OUTPUTS

SUPPLY SEQUENCING THROUGH CONFIGURABLE

OUTPUT DRIVERS

Supply sequencing is achieved with the ADM1067 using the

programmable driver outputs (PDOs) on the device as control

signals for supplies. The output drivers can be used as logic

enables or as FET drivers.

The sequence in which the PDOs are asserted (and, therefore,

the supplies are turned on) is controlled by the sequencing

engine (SE). The SE determines what action is to be taken with

the PDOs based on the condition of the ADM1067 inputs.

Therefore, the PDOs can be set up to assert when the SFDs are

in tolerance, the correct input signals are received on the VXn

digital pins, no warnings are received from any of the inputs of

the device, and so on. The PDOs can be used for a variety of

functions. The primary function is to provide enable signals for

LDOs or dc-to-dc converters that generate supplies locally on a

board. The PDOs can also be used to provide a POWER_GOOD

signal when all the SFDs are in tolerance, or a RESET output if

one of the SFDs goes out of specification (this can be used as a

status signal for a DSP, FPGA, or other microcontroller).

The PDOs can be programmed to pull up to a number of

different options. The outputs can be programmed as follows:

•

Open-drain (allowing the user to connect an external pull-

up resistor)

•

Open-drain with weak pull-up to VDD

•

Open-drain with strong pull-up to VDD

•

Open-drain with weak pull-up to VPn

•

Open-drain with strong pull-up to VPn

•

Strong pull-down to GND

•

Internally charge-pumped high drive (12 V, PDO1 to

PDO6 only)

The last option (available only on PDO1 to PDO6) allows the

user to directly drive a voltage high enough to fully enhance an

external N-FET, which is used to isolate, for example, a card-

side voltage from a backplane supply (a PDO can sustain greater

than 10.5 V into a 1 μA load). The pull-down switches can also

be used to drive status LEDs directly.

The data driving each of the PDOs can come from one of three

sources. The source can be enabled in the PDOnCFG configu-

ration register (see the AN-698 Application Note for details).

The data sources are as follows:

•

Output from the SE.

•

Directly from the SMBus. A PDO can be configured so the

SMBus has direct control over it. This enables software

control of the PDOs. Therefore, a microcontroller can be

used to initiate a software power-up/power-down

sequence.

•

On-Chip Clock. A 100 kHz clock is generated on the

device. This clock can be made available on any of the

PDOs. It can be used, for example, to clock an external

device such as an LED.
