The enable inputs in conjunction with digital soft-start
and soft-stop provide coincident/ratiometric tracking.
Track an output voltage by connecting a resistive
divider from the output being tracked to its enable
input. For example, for V
V
FB2, from V
Track ratiometrically by connecting EN_ to SGND. This
synchonizes the soft-start and soft-stop of all the regu-
lator references, and hence their respective output volt-
ages will track ratiometrically (see Figure 2).
When the MAX15021 regulators are configured as volt-
age trackers, output short-circuit fault conditions at
either master or slave output are handled carefully—nei-
ther the master nor slave output will remain energized

when the other output is shorted to ground. When the
slave is shorted and enters hiccup mode, the master will
soft-stop. When the master is shorted and the part
enters in hiccup mode, the slave will ratiometrically soft-
stop. Coming out of hiccup mode, both outputs will soft-
start coincidently or ratiometrically depending on their
initial configuration. During the thermal shutdown or
power-off when the input falls below its UVLO, the out-
put voltages decrease at a rate depending on the
respective output capacitance and load.
See Figure 1 for a graphical representation of coinci-
dent/ratiometric tracking.
When sequencing, the voltage at the enable inputs
must exceed 1.225V (typ) for each PWM controller to
start (see Figure 1c).
