Supply Sequencing Example
In Figure 19, the two slave supplies are sequenced using a
master ramp signal. As in the ratiometric tracking example,
the master signal ramps up at 100V/s, and the minimum
slave loads are the same as the coincident example, so
steps 1 and 2 remain the same. The 1.8V slave 1 supply
ramps up at 1000V/s beginning 10ms after the master
signal starts to ramp up. The 2.5V slave 2 supply ramps
up at 1000V/s beginning 20ms after the master signal

starts to ramp up. Note that not every combination of
ramp rates and delays is possible. Small delays and large
ratios of slave ramp rate to master ramp rate may result
in solutions that require negative resistors. In such cases,
either the delay must be increased or the ratio of slave
ramp rate to master ramp rate must be reduced.
3. Solve for the tracking resistors that set the desired ramp
rate and voltage offset or time delay of the slave supply.

Choose RTB = 1.50kΩ.
Since a delay is required, Equation 5b applies:
ΔV = 100V/s • 10ms = 1V

Choose RTA = 2.94kΩ.
Note that the values of RFA2 and RFB2 are larger than those
of the Coincident Tracking Example. Larger feedback resis-
tor values resulted in larger tracking resistor values for
RTA2 and RTB2, which limits the maximum TRACK2 pin
current to <1mA; see Final Sanity Checks.
