3 Description
The LM3881 Simple Power Sequencer offers the
easiest method to control power up and power down
of multiple power supplies (switching or linear
regulators). By staggering the start-up sequence, it is
possible to avoid latch conditions or large inrush
currents that can affect the reliability of the system.
Available in VSSOP-8 package, the Simple
Sequencer contains a precision enable pin and three
open-drain output flags. When the LM3881 is
enabled, the three output flags will sequentially
release, after individual time delays, thus permitting
the connected power supplies to start up. The output
flags will follow a reverse sequence during power
down to avoid latch conditions. Time delays are
defined using an external capacitor and the output
flag states can be inverted by the user.
