SLVSCY5F February 2016 – January 2023 TPS82130
PRODUCTION DATA
The SS/TR pin is externally driven by another voltage source to achieve output voltage tracking. The application circuit is shown in Figure 7-1.
When the SS/TR pin voltage is between 50 mV and 1.2 V, the VOUT2 tracks the VOUT1 as described in Equation 5.
When the SS/TR pin voltage is above 1.2 V, the voltage tracking is disabled and the FB pin voltage is regulated at 0.8 V. To decrease the SS/TR pin voltage, the device does not sink current from the output, so the resulting decreases of the output voltage can be slower than the SS/TR pin voltage if the load is light. When driving the SS/TR pin with an external voltage, do not exceed the voltage rating of the SS/TR pin which is VIN + 0.3 V.
Details about tracking and sequencing circuits are found in the Sequencing and Tracking With the TPS621-Family and TPS821-Family Application Report.
