If the part is operated with an input voltage at or below the internal soft-start clamp voltage of approximately 7V,
the voltage on the SD/SS pin tracks the input voltage and can be disturbed by a step in the voltage. To maintain
proper function under these conditions, it is strongly recommended that the SD/SS pin be clamped externally
between the 3V maximum soft-start threshold and the 4.5V minimum input voltage. Figure 32 is an example of
an external 3.7V (approx.) clamp that prevents a line-step related glitch but does not interfere with the soft-start
behavior of the device.
