DESCRIPTION
The UCD9081 power-supply sequencer controls the
enable sequence of up to eight independent voltage
rails and provides four general-purpose digital outputs
(GPO). The device operates from a 3.3-V supply,
provides 3.2-mV resolution of voltage rails, and
requires no external memory or clock. The UCD9081
monitors the voltage rails independently and has a
high degree of rail sequence and alarm response
options. The sequencing of rails can be based on
timed events or on timed events in conjunction with
other rails achieving regulation or a voltage threshold.
In addition, each rail is monitored for undervoltage
and overvoltage glitches and thresholds. Each rail the
UCD9081 monitors can be configured to shut down a
user-defined set of other rails and GPOs, and alarm
conditions are monitored on a per-rail basis.
