LTC2978
Octal Digital Power Supply
Manager with EEPROM
DescripTion
The
LTC
®
2978
is an octal, digital power-supply monitor,
supervisor, sequencer, and margin controller. Eight output
channels can be managed per user defined configura-
tion settings. Supervisory functions include fault OV/UV
threshold limits for eight output channels and one input
channel. Programmable fault dependencies and responses
allow the power supplies to be disabled with optional retry
after a fault has been detected. Serial bus telemetry allows
eight output voltages, one input voltage, die temperature
and fault status to be monitored. In addition, odd num-
bered channels can be configured to measure the voltage
across a current sense resistor. Power supply sequencing,
precision point-of-load voltage adjustment and margining
are supported with PMBus commands. A programmable
watchdog timer monitors microprocessor activity for a
stalled condition and resets the microprocessor if neces-
sary. The 1-wire synchronization bus supports power
supply sequencing across multiple LTC digital power
devices. User programmable parameters can be stored
in EEPROM. Faults and telemetry data can be logged to
EEPROM for diagnostic analysis.
