UCD90320: UCD90320

Part Number: UCD90320
  • UCD has AMON, EN, MAR, DMON and GPIOs.
  • AMON will be used for voltage monitoring
  • EN  as ON/OFF of DC-DC parts (  for sequencing)
  • MAR for marginal testing ( like increasing and descreasing the Voltage o/p of DC-DC parts)
  • DMON for digital monitoring  ( Power GOOD of DC-DC part can be connected to DMON)
  • GPIO   as  its name suggests General purpose input/output Pins.

 

If my above understanding is correct then below is my querry.

 

I have around 15 DC-DC parts in design, But the DMON pins are only 8 nos in package and part which I am using, So the remaining PGOODs if connected to GPI pins, can they be grouped for a power rail to enable conditional sequencing?

 

Second related clarification , how are DMON pins different than a  normal GPIO?, Infact all the pins except AMONs can be configured as GPIOs even DMON pins also, right? Can any GPIO pins not be configured to be used as DMON pins?

  • Hi

    UCD90302 has 24analog MON + 8 DMON. Application can still connect PGOOD to the AMON since it would be a 3V3 input to the AMON pin.

    For the GPI signal, it does not have the features of rails, such dependencies, TURN ON/TURN OFF Delay.

    Only DMON pins can be used for DMON Function
