set-point measured at the termination of the VSEN+ and VSEN- sense points.
4. The device requires approximately 2 ms following an enable signal and prior to ramping its output. The delay accuracy will vary by
±0.25 ms around the 2 ms minimum delay value.
5. Precise ramp timing mode is only valid when using EN pin to enable the device rather than PMBus enable.
6. The devices may require up to a 4 ms delay following an assertion of the enable signal (normal mode) or following the de-assertion
of the enable signal.
