PRODUCTION DATA
The output voltage VOUT is sensed at the VOUT-pin. Program VOUT between 6V and 60V by connecting a 10kΩ to 100kΩ resistor at the ATRK/DTRK-pin, applying a voltage between 0.2V and 2V or a digital signal between 8% and 80% duty cycle. At startup during the STANDBY state (Functional State Diagram) the ATRK/DTRK-pin programming method analog signal or digital signal is detected. At the transition to the START PHASE 1 and 2 state the ATRK/DTRK-pin programming method is latched and is unchangeable during operation. Allow a DTRK signal to be present for at least three cycles so that it is detected before the programming method is latched. ATRK supports up to 10kHz signals, however, change the ATRK-pin voltage or the DTRK duty cycle slow enough that VOUT is able to follow. In case the ATRK/DTRK-pin set reference voltage is changed faster than the converters bandwidth, the inductor current exceeds peak current limit until the slope compensation settles. The inductor peak current overshoot is limited to 90mV CSPx − CSNx sense resistor voltage. The device tries to regulate VOUT as well for ATRK < 0.2V or >2V, but performance is not endured. Enable the 20μA current by CFG0 setting for VOUT programming by resistor. The 20μA current is sourced through the ATRK-pin and generates the required ATRK voltage for the target VOUT voltage via the external resistor. For analog tracking (ATRK) or digital tracking (DTRK), TI recommends to disable the 20uA current.
