PMIC - Supervisors

MCP121T-270E/TT is one example of a multi-channel power-management IC (PMIC) that includes supervisor functions. It is an ideal choice for applications such as LED display power management and battery management, as well as process control in commercial and industrial systems.

Application Field

MCP121T-270E/TT increases system reliability and accuracy by offering alarms, precision voltage and current protections, and reset/power on-off signal delays. It is suitable for a wide range of applications such as consumer and industrial products, automotive and consumer electronics, medical and communications applications. This IC supports up to 8 V-outputs, including one VCC Auxiliary, three VDDs and four VDDCs, each with independent under and overvoltage protection, reset functions and latency configurations. It also provides configurable power-on reset and power-off delay and assertion. As a result, the device can automate power source sequencing and active reset signals to safeguard system integrity, even in hostile and time-sensitive environments.

MCP121T-270E/TT can be used in applications such as LED displays, where the supervisor and power supply must be highly integrated yet support multiple power rails and provide maximum design-space flexibility. It is also particularly suitable for systems with multiple voltage sources, such as notebook computers, where tight power management is critical to ensure long battery life and provide a clean and consistent system power.

The IC supports two independent operating modes -- Active and Sleep. Active mode can be used for protection and adjustments in the system, such as setting thresholds for voltage or current protection. Meanwhile, Sleep mode allows for lower power consumption, with all power domain parameters excluding data from the system. By setting the desired operating mode, the device can automatically adjust itself to the most appropriate configuration.

Working Principle

MCP121T-270E/TT is an 8-channel device with an integrated voltage supervisor, providing adjustable over/under voltage protection and reset assertion/de-assertion time-out control. It is capable of detecting supply voltages across the power rail and provide the appropriate amount of delay. Therefore, when the supply voltage fluctuates over/under limits, MCP121T-270E/TT will run a power-on/off delay or assertion/de-assertion sequence to protect the system.

MCP121T-270E/TT also supports advanced features such as temperature-sensing and remote control. The thermal control has two operating modes: independent and combined. In independent mode, a dedicated analog sensor helps monitor the device temperature, while in combined mode, the voltage supervisor pin can be used to monitor the temperature of the other power rails. Both of these modes enable the IC to properly handle different temperatures and change its behavior accordingly.

The remote control feature enables the IC to power up/down and reset without having to physically interact with the device. This allows for a more convenient and efficient user experience, since the user can be notified of system errors remotely. Moreover, by providing a control signals, the customer can choose to have the system automatically power off when the operating temperature reaches a certain threshold. Thus, preventing system malfunctions before they occur.

In addition, the supervisor has advanced safety features such as Increased Accuracy Leakage Detection (AIAD). It is designed to detect and report leakage current exceeding certain thresholds to protect system components from potential damage due to static electricity, over-voltage, and over-current loading.

Conclusion

MCP121T-270E/TT is an example of multi-channel power-management IC (PMIC) that includes supervisor functions. It is suitable for a range of applications from consumer and industrial, to automotive, medical and communication. The IC offers adjustable and precision voltage, current and temperature protection, reset/power sequence delays, and AIAD for improved system reliability and redundancy. With all these features combined, MCP121T-270E/TT is an excellent choice for various applications.
