Abstract
A system for controlling a soft start for a switching power converter includes a digital controller that enables the programming of a plurality of input voltage profiles during a soft start condition of the switching power converter. The programming of the plurality of input voltage profiles is parameterized by a control parameter. A microcontroller determines the control parameter used by said digital controller and operates independently of the operation of the digital controller.
