LTC2924
Quad Power Supply
Sequencer
DescripTion
The LTC
®
2924 is a power supply sequencer designed for
use with external N-channel MOSFETs or power supplies
with shutdown pins. Four power supplies can be fully
sequenced by a single LTC2924 and up to five supplies
can be sequenced to a sixth master supply. The LTC2924
requires a minimum of external components, using only
two feedback resistors per sequenced power supply and
a single resistor to set hysteresis.
An internally regulated charge pump provides gate drive
voltages for external logic and sub-logic-level MOSFETs.
Adding a single capacitor enables an adjustable time delay
between power supplies during both Power On and Power
Off sequencing. A second capacitor can be added to enable
a power good timer for detecting the failure of any power
supply to turn on within the selected time. Errors in power
supply sequencing and the control input are detected and
reported at the
FAULT
output. The LTC2924 features pre-
cision input comparators which can provide 1% accuracy
in monitoring power supply voltages.
Multiple LTC2924s may be easily cascaded to sequence a
virtually unlimited number of power supplies.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Hysteresis current must be 500nA minimum. Hysteresis current
may exceed 50µA, but accuracy is not guaranteed.
Note 3:
HYS/CFG pin must be pulled to GND or V
CC
with an external
resistor. See Applications Information for details.
Note 4:
Determined by design, not production tested. External circuits
pulling down on the
FAULT
pin must maintain the signal below V
FAULT(LO)
for ≥1µs.
Note 5:
Internal circuits may drive the OUTn pins higher than the Absolute
Maximum Ratings.
Note 6:
R
IN
is the parallel combination of the two resistors forming the
resistive divider connected to the ON and IN1-IN4 pins.
