Key features and benefits - Ramp Time: 1.5 to 20 seconds allows precise soft-start control, reducing mechanical stress and inrush when engaging loads. - 10 V Output: up to 20 mA maximum current provides reliable low-power drive for control circuits and sensors. - Smooth Slow-Start Control: added capability for gradual engagement of loads to prevent stalls and fluctuations. - Sequencing and Start Function: includes parallel dead times, speed ramps, and the function to start fuel control for dependable startup sequences. What it does for you - Enables controlled and repeatable startup of low-power systems with configurable ramp timing. - Delivers a stable 10 V output suitable for driving compatible control inputs without overshoot. - Improves reliability of startup in sensitive applications by smoothing the initial engagement. Use scenarios - Automotive and engine systems: use the fuel control start function to initiate fuel regulation smoothly during startup, reducing shock to the fuel system. - Industrial automation and small DC motor control: apply speed ramps and parallel dead times to minimize wear and electrical disturbance during ramp-up. - Test benches and development: simulate controlled startup sequences with defined ramp times to validate system responses and performance.
