TPS22990: TPS22990 load switch soft start timing

Part Number: TPS22990

Hello,

in regards to the rise time/soft start for the TPS22990 load switch, is there a maximum CT capacitor that can be used?  I noticed that table 1 of the datasheet lists 10000pF as the maximum with a rise time of 404uS with a 3.3V input.  I would like to extend the rise time to something between 2ms and 10ms.  Is this possible?

Thanks,

  • Hi Leoj,

    Thanks for reaching out on E2E!

    There is no maximum CT capacitor that can be used on the TPS22990. It is possible to extend the rise time by using a large CT capacitor. I tried looking at our characterization data to find a configuration for 2ms-10ms but was unable to. I recommend testing a similar configuration on our TPS22990EVM to finalize your results.

    Thanks,
