Turn-on Waveform
A soft-start sequence occurs when applying power to the LM21212-1 evaluation board. Figure 3 shows
the output voltage during a typical start-up sequence.

Output Ripple Waveform
Figure 4 shows the output voltage ripple. This measurement was taken with the scope probe tip placed on
the output capacitor C9 VOUT connection and the scope probe ground "barrel" wired to the GND
connection of C9. The scope bandwidth is set to 20 MHz.
