AD5100
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, V1MON (Monitoring Input 1)
can be connected to the battery and the V2MON can be connected
to the ignition switch, a rising edge trigger wake-up signal, or
the media-oriented systems transport (MOST) wake-up signal
(V4MON is connected to V2MON for MOST applications). Two
other inputs, V3MON and V4MON, 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 Outputs section.
The WDI (watchdog) and MR (manual reset) inputs also
control the RESET output, for use with an external digital
processor. Figure 5 shows the general flow chart and Table 10
summarizes the AD5100 functions and features.
