• Manufacturer Part Number: SMM764
• Description: Four-channel Active Dc Output Controller, Monitor, Marginer And Sequencer With Sequence-link
• Manufacturer: SUMMIT Microelectronics, Inc:

The SMM764 is a highly integrated and accurate
power supply controller, monitor, and sequencer. Each
device has the ability to automatically control, monitor
and cascade sequence up to 4 power supplies. In
addition, the SMM764 includes Sequence-Link a
feature that allows for the seamless integration of
other
sequencing of up to 46 channels. The SMM764 can
monitor the VDD input, the 12V input, two general-
purpose analog inputs, and the internal temperature
sensor.

margining mode using Active DC Output Control
(ADOC
Power-on sequencing is initiated by the rising edge of
the PWR_ON pin. During power-on sequencing the
SMM764 will sequence the power supply channels on,
in any order, by activating the PUP outputs and
monitoring the respective converter voltages to ensure
cascading of the supplies. Cascade sequencing is the
ability to hold off the next sequenced supply until the
first supply reaches a programmed threshold. A
programmable sequence termination timer can be set
to disable all channels if the power-on sequence stalls.
Once all supplies have sequenced on and the voltages
are above the UV settings, the ADOC, if enabled, will
bring the supply voltages to their nominal settings.
During this mode, the HEALTHY output will remain
inactive and the RST# output will remain active.
Once the power-on sequencing mode is complete, the
SMM764 enters monitor mode. In the monitor mode,
the SMM764 starts the ADOC control of the supplies
and adjusts the output voltage to the programmed
setting under all load conditions, especially useful for
supplies without sense lines. Typical converters have
±2% accuracy ratings for their output voltage; the
ADOC feature of the SMM764 increases the accuracy
to ±0.2% (using a ±0.1% external voltage

sequencing ensures that all supplies in the previous sequence position are valid before the next channel is
released. Using the SMM764 any order of supply sequencing can be applied.

While the SMM764 is in its monitoring mode, an I
command to margin the supply voltages can bring the
part into margining mode.
SMM764 can margin 4 supply voltages in any
combination of nominal, high and low voltage settings
using the ADOC feature, all to within ±0.2% using a
±0.1% external reference. The margin high and low
