5.6 Soft Start Circuit
The soft start circuit is used to minimize the peak value of the rush current at startup of the booster.
As shown in Figure 5.5, the maximum 200 ms (100mSec Typ.) after the input voltage VI has been input is set as
the soft start period. During the soft start period, the VO output may not reach the electric potential that was
boosted sufficiently.
In this case, the electric potential of the VO output is boosted smoothly up to the specified voltage after the soft
start period has been expired.

[Notes on connecting the capacitor for stabilizing the input voltage]
To stabilize the input voltage VI, the capacitor (CI) to be connected between the V
DD
and VI pins must be
placed near the IC pin so that the wiring is as short as possible.
