FEATURES
4 on-board variables supplies with LEDs to show status
LEDs to show power good, fault, and sequence done (main
evaluation kits only)
Switchable capacitors to set time delays (main evaluation
kits only)
Manual fault push switch
Single step mode
Multiple boards can be cascaded for more than four supplies
(EVAL-ADM1186-1EBZ only)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ADM1186-1 and ADM1186-2 can be used to turn on and
off four supplies in sequence under the control of a state machine,
and can monitor the supplies to ensure that they are above a
user defined undervoltage (UV) threshold. If any supply drops
below the UV threshold, a fault occurs and the state machine
turns all the supplies off.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
There are two types of evaluation kits for the ADM1186-1
and ADM1186-2. The main evaluation boards are intended for
standalone operation of the devices with just an external mains
power supply. They provide all the on-board supplies, controls,
and status indicators necessary to operate the device. The
micro-evaluation boards are intended to allow the ADM118-1
or ADM1186-2 to be easily used as part of a bench prototype,
and include the minimal set of components.
The evaluation kits for each device allow a user to perform
controlled up and down sequences of four supplies. The
main evaluation kits allow simulated fault conditions on
each on-board supply or on a control signal. All kits provide
the ability to single-step and observe the behavior of the state
machine during the power-up and power-down sequence.
A single ADM1186-1 can control four supplies, but it is possible
to join multiple devices and boards together to support cascaded
up and down sequences of eight, 12, or more supplies. The main
ADM1186-1 evaluation board supports a daisy-chain
connection to demonstrate this feature.
EVALUATION KIT CONTENTS
The EVAL-ADM1186-1EBZ and EVAL-ADM1186-2EBZ
evaluation kits contain an evaluation board, along with some
samples of the ADM1186-1 or the ADM1186-2 parts.
The EVAL-ADM1186-1MBZ and EVAL-ADM1186-2MBZ
micro-evaluation kits contain only an evaluation board.
For all types of evaluation kit, an ADM1186-1 or ADM1186-2
device is present and soldered to the board.
