Responding to: ???'s previous message
Turn-on performance isn't specified for many of these shutdown regulators. This is valid for the LM2936, LT1129, LTC1121 and MIC5207.

The LP2951 shows overshot and ringing and the LP2985 doesn't provide a true ramp for certain bypass caps. Not very promising.

The LP2981 looks good, but the performance isn't specified properly either.

The turn-on performance heavily depends on the actual capacitive load and load current. Curves, if published at all, do not show how the shape of turn-on curve depends on these parameters.

                                          You seem to be wrong about the capacitor, Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             Not necessarily...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             the risetime has nothing to do with reset ... unless            01/01/70 00:00
