ADM1203
The ADM1203 is a cascadable Simple Tracker TM device which
ensures that voltage rails track within ~100mV of each other in
multi supply systems. Any number of these devices can be
cascaded to form a multi supply tracking solution.

Applications Diagram
The ADM1203 requires 2.7V to 16.5V on its Vcc pin to operate.
An on-board charge pump generates a high voltage GATE drive
to fully enhance FETs in the power path.

The Slew Rate of the ramp is adjustable via an external capacitor
on the CSLEW pin and can be programmed from 100V/s to
1000V/s. When multiple devices are cascaded the CSLEW pin of
each subsequent device should be tied to the output rail of the
previous device to ensure that supply will track up and down
with the previous supply.

The ADM1203 is offered in four variants. The ADM1203-1/3
features an UP/DOWNb pin and the ADM1203-2/4 features an
Up/STOPb pin. The ADM1203-1/2 features an auto retry on
current RS fault and the ADM1203-3/4 latches off. For all
devices, a high level on the input will initiate tracking power up
sequence. A low on the UP/DOWNb pin of the ADM1203-1/3
will initiate a tracking down of the supply rails, while a low on
the UP/STOPb pin of the ADM1203-2/4 will initiate an
emergency fast shutdown of all supply rails simultaneously.

The ADM1203 features a current sense comparator, which
monitors for an over current condition on the supply. In the
event of an over current condition, a fault is flagged and the gate
is switched off. The ADM1203-1/2 will auto retry this fault at
