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 Ratio-metric startup. together for Ratio-metric 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
400 µ s after Output 1 has reached regulation; that is, sequential startup where Output 2 is slave to Output 1. If
EN1 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.

NOTE:
An R-C network connected to the ENx pin may be used in addition to the SEQ pin in
sequential mode to delay the startup of the first output voltage. This approach may be
necessary in systems with a large number of output voltages and elaborate voltage
sequencing requirements. See Enable and Timed Turn On of the Outputs .
