4-Channel PMBus Power System Manager
Featuring Accurate Output Current Measurement
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
Sequence, Trim, Margin and Supervise Four Power
TheLTC®2974isa4-channelPowerSystemManagerused
to sequence, trim (servo), margin, supervise, manage
faults, provide telemetry and create fault logs. PMBus
commands support power supply sequencing, precision
point-of-load voltage adjustment and margining. DACs
use a proprietary soft-connect algorithm to minimize
supply disturbances. Supervisory functions include over
and under current, voltage and temperature threshold
limits for four power supply output channels as well as
over and under voltage threshold limits for a single power
supply input channel. Programmable fault responses
can disable the power supplies with optional retry after a
fault is detected. Faults that disable a power supply can
automatically trigger black box EEPROM storage of fault
status and associated telemetry. An internal 16-bit ADC
monitors four output voltages, four output currents, four
external temperatures, one input voltage and die tempera-
ture. Output power is also calculated. A programmable
watchdog timer monitors microprocessor activity for a
stalled condition and resets the microprocessor if neces-
sary.Asinglewirebussynchronizespowersuppliesacross
multiple LTC Power System Management (PSM) devices.
Configuration EEPROM with ECC supports autonomous
operation without additional software.
