PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 9-66 shows how two TPS62901-Q1s can be configured to tracking output voltages. In this configuration, Device 2 follows the voltage applied to its SS/TR pin from Device 1 output. A ramp on the SS/TR pin of Device 2 to 0.8 V in turn ramps VOUT2 according to the 0.6-V reference on VFB and the R4//R5 resistor divider.
For this example, to track the 3.8 V (VOUT1) of Device 1 a resistor divider (R7//R8) on SS/TR of Device 2 is required to generate 0.8 V when the output voltage (VOUT1) is in regulation. Due to the ISS current of 2.5 µA from the SS/TR pin, the equivalent resistance of R7 // R8 must be kept below 15 kΩ to minimize any offset the ISS current can cause on the SS/TR pin voltage.
