Sequential Start-up
Ratio-Metric
Sequential start-up (Figure 27) is implemented by placing
an On/Off control circuit between VoPS1 and the On/Off pin
of PS2.
Ratio–metric (Figure 29) is implemented by placing the
voltage divider on the TRACK pin that comprises R1 and
R2, to create a proportional voltage with VoPS1 to the
Track pin of PS2.

Simultaneous
Simultaneous tracking (Figure 28) is implemented by
using the TRACK pin. The objective is to minimize the
voltage difference between the power supply outputs
during power up and down.

The simultaneous tracking can be accomplished by
connecting VoPS1 to the TRACK pin of PS2. Please note
the voltage apply to TRACK pin needs to always higher
than the VoPS2 set point voltage.
