The value for resistor R

selected to be between 10 kΩ and 1 MΩ. Once the value for

below to set the desired turn-on voltage.
When designing for a specific turn-on threshold (V
erance on the input supply, enable threshold (V
external resistors needs to be considered to insure proper
turn-on of the device.
The LM20136 features an open drain power good (PGOOD)
pin to sequence external supplies or loads and to provide fault
detection. This pin requires an external resistor (R
PGOOD high while when the output is within the PGOOD tol-
erance window. Typical values for this resistor range from 10
kΩ to 100 kΩ.
TRACKING AN EXTERNAL SUPPLY
By using a properly chosen resistor divider network connect-
ed to the SS/TRK pin, as shown in Figure 8, the output of the
LM20136 can be configured to track an external voltage
source to obtain a simultaneous or ratiometric start up.
Since the Soft-Start charging current I
the SS/TRK pin, the size of R2 should be less than 10 kΩ to
minimize the errors in the tracking output. Once a value for
R2 is selected the value for R1 can be calculated using ap-
propriate equation in Figure 9, to give the desired start up.
Figure 9 shows two common start up sequences; the top
waveform shows a simultaneous start up while the waveform
at the bottom illustrates a ratiometric start up.

A simultaneous start up is preferred when powering most FP-
GAs, DSPs, or other microprocessors. In these systems the
higher voltage, V
voltage, V
vides a more robust power up for these applications since it
avoids turning on any parasitic conduction paths that may ex-
ist between the core and the I/O pins of the processor..
The second most common power on behavior is known as a
ratiometric start up. This start up is preferred in applications
where both supplies need to be at the final value at the same
time.
Similar to the Soft-Start function, the fastest start up possible
is 1ms regardless of the rise time of the tracking voltage.
When using the track feature the final voltage seen by the SS/
TRACK pin should exceed 1V to provide sufficient overdrive
and transient immunity.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The thermal characteristics of the LM20136 are specified us-
ing the parameter θ
to the ambient temperature. Although the value of θ
pendant on many variables, it still can be used to approximate
the operating junction temperature of the device.
To obtain an estimate of the device junction temperature, one
may use the following relationship:
