Hello everyone,
I am using LM5119 as a buck converter in Interleaved mode. I was wondering if there is any limit on soft-start
capacitance. From the block diagram, I can see 10uA current source that follows - Current x time = Capacitance x Voltage or Css = (tss x 10uA) /0.8V (Page 17 of datasheet)
For my application, I need to start the power supply very slowly so I tried 1uF then 10uF capacitor. It worked so far. But when I tried 20uF capacitor, something
went wrong and the chip got blown along with MosFETs (not visible damage though). I had to replace LM5119 and transistors...
Can anyone tell me if there is any limit on the soft-start capacitor?
Thank you, really appreciate your help.
