GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADM1168 Super Sequencer® is a configurable supervisory/
sequencing device that offers a single-chip solution for supply
monitoring and sequencing in multiple supply systems.
The device also provides up to eight programmable inputs for
monitoring undervoltage faults, overvoltage faults, or out-of-window
faults on up to eight supplies. In addition, eight programmable
outputs can be used as logic enables. Six of these programmable
outputs can also provide up to a 12 V output for driving the gate
of an NFET that can be placed in the path of a supply.
The logical core of the device is a sequencing engine. This state
machine-based construction provides up to 63 different states.
This design enables very flexible sequencing of the outputs based
on the condition of the inputs.
A block of nonvolatile EEPROM is available that can be used to
store user-defined information and may also be used to hold a
number of fault records that are written by the sequencing engine
defined by the user when a particular fault or sequence occurs.
The ADM1168 is controlled via configuration data that can be
programmed into an EEPROM. The whole configuration can be
programmed using an intuitive GUI-based software package
provided by Analog Devices, Inc.
