ADP1046A 100Watt
Evaluation board
C. SR softstart: This test shows the capability of the softstart ramp or fade in sequence applied to the synchronous
rectifiers. The 'Enable SR softstart' button was checked.
Figure 20 show a zoomed in snapshot of the duty cycle at the beginning and end of the softstart ramp.

Additional things to try:
a)
Implement different softstart timings in combination with different PS_ON delays.
b)
Use a dedicated softstart filter during softstart and choosing an aggressive normal mode filter.
c)
Use the filter transition feature to seamlessly change filters.
d)
Disable the OrFET allowing its body diode to conduct the output current. Then set different OTP thresholds.
e)
Use the SR Softstart to prevent a glitch in the output voltage.
f)
Enable softstart from pre-charge to reduce softstart time.
