The ADM12914 is a quad voltage supervisory IC ideally suited for monitoring multiple rails in a wide range of applications. Each monitored rail has two dedicated input pins, VHx and VLx, which allows each rail to be monitored for both undervoltage (UV) and overvoltage (OV) conditions with high threshold accuracy of ±0.8%. Common active lowundervoltage(UV)and overvoltage(OV)pins are shared by each of the monitored voltage rails.The ADM12914 includes a 1 V buffered reference output, REF, that acts as an offset when monitoring a negative voltage. The three-state SEL pin determines the polarity of the third and fourth inputs, that is, it configures the device to monitor positive or negative supplies.The device incorporates an internal shunt regulator that enables the device to be used in higher voltage systems. This feature requires a resistor to be placed between the main supply rail and the VCCpin to limit the current flow into the VCCpin at a level no greater than 10 mA. The ADM12914 uses the internal shunt regulator to regulate VCCif the supply line exceeds the absolute maximum ratings.The ADM12914 is available in two models. The ADM12914-1 offers a latching overvoltage output that can be cleared by toggling theLATCHinput pin. The ADM12914-2 has a disable pin that can override and disable both theUVand theOVoutput signals.The ADM12914 is available in a 16-lead QSOP package. The device is specified over the extended temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.ApplicationsServer supply monitoringFPGA/DSP core and I/O voltage monitoringTelecommunications equipmentMedical equipment
