Super Sequencer and Monitor
Preliminary Technical Data
ADM1068
FEATURES
Complete supervisory and sequencing solution for up to
8 supplies
8 supply fault detectors enable supervision of supplies to
better than 1% accuracy
4 selectable input attenuators allow supervision:
Supplies up to 14.4 V on VH
Supplies up to 6 V on VP1–3
4 dual-function inputs, VX1–4
High impedance input to supply fault detector with
thresholds between 0.573 V and 1.375 V
General-purpose logic input
8 programmable output drivers (PDO1–8):
Open collector with external pull-up
Push/pull output, driven to VDDCAP or VPn
Open collector with weak pull-up to VDDCAP or VPn
Internally charge-pumped high drive for use with external
N-FET (PDO1–6 only)
Sequencing engine (SE) implements state machine control of
PDO outputs:
State changes conditional on input events
Enables complex control of boards
Power-up and power-down sequence control
Fault event handling
Interrupt generation on warnings
Watchdog function can be integrated in SE
Program software control of sequencing through SMBus
Device powered by the highest of VP1–3, VH for improved
redundancy
User EEPROM: 256 bytes
Industry-standard 2-wire bus interface (SMBus)
Guaranteed PDO low with VH, VPn = 1.2 V
32-lead 7 mm × 7 mm LQFP package
