Description
This on board power system controller provides a cost effective high performance solution for controlling,
monitoring, and sequencing multiple Point of Load (PoL) converters on a system board. The sequencer uses a
digital signal processor (DSP) engine and Bels firmware to implement a portfolio of board level control features
typically required in a multiple voltage configuration. There are three variations of this device with slightly
different pin assignments and functionality. The variation in use is controlled by the firmware based on the
specific board configuration. The core features are the same among the three variations.

The voltage on 5V tolerant digital input pins can exceed VDD as indicated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. 5V tolerant digital output pins can
be configured with the open-drain feature which allows the generation of outputs higher than VDD by using external pull-up resistors. The maximum
open-drain voltage allowed is the same as the maximum VIH specification defined in the Electrical Specifications.

Signal Definitions
Signal Type Definition
Alert/Warning Digital Output If this pin is configured for the Alert function, then this output
is asserted when an I2C error occurs.
If this pin is configured for the Warning function, then this
output is asserted when any of the monitored output
voltages are less than their configured warning lower limit or
greater than their configured warning upper limit.
Alternate Voltage Set point Digital Input When asserted the alternate voltage limits will be used for
Control (Voltage Selection) converters configured for dual set points. Any analog POL
converters configured for dual set points will be trimmed to
the alternate set point.
When de-asserted the normal voltage set points and limits
will be used.
Analog Board ID Analog Input See Board ID below.
Analog x Monitor Analog Input Analog x monitor (must be scaled using attenuating
resistors if voltage exceeds reference voltage).
Analog y Monitor Analog Input Analog y monitor (must be scaled using attenuating
resistors if voltage exceeds reference voltage).
Analog z Monitor Analog Input Analog z monitor (must be scaled using attenuating
resistors if voltage exceeds reference voltage).
APoL Enable Digital Output Enable signal for the eight analog PoL converters. Asserted
during sequence up and de-asserted during sequence
down.
APoL Trim PWM Output PWM output for actively trimming the analog PoLs to their
desired set points. See Using the PWM Trim Outputs
below.

The trim PWMs for APoLs 1-8 are hardware based. The
PWM output duty cycle will remain fixed even when the
controller is performing long operations (such as flash
memory erases and writes).

The PWM outputs for APoLs 9-11 in Variation 2 are


implemented using timers. The PWM output is suspended
during long operations (such as flash memory erases and
writes). During these intervals the output is tri-stated, so the
trim circuit should have a pull-up to set the trim voltage to as
close to the desired voltage as possible to reduce glitches
on the PoL output.
APoL Vout Monitor Analog Input Analog PoL output voltage monitor (must be scaled using
attenuating resistors if voltage exceeds reference voltage).
AVDD Power Positive supply (filtered VDD) for analog modules. See
Powering the Sequencer below.
AVSS Power Analog ground reference. See Powering the Sequencer
below.
Board ID (0-2) Digital Input These three digital inputs along with the Analog Board ID
define a board identification number for controlling which
board specific configuration data is loaded.
DPoL Enable Digital Output Enable signal for the digital PoL or VRM converters. Note
that some of the enables are shared. Asserted during
sequence up and de-asserted during sequence down.
If the corresponding analog input is configured as a

comparator then this enable signal is used as the
comparator output instead of enabling/disabling the
converter during sequence up/down.
DPoL Monitor Analog Input Digital PoL, VRM, or other voltage monitor (must be scaled
using attenuating resistors if voltage exceeds reference
voltage).
Enable/Board Seated Digital Input When asserted the board is sequenced up if the input
voltage is valid. When de-asserted the board is sequenced
down. This function can be overridden as defined in the
separate interface document,
TRKA_10D815R_PROTOCOL.
Fault Output Digital Output Asserted when a fault is detected. Latches until fault is
cleared with I2C command, enable is toggled, or input
power is cycled.
I2C Clock I2C Synchronous serial clock input/output for I2C
communication. Since this is a slave device, the master
drives the clock. Clock stretching may occur if necessary
according to the I2C specification.
I2C Data I2C Synchronous serial bi-directional data line for I2C
communication.
Low Power Mode Digital Input When this input is asserted, the enable signals are de-
asserted for the outputs that are not part of the configurable
low-power mode mask and those outputs are no longer
monitored. When this signal becomes asserted, the board
is power cycled.
Manufacturing Mode (Margin Digital Input Enable signal for the hardware margin signals. When
Enable) asserted the margin high/low inputs will cause the analog
PoLs to be margined to their configured high/low margin
values.
Margin High Digital Input See Manufacturing mode above.
Margin Low Digital Input See Manufacturing mode above.
MCLR* Programming Master Clear (Reset) input. This pin is an active-low Reset
to the device.
Mux Select Digital Output Control line to external thermal trip and VR Hot multiplexers
for selecting and checking each of the thermal trip and VR
Hot signals.
PCH Reset Digital Input When this signal is asserted, the following sequence
occurs:
1. change power good output signal to high
impedance,
2. assert Reset A output,
3. power down the board (i.e., de-assert power good
and de-sequence enables),
4. assert Warning output,
5. change power good output back to a driven signal
6. delay for 500ms
7. de-assert Warning output
8. delay for 500ms
9. de-assert Reset A output
PGC Programming Clock input pin for programming communication.
PGD Programming Data I/O pin for programming communication.
Power Good Digital Output Asserted after the configured power good delay after all of

the outputs have been sequenced up and are operating
within their configured power good limits. De-asserted prior
to sequencing down due to a fault or commanded to do so.
Reset In Digital Input When asserted, causes Reset A-C to assert.
Reset Out (A-C) Digital Output Asserted when Reset In is asserted. De-asserted when any
outputs in configured reset masks are outside of power
good limits.
Thermal Trip Digital Input Output of external thermal trip multiplexer. When asserted,
the configured thermal trip action occurs if the thermal trip
input for the particular multiplexer setting has been enabled.
VCAP/VDDCORE Power Core decoupling capacitor. See Powering the Sequencer
below.
VDD Power Positive supply (3.3V) for peripheral logic and I/O pins. See

VDD Interface
Figure 2 is a schematic of the typical VDD interface to the sequencer IC. A Microchip LDO, P/N MCP1702T-
3302I/MB, is used to produce the 3.3V VDD supply to the DSP. This device is in a SOT89 package and in most
applications will be sufficient in size to handle the power dissipation when powering the circuit from a 12V
source. Capacitors C4, C5, C6, and C7 are the decoupling capacitors for the DSP and they should be located
directly across each pair of VDD and VSS pins on the DSP IC. The device has a VDD core pin which is used to
decouple the internally generated core voltage. Capacitor C8 is the decoupling capacitor for the VDD core.
This decoupling capacitor should be a low ESR ceramic capacitor and can be as large as 10uF. Capacitor C3 is
the decoupling capacitor for the analog VDD (AVDD) and it should be located directly across the AVDD and AVSS
pins on the DSP IC. Resistor R2 in combination with C3 provides a filter for the analog VDD. Resistor R3 is
intended to separate AVSS from VSS. Capacitor C2 is the input decoupling capacitor for the LDO and it should
be connected directly across the LDOs input and ground pins. Capacitor C1 is used as a hold up capacitor. Its
purpose is to hold up the supply voltage to the LDO and maintain a stable VDD for the DSP for a short period
after the +12Vin source is removed. This would be desired if a short communication stream is required during
power down or if storing system data to EE memory is required during power down. The Schottky diode D1
prevents C1 from being discharged after +12Vin is removed. Resistor R1 is used to protect D1 during the inrush
event associated with the application of the +12Vin. The single pulse peak current rating for a typical BAT54
diode is approximately 600mA. If the rise time of the +12V source is slow enough to limit the peak charging
current into C1 it is possible to eliminate R1. Assuming a 40mA current draw by the DSP C1 will provide
approximately 188 us of hold up time per uF of capacitance.

amplifier. The error amplifier (E/A) compares a scaled version of the output voltage to a reference. The output
voltage of the converter module is simply the reciprocal of the scaling factor multiplied by the reference value.
The output voltage can be adjusted by changing this scaling factor (Figure 3A) or by modifying the reference
(Figures 3B, C).

The most common trim method is shown in figure 3A. The popularity of this method stems from the fact that
most highly integrated PWM control ICs have an internal reference that is not accessible and cannot be
controlled externally. In this scheme the output is scaled by adding a resistor from the trim pin to ground. This
modifies the feedback divider and moves the output voltage to a higher value. The output can also be modified
by superimposing an offset voltage on the feedback divider by connecting a voltage source to the trim pin
through a resistor. Either of these two approaches will move the output voltage to a new value. The common
characteristic of modules with this trim scheme is that a lower value trim resistor to ground will cause a higher
output voltage or a larger voltage superimposed on the trim pin will cause Vout to decrease.

Some PoL converters incorporate the trim scheme shown in figure 3B. With this method the feedback ratio is
kept constant and the reference value is modified to move the output voltage. The common characteristic of
modules with this trim scheme is that a lower value trim resistor to ground will cause a lower output voltage and
a larger voltage superimposed on the trim pin will cause Vout to increase.

The method shown in figure 3C is occasionally used. This is similar to the method in figure 3B except the
modification of the reference is mapped through a device such as a microcontroller. This is the least common of
the 3 methods and requires the vendors data sheet to determine the trim characteristic because the micro
controller can map the reference in many different ways.

The power sequencer has the ability to do independent closed loop trim and closed loop margining of the output
voltage for each PoL controlled by the device. Each PoLs output voltage is monitored and by an analog to
digital converter (ADC) in a continuous loop. In firmware the most recent measured output voltage is compared
against the desired value and the PoLs output is adjusted by delivering a trim value to the corresponding PoLs
trim pin. This trim voltage is created from a digital PWM output and an external low pass filter. Each digital
PWM is labeled <PoL n Margin PWM> where n indicates a specific converter which corresponds to the
monitoring channel labeled with the same n value. The external low pass filter creates a DC value from the
PWM signal which is then delivered to each PoL converter through a range limiting resistor.

Figure 4 shows the typical circuits used to interface the sequencers Margin PWM signals to PoL converters. In
each of the circuits shown Ra and Ca construct a low pass filter while Rb is used to limit the trim range. The
effective trim voltage is equal to the Margin PWM duty cycle multiplied by VDD and is controllable in 1024 steps
from 0 to VDD. The effective trim resistor value is equal to Ra + Rb. Ra and Ca are chosen to reduce the trim
voltage ripple. Typical values for Ra and Ca are 1K for Ra and 0.22uF to 1uF for Ca. Rb is used to limit the
control range and should be selected based on the desired control range and the trim equation for the PoL.

This trim equation is usually available from the PoL manufactures data sheet. The sequencer learns the trim
direction by making a minor adjustment to the Margin PWM and then determining the direction that Vout moves
based on this stimulus. Once the trim direction is known it knows whether increment or decrement the TRIM
PWM value until the desired Vout is achieved. The accuracy of the active trim is a function of the ADC accuracy
which is mostly controlled by accuracy of the applied reference to the sequencers Vref pins.

Either circuit in Figure 4 will work with any of the trim methods shown in Figure 3. When interfacing to PoL
modules that use the trim method in Figure 3A the circuit in Figure 4B is the optimum interface configuration. By
connecting the filter capacitor Ca to the PoLs Vout or to a positive voltage reference the effective of filtering the
Margin PWM signal remains intact. With this method there will not be a discharged capacitor connected to
ground that could cause the PoLs output to overshoot during power up as this capacitor becomes charged. In
the case that the circuit in figure 4A is used with the trim configuration in Figure 3B the sequencer will pre-
charge the capacitor before enabling the PoL converter and then decrement the Margin PWM to achieve the
desired Vout. This requires additional start up time during system initialization. When interfacing to PoL
converters of the type shown in Figure 3B the interface circuit in figure 4A is optimum.

Monitoring Via ADC Channels


The imbedded ADC channels are converted as 10 or 12 bit results with full scale equal to a chosen reference.
The device is intended to be powered from a 3V3 source and can be configured to use this source as the ADC
reference or to use an externally provided reference. Closed loop margining and set point adjustments always
use the entire 10 or 12 bit result to trim the output voltages to specified values. Monitored voltages are reported
via I2C communication using PMBus data formats as defined in the separate communication manual. The
voltage range reported is determined by the entered set points. Any monitored output that is greater than the
ADC reference or that can be margined above this reference should have a voltage divider to limit the maximum
input to the corresponding ADC channel to a value equal or less than the ADC reference. Monitored voltages
below the chosen ADC reference do not require this voltage divider. A four sample moving average is used to
filter the ADC results. In most cases this will eliminate the need for external filtering.

The input voltage (Vin) monitoring channel requires a voltage divider so that Vin maximum is scaled to a value
less than the maximum value of the ADC reference.

Connecting the Control and Monitor Signals


The three primary control interface signals to the attached PoL converters are an enable signal, a voltage
monitoring signal, and trim control signal. The enable signals are labeled <APoL x Enable>. The Monitoring
signals are labeled <APoL x Monitor>. The trim signals are labeled <APoL x Trim>. Each APoL converter is
required to share the corresponding enable, monitor, and trim signals. The installed firmware assumes that the
connections are made this way when controlling system.
