The LM3880 simple power supply sequencer offers the easiest method to control powerup sequencing and powerdown sequencing of multiple Independent voltage rails. By staggering the startup sequence, it is possible to avoid latch conditions or large in-rush currents that can affect the reliability of the system.
Available in a 6-pin SOT-23 package, the simple sequencer contains a precision enable pin and three open-drain output flags. The open-drain output flags permit that they can be pulled up to distinct voltage supplies separate from the sequencer VDD (only if they do not exceed the recommended maximum voltage of 0.3 V greater than VDD), so as to interface with ICs requiring a range of different enable signals. When the LM3880 is enabled, the three output flags sequentially release, after individual time delays, thus permitting the connected power supplies to start up. The output flags follow a reverse sequence during power down to avoid latch conditions.
EPROM capability allows every delay and sequence to be fully adjustable. Contact Texas Instruments to request a non-standard configuration.

The LM3880 evaluation board has been designed to connect directly to the power supplies of an existing system to enable sequencing. Upon enabling the device, the three open drain output flags will rise in sequential order, 1-2-3. Once the part is disabled, the shutdown sequence will occur in (...)
