A novel soft-start technique with charge-pump based staircase clamping voltage generator to eliminate the inrush-current and over-shoot voltage is presented. Proper duty cycle is introduced as a new freedom to control the soft-start speed which enables a fully on-chip design to reduce the cost of th...
