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 (see Functional State Diagram) the ATRK/DTRK-pin programming method analog signal or digital signal is detected. At the transition to the START state the ATRK/DTRK-pin programming method is latched and cannot be changed during operation. Allow a DTRK signal to be present for at least three cycles so that the DTRK signal is detected before the programming method latches. 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 device tries to regulate VOUT as well for ATRK < 0.2V or > 2V, but performance is not endured. Enable the 20μA current by SYNCOUT 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.
