How can I prevent the output voltage from overshooting following the application of the control voltage to an LDO?

To prevent the output voltage from overshooting, use an LDO with a soft-start or inrush current limiting function. The soft-start function raises the output voltage slowly after the control voltage is applied to an LDO.
