X5168PZ-2.7

The X5168PZ-2.7 is a PMIC - Supervisors, specifically a Power Management and Protection Supervisors IC. It provides a comprehensive range of protection and supervision functions required by systems that use multiple Voltage regulator modules (VRMs).

The X5168PZ-2.7 has two primary functions. The first is to monitor system power supply voltages and send an alert or disable devices if any of the system’s power supplies is out of tolerance. The second is to control system power distribution by switching the power supply on or off when the states specified in the system’s configuration registers are met.

The X5168PZ-2.7 is designed to protect the system from failures of individual VRMs and their associated circuits, by providing automatic shutdown of the respective VRMs when certain under/overvoltage conditions are detected. It will also generate a(n) alert or interrupt to the host processor when faults occur, to enable the processor to take corrective action.

The X5168PZ-2.7 has several features to support system power supply design. It can detect overcurrent or overheating conditions on both its own and other VRMs in an interconnected system. It supports an auto-reset function, providing delayed reset of VRMs when self-detection or system faults occur. It also has two voltage sense inputs and two voltage rail outputs to support system power supply sequencing, allowing for the smooth transition of power from one voltage rail to another.

The X5168PZ-2.7 can also be used to control and monitor the power-on sequence of the system. The X5168PZ-2.7 supports an optional undervoltage lockout feature, so that the main power supply to the system can be held off until a certain minimum input voltage is established. It also allows users to enable or disable the power supply sequenced output (PSO) pin, which will enable or disable the appropriate voltage regulators in a system.The X5168PZ-2.7 also has several other features, including support for an external supervisor, watchdog timer, and temperature monitoring, making it an ideal power management and protection solution for applications requiring multiple VRMs.

In a nutshell, the X5168PZ-2.7 provides comprehensive power management and protection supervision for systems that use multiple Voltage Regulator Modules. Its on-chip protection functions help prevent system shutdown due to abnormal voltages, overcurrent, and overheating. Its integrated supervisor and system power supply control functions enable smooth and dependable power supply sequencing. All of these features make the X5168PZ-2.7 an excellent choice for any application requiring reliable and efficient power supply control and protection.
