The TPS5428x allows single-pin programming of output voltage startup sequencing. During power-on, the state
of the SEQ pin is detected. Based on whether the pin is tied to BP, to GND, or left floating, the outputs behave
as described in Table 1 .

Independent or Ratiometric, Output 1 Active. EN1 and EN2 must be tied Active. EN1 and EN2 must be tied
(floating)
and Output 2 together for Ratiometric startup. together for Ratiometric startup.
If the SEQ pin is connected to BP, then when Output 2 is enabled, Output 1 is allowed to start approximately 400
µ s after Output 2 has reached regulation; that is, sequential startup where Output 1 is slave to Output 2. If EN2
is allowed to go high after the outputs have been operating, then both outputs are disabled immediately, and the
output voltages decay according to the load that is present.
If the SEQ pin is connected to GND, then when Output 1 is enabled, Output 2 is allowed to start approximately
