- TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICSThe electrical characteristic data has been developed from actual products tested at 25C. This data is considered typical for the converter. Applies to , , and .The temperature derating curves represent the conditions at which internal components are at or below the manufacturer's maximum operating temperatures. Derating limits apply to modules soldered directly to a 100 mm x 100 mm double-sided PCB with 2 oz. copper. For surface mount packages (AS and AZ suffix), multiple vias must be utilized. Please refer to the mechanical specification for more information. Applies to .

1. The Track pin voltage must be allowed to rise above the module set-point voltage before the module
regulates at its adjusted set-point voltage.
2. The Auto-Track function tracks almost any voltage ramp during power up, and is compatible with ramp
speeds of up to 1 V/ms.
3. The absolute maximum voltage that may be applied to the Track pin is the input voltage V
I
.
4. The module cannot follow a voltage at its track control input until it has completed its soft-start initialization.
This takes about 20 ms from the time that a valid voltage has been applied to its input. During this period, it
is recommended that the Track pin be held at ground potential.
5. The Auto-Track function is disabled by connecting the Track pin to the input voltage (V
I
). When Auto-Track is
disabled, the output voltage rises according to its softstart rate after input power has been applied.
6. The Auto-Track pin should never be used to regulate the module's output voltage for long-term, steady-state
operation.
