Product details
Overview
ADM1186-2ARQZ-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 an open-drain PWRGD output. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and supports bidirectional sequencing control via a single UP/DOWN pin - used in server motherboard power management and FPGA-based embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL datasheet, ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL pinout, ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL application, or ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-lead QSOP package, absence of SEQ_DONE and FAULT pins (vs. ADM1186-1), capacitor-based delay tuning, UV threshold accuracy, and compatibility with cascaded sequencing in telecom and industrial computing platforms.
Technical Context
The ADM1186-2 implements a deterministic finite-state machine that executes up/down sequencing based on edge-triggered transitions on its single UP/DOWN pin. It uses a shared 0.6 V internal reference for all four VINx comparators, with external resistor dividers setting per-rail undervoltage thresholds. Blanking time (set by BLANK_DLY capacitor) and inter-output delays (DLY_EN_OUT1–DLY_EN_OUT4) are independently programmable with ±5% timing accuracy at 25°C.
Unlike the ADM1186-1, the ADM1186-2 omits the SEQ_DONE and FAULT pins and replaces separate UP/DOWN inputs with a dual-function UP/DOWN pin - reducing pin count while retaining full bidirectional sequencing capability. Its state machine enforces strict fault handling: any UV condition on VIN1–VIN4 or unexpected UP/DOWN transition immediately halts sequencing and asserts all OUTx low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - powers internal logic and comparators; UVLO activates below 2.46 V to ensure known output states. |
| VINx Accuracy | ±0.8% worst-case - enables reliable undervoltage detection across temperature (−40°C to +85°C) using external resistor dividers. |
| Time Delay Accuracy | ±5% at 25°C - allows predictable, capacitor-tuned sequencing intervals (10 nF–2.2 µF range) without trimming. |
| Response Time | 5.5–12.1 µs (UP/DOWN to OUTx) - ensures rapid fault reaction and tight timing control during dynamic sequencing events. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-high OUT1–OUT4 and PWRGD - supports wired-OR logic, level translation, and direct interfacing with enable inputs of DC/DC regulators. |
| Glitch Immunity | 3.3–9.7 µs (UP/DOWN input) - filters noise on control lines to prevent spurious sequencing triggers in electrically noisy environments. |
| Supply Current | 146–210 µA (steady state) - enables low-power operation in always-on sequencing supervision circuits. |
Pinout & Package
ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL is housed in a 16-lead QSOP package (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 0.635 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in high-density computing and telecom equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1–VIN4 | Noninverting comparator inputs | Monitor four independent voltage rails via external resistor dividers; each compared to 0.6 V reference for UV detection. |
| UP/DOWN | Edge-triggered sequencing control | Rising edge initiates power-up; falling edge initiates power-down - eliminates need for separate UP/DOWN pins. |
| OUT1–OUT4 | Open-drain enable outputs | Drive enable inputs of DC/DC converters; asserted high after programmed delays to enforce strict rail activation order. |
| PWRGD | Open-drain power-good output | Logic AND of all VINx states - goes high only when all four monitored rails exceed their UV thresholds. |
| BLANK_DLY | Blanking time timing input | Capacitor sets minimum wait time before VINx compliance check - prevents false faults during slow-rising supplies. |
| DLY_EN_OUT1–DLY_EN_OUT4 | Sequence delay timing inputs | Capacitors set inter-output delays during both power-up and power-down sequences - enables asymmetric timing profiles. |
| GND / VCC | Power supply terminals | Single 2.7–5.5 V supply powers entire device; GND provides reference for all analog and digital functions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel UV monitoring | Four independent 0.8% accurate comparators share one 0.6 V reference - reduces BOM count and improves matching vs. discrete solutions. |
| Capacitor-programmable delays | Five dedicated timing pins (BLANK_DLY + DLY_EN_OUT1–4) allow fully customizable up/down sequencing intervals without firmware or external logic. |
| Bidirectional sequencing control | Single UP/DOWN pin replaces dual UP/DOWN inputs - simplifies system-level control wiring and reduces host GPIO usage. |
| Open-drain output architecture | All outputs (OUT1–OUT4, PWRGD) are open-drain - supports flexible voltage translation, wired-OR fault signaling, and safe hot-swap enable sequencing. |
| Fault-immune state machine | Automatic entry into fault-handling mode on any UV event or invalid UP/DOWN transition - guarantees all outputs go low within 12.1 µs to protect downstream circuitry. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL in a power system?
The ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL serves as a hardware-based quad-channel voltage sequencer and monitor. It controls the precise timing and order of power supply turn-on and turn-off across four independent rails using capacitor-programmed delays, while continuously verifying undervoltage conditions via four 0.8% accurate comparators. Its UP/DOWN pin enables bidirectional sequencing without external logic, making ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL ideal for FPGA, server, and telecom applications demanding deterministic, firmware-free power control.
How does the ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL differ from the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL?
The ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL uses a single UP/DOWN pin for bidirectional sequencing control and omits the SEQ_DONE and FAULT pins found on the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL. It is packaged in a 16-lead QSOP versus the 20-lead QSOP of the ADM1186-1ARQZ-REEL. These differences reduce pin count and board area but remove cascading capability and external fault signaling - meaning ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL is optimized for standalone, space-constrained sequencing rather than multi-device coordinated systems.
Can the ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL be used with non-5 V or non-3.3 V supply rails?
Yes - the ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL monitors any voltage rail via external resistor dividers connected to VIN1–VIN4. Since its internal comparator reference is fixed at 0.6 V, the resistor ratio determines the undervoltage threshold (e.g., 7.4 kΩ/2.5 kΩ sets a 2.375 V trip point). This allows seamless adaptation to 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 5 V, 12 V, or even negative rails (with level-shifting), provided input voltages stay within the −0.3 V to +6 V absolute maximum rating. The ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL thus supports heterogeneous rail architectures without redesign.
What timing accuracy can be expected from the capacitor-programmed delays on the ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL?
The ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL achieves ±5% time delay accuracy at 25°C for capacitors ranging from 10 nF to 2.2 µF, excluding external capacitor tolerance. This specification covers both blanking time (BLANK_DLY) and inter-output delays (DLY_EN_OUT1–DLY_EN_OUT4). At full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), accuracy degrades to ±9% per the datasheet. Designers should select C0G/NP0 ceramic capacitors with ≤5% tolerance to maintain overall timing integrity - critical for meeting FPGA or ASIC power sequencing windows.
Does the ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL require external components to operate?
Yes - the ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL requires external components for full functionality: (1) resistor dividers on VIN1–VIN4 to scale rail voltages to the 0.6 V comparator threshold; (2) timing capacitors on BLANK_DLY and DLY_EN_OUT1–DLY_EN_OUT4 to set sequencing delays; and (3) pull-up resistors on open-drain outputs (OUT1–OUT4, PWRGD) to define logic-high voltage levels. No external clock or firmware is needed - all sequencing logic is self-contained. These passive components make ADM1186-2ARQZ-REEL a truly plug-and-play hardware sequencer.
