The ADM1085 to ADM1088 simple sequencers from Analog Devices provide an easy, yet powerful and flexible solution to the problem of power supply sequencing. They offer programmable time delays from 5 µs to several seconds and can be cascaded in a variety of ways to sequence multiple power supplies.
A choice of active-low or active-high outputs and push-pull or high voltage open-drain output stages ensures compatibility with a wide range of voltage regulators and DC-to-DC converters. The ADM1085 to ADM1088 are offered in 6-lead SC70 packages.
Key features: provide time delays between enabling of regulators; can be cascaded with regulators for multiple supply sequencing; power supply monitoring from 0,6 V; output stages: high voltage (up to 22 V) open-drain output (ADM1085/ADM1087), and push-pull outputs (ADM1086/ADM1088); fixed (5 µs typ) or capacitor adjustable time delays; enable input; low power consumption (15 µA); specified over -40 to +125°C temperature range.
