3 Description
The UCD91160 device is a 16-rail PMBus controlled
power sequencer in a 64-pin QFP package.
Dedicated pins (MONx) monitor up to 16 voltage rails
in either analog or digital modes. 16 rail enable (ENx)
pins allow regulators to be sequenced. 8 margining
(MARx) pins can be used to push regulators to high or
low limits (margins) for testing, or actively trim outputs
for enhanced accuracy. The output state of 16 logical
GPO (LGPOx) pins can be controlled by the state of
GPIs, rail status, and other LGPOs.
Nonvolatile event logging preserves fault events after
power dropout. The Black Box Fault Log preserves
the fault information and the status of all rails. The
black box fault log records the first and last fault event
before a power down. The cascading feature offers
convenient ways to manage up to 64 voltage rails.
A user defined fault pin coordinates the cascaded
devices to take synchronized fault responses.
The user can select up to 8 groups of rail
configurations using 3 GPIs. These configurations can
implement system low-power modes as outlined in the
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
specification.
The Sequencer Studio™ software is an intuitive PCbased
graphic user interface (GUI) that can configure,
store, and monitor all system operating parameters.
