MAX16940AUI/V+T

The MAX16940AUI/V+T is part of a wide range of power management integrated circuits (PMICs) focused on providing power management solutions for specific applications such as embedded systems and battery powered devices. This particular product is part of the specialized family and is a PMIC for providing power supply sequencing.

Power supply sequencing is the process of sequentially activating power supplies for reliable operation of complex electronic systems. It is critical for those systems that have more than one power supply and that require each to be properly powered up, one at a time, in order to ensure full system operation. The MAX16940AUI/V+T provides fast and accurate sequencing of up to six separate power supplies.

The IC is a highly integrated solution, meaning it takes up minimal board space. It allows for a variety of power supply types to be used, such as point of load and buck regulators. With its integrated diagnostic features, it monitors supply voltages and can take action if needed.

The MAX16940AUI/V+T is suitable for a variety of applications and can be used in industrial, medical, networking and consumer applications. It is designed to handle power up and power down sequencing of several high power supply voltages. It is capable of sequencing up to six different voltage supplies individually, in any order required.

The MAX16940AUI/V+T includes an internal 24V linear regulator, four N-channel MOSFETs, synchronous rectifiers, and current sensing components to enable fast and accurate monitoring and sequencing of the power supplies. It includes an analog multiplexor that allows for the current level to be monitored for each power supply.

The IC uses a dedicated control interface for programming the power sequencing orders and timing. It can also be programmed to enable or disable the power supplies, as well as monitor their status. The IC also includes two programmable delay timers which are used to set the power up and power down timing.
