GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX16046/MAX16048 EEPROM-configurable system managers monitor, sequence, track, and margin multiple system voltages. Nonvolatile EEPROM registers are configurable for storing upper and lower voltage limits, setting timing and sequencing requirements, and for storing critical fault data for readback following failures. An internal 1% accurate 10-bit ADC measures each input and compares the result to one upper, one lower, and one selectable upper or lower limit. A fault signal asserts when a monitored voltage falls outside the set limits. Up to three independent fault output signals are configurable to assert under various fault conditions. The integrated sequencer/tracker allows precise control over the power-up and power-down order of up to twelve (MAX16046) or up to eight (MAX16048) power supplies. Four channels (EN_OUT1–EN_OUT4) support closedloop tracking using external series MOSFETs. Six outputs (EN_OUT1–EN_OUT6) are configurable with chargepump outputs to directly drive MOSFETs without closedloop tracking.
