X5168S8Z-2.7

The X5168S8Z-2.7 is a three-pin, low voltage supervisor for embedded systems. It is classified as PMIC - supervisors and is intended to prevent catastrophic events such as system freezes or outages due to brownout conditions and faults in the power supply system. The X5168S8Z-2.7 is designed to monitor power supplies over a wide range of conditions and to switch off power if an unsafe condition arises.

The X5168S8Z-2.7 works by comparing an internally-generated voltage reference to the external supply. When this comparison shows that the external supply is below the reference voltage, an output flag is set and the power can be cut off until the conditions have been rectified. The X5168S8Z-2.7 can operate from 1.62V to 3.6V and can be used for low-voltage systems, such as microcontrollers, FPGAs, and DC-DC converters.

The X5168S8Z-2.7 is also designed to protect against over-conditioning. This can be due to input surge, over-voltage, or over-current and can cause damage to sensitive electronics. The X5168S8Z-2.7 can detect all of these conditions and will initiate system shutdown to protect the PCB if any of these events are detected. The protection is provided by a number of configurable parameters, such as trip point, hysteresis, and delay time. These settings can be adjusted to provide the best possible protection for a given application.

The X5168S8Z-2.7 also provides output flexibility. The part has three outputs; one open-drain high speed output, one open-drain high current output (LR), and one open-drain low-current output (HR). The LR and HR outputs can each be used for a variety of purposes, such as controlling a reset signal for one or more devices, providing a power-off signal to a microcontroller, or initiating a system reset. The X5168S8Z-2.7 can also be used to monitor two power rails, ensuring that they match within a certain range.

The X5168S8Z-2.7 is an ideal solution for systems requiring power-supply monitoring and protection. It provides a wide range of protection and output options, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It is a cost-effective solution, with low power consumption and minimal external components. It is also a reliable solution that is designed to meet AEC-Q100 automotive standards.
