circuit design

Inrush current happens when capacitor is initially charged from 0V to the intended rail voltage. What should be the effective capacitance to be considered during this charging?-Since the voltage keeps on varying and effective capacitance for a ceramic cap varies with voltage. The same question applies to even RC circuit used to set delay.

Taming linear-regulator inrush currents

voltage and inrush current at start-up with C OUT = 1 µF and 10 µF. Even though these linear regulators have an 800-mA maximum current limit, the inrush current never exceeds 150 mA, after a brief spike to 300 mA, even with a 10-µF output capacitor. From the relationship I Inrush = C OUT × V OUT/t Rise, and by

How To Limit Inrush Current With Thermistors

The difference between the inrush current and the steady-state current can be significant. For example, a 250-watt AC-DC power supply might draw approximately 1 A during regular operation, but the inrush current might be as high as 30 A. DC-DC converters can also experience inrush current challenges.

5.2 Inrush Current The other concern is the initial inrush current required to charge the output capacitor to the level of the input voltage. When the input supply is initially connected (such as "hot plugging" a battery to the system) the output capacitor will resonantly charge through the inductor and diode, even if the regulator is disabled.

Inrush current calculation

As the ESR gets smaller with a larger capacitor, then we can say that large capacitors create large inrush currents. And also, the voltage rise time t_r at the capacitor Cout will be related to t_r = (RDSon + ESR) x Cout. Please, corrected me if I am wrong.
