DESIGN HINT
If the pre-biased is greater than the regulation voltage, the controller does not start. This is a
condition of an overvoltage being applied before the controller starts PWM switching.
5.6 TRACK FUNCTION IN CONFIGURING A SLAVE CHANNEL
The TRKx pin is internally clamped to 2.4 V. To configure a channel as a slave, the TRKx pin is pulled up
externally to 5 V. This configures the output of the error amplifier, COMPx, for that channel to be a high
impedance, allowing the master COMP signal to control the slave channel.
