The LTM4623 device is an inherently current mode con-

trolled device, so parallel modules will have very good

current sharing. This will balance the thermals on the

design. Please tie the RUN, TRACK/SS, FB and COMP pins

of each paralleling module together. Figure 26 shows an

example of parallel operation and pin connection.

Input RMS Ripple Current Cancellation

Application Note 77 provides a detailed explanation of

multiphase operation. The input RMS ripple current can-

cellation mathematical derivations are presented, and a

graph is displayed representing the RMS ripple current

Figure 3 shows this graph.

Soft-Start And Output Voltage Tracking

The TRACK/SS pin provides a means to either soft start

the regulator or track it to a different power supply. A

capacitor on the TRACK/SS pin will program the ramp

rate of the output voltage. An internal 2µA current source

will charge up the external soft-start capacitor towards

INTVCC voltage. When the TRACK/SS voltage is below

0.6V, it will take over the internal 0.6V reference voltage

to control the output voltage. The total soft-start time can

be calculated as:

tSS = 0.6 •

where CSS is the capacitance on the TRACK/SS pin. Cur-

rent foldback and forced continuous mode are disabled

during the soft-start process.

using the TRACK/SS pin. The output can be tracked up

and down with another regulator. Figure 4 and Figure 5

show an example waveform and schematic of ratiometric

tracking where the slave regulator’s output slew rate is

proportional to the master’s.
