The SENSEx inputs are used to monitor the voltage rails against system level bounds (or limits). For this design the output voltages to be monitored are:
The design VOUTx_RISE and VOUTx_FALL for each rail is specified in Table 9-2
| Channel # | Channel Type |
VOUTx_NOM (V) | VONx_RISE (%) | VONx_RISE (V) | VONx_FALL (%) | VONx_FALL (V) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | UV | 3.3 | 98 | 3.23 | 95 | 3.14 |
| 2 | OV | 105 | 3.47 | 102 | 3.37 | |
| 3 | UV | 1.8 | 98 | 1.76 | 97 | 1.75 |
| 4 | OV | 103 | 1.85 | 102 | 1.84 |
Using Equation 21 and Equation 22 we can calculate the top and bottom reference resistors and select the closest resistor values using 0.1% resistor values. Table 9-3 shows the reference (or calculated) top and bottom resistors. Table 9-4 shows the selected resistors for the application.
| Channel # | RTOP (kΩ) | RBOTTOM (kΩ) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4.13 | 0.94 |
| 2 | 0.86 | |
| 3 | 0.75 | 0.39 |
| 4 | 0.36 |
An calculation example for channel 1 (or SENSE1) top and bottom resistor is shown below:
| Channel # | RTOP (kΩ) | RBOTTOM (kΩ) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4.12 | 0.931 |
| 2 | 0.866 | |
| 3 | 0.75 | 0.383 |
| 4 | 0.357 |
Now that the actual resistors are known, we can calculate the actual on and off nominal voltages and the error voltages by using Equation 9, Equation 10, Equation 11, Equation 14, Equation 15, and Equation 20. Using the errors, we can calculate the upper and lower voltages and normalize the values with respect to the nominal output voltage.
| Channel # | VOUTx_RISE_NOMINAL (V) | VOUTx_RISE_NOMINAL(1) (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.25 | 98.48 |
| 2 | 3.45 | 104.51 |
| 3 | 1.77 | 98.44 |
| 4 | 1.86 | 103.19 |
| Channel # | VOUTx_FALL_NOMINAL (V) | VOUTx_FALL_NOMINAL (%)(1) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.15 | 95.48 |
| 2 | 3.35 | 104.51 |
| 3 | 1.75 | 98.88 |
| 4 | 1.84 | 103.19 |
