APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Coincident Tracking Example
A typical three supply application is shown in Figure 11. The
master signal is a 3.3V module. The slave 1 supply is a 1.8V
switching power supply and the slave 2 supply is a 2.5V
switching power supply. Both slave supplies track coinci-
dently with the 3.3V supply that is controlled with an ex-
ternal FET. The ramp rate of the supplies is 1000V/s. The
3-step design procedure detailed previously can be used
to determine component values. Only the slave 1 supply is
considered here as the procedure is the same for the slave 2
supply.
1. Set the ramp rate of the master signal.
2. Solve for the pair of resistors that provide the desired

3.3V
In this example, all supplies remain low while the ON pin
is held below 1.23V. When the ON pin rises above 1.23V,
10µA pulls up C
the gate of the FET rises, the source follows and pulls up
the output to 3.3V at 1000V/s. This output serves as the
master signal and is buffered from the RAMP pin to the
RAMPBUF pin. As this output and the RAMPBUF pin rise,
the current from the TRACK pins is reduced. Conse-
quently, the voltage at the slave supply’s outputs in-
creases, and the slave supplies track the master supply.
When the ON pin is again pulled below 1.23V, 10µA will
pull down C
loads on the outputs are sufficient, all outputs will track
down coincidently at 1000V/s.
