8.2.6 Voltage Tracking

The DNM/DNL family was designed for applications that have output voltage tracking requirements during power-up and power-down. The devices have a TRACK pin to implement three types of tracking method: sequential, ratio-metric and simultaneous. TRACK simplifies the task of supply voltage tracking in a power system by enabling modules to track each other, or any external voltage, during power-up and power-down.

By connecting multiple modules together, customers can get multiple modules to track their output voltages to the voltage applied on the TRACK pin.

Detailed Description

Sequential Implementation

Sequential start-up is implemented by connecting the power good signal (PWRGD pin) of PS1 to the TRACK pin of PS2 with a resistor–capacitor (RC) circuit. The power up and down that waveforms in Figures 4 and 5. In Figure 4, the 5V PS1 supply ramps up first. When supply reaches its final 5V steady state value, the open collector output of the PWRGD pin releases to the TRACK pin and the PS2 output voltage rises at the rate of the RC time constant. In Figure 5, the PWRGD pin pull low by PS1 ENABLE off or the PS1 output voltage is below 90% of the desired regulated voltage. The TRACK pin is pulled low and the PS2 power down. Figure 3 shows the circuit diagram of sequential start-up when VoPS2 tracks the PWRGD of PS1.
