Linear Technology
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2921 and LTC2922 monitor up to five supplies and force them to track on power-up in multiple supply systems. Using external N-channel pass transistors, the supplies can be ramped up at an adjustable rate. Automatic remote sense switching allows the DC/DC converters to compensate for series voltage drops in the wiring. An incorrect level on one or more of the supplies triggers disconnect of all supplies. Tight 1% accuracy and glitch immunity on the low 0.5V monitoring level ensure no false error disconnects.
