8.3.15 Sequencing (SS/TR)

Many of the common power-supply sequencing methods can be implemented using the SS/TR, EN, and PWRGD pins.

The sequential method is shown in Figure 22 using two TPS50301-HT devices. The power good of the first device is coupled to the EN pin of the second device, which enables the second power supply after the primary supply reaches regulation.

Figure 22. Sequential Start-Up Sequence

Figure 23 shows the method implementing ratiometric sequencing by connecting the SS/TR pins of two devices together. The regulator outputs ramp up and reach regulation at the same time. When calculating the slow-start time, the pullup current source must be doubled in Equation 7.

TPS50301-HT ratio_stup_lvsa94.gifFigure 23. Ratiometric Start-Up Sequence

Ratiometric and simultaneous power-supply sequencing can be implemented by connecting the resistor network of R1 and R2 (shown in Figure 24) to the output of the power supply that needs to be tracked or another voltage reference source. Using Equation 9 and Equation 10, the tracking resistors can be calculated to initiate the Vout2 slightly before, after, or at the same time as Vout1. Equation 11 is the voltage difference between Vout1 and Vout2.

To design a ratiometric start-up in which the Vout2 voltage is slightly greater than the Vout1 voltage when Vout2 reaches regulation, use a negative number in Equation 9 and Equation 10 for ΔV. Equation 11 results in a positive number for applications where the Vout2 is slightly lower than Vout1 when Vout2 regulation is achieved.

The ΔV variable is 0 V for simultaneous sequencing. To minimize the effect of the inherent SS/TR to VSENSE offset (Vssoffset, 29 mV) in the slow-start circuit and the offset created by the pullup current source (Iss, 2 μA) and tracking resistors, the Vssoffset and Iss are included as variables in the equations.

To ensure proper operation of the device, the calculated R1 value from Equation 9 must be greater than the value calculated in Equation 12.
