Product details
Overview
ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a quad-channel voltage up/down sequencer and monitor with programmable timing, designed for precise power supply sequencing in multi-rail systems. It features four 0.8% accurate comparators, capacitor-programmable sequence delays (±5% accuracy at 25°C), open-drain enable outputs (OUT1–OUT4), and bidirectional FAULT/SEQ_DONE signaling. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and supports cascaded sequencing in telecom and server power management.
For engineers reviewing the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL datasheet, ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL pinout, ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL application, or ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL equivalent, this device delivers deterministic up/down sequencing control, real-time fault propagation across multiple units, and resistor-divider-configurable undervoltage thresholds for 1.2 V–5 V rails - critical for high-reliability embedded and datacom power architectures.
Technical Context
The ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL implements a finite-state machine that executes controlled power-up (enable OUT1→OUT4 in order) and power-down (disable OUT4→OUT1 in reverse) sequences, each governed by user-defined capacitor-set delays on DLY_EN_OUT1–DLY_EN_OUT4 and BLANK_DLY pins. It uses a shared 0.6 V internal reference with ±0.8% comparator accuracy over −40°C to +85°C.
Its bidirectional FAULT pin enables inter-device fault coordination: an internal UV fault pulls FAULT low, forcing connected ADM1186-1 units into fault-handling mode; externally pulling FAULT low also triggers local fault response. SEQ_DONE provides unambiguous sequence completion status, supporting hierarchical sequencing topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - powers internal logic and comparators; ensures operation across standard logic supply rails. |
| VINx Accuracy | ±0.8% worst-case - enables precise undervoltage detection (e.g., 2.375 V rail monitored via 7.4 kΩ/2.5 kΩ divider yields 0.6 V threshold). |
| Time Delay Accuracy | ±5% at 25°C - guarantees predictable sequencing intervals (e.g., 10 ms to 2 s) using external capacitors from 10 nF to 2.2 µF. |
| Response Time (VINx → FAULT) | 6.1 µs to 9.2 µs - ensures rapid fault capture during supply collapse, minimizing downstream damage risk. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-high OUT1–OUT4 & PWRGD; open-drain SEQ_DONE; bidirectional open-drain FAULT - allows wired-OR logic, level translation, and fault chaining without external components. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.46 V - prevents erratic behavior during brown-out; outputs remain low until VCC exceeds this level. |
| Supply Current | 146 µA typical - ultra-low quiescent draw enables use in always-on sequencing controllers without significant power penalty. |
Pinout & Package
The ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL is housed in a 20-lead QSOP package (3.9 mm × 8.7 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance (θJA = 125.8°C/W).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1–VIN4 | Noninverting comparator inputs | Monitor four independent voltage rails via external resistor dividers; all referenced to 0.6 V internal reference. |
| UP / DOWN | Sequencing control inputs | Rising edge on UP initiates power-up; falling edge on DOWN initiates power-down - enables discrete state-triggered sequencing. |
| OUT1–OUT4 | Open-drain enable outputs | Drive EN pins of DC/DC regulators; sequencing order and timing defined by DLY_EN_OUTx capacitor values. |
| PWRGD | Open-drain power-good output | Logical AND of all VINx > UV threshold - signals system readiness to release reset or boot CPU. |
| SEQ_DONE | Open-drain sequence completion flag | Asserted high only after full power-up sequence completes; used to trigger next stage or cascade to upstream sequencer. |
| FAULT | Bidirectional open-drain fault bus | Pulled low internally on any UV/fault condition; pulling low externally forces local fault handling - enables system-wide fault containment. |
| DLY_EN_OUT1–DLY_EN_OUT4 | Capacitor-based timing inputs | Set delay between enable transitions (e.g., OUT1 assertion → OUT2 assertion); each controls one inter-stage interval. |
| BLANK_DLY | Blanking time timing input | Defines minimum time allowed for monitored rail to rise above UV threshold before fault declaration - prevents false trips on slow-rising supplies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad up/down sequencing | Enables deterministic turn-on and turn-off of four independent power rails with configurable delays - eliminates race conditions in complex SoC/FPGA power domains. |
| 0.8% comparator accuracy | Ensures reliable undervoltage detection across temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and supply variation - critical for meeting tight margin requirements in telecom equipment. |
| Bidirectional FAULT pin | Allows single-point fault injection and distributed fault propagation across cascaded ADM1186-1 units - simplifies system-level fault isolation without additional logic. |
| Capacitor-programmable timing | Eliminates need for external clocks or microcontrollers; timing resolution from microseconds to seconds set by passive components - reduces BOM count and design complexity. |
| Open-drain outputs with 1 V VCC guarantee | Ensures valid logic levels even during brown-out (VCC ≥ 1 V), preventing spurious regulator enable/disable - enhances robustness in unstable input environments. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL in a power system?
The ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL serves as a dedicated quad-channel voltage sequencer and monitor that enforces precise up/down sequencing of four independent power rails while continuously verifying their undervoltage status. It uses internal comparators, capacitor-programmed delays, and a state machine to ensure safe, repeatable power delivery - eliminating reliance on software or general-purpose logic for critical power sequencing tasks in the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL.
How does the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL handle fault conditions during sequencing?
Upon detecting any undervoltage condition on VIN1–VIN4 or an invalid control input (e.g., rising edge on UP during POWER-UP DONE), the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL immediately enters the SET FAULT state, turning off all OUT1–OUT4 outputs and asserting SEQ_DONE low. Its bidirectional FAULT pin is pulled low, enabling automatic fault propagation to other cascaded ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL devices - ensuring coordinated system-level fault containment without external intervention.
Can the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL be used for both power-up and power-down sequencing?
Yes, the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL supports bidirectional sequencing: a rising edge on the UP pin initiates power-up (OUT1→OUT4), while a falling edge on the DOWN pin triggers power-down (OUT4→OUT1). Both sequences use identical capacitor-programmed delays on DLY_EN_OUT1–DLY_EN_OUT4, ensuring symmetrical timing control - a capability not present in the ADM1186-2 variant and central to the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL's design.
What is the role of the BLANK_DLY pin in the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL?
The BLANK_DLY pin sets the blanking time - the minimum duration allowed for a monitored supply (e.g., VIN1) to rise above its undervoltage threshold after the corresponding enable output (e.g., OUT1) is asserted. This capacitor-programmed delay prevents false fault detection on slow-rising rails like isolated DC/DC converters. The ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL applies this same blanking window to all four VIN inputs, ensuring consistent timing behavior across the entire sequencing chain.
Is the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic interfaces?
Yes, the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V on VCC and features open-drain outputs (OUT1–OUT4, PWRGD, SEQ_DONE, FAULT) that are fully compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families. Its UP/DOWN input thresholds (1.372 V to 1.428 V) and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1 V ensure robust interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs across common supply domains - a key interoperability feature of the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL.
