X5168S8

The X5168S8 is a robust supervisor solution that provides high accuracy and reliability. Its versatile and powerful functions make it applicable to a wide range of application areas. It offers a variety of functional enhancements and has a number of notable benefits such as low-power consumption, flexible configuration, and low-voltage operation.

One of the main application fields of X5168S8 is board-level fault protection, which is categorized as a branch of PMIC – supervisors. This fault protection helps to ensure that circuits and systems are working properly and prevents them from running into critical failures. The X5168S8 acts as a supervisor by monitoring supply rails and interrupts the system when an unsafe condition is detected, ensuring the safety of the system in the long run.

Another area where the X5168S8 is applied is power management. The supervisor monitors an external supply rail or a system voltage and provides a pulse or reset signal to activate or deactivate certain components as needed. This is especially useful for systems that require different levels of supply or system voltages. The X5168S8 is able to detect a wide range of situations where the system may not be functioning properly and can rapidly react to it by providing the necessary reset or pulse signals. Additionally, the supervisor can be configured to operate in low-power mode.

The working principle of the X5168S8 is simple. It consists of two voltage comparators that measure the voltage difference between a reference voltage and a target voltage. When the target voltage is lower than the reference voltage, a reset signal is triggered which affects the whole system, ensuring safety. The supervisor can be configured in a variety of ways to meet specific customer requirements.

The X5168S8 also contains an integrated watchdog timer and windowed watchdogs, meaning it can be set to reset the system in certain scenarios, such as overloading or undervoltage conditions to avoid potential damages. Additionally, the voltage comparators have a wide range of accuracy and temperature coefficients for precise voltage monitoring, making them highly reliable for fault protection.

Overall, the X5168S8 is an effective solution for applications in PMIC – supervisors. It offers robust performance, precise detection of system voltages, and plenty of configurable options. It is well-suited for board-level fault protection as well as a variety of power management solutions, making it a great choice for many customer requirements.
