OK, so it's really a current limit that's kicking in rather than a ramp rate control (though if it's a current limit I'm still not clear why the target rate limits where we cap)? Can we do something based on the maximum load configured and the current limit? That sounds more generic anyway, a current limiting feature is quite common. If we implement the current limit interface for the regulator and then specify what the maximum load is we should be able to do the calculations you quoted from the datasheet I'd have thought (unless I'm missing something). > So providing configured and observed value direct will help much here. Only if we never do anything like reconfigure the ramp rate at runtime which some other user might want to do, and it does rely on every system integrator to notice that the ramp rate is inaccurate and work out how to work around it for their system. What would be better would be if we could figure out a way of describing this based on something more directly observable.
