ADM1066ASUZ

PMIC - Supervisors refer to a class of integrated circuits (ICs) that are used to monitor, control and protect a microprocessor (MPU) system in an electronic device. The ADM1066ASUZ belongs to this category and is designed to provide power to and control the MPU system in a variety of electronic applications.

The ADM1066ASUZ contains an internal power supply and a variety of on-board components including a voltage supervisor, a watchdog timer, an Disable Pin output and an enable pin input. It is designed to simplify board design and reduce PCB footprint in an MPU system, while providing reliable power delivery and system protection. It can be powered by various sources, from a single battery cell, or from external AC or DC power sources.

The primary function of the ADM1066ASUZ is to monitor the system power and detect faults, such as an out-of-range voltage or a short circuit. If a fault is detected, the IC will notify the system via the Disable Pin output, which can then take appropriate action, such as shutting down the system to prevent further damage. The integral voltage supervisor and watchdog timer provide additional system protection from over-voltage and over-current conditions and helps ensure system reliability.

The ADM1066ASUZ features an enable pin input, allowing it to be optimized to the voltage range of the system by setting the appropriate impedance of the enable pin input. This allows the IC to be more efficient in detecting and responding to a wide range of system voltages. Additionally, it can be configured to detect and respond to specific system conditions, such as a temperature increase or a voltage drop.

The ADM1066ASUZ is most commonly used in small-scale applications such as wireless sensors, small portable computing devices and microcontrollers, as well as in larger-scale embedded systems, such as medical and industrial equipment, and vehicle controllers.

In conclusion, the ADM1066ASUZ belongs to the PMIC - Supervisors class of ICs and is designed to provide reliable power delivery, system protection and system control in a variety of electronic devices. It can be configured to detect and respond to particular system conditions, such as a temperature increase or a voltage drop. It is well-suited for use in small-scale portable applications, as well as large-scale embedded systems.
