4614 F03

TRACK1 is the track ramp applied to the slave’s track pin.

TRACK1 applies the track reference for the slave output up

to the point of the programmed value at which TRACK1

proceeds beyond the 0.8V reference value. The TRACK1

pin must go beyond the 0.8V to ensure the slave output

has reached its ﬁnal value.

Ratiometric tracking can be achieved by a few simple

calculations and the slew rate value applied to the master’s

TRACK pin. As mentioned above, the TRACK pin has a

control range from 0V to 0.8V. The control ramp slew rate

applied to the master’s TRACK pin is directly equal to the

master’s output slew rate in Volts/Time.

The equation:

• 4.99k

where MR is the master’s output slew rate and SR is the

slave’s output slew rate in Volts/Time. When coincident

tracking is desired, then MR and SR are equal, thus RTB

is equal to 4.99k. RTA is derived from equation:

TA =

0.8V

4.99k

–

TRACK

where VFB is the feedback voltage reference of the regula-

tor, and VTRACK is 0.8V. Since RTB is equal to the 4.99k top

feedback resistor of the slave regulator in equal slew rate

or coincident tracking, then RTA is equal to RFB with VFB =

VTRACK. Therefore RTB = 4.99k and RTA = 10k in Figure 2.

Figure 3 shows the output voltage tracking waveform for

coincident tracking.

In ratiometric tracking, a different slew rate maybe desired

for the slave regulator. RTB can be solved for when SR is

slower than MR. Make sure that the slave supply slew rate

is chosen to be fast enough so that the slave output voltage

will reach it ﬁnal value before the master output.

For example, MR = 2.5V/ms and SR = 1.8V/1ms. Then

RTB = 6.98k. Solve for RTA to equal to 3.24k. The master

output must be greater than the slave output for the

tracking to work. Output load current must be present

for tracking to operate properly during power down.

Power Good

PGOOD1 and PGOOD2 are open-drain pins that can be

used to monitor valid output voltage regulation. These pins

monitor a ±7.5% window around the regulation point.

COMP Pin

This pin is the external compensation pin. The module has

already been internally compensated for all output voltages.

Table 4 is provided for most application requirements.

The Linear Technology μModule Power Design Tool will

be provided for other control loop optimization.
