INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
These miniature point-of-load (POL) switching DC/DC converters are ideal regulation and
supply elements for mixed voltage systems. Fully
compatible with the Distributed-power Open
Standards Alliance specification (www.dosapower.com), LSN2’s can power CPU’s, programmable logic and mixed-voltage systems with little
heat and low noise. A typical application uses a
master isolated 12 or 5Vdc supply and individual
LSN2 converters for local 1.8 and 3.3Vdc supplies. All system isolation resides in the central
supply, leaving lower cost POL regulation at the
load. The LSN2’s can deliver very high power (to
52 Watts) in a tiny area without heat sinking or
external components. They feature quick transient
response (to 25µsec) and very fast current slew
rates (to 20A/µsec).

PERFORMANCE/FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION NOTES
All models are tested and specified with external 1 || 10µF ceramic/tantalum output capacitors and
a 22µF external input capacitor. All capacitors are low ESR types. These capacitors are necessary
to accommodate our test equipment and may not be required to achieve specified performance in
your applications. All models are stable and regulate within spec under no-load conditions.
General conditions for Specifications are +25°C, VIN = nominal, VOUT = nominal, full load. “Nominal”
output voltage is +5V for D12 models and +3.3V for W3 models.
(2) Input Back Ripple Current is tested and specified over a 5-20MHz bandwidth. Input filtering is
CIN = 2 x 100µF tantalum, CBUS = 1000µF electrolytic, LBUS = 1µH.
(3) Note that Maximum Power Derating curves indicate an average current at nominal input voltage. At
higher temperatures and/or lower airflow, the DC/DC converter will tolerate brief full current outputs
if the total RMS current over time does not exceed the derating curve.
(4) Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-332 Method 1, Case 3,
ground fixed conditions, TPCBOARD = +25°C, full output load, natural air convection.
(5) The On/Off Control may be driven with external logic or by applying appropriate external voltages
which are referenced to –Input Common. The On/Off Control Input should use either an open
collector/open drain transistor or logic gate which does not exceed +VIN. A 68KW external pullup
resistor to +VIN will cause the “ON” state for negative logic models.
(6) Short circuit shutdown begins when the output voltage under increasing load degrades approximately 2% from the selected setting.
(7) If Sense is connected remotely at the load, up to 0.5 Volts difference is allowed between the Sense
and +VOUT pins to compensate for ohmic voltage drop in the power lines. A larger voltage drop may
cause the converter to exceed maximum power dissipation.
(8) Output noise may be further reduced by adding an external filter. See I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction.
(9) All models are fully operational and meet published specifications, including “cold start” at –40°C.
VOUT is nominal.
(10) Regulation specifications describe the deviation as the line input voltage or output load current is
varied from a nominal midpoint value to either extreme.
(11) Other input or output voltage ranges are available under scheduled quantity special order.
(12) Maximum PC board temperature is measured with the sensor in the center.
(13) Do not exceed maximum power specifications when adjusting the output trim.
(14) When Sequencing is not used, the Power Good output is TRUE at any time the output is within
approximately ±10% of the voltage set point. Power Good basically indicates if the converter is in
regulation. Power Good detects Over Temperature if the PWM has shut down due to OT. Power
Good does not directly detect Over Current.
If Sequencing is in progress, Power Good will falsely indicate TRUE (valid) before the output
reaches its setpoint. Ignore Power Good if Sequencing is in transition.
(15) The maximum output capacitive loads depend on the the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of
the external output capacitor.
(16) Do not use Pre-bias startup and sequencing together. See Technical Notes below.
(17) After short circuit shutdown, if the load is partially removed such that the load still exceeds the
overcurrent (OC) detection, the converter will remain in hiccup restart mode.
(18) For best noise performance, leave the Track/Sequence pin OPEN when not used.

Soldering Guidelines
Murata Power Solutions recommends the specifications below when installing these
converters. These specifications vary depending on the solder type. Exceeding these
specifications may cause damage to the product. Be cautious when there is high atmospheric humidity. We strongly recommend a mild pre-bake (100° C. for 30 minutes). Your
production environment may differ; therefore please thoroughly review these guidelines
with your process engineers.

TECHNICAL NOTES
I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction
All models in the LSN2 Series are tested and specified with external 1 || 10µF
ceramic/tantalum output capacitors and a 22µF tantalum input capacitor.
These capacitors are necessary to accommodate our test equipment and
may not be required to achieve desired performance in your application. The
LSN2's are designed with high-quality, high-performance internal I/O caps,
and will operate within spec in most applications with no additional external
components.
In particular, the LSN2's input capacitors are specified for low ESR and are
fully rated to handle the units' input ripple currents. Similarly, the internal output capacitors are specified for low ESR and full-range frequency response.
In critical applications, input/output ripple/noise may be further reduced using
filtering techniques, the simplest being the installation of external I/O caps.
External input capacitors serve primarily as energy-storage devices. They
minimize high-frequency variations in input voltage (usually caused by IR
drops in conductors leading to the DC/DC) as the switching converter draws
pulses of current. Input capacitors should be selected for bulk capacitance
(at appropriate frequencies), low ESR, and high rms-ripple-current ratings.
The switching nature of modern DC/DCs requires that the dc input voltage
source have low ac impedance at the frequencies of interest. Highly inductive
source impedances can greatly affect system stability. Your specific system
configuration may necessitate additional considerations.

Safety Considerations
LSN2 SIPs are non-isolated DC/DC converters. In general, all DC/DC’s must
be installed, including considerations for I/O voltages and spacing/separation
requirements, in compliance with relevant safety-agency specifications (usually
UL/IEC/EN60950-1).
+INPUT
LBUS
+
VIN
CBUS
CIN
In particular, for a non-isolated converter’s output voltage to meet SELV
(safety extra low voltage) requirements, its input must be SELV compliant. If
the output needs to be ELV (extra low voltage), the input must be ELV.

COMMON

CBUS = 1000µF, ESR < 100mΩ @ 100kHz
LBUS = 1µH
Figure 2. Measuring Input Ripple Current
Output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and random deviations or
PARD) may be reduced below specified limits with the installation of additional
external output capacitors. Output capacitors function as true filter elements
and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR, and appropriate frequency response. Any scope measurements of PARD should be made directly
at the DC/DC output pins with scope probe ground less than 0.5" in length.
All external capacitors should have appropriate voltage ratings and be located
as close to the converters as possible. Temperature variations for all relevant
parameters should be taken into consideration.

The most effective combination of external I/O capacitors will be a function
of your line voltage and source impedance, as well as your particular load and
layout conditions.
Input Fusing
Most applications and or safety agencies require the installation of fuses
at the inputs of power conversion components. The LSN2 Series are not
internally fused. Therefore, if input fusing is mandatory, either a normal-blow
or a slow-blow fuse with a value no greater than twice the maximum input
current calculated at low line with the converter's minimum efficiency should
be installed within the ungrounded input path to the converter.
Input Overvoltage and Reverse-Polarity Protection
LSN2 SIP Series DC/DCs do not incorporate either input overvoltage or input
reverse-polarity protection. Input voltages in excess of the specified absolute
maximum ratings and input polarity reversals of longer than “instantaneous”
duration can cause permanent damage to these devices.
Start-Up Time
The VIN to VOUT Start-Up Time is the interval between the time at which a
ramping input voltage crosses the lower limit of the specified input voltage
range and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its specified accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input source impedance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and final value of the input
voltage as it appears to the converter.
The On/Off to VOUT Start-Up Time assumes the converter is turned off via the
On/Off Control with the nominal input voltage already applied to the converter.
The specification defines the interval between the time at which the converter
is turned on and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its
specified accuracy band. See Typical Performance Curves.
Remote Sense
LSN2 Series offer an output sense function. The sense function enables
point-of-use regulation for overcoming moderate IR drops in conductors and/
or cabling. Since these are non-isolated devices whose inputs and outputs
usually share the same ground plane, sense is provided only for the +Output.
The remote sense line is part of the feedback control loop regulating the DC/
DC converter’s output. The sense line carries very little current and consequently requires a minimal cross-sectional-area conductor. As such, it is not a lowimpedance point and must be treated with care in layout and cabling. Sense
lines should be run adjacent to signals (preferably ground), and in cable and/or
discrete-wiring applications, twisted-pair or similar techniques should be used.
The sense function is capable of compensating for voltage drops between
the +Output and +Sense pins that do not exceed 10% of VOUT.
[VOUT(+) – Common] – [Sense(+) – Common] ≤ 10%VOUT
Power derating (output current limiting) is based upon maximum output
current and voltage at the converter's output pins. Use of trim and sense
functions can cause the output voltage to increase, thereby increasing output
power beyond the LSN2's specified rating. Therefore:
(VOUT at pins) x (IOUT) ≤ rated output power
The internal 10.5Ω resistor between +Sense and +Output (see Figure 1)
serves to protect the sense function by limiting the output current flowing

through the sense line if the main output is disconnected. It also prevents
output voltage runaway if the sense connection is disconnected.
Note: If the sense function is not used for remote regulation, +Sense
must be tied to +Output at the DC/DC converter pins.
Remote On/Off Control
The input-side remote On/Off Control is an external input signal available in
either positive (no suffix) or negative (“N” suffix) polarity. Normally this input
is controlled by the user’s external transistor or relay. With simple external
circuits, it may also be selected by logic outputs. Please note however that
the actual control threshold levels vary somewhat with the PWM supply and
therefore are best suited to “open collector” or “open drain” type logic. The
On/Off control takes effect only when appropriate input power has been applied and stabilized (approximately 7msec).
For positive polarity, the default operation leaves this pin open (unconnected)
or HIGH. The output will then always be on (enabled) whenever appropriate
input power is applied. Negative polarity models require the On/Off to be
grounded to the –Input terminal or brought LOW to turn the converter on.
To turn the converter off, for positive polarity models, ground the On/Off
control or bring it LOW. For negative polarity, raise the On/Off at least to +2.5V
to turn it off.
Dynamic control of the On/Off must be capable of sinking or sourcing the
control current (approximately 1mA max.) and not overdrive the input greater
than the +VIN power input. Always wait for the input power to stabilize before
activating the On/Off control. Be aware that a delay of several milliseconds
occurs (see specifications) between activation of the control and the resulting
change in the output.
Power-up sequencing
If a controlled start-up of one or more LSN2 Series DC/DC converters is required,
or if several output voltages need to be powered-up in a given sequence, the
On/Off control pin can be driven with an external open collector device as per

Leaving the input of the on/off circuit closed during power-up will have the

Output Overvoltage Protection
LSN2 SIP Series DC/DC converters do not incorporate output overvoltage protection. In the extremely rare situation in which the device’s feedback loop is
broken, the output voltage may run to excessively high levels (VOUT = VIN). If it
is absolutely imperative that you protect your load against any and all possible
overvoltage situations, voltage limiting circuitry must be provided external to
the power converter.

Output Overcurrent Detection
Overloading the power converter's output for an extended time will invariably
cause internal component temperatures to exceed their maximum ratings and
eventually lead to component failure. High-current-carrying components such
as inductors, FET's and diodes are at the highest risk. LSN2 SIP Series DC/DC
converters incorporate an output overcurrent detection and shutdown function
that serves to protect both the power converter and its load.
If the output current exceeds it maximum rating by typically 50% or if the
output voltage drops to less than 98% of it original value, the LSN2's internal
overcurrent-detection circuitry immediately turns off the converter, which then
goes into a “hiccup” mode. While hiccupping, the converter will continuously
attempt to restart itself, go into overcurrent, and then shut down. Once the
output short is removed, the converter will automatically restart itself.
Output Reverse Conduction
Many DC/DCs using synchronous rectification suffer from Output Reverse
Conduction. If those devices have a voltage applied across their output before
a voltage is applied to their input (this typically occurs when another power
supply starts before them in a power-sequenced application), they will either
fail to start or self destruct. In both cases, the cause is the “freewheeling” or
“catch” FET biasing itself on and effectively becoming a short circuit.
LSN2 SIP DC/DC converters do not suffer from Output Reverse Conduction.
They employ proprietary gate drive circuitry that makes them immune to
moderate applied output overvoltages.
Thermal Considerations and Thermal Protection
The typical output-current thermal-derating curves shown below enable
designers to determine how much current they can reliably derive from each
model of the LSN2 SIPs under known ambient-temperature and air-flow conditions. Similarly, the curves indicate how much air flow is required to reliably
deliver a specific output current at known temperatures.

LSN2 Series
Non-isolated, DOSA-SIP, 6/10/16A
Selectable-Output DC/DC Converters
The highest temperatures in LSN2 SIPs occur at their output inductor,
whose heat is generated primarily by I 2 R losses. The derating curves were
developed using thermocouples to monitor the inductor temperature and
varying the load to keep that temperature below +110°C under the assorted
conditions of air flow and air temperature. Once the temperature exceeds
+115°C (approx.), the thermal protection will disable the converter. Automatic
restart occurs after the temperature has dropped below +110°C.
As you may deduce from the derating curves and observe in the efficiency
curves on the following pages, LSN2 SIPs maintain virtually constant efficiency from half to full load, and consequently deliver very impressive temperature
performance even if operating at full load.
Lastly, when LSN2 SIPs are installed in system boards, they are obviously
subject to numerous factors and tolerances not taken into account here. If you
are attempting to extract the most current out of these units under demanding temperature conditions, we advise you to monitor the output-inductor
temperature to ensure it remains below +110°C at all times.
Start Up Considerations
When power is first applied to the DC/DC converter, operation is different than
when the converter is running and stabilized. There is some risk of start up
difficulties if you do not observe several application features. Lower output
voltage converters may have more problems here since they tend to have
higher output currents. Operation is most critical with any combination of the
following external factors:
1 – Low initial input line voltage and/or poor regulation of the input source.
2 – Full output load current on lower output voltage converters.
3 – Slow slew rate of input voltage.
4 – Longer distance to input voltage source and/or higher external input
source impedance.
5 – Limited or insufficient ground plane. External wiring that is too small.
6 – Too small external input capacitance. Too high ESR.
7 – High output capacitance causing a start up charge overcurrent surge.
8 – Output loads with excessive inductive reactance or constant current
characteristics.
If the input voltage is already at the low limit before power is applied, the
start up surge current may instantaneously reduce the voltage at the input
terminals to below the specified minimum voltage. Even if this voltage depression is very brief, this may interfere with the on-board controller and possibly
cause a failed start. Or the converter may start but the input current load will
now drive the input voltage below its running low limit and the converter will
shut down.
never absolutely constant, the converter may start up at some times and not
at others.
Solutions
To improve start up, review the conditions above. One of the better solutions
is to place a moderate size capacitor very close to the input terminals. You
may need two parallel capacitors. A larger electrolytic or tantalum cap supplies the surge current and a smaller parallel low-ESR ceramic cap gives low
AC impedance. Too large an electrolytic capacitor may have higher internal
impedance (ESR) and/or lower the start up slew rate enough to upset the DC/
DC’s controller. Make sure the capacitors can tolerate reflected switching current pulses from the converter.
The capacitors will not help if the input source has poor regulation. A
converter which starts successfully at 3.3 Volts will turn off if the input voltage
decays to below the input voltage theshold, regardless of external capacitance.
Increase the input start up voltage if possible to raise the downward voltage
spike. Also, make sure that the input voltage ramps up in a reasonably short
time (less than a few milliseconds). If possible, move the input source closer
to the converter to reduce ohmic losses in the input wiring. Remember that
the input current is carried both by the wiring and the ground plane return.
Make sure the ground plane uses adequate thickness copper. Run additional
bus wire if necessary.
Any added output capacitor should use just enough capacitance (and
no more) to reduce output noise at the load and to avoid marginal threshold noise problems with external logic. An output cap will also “decouple”
inductive reactance in the load. Certain kinds of electronic loads include
“constant current” characteristics which destabilize the output with insufficient capacitance. If the wiring to the eventual load is long, consider placing
this decoupling cap at the load. Use the Remote Sense input to avoid ohmic
voltage drop errors.
An elegant solution to start up problems is to apply the input voltage with
the Remote On/Off control first in the off setting (for those converters with an
On/Off Control). After the specified start-up delay (usually under 20 mSec),
turn on the converter. The controller will have already been stabilized. The
short delay will not be noticed in most applications. Be aware of applications
which need “power management” (phased start up).
Finally, it is challenging to model some application circuits with absolute
fidelity. How low is the resistance of your ground plane? What is the inductance
(and distributed capacitance) of external wiring? Even a detailed mathematical
model may not get all aspects of your circuit. Therefore it is difficult to give cap
values which serve all applications. Some experimentation may be required.
If you measure the input voltage before start up with a Digital Voltmeter (DVM),
the voltage may appear to be adequate. Limited external capacitance and/or
too high a source impedance may cause a short downward spike at power up,
causing an instantaneous voltage drop. Use an oscilloscope not a DVM to observe
this spike. The converter’s soft-start controller is sensitive to input voltage. What
matters here is the actual voltage at the input terminals at all times.
Pre-Biased Startup
Newer systems with multiple power voltages have an additional problem
besides startup sequencing. Some sections have power already partially applied (possibly because of earlier power sequencing) or have leakage power
present so that the DC/DC converter must power up into an existing voltage.
This power may either be stored in an external bypass capacitor or supplied
by an active source.
Symptoms of start-up difficulties may include failed started, output oscillation or brief start up then overcurrent shutdown. Since the input voltage is
This “pre-biased” condition can also occur with some types of programmable logic or because of blocking diode leakage or small currents passed

through forward biased ESD diodes. Conventional DC/DC’s may fail to start up
correctly if there is output voltage already present. And some external circuits
are adversely affected when the low side MOSFET in a synchronous rectifier
converter sinks current at start up.
D12 Models Resistor Trim Equation:
The LSN2 series includes a pre-bias startup mode to prevent these initialization problems. Essentially, the converter acts as a simple buck converter until
the output reaches its set point voltage at which time it converts to a synchronous rectifier design. This feature is variously called “monotonic” because the
voltage does not decay (from low side MOSFET shorting) or produce a negative
transient once the input power is applied and the startup sequence begins.

Don’t Use Pre-Biasing and Sequencing Together
Normally, you would use startup sequencing on multiple DC/DC’s to solve the
Pre-Bias problem. By causing all power sources to ramp up together, no one
source can dominate and force the others to fail to start. For most applications, do not use startup sequencing in a Pre-Bias application, especially with
an external active power source.
If you have active source pre-biasing, leave the Sequence input open so
that the output will step up quickly and safely. A symptom of this condition is
repeated failed starts. You can further verify this by removing the existing load
and testing it with a separate passive resistive load which does not exceed full
current. If the resistive load starts successfully, you may be trying to drive an
external pre-biased active source.
It may also be possible to use pre-bias and sequencing together if the PreBias source is in fact only a small external bypass capacitor slowly charged by
leakage currents. Test your application to be sure.
Output Adjustments
The LSN2 series includes a special output voltage trimming feature which
is fully compatible with competitive units. The output voltage may be varied
using a single trim resistor from the Trim input to Power Common (pin 4) or an
external DC trim voltage applied between the Trim input and Power Common.
The output voltage range for W3 models is 0.75 to 3.3 Volts. For D12 models,
the output range is 0.75 to 5 Volts.
IMPORTANT: On W3 models only, for outputs greater than 3 Volts up to
3.3 Volts maximum, the input supply must be 4.5 Volts minimum. To retain
proper regulation, do not exceed the 3.3V output.
As with other trim adjustments, be sure to use a precision low-tempco
resistor (±100 ppm/°C) mounted close to the converter with short leads. Also
be aware that the output voltage accuracy is ±2% (typical) therefore you may
need to vary this resistance slightly to achieve your desired output setting.

Voltage Trim
The LSN2 Series may also be trimmed using an external voltage applied
between the Trim input and Output Common. Be aware that the internal “load”
impedance looking into trim pin is approximately 5kW. Therefore, you may
have to compensate for this in the source resistance of your external voltage
reference.
Use a low noise DC reference and short leads. Mount the leads close to the
converter.

Whereas in the old days, one master switch simultaneously turned on the
power for all parts of a system, many modern systems require multiple supply
voltages for different on-board sections. Typically the CPU or microcontroller
needs 1.8 Volts or lower. Memory (particularly DDR) may use 1.8 to 2.5 Volts.
Interface “glue” and “chipset” logic might use +3.3Vdc power while Input/
Output subsystems may need +5V. Finally, peripherals use 5V and/or 12V.

Selectable-Output DC/DC Converters
Timing is Everything
This mix of system voltages is being distributed by several local power solutions including Point-of-load (POL) DC/DC converters and sometimes a linear
regulator, all sourced from a master AC power supply. While this mix of voltages is challenging enough, a further difficulty is the start-up and shutdown
timing relationship between these power sources and relative voltage differences between them.
The first system (discrete On/Off controls) applies signals from an alreadypowered logic sequencer or dedicated microcontroller which turns on each
downstream power section in cascaded series. This of course assumes all
POL’s have On/Off controls. A distinct advantage of the sequencing controller
is that it can produce an “All On” output signal to state that the full system is
stable and ready to go to work. For additional safety, the sequencer can monitor the output voltages of all downstream POL’s with an A/D converter system.
For many systems, the CPU and memory must be powered up, bootstrap loaded and stabilized before the I/O section is turned on. This avoids
uncommanded data bytes being transferred, compromising an active external
network or placing the I/O section in an undefined mode. Or it keeps bad commands out of disk and peripheral controllers until they are ready to go to work.
However the sequencer controller has some obvious difficulties besides
extra cost, wiring and programming complexity. First, power is applied as a
fast-rising, all-or-nothing step which may be unacceptable to certain circuits,
especially large output bypass capacitors. These could force POL’s into
overcurrent shutdown. And some circuits (such as many linear regulators and
some POLs) may not have convenient start-up controls. This requires designing and fabricating external power controls such as high-current MOSFET’s.
Another goal for staggered power-up is to avoid an oversize load applied
to the master source all at once. A more serious reason to manage the timing
and voltage differences is to avoid either a latchup condition in programmable logic (a latchup might ignore commands or would respond improperly
to them) or a high current startup situation (which may damage on-board
circuits). And on the power down phase, inappropriate timing or voltages can
cause interface logic to send a wrong “epitaph” command.
Two Approaches
There are two ways to manage these timing and voltage differences. Either
the power up/down sequence can be controlled by discrete On/Off logic controls for each power supply (see Figure 7). Or the power up/down cycle is set
by Sequencing or Tracking circuits. Some systems combine both methods.

By properly controlling this Sequence pin, most operations of the discrete

These diagrams illustrate the time and slew rate relationship between two
typical power output voltages. Generally the Master will be a primary power
voltage in the system which must be present first or coincident with any
Slave power voltages. The Master output voltage is connected to the Slave’s
Sequence input, either by a voltage divider, divider-plus-capacitor or some
OFF
Settling
Delay
Sequence/Track Input
A different power sequencing solution is employed on MPS’s LSN2 DC/DC
converter. After external input power is applied and the converter stabilizes,
a high impedance Sequence/Track input pin accepts an external analog voltage. The output power voltage will then track this Sequence/Track input at a
one-to-one ratio up to the nominal set point voltage for that converter. This
Sequencing input may be ramped, delayed, stepped or otherwise phased as
needed for the output power, all fully controlled by the user’s simple external
circuits. As a direct input to the converter’s feedback loop, response to the
Sequence/Track input is very fast (milliseconds).
Power Phasing Architectures
Observe the simplified timing diagrams below. There are many possible power
phasing architectures and these are just some examples to help you analyze
your system. Each application will be different. Multiple output voltages may
require more complex timing than that shown here.
TO OTHER POLs
POL A
If the power up/down timing needs to be closely controlled, each POL
must be characterized for start-up and down times. These often vary—one
POL may stabilize in 15 milliseconds whereas another takes 50 milliseconds.
Another problem is that the sequencing controller itself must be “already
running” and stabilized before starting up other circuits. If there is a glitch in
the system, the power up/down sequencer could get out of step with possible
disastrous results. Lastly, changing the timing may require reprogramming the
logic sequencer or rewriting software.

To use the Sequence pin after power start-up stabilizes, apply a rising external

track the Sequence input (gain = 1). The output voltage will stop rising when
it reaches the normal set point for the converter. The Sequence input may optionally continue to rise without any effect on the output. Keep the Sequence
input voltage below the converter’s input supply voltage.

giving a roughly linear ramp. As POL A reaches 3.3VOUT (the setpoint of POL
B), POL B will stop rising. POL A then continues rising until it reaches 5V. R1
should be significantly smaller than the internal bias current resistor from the
Sequence pin. Start with a 20kW value. We assume that the critical phase is
only on power up therefore there is no provision for ramped power down.

timing for power up.
Guidelines for Sequence/Track Applications
[1] Leave the converter’s On/Off Enable control (if installed) in the On setting.
Normally, you should just leave the On/Off pin open.
[2] Allow the converter to stabilize (typically less than 20 mS after +VIN
power on) before raising the Sequence input. Also, if you wish to have a
ramped power down, leave +VIN powered all during the down ramp. Do
not simply shut off power.
[3] If you do not use the Sequence/Track pin, leave it open or tied to +VIN.
R1
SEQ/TRK
Figure 13. Self-Ramping Power Up
[4] Observe the Output slew rate relative to the Sequence input. A rough
guide is 2 Volts per millisecond maximum slew rate. If you exceed
this slew rate on the Sequence pin, the converter will simply ramp up
at it’s maximum output slew rate (and will not necessarily track the
faster Sequence input). The reason to carefully consider the slew rate
limitation is in case you want two different POL’s to precisely track
each other.
Figure 13 shows a single POL and the same RC network. However, we have
added a FET at Q1 as an up/down control. When VIN power is applied to the
POL, Q1 is biased on, shorting out the Sequence pin. When Q1’s gate is biased
off, R1 charges C1 and the POL’s output ramps up at the R1-C1 slew rate.
Note: Q1’s gate would typically be controlled from some external digital logic.
[5] Be aware of the input characteristics of the Sequence pin. The high
input impedance affects the time constant of any small external ramp
capacitor. And the bias current will slowly charge up any external caps
over time if they are not grounded. The internal pull-up resistor to +VIN is
typically 400kW to 1MW.

Power Good Output
The Power Good Output consists of an unterminated BSS138 small signal
field effect transistor and a dual window comparator input circuit driving the
gate of the FET. Power Good is TRUE (open drain, high impedance state) if the
converter’s power output voltage is within about ±10% of the setpoint. Thus,
the PG TRUE condition indicates that the converter is approximately within
regulation. Since an overcurrent condition occurs at about 2% output voltage
reduction, the Power Good does not directly measure an output overcurrent
condition at rated maximum output current. However, gross overcurrent or
an output short circuit will set Power Good to FALSE (+0.2V saturation, low
impedance condition).

input impedance.
Using a simple connection to external logic (and returned to the converter’s
Common connection), the Power Good output is unterminated so that the user
may adapt the output to a variety of logic families. The PG pin may therefore
be used with logic voltages which are not necessarily the same as the input
or output power voltages. Install an external pullup resistor to the logic supply
voltage which is compatible with your logic system. When the Power Good is
out of limit, the FET is at saturation, approximately +0.2V output. Keep this
LOW (FALSE) pulldown current to less than 10mA.
[10] Any external capacitance added to the converter’s output may affect
ramp up/down times and ramp tracking accuracy.
Please note that Power Good is briefly false during Sequence ramp-up.
Ignore Power Good while in transition.
[8] If one converter is slaving to another master converter, there will be a very
short phase lag between the two converters. This can usually be ignored.
