2.3.4.1. Sequencer Voltage Monitor Parameter Settings
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Output Voltage Rails | Specify the number of output voltage rails to sequence. The number must match the value you specify in the other components of the system. Otherwise, the interface bus widths between components will not match. |
Power Good Inputs | Specify the number of power good inputs to monitor. The number must match the value you specify in the other components of the system. Otherwise, the interface bus widths between components will not match. |
ADC Reference Voltage | Specify the reference voltage value. The component uses this value to calculate the various power good, undervoltage, and overvoltage thresholds to compare to the ADC output. |
Functionality Level | Select the functionality level of the Sequencer Voltage Monitor component:
This option allows you to optimize the design and reduce its overall logic footprint. For the logic utilization estimates, refer to the related information. |
ADC Samples to Check | Specify the number of contiguous ADC samples to check per input before declaring a warning or a fault such as overvoltage, undervoltage, and power good on or off. |
Retry Attempts | Specify the number of attempts the Power Sequencer component should make to sequence power up—following a complete, controlled sequence down—after detecting an error condition. |
Timeout Interval on Retry | Select the delay interval the Power Sequencer component waits before retrying the power up sequence:
|
Parameter | Description | Default Threshold |
---|---|---|
VIN/VOUTN Typical Voltage, Monitored | Specify the typical voltage level that you expect to observe at the ADC analog input. In your expectation, include the effect of all voltage divider circuitries on the board. |
— |
VIN/VOUTN Overvoltage Fault | Specify the percentage of the VIN/VOUTN Typical Voltage, Monitored at which to declare an overvoltage fault. |
107% |
VIN/VOUTN Overvoltage Warning | Specify the percentage of the VIN/VOUTN Typical Voltage, Monitored at which to declare an overvoltage warning. |
105% |
VIN/VOUTN Undervoltage Warning | Specify the percentage of the VIN/VOUTN Typical Voltage, Monitored at which to declare an undervoltage warning. |
97% |
VIN ON Level (VIN tab only) |
Specify the percentage of the VIN Typical Voltage, Monitored at which to consider the monitored input rail as good and start the power up sequencing of the output rails. |
97% |
VOUT Power Good Assertion Level (VOUTN tabs only) |
Specify the percentage of the VOUTN Typical Voltage, Monitored at which to consider the output voltage of the rail as good and start the power up sequencing of the next output rail. |
97% |
VIN/VOUTN Undervoltage Fault | Specify the percentage of the VIN/VOUTN Typical Voltage, Monitored at which to declare an undervoltage fault. |
93% |
VIN OFF Level (VIN tab only) |
Specify the percentage of the VIN Typical Voltage, Monitored at which to consider the monitored input rail as bad and start the power down sequencing of all rails. |
90% |
VOUTN Power Good Deassertion Level (VOUTN tabs only) |
Specify the percentage of the VOUTN Typical Voltage, Monitored at which to consider the output voltage of the rail as bad and start the power down sequencing of all rails. |
90% |
Overvoltage Faults cause controlled sequence down | Turn this on to sequence power down for all rails, based on the fault response, if the component detects an overvoltage fault in the VIN or VOUTN rail. |
— |
Undervoltage Faults cause controlled sequence down | Turn this on to sequence power down for all rails, based on the fault response, if the component detects an undervoltage fault in the VIN or VOUTN rail. |
