INTRODUCTION
The SMT4214 is a fully integrated programmable
voltage manager IC, providing supervisory functions
and tracking control for up to four independent power
supplies. The four internal managers perform the
following functions: Monitor source (bus-side) voltages
for under-voltage conditions, monitor back end (card-
side) voltages for under-voltage conditions, insure
voltage of the card-side tracks within the specified
parametric limits, and provides supply status
information to a host processor.
The SMT4214 incorporates nonvolatile
programmable circuits for setting all of the monitored
thresholds for each manager. Individual functions are
also programmable allowing interrupts or reset
conditions to be generated by user-defined
combinations of events.
Programming of configuration and control values
by the user can be simplified with the interface adapter
(SMX3200) and Windows GUI software obtainable
from Summit Microelectronics.

Power supply and system start-up initialization using multiple SMT4214s. Two power supply
channels are set to ‘softstart’ and three are set to track.
The above drawing illustrates the use of the SMT4214 in a multi-device application. It should be noted this is just an example and the specific component
values are purposely not shown. Note 1 - Several pins have internal resistors so external resistors are optional (see the Internal Functional Block
Diagram). If external resistors are used they should be tied to VDD_CAP on the Master.
