In applications where the dimming signal is used to turn on and off the device, the EN pin

can be connected to the DIM pin as shown in Figure 7.

Soft-start

The soft-start function is required to perform a correct start-up of the system, controlling the

inrush current required to charge the output capacitor and to avoid output voltage overshoot.

The soft-start duration is set connecting an external capacitor between the SS pin and

ground. This capacitor is charged with a 5

μA (typ.) constant current, forcing the voltage on

the SS pin to ramp up. When this voltage increases from zero to nearly 1.2 V, the current

limit of the power MOSFET is proportionally released from zero to its final value. However,

because of the limited minimum on-time of the switching section, the inductor might saturate

due to current runaway. To solve this problem the switching frequency is reduced to one half

of the nominal value at the beginning of the soft-start phase. The nominal switching

frequency is restored after the SS pin voltage has crossed 0.8 V.
