Output Voltage Tracking

Section 2.3.1describes how to setup the evaluation module for dynamic output voltage tracking.

The LM5123EVM-BST is typically configured to have fixed output voltage of 24 V. Figure 2-2 shows the resistor divider connection from the REF pin to the TRK pin that sets the output voltage to 24 V. RVREFT is R24 and RVREFB is R26 referring to the schematic.

To dynamically change the output voltage, RVREFT and RVEFB are removed and the TRK pin voltage is driven directly to change the output voltage. See the data sheet for selecting the voltage range of the LM5123-Q1 and setting the TRK pin voltage to produce the desired output voltage. Figure 2-3 shows the configuration to change the output voltage dynamically. RSET is R25 in the schematic.

To recreate the waveforms in Section 4.7, RSET is set to be 24.9 kΩ and the TRK pin is driven between 400 mV and 550 mV, setting the output voltage to 24 V and 33V respectively.
