The OZSCR-1×00 can be used as a simple soft start controller by operating in open-loop phase angle control mode – in which case no current feedback is necessary. The phase command needs to be set to the max (for full conduction) using either the analog input pin or using Modus register control and setting the default phase command register. The user then needs to configure the soft inhibit control parameters to set the soft-start ramp rate to the desired value for the application.
