LMR14030-Q1: Soft-start pin of LMR14030-Q1

Hi Sam,

During soft startup time, if Vout is lower than SS pin voltage for certain level, the control circuit will consider the output is shorted or overloaded and then stop soft start cycle. the soft start time is almost zero if SS pin is floated, while the output has capacitor and always require certain time to charge up the output voltage,  so you may not see output rampup if SS is floated.

Pls let us know more about detail design concerns, so we can suggest alternative solution.
