longer than the filter delay time, tUOFLTR, activates the
FAULT# output, and the VGATE and PG outputs will be
latched in the off state. To initiate another power-up
sequence the FAULT# output must first be reset. Refer to
the appropriate section on resetting the FAULT# output.
The Under-/Over-Voltage Filtering feature is disabled in
the default configuration of the device.
Once all of the preconditions for powering up the DC/DC
controller have been met, the SMH4811A provides a
means to soft start the external power FET. It is important
to limit in-rush current to prevent damage to the add-in
