INTRODUCTION
The SMM766 is an Active DC Output power supply
Controller (ADOC^TM) that monitors, margins, and
cascade sequences. The ADOC feature is unique and
maintains extremely accurate settings of system
supply voltages to within ±0.2% under full load. The
SMM766 actively controls up to 6 DC/DC converters
and can be linked with up to 7 other Sequence-Link™
devices to accommodate sequencing of up to 48
channels. Control of the DC-DC converters is
accomplished through the use of a Trim or Regulator
VADJ/FB pin to adjust the output voltage. For system
test, the part also controls margining of the supplies
using I²C commands. It can margin supplies with
either positive or negative control within a range of
0.3V to VDD, depending on the specified range of the
converter. The SMM766 also intelligently sequences
or cascades the power supplies on and off in any
order using enable outputs with programmable
polarity. It can operate off any intermediate bus supply
ranging from 6V to 14V or from 5.5V to as low as 2.7V.
The part monitors 6 power supply channels as well as
VDD, 12V input, two general-purpose analog inputs
and an internal temperature sensor using a 10-bit
ADC. The 10-bit ADC can measure the value on any
one of the monitor channels and output the data via
the I²C bus. A host system can communicate with the
SMM766 status register, margining and utilize 2K-bits
of nonvolatile memory.
