2.3.3.1. Sequencer 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. |
Component's Clock Frequency | Read-only parameter that specifies the component's input clock frequency.
|
Power Good Debounce Setting | Select the number of clock cycles (2n) that the power good input signal must be stable before the component forwards the signal downstream. |
Power Good Debounce Interval | Calculated parameter that specifies the duration (in µs) for which the power good input must be stable.
|
ADC Streaming Interfaces | Select the number of Avalon® -ST interfaces from the Sequencer ADC Decoder to the Modular ADC Core IP.
|
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. |
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. |
Functionality Level | Select the functionality level of the Sequencer 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. |
Error Logging Level | Select the error logging level of the Sequencer 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. |
Power-on Logging Enable |
This option adjusts the default value for the global and Black Box log enables. They can be dynamically adjusted by software access to the MFR_NV_MASTER_EN command. |
Flash Address Width | The address width for the Flash interface, used for error logging. |
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:
|
Require 'Write Byte' for CLEAR_FAULTS | Change PMBus* command for CLEAR_FAULTS from the default of 'Send Byte' to 'Write Byte'. This is needed for non- PMBus* implementations, such as I2C or any other Avalon® -MM interface, to prevent unintentional clears. |
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
ADC Interface/PG for VIN | Select the interface that transmits the voltage level to the VIN rail:
|
ADC/PG Channel for VIN | Specify the physical ADC channel (ADC0 to ADC8) or power good input bit to map to the VIN rail. |
ADC Interface Number/PG | Select the interface that transmits the voltage level to the VOUT rail:
|
ADC/PG Channel | Specify the physical ADC channel (ADC0 to ADC8) or power good input bit to map to the VOUT rail. |
Parameter | Description | Default Threshold |

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. |
