Octal PMBus Power Supply
DescripTion
The LTC
ply monitor, supervisor, sequencer and margin control-
ler. PMBus functions include warning and fault OV/UV
threshold pairs for eight output channels and one input
channel. Programmable fault response allows the power
supplies to be disabled with optional retry after a fault has
been detected. PMBus reads allow eight output voltages
and one input voltage to be monitored. In addition, odd
numbered channels can substitute sense resistor voltage
measurements for output voltage measurements. PMBus
commands support power supply sequencing and precision
point-of-load voltage servo to one of three programmed
values: margin high, margin low and nominal. A program-
mable watchdog timer monitors microprocessor activity
for a stalled condition and resets the micro if necessary.
The 1-wire synchronization bus supports power supply
sequencing across multiple LTC2978 devices. User pro-
grammable parameters can be stored in EEPROM. Voltage
supervisor, voltage monitor and temperature faults can
also be logged to EEPROM.

... Antialiasing Filter Considerations Extremely noisy environments may require an antialiasing filter on the input to the LTC2978’s ADC. The R-C circuit shown in Figure 19 is adequate for most situations. Keep V IN 4.5V < V < 15V IBUS V 0.1µ 0.1µF R40 = R50 ≤ 200Ω to minimize ADC gain errors, and select a value for capacitors C10 and C20 that doesn’ ...

In addition, any device sharing I have body diodes between the SDA/SCL pins and its V node because this will interfere with bus communication in the absence of system power ...

... PC Board Layout Mechanical stress board and soldering-induced stress can cause the LTC2978’s reference voltage and voltage drift to shift. A simple way to reduce these stress- related shifts is to mount the IC near the short edge of the PC board corner. The board edge acts as a stress boundary region where the flexure of the board is minimal ...
