PMIC - Supervisors: X5169S8ZT1 Application Field and Working Principle

Power management integrated circuit (PMIC) is an integrated circuit device that combines multiple regulator models into one package. It can provide multi-channel power supply, application support, power switch, and power distribution. PMICs often include voltage regulators, DC/DC converters and Hot-swap controllers. PMIC-Supervisors, as part of the PMIC devices, have their own application field and working principle.

Application Field

X5169S8ZT1 PMIC-Supervisors can be used in a wide range of applications, such as:

• Processors, FPGA and MCU applications
• Network applications, such as routers and switches
• Storage systems
• Datacenter applications
• Industrial, automotive and medical applications

As a power supervisor for integrated circuits, X5169S8ZT1 not only can monitor and protect power supplies, but also can extend system longevity and ensure system stability.

Working Principle

The X5169S8ZT1’s main function is to protect the power supply from over-current, over-temperature and other abnormal conditions. When it is exposed to abnormal conditions, the supervisor will detect the abnormal conditions such as overvoltage and overtime, then it will switch off the power supplies and protect the system.

Usually, X5169S8ZT1 has five voltage monitors that can monitor up to four +3.3V, +2.5V, +1.8V and +1.2V power supplies. With four MAXIM-stacked power supply monitoring circuits, the supervisor can detect and protect power supplies against abnormal situations.

The supervisor also can detect and protect the power supplies against excessive current and thermal conditions. It can shut down the power supplies when the system detects excessive current or temperature conditions. By doing so, X5169S8ZT1 can increase system stability and safety.

Conclusion

To conclude, X5169S8ZT1 PMIC-Supervisor is an integrated circuit device that excels in processing multiple regulator models together. Its application fields are extensive, ranging from processor, FPGA and MCU applications, to network, storage and medical applications. Moreover, its main function is to detect and protect against over-current, over-temperature, overvoltage and overtime. Overall, X5169S8ZT1 provides a great solution for system longevity and stability of power supplies.
