Product details
Overview
LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade power supply sequencer that controls startup and shutdown sequencing of three independent voltage rails using a single enable signal. It features 60-ms timing delays per stage, operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, draws only 25 µA quiescent current, and uses open-drain FLAG outputs for flexible interfacing with regulators in ADAS camera modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB datasheet, LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB pinout, LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB application, or LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB equivalent, this device delivers precise, temperature-stable rail sequencing with glitch-free enable control, reverse-order power-down, and cascade capability for up to nine rails - critical for FPGA, microprocessor, and multi-rail automotive power systems.
Technical Context
The LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB implements six independent, factory-programmed timers (td1–td6) - three for power-up (1–2–3 order) and three for reverse-order power-down (3–2–1). All timing delays are set to 60 ms per stage, with ±15% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and tight inter-timer ratio control (95–105%).
Its precision enable pin uses a 1.25-V internal bandgap reference with 7-µA pullup current, enabling external RC delay or resistor-divider threshold triggering. The three open-drain FLAG outputs support independent pullup voltages up to VCC + 0.3 V, allowing direct interface with diverse regulator enable inputs without level-shifting.

FAQ
What is the exact timing delay configuration of the LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB?
The LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB implements the AC timing option: all six internal timers (td1–td6) are factory-set to 60 ms each. This yields a total power-up duration of 180 ms (FLAG1 at 60 ms, FLAG2 at 120 ms, FLAG3 at 180 ms) and a reverse-order power-down sequence beginning 60 ms after EN deassertion. Accuracy is ±15% over –40°C to +125°C.
Does the LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB support independent pullup voltages for each FLAG output?
Yes, the LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB supports independent pullup voltages for FLAG1, FLAG2, and FLAG3 - each can be pulled up to a different supply rail (e.g., 1.2 V, 3.3 V, 5 V), provided no pullup exceeds VCC + 0.3 V. This enables direct interface with regulators having disparate enable voltage requirements without external level shifters.
How does the LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB handle incomplete sequencing events?
When the EN pin is deasserted mid-power-up, the LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB completes the current stage, then initiates power-down after ~120 ms - preventing partial rail activation. Similarly, if EN is reasserted mid-power-down, it finishes shutdown before restarting power-up. This behavior avoids latch-up in FPGAs and microprocessors and is intrinsic to the LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB's state machine.
Is the LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM3880-Q1 variants?
Yes, all LM3880-Q1 variants - including LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB, LM3880QMF-1AC/NOPB, and LM3880QMFE-1AC/NOPB - share identical SOT-23 (DBV) 6-pin pinout, electrical characteristics, and timing behavior. Only packaging format (reel size) and orderable part number differ; no PCB layout change is needed when substituting between them.
What is the role of the EPROM in the LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB?
The LM3880QMFX-1AC/NOPB contains factory-programmed EPROM that configures its timing delays (all set to 60 ms for AC option) and sequencing order (Sequence 1: power-up 1–2–3, power-down 3–2–1). This eliminates external configuration components and ensures deterministic, repeatable behavior - a key requirement for automotive ASIL-B compatible designs.
