Slow Start (SS/TR)
Connecting the STSEL pin to AGND and leaving SS/TR pin open enables the internal SS capacitor with a slow
start interval of approximately 1.1 ms. Adding additional capacitance between the SS pin and AGND increases
the slow start time. Table 6 shows an additional SS capacitor connected to the SS/TR pin and the STSEL pin
connected to AGND. See Table 6 below for SS capacitor values and timing interval.

Overcurrent Protection
For protection against load faults, the LMZ30602 uses current limiting. The device is protected from overcurrent
conditions by cycle-by-cycle current limiting and frequency foldback. During an overcurrent condition the output
current is limited and the output voltage is reduced, as shown in Figure 26. When the overcurrent condition is
removed, the output voltage returns to the established voltage, as shown in Figure 27.
