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 8-15 using two TPS7H4011 devices. The PWRGD pin 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. If a further delay is desired between sequencing the first and second device, an optional CPWRGD capacitor may be included on PWRGD as well. This will cause an RC delay based on the value of the power good pull-up resistor and capacitor utilized.
Figure 8-16 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. Note that in this configuration, the SS_TR voltage tends towards the average of the two parts since SS_TR is the internal voltage reference of the device. This will cause some additional voltage error on the outputs of each device. This is because the precise VREF utilized for the control loop takes into account the offset of each individual devices error amplifier only when operating with its own SS_TR.
