When the input voltage falls below 9 volts, or the power switch transitions to the "OFF" position, the LTC2974s
perform a time-based off sequence and the rails come down in the following order:
1.
MGTVAUX
2.
VCC1V5, QDRVTT, and DDRVTT
3.
VCC3V3
4.
MGTAVTT
5.
MGTAVCC
6.
VCC2V0
7.
VCC1V8
8.
VCC1V0
Figure 8. Power ON/OFF sequence.
The LTC2974s constantly monitor the output voltage, current, and temperature associated with each channel
(supply rail). This information, referred to as telemetry data, is used to determine the on status of each supply rail,
as well as monitor for fault and warning conditions. When a fault or a warning occurs, the FPGA application may be
notified via an interrupt that is signaled by the LTC2974's ALERTB, AUXFAULTB, or FAULTB1 pins. The FPGA
application may then read (using I2C) one or more of the LTC2974 status registers (defined in the datasheet) to
determine the source of the fault or the warning. The output voltage, current, power, and temperature associated
with any channel may also be read using the applicable PMBUS (I2C) commands, which are defined in the LTC2974
datasheet.
In order to generate faults and warnings, each channel of the LTC2974 must be configured with a nominal output
voltage, under voltage warning limit, over voltage fault limit, under current warning limit, over current warning
limit, over current fault limit, under current fault limit, under temperature warning limit, under temperature fault
limit, and over temperature fault limit. Tables 2 and 3 describe the voltage and current limits as pre-configured by
Digilent during the manufacturing process.
