PRODUCTION DATA.
Alternatively, the tracking feature can be used to have similar output voltage ramp rates. This is referred to as simultaneous start-up. In this case, the tracking resistors can be calculated using Equation 8.
and to ensure proper overdrive of the SS pin as calculated in Equation 9.
For the example case of VOUT1 = 5 V and VOUT2 = 2.5 V, with RT2 set to 33 kΩ as before, RT1 is calculated from the above equation to be 15.5 kΩ. A timing diagram for the case of equal slew rates is shown in Figure 18.
