Description
The MAX6877 voltage tracker/sequencer can track or sequence up to three voltages. Use the TRACK/SEQ pin to select
tracking or sequencing. The device will either track or sequence the three voltages, but it cannot track and sequence
simultaneously. Power-up begins when EN/active-low UV is asserted and all three input voltages are above their
thresholds. In the example circuit in Figure 1, EN/active-low UV is connected to the 12V bus, so the circuit will turn
on when the bus exceeds its threshold and turn off when it falls under its threshold.
