Customer Serviceinrush current limit is different from other inrush limit schemes in that it is always limited to a fixed value in addition to the load current demand. The fixed value of the inrush current limit is determined by the combination of capacitance and the system load current at the output of the LDO (for example, capacitor scaling downstream). Contents

It limits inrush current by charging C1 across the gate-source junction of Q1. Assuming that C1 is discharged when power is applied, the circuit keeps Q1 off by acting as a short across the gate-source junction. As C1 charges, Vgs increases and allows Q1 to turn on slowly.
The inrush current can be moderated by adding a capacitor from Gate to Drain, with a maximum value approximately 1 / the input voltage x the CGS to ensure that the capacitive divider formed by the two capacitors cannot provide a Gate-Source voltage that can allow the MOSFET to turn on.
Use of a capacitor from Gate to Source will add a delay before turn on, and use of a capacitor from Gate to Drain will limit the dv/dt on the output of the switch which is the parameter that determines the inrush current of a capacitive load.
As the voltage increases, an inrush of current flows into the uncharged capacitors. Inrush current can also be generated when a capacitive load is switched onto a power rail and must be charged to that voltage level. The amount of inrush current into the capacitors is determined by the slope of the voltage ramp as described in
Typical Power System Implementation Inrush current is a measure of the transient current taken from the supply pin during the initial startup sequence. Typically, when the part is enabled, a great deal of current is drawn from the supply to charge COUT to the final steady state value. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
