INTRODUCTION
The SMM150 is a highly accurate power supply
voltage supervisor and environmental monitor with
provisions for voltage margining of the monitored supply.
The part includes an internal voltage reference to
accurately monitor and margin the supply to within ±1%.
The SMM150 has the capability to margin over a wide
range from 0.3V to VDD using the internal reference and
can read the value of the supply over the I
2
C bus using
an on-chip 10-bit ADC. The monitor and margin levels
are set using the I
2
C serial bus. The SMM150 initiates
margining via the I
2
C bus or by using the M
UP
or M
DN
inputs. Once the pre-programmed margin target voltage
is reached, the SMM150 holds the converter at this
voltage until receiving an I
2
C command or de-asserting
the margin input pin. When the SMM150 is not
margining, the TRIM output pin is held in a high
impedance state allowing the converter to operate at its
nominal set point. Two general purpose input pins are
provided for sensing under or overvoltage conditions. A
programmable glitch filter associated with these inputs
allows the user to ignore spurious noise signals. A
FAULT# pin is asserted once either input set point is
exceeded.
Using the I
2
C interface, a host system can communicate
with the SMM150 status register and utilize 256-bytes of
nonvolatile memory.

SMM150
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SMM150 is capable of margining the DC output
voltage of LDOs or DC/DC converters that use a
trim/adjust pin. The Margin function is programmable
over a standard 2-wire I
2
C serial data interface and is
used to set the margin low/high DC output voltages.
In margining mode the user communicates with the
SMM150 via the I
2
C serial data bus to select the
desired values for margining. This allows the part to
margin the supplies up or down to these set values
either through asserting the MUP and MDN pins or by
writing to the margin register directly. The margin high
and margin low voltage settings can range from 0.3V
to VDD around the converter’s nominal output voltage
setting depending on the specified margin range of the
DC-DC converter and/or system components, usually
±
10%.
When the SMM150 receives the command to margin,
the TRIM output will begin adjusting the supply to the
selected margin voltage. This is accomplished by
incrementing (or decrementing) an internal counter
based on the digital comparison between the voltage
margin target value and that read by the ADC from the
VM input. This operation is repeated until the 2 values
are equal, after which the SMM150 holds the TRIM
output pin at the voltage required to maintain the
margin setting. An I
2
C command or de-assertion of the
MUP/MDN pin will return the TRIM output pin to a high
impedance state thus allowing the converter to return
to its nominal operating voltage.
The SMM150 has two additional input pins and one
additional output pin. The input pins, COMP1 and
COMP2, are high impedance inputs, each connected
to a comparator and compared against the internal
reference (VREF, 0.5V or 1.25V). Each comparator
can be independently programmed to monitor for UV
or OV. When either of the COMP1 or COMP2 inputs
are in fault the open-drain FAULT# output will be
pulled low. A configuration option exists to disable the
FAULT# output during margining.
Programming of the SMM150 is performed over the
industry standard I
2
C 2-wire serial data interface. A
status register is available to read the state of the part
and a Write Protect (WP) pin is available to prevent
writing to the configuration registers and EE memory.

Pin Description
The address pins are biased either to VDD, GND or left floating. This
allows for a total of 21 distinct device addresses. When
communicating with the SMM150 over the 2-wire bus these pins
provide a mechanism for assigning a unique bus address.
Programmable Write Protect active high/low input. When asserted,
writes to the configuration registers and general purpose EE are not
allowed. The WP input is internally tied to VDD with a 50KΩ resistor.
External capacitor input used to filter the VM input, 0.02μF.
Output voltage used to control and/or margin converter voltages.
Connect to the converter trim input.
Voltage monitor input. Connect to the DC-DC converter positive sense
line or its’ +Vout pin.
Power supply of the part.
External capacitor input used to filter the internal VDD supply rail.
Ground of the part. The SMM150 ground pin should be connected to
the ground of the device under control or to a star point ground. PCB
layout should take into consideration ground drops.
Margin up command input. Asserted high. The MUP input is internally
tied to VDD with a 50KΩ resistor.
Margin down command input. Asserted high. The MDN input is
internally tied to VDD with a 50KΩ resistor.
COMP1 and COMP2 are high impedance inputs, each connected
internally to a comparator and compared against the internally
programmable VREF voltage. Each comparator can be independently
programmed to monitor for UV or OV. The monitor level is set
externally with a resistive voltage divider.
When either of the COMP1 or COMP2 inputs are in fault the open-
drain FAULT# output will be pulled low. A configuration option exists
to disable the FAULT# output while the device is margining.
Programmable active high/low open drain output indicates that VM is
at its set point. When programmed as an active high output, READY
can also be used as an input. When pulled low, it will latch the state of
the comparator inputs.
No Connect. The bottom side metal plate (Pad 29) can be connected
to GND or left floating.
