THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5100 is a programmable system management IC that
has four channels of monitoring inputs. Three inputs have
high voltage (30 V) capability. For example, if the AD5100 is
used in an automotive application, V
1MON
(Monitoring Input 1)
can be connected to the battery and the V
2MON
can be connected
to the ignition switch, a rising edge trigger wake-up signal, or
the media-oriented systems transport (MOST) wake-up signal
(V
4MON
is connected to V
2MON
for MOST applications). Two
other inputs, V
3MON
and V
4MON
, are designed for low voltage
monitoring, with programmable thresholds from 2.93 V to
7.96 V. The two high voltage monitoring inputs control the
shutdown signal, SHDN and reset signal, RESET, while the two
low voltage monitoring inputs control the reset signal, RESET.
SHDN and RESET are both disabling signals for external devices.
The differences between these two outputs are in output level
and driving capabilities, as described in the
section.
The WDI (watchdog) and
MR (manual reset) inputs also
control the RESET output, for use with an external digital
processor.
