General Description:
The Voltage Sequencer User Module is a flexible and easy way to implement voltage sequencing function using a PSoC 1 device. Voltage sequencing is required to ensure reliable power up and power down of power rails in a system and flag a fault condition in case of a failure. The User Module Wizard allows you to control ramp timing as well as time delays between power rails. Voltage sequencing is popularly used in computing (servers, storage arrays) as well as communication (basestation, routers, VOIP equipments) systems in addition to general industrial and consumer systems.
The User Module enables PSoC 1 to read PGOOD (power good) signals from power regulators and generate EN (enable) signals for power regulators based on user-defined ramp timing. If PSoC 1 does not receive the PGOOD signal in the user-defined 'RAMP' time, then it asserts a power-up failure interrupt and continues with the user-defined power-down sequence, if the auto power-down mode is enabled. This User Module uses an on-chip 16-bit timer (implemented using programmable digital blocks) to generate user-defined time delays.
