SC453
POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information (Cont.)
PG# Output
This is an open-drain output and should be pulled up ex-
ternally. This signal is asserted (pulled low) by the SC453
whenever the core voltage is within ±14% of the VID
programmed value. If the chip is disabled or enabled in
UVLO, then PG# is de-asserted. During start-up PG# re-
mains de-asserted until the core voltage has reached the
defined boot voltage and remains there for the BOOT pe-
riod (10μS minimum). This signal is forced low (asserted)
during VID and sleep transitions.
PG_DEL Output
This signal is delayed a minimum of 3mS from first as-
sertion of the PG# signal. This is an open drain output
and should be pulled up externally. This signal is asserted
(open drain) by the SC453 whenever the core is within
±14% of the VID programmed value. If the chip is disabled
or enabled in UVLO, then PG_DEL is de-asserted. The sig-
nal is forced high (open drain) during VID and sleep transi-
tions.
Start-Up and Sequencing
On start-up, VCORE ramps to the boot voltage set by the
BOOTV pin irrespective of the status of the VID pins. After
a minimum of 10μs, PG# asserts, and VCORE responds to
the VID inputs. The controller will then count 1007 switch-
ing cycles before asserting PG_DEL.
