APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Input RMS Ripple Current Cancellation

Application Note 77 provides a detailed explanation of mul-

tiphase operation. The input RMS ripple current cancella-

tion mathematical derivations are presented, and a graph

is displayed representing the RMS ripple current reduc-

tion as a function of the number of interleaved phases.

Figure 4 shows this graph.

Soft-Start And Output Voltage Tracking

The TRACK/SS pin provides a means to either soft start

the regulator or track it to a different power supply. A

capacitor on the TRACK/SS pin will program the ramp

rate of the output voltage. An internal 6µA current source

will charge up the external soft-start capacitor towards

INTVCC voltage. When the TRACK/SS voltage is below

0.5V, it will take over the internal 0.5V reference voltage

to control the output voltage. The total soft-start time can

be calculated as:

tSS =0.5•

CSS

6µA

where CSS is the capacitance on the TRACK/SS pin. Cur-

rent foldback and forced continuous mode are disabled

during the soft-start process.

Output voltage tracking can also be programmed exter-

nally using the TRACK/SS pin. The output can be tracked

up and down with another regulator. Figure 5 and Figure 6

show an example waveform and schematic of ratiometric

tracking where the slave regulator’s output slew rate is

proportional to the master’s.
