Hi there.
I was reading about different techniques employed in controlling load-switches. I came across a technical article by On Semiconductors, here. On page 4, it has the following down the switching speed of the load-switches.
I am having some difficulty understanding how C1 is actually working, here. If the purpose of using C1 is to slow down the switching speed, thereby limiting the inrush current, why is it connected between the Gate and the Source? Shouldn't it be connected between the Gate and the GND?
Could anyone please help me in having a clear understanding of this?
I would really appreciate that.
