Figure 4. Output Ratiometric Tracking Waveform

SOFT-START AND OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRACKING

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

of each regulator channel 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 soft-start cur-

rent 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 •

CSS

ISS

where CSS is the capacitance on the TRACK/SS pin and

the ISS is the soft-start current which equals 6µA for the

12A output channels (CH0, CH3) and 1.4µA for the 5A

output channels (CH1, CH2).

Outputvoltagetrackingcanalsobeprogrammedexternally

using the TRACK/SS pin of each regulator channel. The

output can be tracked up and down with another regulator.

Figure 4 and Figure 5 show an example waveform and

schematic of a ratiometric tracking where the slave

regulator’s (VOUT2, VOUT3 and VOUT0) output slew rate is

proportional to the master’s (VOUT1).
