CAR BATTERY AND INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
SUPPLY MONITORING
The AD5100 has two high voltage monitoring inputs with shut-
down and reset controls over external devices. For example, the
V1MON and V2MON can be used to monitor the signals from
a car battery and an ignition key in an automobile, respectively
(see Figure 24). The shutdown output can be connected to the
shutdown pin of an external regulator to prevent false condi-
tions such as a weak battery or overcharging of a battery by an
alternator. The reset output can be used to reset the processor in
the event of a hardware or software malfunction. An example of
the input and output responses of this circuit is shown in Figure 25.
