Notice in the simplified Sequence/Track equivalent circuit (Figure 15) that
a blocking diode effectively disconnects this circuit when the Sequence/
Track pin is pulled up to +V
IN or left open.
Power Good Output
The Power Good Output consists of an unterminated BSS138 small signal
field effect transistor and a dual window comparator input circuit driving the
gate of the FET. Power Good is TRUE (open drain, high impedance state) if the
converter’s power output voltage is within about ±10% of the setpoint. Thus,
the PG TRUE condition indicates that the converter is approximately within
regulation. Since an overcurrent condition occurs at about 2% output voltage
reduction, the Power Good does not directly measure an output overcurrent
condition at rated maximum output current. However, gross overcurrent or
an output short circuit will set Power Good to FALSE (+0.2V saturation, low
impedance condition).

[6] Allow the converter to eventually achieve its full-rated setpoint output
voltage. Do not remain in ramp up/down mode indefinitely. The converter
is characterized and meets all its specifications only at the setpoint
voltage (plus or minus any trim voltage). During the ramp-up phase, the
converter is not considered fully in regulation. This may affect perfor-
mance with excessive high current loads at turn-on.
[7] The Sequence is a sensitive input into the feedback control loop of the
converter. Avoid noise and long leads on this input. Keep all wiring very
short. Use shielding if necessary. Consider adding a small parallel ce-
ramic capacitor across the Sequence/Track input (see Figure 14) to block
any external high frequency noise.
[8] If one converter is slaving to another master converter, there will be a very
short phase lag between the two converters. This can usually be ignored.
[9] You may connect two or more Sequence inputs in parallel from two
converters. Be aware of the increasing pull-up bias current and reduced
input impedance.
[10] Any external capacitance added to the converter’s output may affect
ramp up/down times and ramp tracking accuracy.

Figure 16. Equivalent Power Good Circuit
Using a simple connection to external logic (and returned to the converter’s
Common connection), the Power Good output is unterminated so that the user
may adapt the output to a variety of logic families. The PG pin may therefore
be used with logic voltages which are not necessarily the same as the input
or output power voltages. Install an external pullup resistor to the logic supply
voltage which is compatible with your logic system. When the Power Good is
out of limit, the FET is at saturation, approximately +0.2V output. Keep this
LOW (FALSE) pulldown current to less than 10mA.
Please note that Power Good is briefly false during Sequence ramp-up.
Ignore Power Good while in transition.
