on page 16 in the datasheet (https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps7a4701-ep.pdf): 

    •  Tss = 100,000 * CNR * Ln((Vr + 5)/5)
      • Tss = 0.001 (1ms)
      • Vr = 1.4V
         
      • For a 1ms start time:
      • CNR = (0.001)/(100,000*Ln(1.28)); CNR = 40.5nF
