SMM150
Preliminary Information 1 (See Last Page)
Single-Channel Supply Voltage Marginer/Monitor
FEATURES
INTRODUCTION
The SMM150 is a highly accurate power supply
voltage supervisor and environmental monitor with
provisions for voltage margining of the monitored supply.
The part includes an internal voltage reference to
accurately monitor and margin the supply to within ±1%.
The SMM150 has the capability to margin over a wide
range from 0.3V to VDD using the internal reference and
can read the value of the supply over the I2C bus using
an on-chip 10-bit ADC. The monitor and margin levels
are set using the I2C serial bus. The SMM150 initiates
margining via the I2C bus or by using the MUP or MDN
inputs. Once the pre-programmed margin target voltage
is reached, the SMM150 holds the converter at this
voltage until receiving an I2C command or de-asserting
the margin input pin. When the SMM150 is not
margining, the TRIM output pin is held in a high
impedance state allowing the converter to operate at its
nominal set point. Two general purpose input pins are
provided for sensing under or overvoltage conditions. A
programmable glitch filter associated with these inputs
allows the user to ignore spurious noise signals. A
FAULT# pin is asserted once either input set point is
exceeded.
