APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

in more stable characteristics and are usually more suit-

able for use as the output capacitor. The X7R type has

better stability across temperature, while the X5R is less

expensive and is available in higher values. In all cases,

the output capacitance should never drop below 0.4μF, or

instability or degraded performance may occur.

VLDO Output Short-Circuit Protection

The VLDO regulators have built-in short-circuit limiting.

During short-circuit conditions, internal circuitry automati-

cally limits the output current to approximately 760mA.

VLDO Regulator Soft-Start

Each VLDO regulator includes a soft-start feature to

prevent excessive current ﬂow during start-up. When

the VLDO regulator is enabled, the soft-start circuitry

gradually increases the VLDO regulator reference voltage

from 0V to 0.4V over a period of about 600μs. There is a

short 700μs delay from the time the part is enabled until

the LDO output starts to rise. Figure 5 shows the start-up

output waveform.
