INTRODUCTION
The SMT4004A trakker
tm
is a fully integrated
programmable voltage manager IC, providing
precision accuracy (
1%) supervisory functions and
tracking control for up to four independent power
supplies. The four internal managers perform the
following functions: monitor source (bus-side) voltages
for under-voltage and over-voltage conditions, monitor
back end (card-side) voltages for under-voltage
conditions, ensure voltages to the card-side track
within specified parametric limits, and provide status
information to a host processor.
The SMT4004A incorporates nonvolatile program-
mable circuits for setting all monitored thresholds for
each manager. Individual functions are also pro-
grammable allowing Interrupts or Reset conditions to
be generated by many combinations of events. Also
included are nonvolatile fault status registers and a
2K-bit (256 byte) nonvolatile memory.
User programming of configuration and control values
is simplified with the interface adapter (SMX3200) and
Windows GUI software obtainable from Summit
Microelectronics.

SUPPLY MANAGERS
The SMT4004A has four distinct programmable power
supply managers and associated circuitry (see Figure
7). The managers are individually programmable and
can operate independently or together with the other
managers. Each manager monitors the bus and card-
side voltages and current for that supply (Figure 1).
The VI pin is the bus-side input that connects to two
comparators to monitor under-voltage (UV) and over-
voltage conditions (OV). The threshold for the UV
detector is programmable in 20mV increments, from
0.9V to 6.0V. The OV detector is programmable in 4%
increments of the UV settings, from 120% to 244% of
the UV settings. The OV threshold is an offset from
the UV sensor and the offset varies as the UV
threshold: if UV is set to 0.9V then OV can be set
from 1.08 to 2.2V.
The OV setting is related to the UV setting according
to the formula:
OV = UV X [(0.04 X DecVal) + 1.2]
Where: OV = Bus-side Over-voltage setting, UV =
Bus-side Under-voltage setting, and DecVal = Decimal
value of OV Register contents.
If the VI input is below the UV threshold the manager
generates a UV fault status on the internal bus. If the
VI input is above the OV threshold the manager
generates an OV fault status on the internal bus. The
UV and OV status information can be selected to
generate an IRQ# output. Refer to Figure 3 for an
illustration of the IRQ# function and the relation of the
UV and OV status of the four managers.
The VO pin is the card-side input that connects to two
comparators to monitor two under-voltage threshold
conditions. The threshold for the first under-voltage
monitor (UV1) is programmable in 20mV increments,
from 0.9V to 6.0V. If the VO input is below the UV1
threshold the manager generates an UV1 fault status
on the internal bus.
The threshold for the second under-voltage monitor
can be set equal to the UV1 threshold or to one of 31
values less than UV1. The UV2 setting is related to
the UV1 setting according to the formula:
UV2 = UV1 X [1-(0.01 X DecVal)]
Where: UV1 = Card-side primary Under-voltage
setting, UV2 = Card-side secondary Under-voltage
setting, and DecVal = Decimal value of UV2 Register
contents (last 5 LSBs).
If the VO input is below the UV2 threshold the
manager generates an UV2 fault status on the internal
bus. Generally the first threshold, UV1, is used to
provide a warning that the supply is deteriorating while
the second threshold, UV2, is set lower to indicate the
supply is out of the operating range. The UV1 and
UV2 status outputs from the manager can be
programmed to generate a Reset or an Interrupt.

The UV_OVERRIDE input is used to mask under-
voltage conditions. When asserted (high) all under-
voltage conditions are ignored. This function is used
either during system test or when performing voltage
margin tests. During normal operation this pin must
be connected to ground.
CB is the circuit breaker input. A series resistor
placed between VI and CB causes the circuit breaker
to trip when the voltage across the resistor exceeds
the programmed value of 25mV or 50mV (V
CB
). A
programmable filter is provided to allow voltage drops
greater than V
CB
for selected delays of 25s, 50s,
100s or 200s. If the filter time is exceeded an over-
current condition (QT-CB) is generated from the
manager.
The CB pin is also connected to the QuickTrip
comparator. It is used in conjunction with the circuit
breaker function or may be disabled. When enabled,
a voltage across the series resistor exceeding the
QuickTrip threshold (V
QT
) instantly generates a QT-CB
signal from the manager. V
QT
can be set to different
levels depending on the CB selection. See V
QT
page
13.
The QT-OC output from the manager can generate a
RST# (Figure 2), an IRQ#, (Figure 3) or an internal
force shutdown (FSD) and crowbar output (Figure 5).
DEVICE POWER SUPPLY
The VI inputs also provide the operating supply
voltage for the SMT4004A. Internally they are diode-
ORed, so the highest potential VI input becomes the
VDD supply. Refer to the functional Block Diagram on
page 8.
RESET CIRCUIT
The SMT4004A has four active-low, open-drain Reset
pins (RST1# - RST4#). All RST# outputs are asserted
once power is applied; remaining asserted for t
PRTO
(programmable reset timeout period, Figure 10) after
all Reset generating conditions are removed.
Individual RST# outputs can be programmed to
become active from three manager status conditions:
UV1, UV2 or QT-CB. The RST# output remains active
for t
PRTO
after the fault condition is removed (Figure 2).
Asserting the Manual Reset input (MR# low) forces all
RST# outputs low. The RST# outputs remain low
while MR# is low, returning high t
PRTO
seconds after
MR# is de-asserted.
INTERRUPT (IRQ#) CIRCUIT
The SMT4004A has an active-low open-drain IRQ#
output. The sources for triggering an interrupt are
selected from the UV, OV, UV1 and UV2 status
outputs of each manager. When asserted, IRQ# is
latched and can only be cleared by a high to low
transition on the IRQ_CLR# pin (Figure 3).

Figure 4. Charge Pump and VGATE Control
CHARGE PUMP AND VGATE CONTROL
The VGATE outputs control the gate voltages of
external N-channel MOSFETs. Each MOSFET
separates the bus and card-side voltages. The
VGATE outputs control the card-side slew rates during
the power-on/-off interval. The VGATEs are turned on
when their controlling inputs either meet softstart
conditions or when tracking conditions are met so the
MOSFET card-side voltages track. The manager
inputs (Figure 1) and the control inputs (Figure 4)
control the VGATE outputs.
Certain conditions must be met for the VGATE outputs
to become active. The conditions are defined by the
sequence enable logic, the manager inputs and the
user selected function (softstart or track) for each
VGATE output.
The VGATE control blocks (Figure 4) are the logic
functions controlling the VGATE outputs. All inputs to
these blocks are used to enable the VGATE outputs to
drive the external MOSFETs.
The ENABLE input only affects the charge pump
(VGG_CAP voltage). Its active state is programmable
and must be true to turn-on the charge pump. The
charge pump provides the high-side drive voltage to
the VGATE pins.
The PWR_ON and FORCE_SD inputs active states
are programmable. PWR_ON, SEATED1# and
SEATED2# must be true and FORCE_SD false to
enable a power-on sequence.

If both softstart and tracking are enabled, the softstart
VGATE outputs must be fully on (VGATE =
VGG_CAP) before the tracking VGATEs are enabled.
The VO inputs are monitored and compared by the
tracking logic to control the VGATEs of the tracked
voltages. They are also used by the VGATE tracking
control logic to generate a TRKR_IRQ# output if a
differential of
>300mV between any tracked VO input
occurs during the tracking interval.
FORCE SHUTDOWN AND CROWBAR
The VGATE outputs can be rapidly shutdown by
asserting the FORCE_SD input or when an internally
generated force shutdown (FSD) occurs.
Internal sources that generate a force shutdown are
programmable and are: a TRKR_IRQ#, a general
IRQ# or an over-current condition (QT-CB) (Figure 5).
HEALTHY# AND CBFAULT
The SMT4004A has two status output pins,
HEALTHY# and CBFAULT (Figure 6). HEALTHY# is
an active-low open-drain output that is asserted when
all bus and card-side conditions are within the
programmed settings, i.e., there must be no bus or
card-side fault conditions (programmed RST#s,
IRQ#s, or TRKR_IRQ#s) from the bus-side UV, OV
and card-side UV1, UV2 and QT-CB outputs from the
managers. If no RST#s, IRQ#s, or TRKR_IRQ#s are
enabled, HEALTHY# will stay asserted even if fault
conditions exist. HEALTHY# is an instantaneous
indication of the status of the RST#s, IRQ#, and
TRKR_IRQ# signals, and is derived from the
unlatched versions of these signals. The CBFAULT is
programmable as an active high or active low output.
It is asserted when an over-current condition (QT-CB)
occurs (Figure 6).
FAULT STATUS REGISTERS
The SMT4004A has three nonvolatile fault status
registers. When an IRQ# is generated the cause of
the interrupt is recorded in the fault register. The fault
source is indicated as a `1' in the assigned bit location
(Table 1). The fault status registers are overwritten
each time an IRQ# is generated. The fault status
registers are always available for reading except for
when a nonvolatile write is in progress. Overwriting
(clearing) the fault condition is dependent upon the
device configuration with regard to the programmable
`active writing state' of the MR# input. Clearing the
fault status registers is not necessary as the last fault
condition overwrites any information previously stored.
If clearing the registers is desired, it is accomplished
by forcing a write to those registers while no fault
conditions exist.

For prototyping purposes, the Windows GUI
(described in the Serial Interface section) has an
option to clear the fault status registers.
Fault recording is disabled when the PWR_ON input is
de-asserted.

WATCHDOG AND LONGDOG TIMERS
The SMT4004A's internal timer triggers the activation
of the LDO# and WDO# outputs. LDO# and WDO#
are active-low open-drain outputs that can be wire-
ORed with other open-drain signals.
During a power-on sequence the timers are disabled
until all four Resets are released. At this time both
timers, if enabled, begin clocking at t
0
. If either times
out, it asserts its respective output. The timers work in
tandem, so any low to high transition on the WLDI
input Resets both timers to t
0
.
The longdog timer must be programmed to timeout
sometime after the watchdog timer. The WDO# could
then be wire-ORed with the IRQ# output to provide an
alert that action needs to be taken. The LDO# output
could be wire-ORed with a system RST# signal to
indicate a shutdown condition exists.
Both timers can be programmed off, facilitating system
debug. This feature can also be used to allow an
operating system to boot-up and configure itself
without Interrupts or Resets.
SERIAL INTERFACE AND GENERAL PURPOSE
EEPROM MEMORY ARRAY

The SMT4004A uses the industry standard I
2
C 2-wire
serial data interface. This interface provides access to
the configuration registers, the nonvolatile fault
registers and a 2K-bit (256 byte) nonvolatile memory.
The interface has three address inputs (A0, A1, and
A2) allowing up to eight devices on the same bus.
This allows multiple devices on the same board or
multiple boards in a system to be controlled with two
signals: SDA and SCL.
The configuration and nonvolatile fault registers share
the same device type identifier, 1001
BIN
, which is
distinct from the 2K-memory device type identifier,
optionally 1010
BIN
or 1011
BIN
. The separation of
address space allows full utilization of the EEPROM
memory array. The memory is functionally identical to
the industry standard 24C02. However, the last 48-
bytes in the memory array are reserved for test
purposes.
The memory array can be read with MR# low. The
memory array cannot be written when the part is in
reset whether from MR# being low or from any other
reset source. The configuration and fault registers
may be read regardless of the state of MR#. A user
option selects the active state of the MR# input for
writing to the configuration and fault registers.
Device configuration utilizing the Windows based
SMT4004A graphical user interface (GUI) is highly
recommended. The software is available from the
Summit website (
www.summitmicro.com
). Using the
GUI in conjunction with this datasheet and Application
Note 22 simplifies the process of device prototyping
and the interaction of the various functional blocks. A
programming Dongle (SMX3200) is available from
Summit to communicate with the SMT4004A. The
Dongle connects directly to the parallel port of a PC
and programs the device through a cable using the I
2
C
bus protocol.

CROWBAR
CROWBAR is an active high totem pole output. It is a programmable output;
it can act as a CROWBAR output or as an Early-Voltage-Drive (EVD) output.
As a CROWBAR it generates a short duration (
20s) positive pulse
generally used to trigger an external SCR. The sources for initiating the
pulse are user selectable and are illustrated in Figure 5. As an EVD output,
the pin is held high until the SMT4004A begins tracking, allowing an external
MOSFET to discharge any residual voltages on the card-side power rails.

5 I MR#
The MR# (manual Reset) pin is an active low input. When MR# is driven low,
the RST1# through RST4# pins are driven low and stay low while MR# is
asserted. After MR# returns high, the Reset outputs remain low for t
PRTO

6 I
IRQ_CLR#
The IRQ_CLR# pin is an active low input. A low on IRQ_CLR# clears any
active IRQ#. As long as IRQ_CLR# is held low, IRQ#s are blocked. The
IRQ_CLR# pin is internally pulled-up to VDD_CAP with a 100K
resistor.
7 O IRQ#
The IRQ# is an active low open-drain output. It is driven low when one or
more of its programmable triggers are active. The programmable trigger
sources are illustrated in Figure 3.

lengths the SEATED# inputs should be tied to the short pins. Internally these
pins are pulled-up to VDD_CAP with 100K
resistors.
12 I
UV_OVERRIDE
The UV_OVERRIDE pin is an active high input. When asserted, the UV
comparators are disabled (Figure 1). Internally this pin is pulled-up to
VDD_CAP with a 100K
resistor. This pin must be low for normal operation.
Note:

14 O RST2#
15 O RST3#
16 O RST4#
The RST# outputs are active low open-drain outputs. The supply manager
trigger source for each Reset output is individually programmable and is
illustrated in Figure 2. Each output remains low until the fault is removed and
t
PRTO
has expired. All Reset outputs are driven low when the MR# input is
asserted; remaining low while MR# is asserted, and for t
PRTO
after MR# is
released.
17 PWR PGND
PGND is the ground for the power portion of the internal circuitry. It is
internally tied to pin 8. Both pins must be tied to system ground.
18 PWR DGND
DGND is the ground for the digital portion of the internal circuitry. It must be
tied to system ground.
19 PWR AGND
AGND is the ground for the analog portion of the internal circuitry. It must be
tied to system ground.
20 I VO1
21 I VO2
22 I VO3

The VO inputs are used to monitor the card-side voltages for the individual
managers.
24 I
P
ENABLE
ENABLE is an input with a programmable active true state. When the input is
true the charge pump that supplies the high side drive voltage for the VGATE
outputs is turned on. The ENABLE input is internally tied to VDD_CAP with a
100K
resistor.
25 O
P
CBFAULT
CBFAULT is an output with a programmable true state. CBFAULT is
asserted when there is an over-current condition (QT-CB).
26 O
HEALTHY#
HEALTHY# is an unlatched active-low open-drain output. It is asserted when
all four managers report no bus-side over-voltages (OV), under-voltages (UV)
or card-side under-voltages (UV1 or UV2) or over-current (QT-CB)
conditions. See Figure 6.
27 I
P
FORCE_SD
FORCE_SD is an input with a programmable active true state. When the
input is true the VGATE outputs are immediately turned off and clamped to
ground. The FORCE_SD input is internally tied to VDD_CAP with a 100K
resistor.
28 PWR VGG_CAP
VGG_CAP is a charge storage connection for the SMT4004A internal charge
pump. A 1
F capacitor rated above 16V is recommended for most
applications.
29 O VGATE4
30 O VGATE3
31 O VGATE2
32 O VGATE1
The VGATE outputs are used to control the turn-on of the card-side voltages
by providing a high side voltage to a power MOSFET. The fully on output
voltage is 14.5V.

33 I PWR_ON
PWR_ON is an input with a programmable active true state. It must be true
for the SMT4004A to begin turning on the VGATE outputs. The PWR_ON
input is internally tied to VDD_CAP with a 100K
resistor. Once the power-
on operation is complete, de-asserting the PWR_ON input forces the tracked
channels to track down. The channels programmed for softstart are
unaffected and their respective VGATE outputs remain active.
34 I CB4
35 I CB3
36 I CB2

VI1
The VI inputs provide two functions. They are primarily the bus-side
(unswitched) voltage monitoring inputs for the individual supply managers.
Additionally, they are internally diode-ORed to provide the SMT4004A's
VDD_CAP supply.
42 PWR VDD_CAP
VDD_CAP is a charge storage connection to the SMT4004A's internal power
supply. For most applications this pin is tied to a 10F capacitor to ground.

The address pins are biased either to VDD_CAP or GND and provide a
mechanism for assigning a unique I
2
C serial bus address to the SMT4004A.
These pins are internally pulled-up to VDD_CAP with 100K
resistors.
46 I/O SDA
SDA is the bidirectional serial data pin. This pin is internally pulled-up to
VDD_CAP with 100K
resistor. SDA is configured as an open-drain output
and requires a pull-up resistor to the highest VDD of the I
2
C system for proper
operation.
47 I SCL
SCL is the serial clock input, used for clocking data into or out of the
SMT4004A. This pin is internally pulled-up to VDD_CAP with 100K
resistor.
SCL is configured as an open-drain output and requires a pull-up resistor to
the highest VDD of the I
2
C system for proper operation.
48 I WLDI
WLDI is an input. A low-to-high transition on this pin resets both the
watchdog and longdog timers to t
0
. If the WLDI input is held high, WDO# is
disabled while the LDO# output remains active. The WLDI input is internally
tied to VDD_CAP through a 100K
resistor.

1% accuracy can be achieved for either bus-side UV or bus-side OV, but not both. This is due to the relationship between OV and
UV settings noted on page 2 of this data sheet. However, a 1% accuracy is achieved when monitoring bus-side OV and card-side
UV1. To obtain this accuracy, OV is set to the minimum setting (decimal value = 0) and adjusted with the UV setting to reach the
desired 1% OV trip point.
Accuracy data is stored in pages 13-15 of the EEPROM memory array. Erasure of this data will render
the SMT4004A GUI unusable. Loss of this data will not alter preset UV/OV trip points.

SOFTSTART VS TRACKING
As a power supply manager the SMT4004A separates
two power domains; the bus-side, or source power
supplies, and the card-side that contains the
application circuitry. Its primary tasks are to monitor
the voltages and control the switching of the bus-side
voltages to the card-side circuits. The switching is
accomplished by providing a high-side drive output on
the VGATE pins. The VGATE output is applied to the
gates of the power MOSFET.
Softstart
The supply managers can act as either tracking
managers or as softstart managers. Individual
managers turn on their VGATE outputs once all
enabling conditions for that class of manager (softstart
or tracking) are met. If a manager is set to soft start,
its VGATE output ramps at a programmable constant
slew rate until it reaches its maximum value. This
operation is commonly used when a voltage (e.g., 5V)
is first switched into a DC-to-DC converter or group of
LDOs. These outputs may then be tracked to the
card-side logic.
Tracking
When a manager is programmed for tracking all
enabling conditions for that class of manager
(tracking) must be met before the VGATE outputs are
turned on. The enabling conditions also include all
softstart managers having their VGATE outputs fully
on with no existing fault conditions for the softstart
managers.
During tracking the card-side voltages are monitored
to minimize the differential voltage between each
tracked voltage until they reach their respective
undervoltage thresholds (UV1). In tracking mode the
ramp rates are constant but can stop and wait. That
is, if, during the tracking interval, there is any
difference between the VO inputs, the VGATE outputs
will stop and wait for the slow channel to catch up.
POWER-ON
Initial Conditions
At least one of the VI pins must be equal to or greater
than 2.85V before the power-on operation can
proceed. For reliable operation the VDD_CAP node
voltage must be equal to or greater than 2.7V (voltage
level measured on pin 42). This requires that at least
one of the VI inputs needs to be at or above 2.85V for
proper device operation. There is internal arbitration
circuitry which chooses the highest VIx to power the
SMT4004A and causes an internal voltage drop from
VIx to VDD_CAP.
Both SEATED# inputs must be low. The SEATED#
inputs are generally used with staggered-pin
applications where the connector for the application
card has two or three levels of pin lengths. This allows
`early-power' to be applied to the SMT4004A so it can
begin to monitor bus side supplies as they come up,
and also a method to indicate the application board is
fully seated and ready for operation. Removal of a
powered board is first recognized by the SEATED#
pins going high, causing power-off of the board by
shutting down the charge-pump, not ensuring a track

down. In this application the SEATED# pins are
routed to the board's short pins and grounded when
the board is fully inserted. The SEATED# pins can be
tied to card insertion switches or they actively driven
and used as device enable inputs.
FORCE_SD can be programmed as a true high or true
low input. When asserted, the VGATE outputs are
turned off and clamped to ground. This input must be
false for power-on to proceed. This pin is internally
pulled up to the VDD_CAP node with a 100K
resistor.
The PWR_ON input can be programmed as a true
high or true low input. It must be true for both soft
start and tracking managers to turn on their VGATE
outputs. If the SMT4004A has already activated the
VGATE outputs and PWR_ON is turned off, only the
VGATE outputs for the tracking managers are turned
off. VGATE outputs programmed for soft start remain
active.
An I
2
C power-on function is available. This allows the
tracking power-on/off operations to be initiated by the
2-wire serial interface.
If the SMT4004A is configured for I
2
C power-on then
the PWR_ON pin must be in its true state.
The ENABLE input can be programmed to a true high
or true low input. The ENABLE input activates the
high-side driver charge pump and must be true for the
VGATE outputs to be able to drive the gates of the
external MOSFETs.
Managers programmed for soft start enable their
VGATE outputs once all softstarted VI inputs are
within their programmed threshold limits (UV and OV)
(Figure 13). Managers programmed for tracking
enable their VGATE output once softstarting is
successful and all tracking manager's VI inputs are
within their programmed threshold limits (Figure 14).
POWER-ON OPTIONS
Bus-side Over-voltage
If OV detection is selected and is programmed to be a
trigger source for IRQ#, and if IRQ# is a trigger source
for force shutdown (FSD), the user has several options
as to how the part reacts to an OV. Different options
can be chosen for how the SMT4004A will respond
during the time periods during power-on, after power-
on has completed, or when normal monitoring is
underway. OV detection must not be enabled on
disabled manager channels.
If an OV occurs after softstart has completed and
before tracking has begun, the SMT4004A can be
programmed to ignore the OV. A case where this
would be selected might be as illustrated in the
Simplified Applications drawing on Page 1. Assume
the +5V softstarts as planned and the LDO's are
energized. The LDOs might cause a temporary OV
condition before full regulation on the 1.5V or 2.5V
supplies occurs.
If the ignore option is selected the following are true:
1. Only managers with OV detection are
affected.
2. If OV occurs during softstart, the VGATE
outputs are turned off and remain off until the
OV condition is cleared.
3. If tracking has started and OV is detected, a
FORCE_SD is initiated.

Card-side Voltage
When tracking is selected the SMT4004A monitors the
VO inputs prior to initiating the tracking function. The
SMT4004A will not start tracking until the VO inputs
are below 0.5V (V
CSWFZ
). However, some systems may
partially charge one or more of the power busses if a
softstart voltage has energized some of the application
circuitry. If the charge is excessive (>V
CSWFZ
), tracking
will not start. The SMT4004A has two options that can
be selected to accommodate this situation.
1. The "Don't-Wait-For-Zero" (DWFZ) option can be
enabled. As the name implies the SMT4004A will
not monitor the VO inputs and tracking starts once
all UV, OV and enabling inputs are valid.
NOTE: If the starting VO potentials are too high,
tracking of low voltage supplies may not meet
some system specifications.
2. The CROWBAR pin is normally configured to
output a short positive pulse to trigger an SCR.
Optionally it can be configured as a normally
active high output during the power-on phase prior
to tracking. Configured as such, it can be used to
drive the gate of an N-channel MOSFET to
actively discharge any `early voltages.' Once
tracking is initiated, the CROWBAR output goes
low allowing the card-side voltages to turn-on.
Refer to Figure 15 for a schematic illustration.
NOTE: This feature can be used independently or
in conjunction with the DWFZ option.
Tracking Failure Options
During tracking differentials greater than 300mV
between VO inputs can be reported through the
assertion of the TRKR_IRQ# output. Any tracking
manager detecting a failure can generate an interrupt,
and any tracking manager can be assigned to track
but not generate an interrupt.
If a manager is assigned to track, and a tracking error
is detected, the SMT4004A can be programmed to
take one of the following actions.
Ignore the condition and proceed with the
power-on operation.
Shutdown all supplies and generate a
TRKR_IRQ#.
Generate a TRKR_IRQ# and proceed with the
power-on operation.

POWER-OFF
Power-off of the application circuit is affected by
turning off the VGATE outputs. This can be done by
de-asserting one of the enabling signals or the
detection of a fault condition. When the SMT4004A
receives a power-off command, whether it is from the
PWR_ON pin, an I
2
C command, or from the latching of
a fault, there will be a delay of approximately
VI
MAX
/Tracking Slew Rate (where VI
MAX
is the VI with
the highest voltage level) before the first tracked
VGATE begins to discharge.
Enabling Inputs
If the PWR_ON input is de-asserted tracking
managers will `track down' their voltages. The
softstart managers are unaffected and their VGATE
outputs remain active. If either or both SEATED#
inputs are de-asserted the SMT4004A immediately
powers-off the VGATE outputs.
If the FORCE_SD input is asserted the managers
immediately shut off the VGATE drivers by clamping
these outputs to ground (Scope Shot 4).
If the ENABLE input is de-asserted, the VGATE
outputs are shut off. Refer to Figure 9 for an
illustration of de-asserting the various enabling inputs.
SOFTWARE POWER-ON/POWER-OFF
The SMT4004A has an option allowing a commanded
power-on and power-off via the I
2
C serial interface of
tracked channels. If the device is configured for this
option, the PWR_ON pin must be in the true state.
Once all enabling conditions are met and all voltages
are within their thresholds the SMT4004A can be
tracked-up by writing to register 16. Once the
application circuit is tracked-up a subsequent write to
register 17 initiates a track down. Refer to the
applications circuits and descriptions for a system
level description.
RESET OPERATION
Once power is applied to the SMT4004A the four
RST# outputs are driven low. Because they are
meant to be used by the application circuitry, the
RST# outputs remain low until all Reset trigger
sources (for any manager's UV1, UV2 or QT-CB
output) are removed. The RST# outputs remain low
for the duration of the programmable reset time-out
period (t
PRTO
) after the triggers are cleared.
After the circuitry is `powered-on' and the SMT4004A
is in the steady-state monitoring mode, the RST#
outputs remain high unless one of the enabled fault
conditions is detected by a manager. When this
occurs only the RST# output affected by that manager
is asserted. All RST# outputs that have gone low to
indicate a problem on their corresponding channel will
remain low until all reset conditions have been
removed and t
PRTO
has expired.

All four RST# outputs are driven low when the MR#
input is taken low. They continue to assert their
outputs after MR# returns high for t
PRTO
seconds.
INTERRUPTS, FORCE SHUTDOWN AND
CROWBAR
The SMT4004A has two interrupt outputs: IRQ# and
TRKR_IRQ#. The CROWBAR output is configurable
to operate in conjunction with the IRQ# outputs.
The IRQ# output has a large number of programmable
sources for latching its output. Any combination of
supply manager fault condition outputs (UV, OV, UV1,
UV2 and QT-CB) can be enabled as a trigger for the
IRQ# latched output. Once triggered the IRQ# output
is latched and remains asserted even if the fault
condition is removed. IRQ# can only be cleared by
asserting the IRQ_CLR# input.
IRQ# can also trigger a force shutdown (FSD) and/or a
CROWBAR pulse. Refer to Figure 3 and the graphical
user interface (GUI) for the SMT4004A.
During the power on sequence of the SMT4004A the
IRQ# output is disabled for the IRQ# hold-off time
period. This time period begins when the PWR_EN
and ENABLE are active. Once the IRQ# hold-off time
period expires any programmed IRQ condition will
trigger the IRQ# output. The IRQ# hold-off time period
precedes the Reset timeout period. If the reset
conditions are removed before the end of the IRQ#
hold-off time period the reset timeout period will begin
after the IRQ# hold-off timer has timed out.
The hold
off can be extended from the end of the Reset timeout
period for 0ms, 200ms, 400ms, 800ms or 1600ms.
This allows the application circuit and all of the
supplies time to stabilize after the initial power-on.
The VGATE control circuitry monitors VO inputs for
those managers selected for tracking. If a VO input is
found to not be tracking, or deviates from the other
voltages by more than 300mV, the control circuitry
generates a tracker error. If that output is ANDed with
an enable bit it forces the TRKR_IRQ# output low. No
other fault conditions can generate a TRKR_IRQ#.
TRKR_IRQ# can trigger an internal force shutdown
and/or a CROWBAR pulse like the IRQ# output.
If the fault latch feature is enabled the fault condition is
captured. The fault sources are a forced shutdown,
CROWBAR, or IRQ#. When a fault is detected a
volatile latch is set to keep the SMT4004A from being
powered-up again until IRQ_CLR# is toggled.
The CROWBAR pin is designed to deliver an active
high pulse to an external SCR to shutdown the card-
side voltages as quickly as possible. A CROWBAR
pulse can be triggered by one of seven inputs: a QT-
CB fault, an IRQ#, a TRKR_IRQ# and/or assertion of
the FORCE_SD input. These trigger sources are
optional and any combination can be selected. Note:
because an over-current condition is potentially
catastrophic, each manager has a unique source input
to the CROWBAR logic even though they are included
in the trigger sources for an IRQ#. This allows less
harmful fault triggers to be used as inputs for the IRQ#
without generating a CROWBAR. There is also an
option to change the CROWBAR pin output from an
SCR pulse to a voltage level to discharge Card-side
early voltages prior to tracking (see Figure 15).
WATCHDOG AND LONGDOG TIMERS
The SMT4004A has two timers that generate
independent outputs: the WDO#, or watchdog timer
output, and the LDO#, or longdog timer output. Both
timers use the same clock circuitry. However, the time
out period for each timers is independently
programmable. When the timer has timed out for
either the watchdog or the longdog, their respective
outputs are driven low. The timers are Reset to t
0
by a
low-to-high transition on the WLDI input.
Note: If WLDI is held high the WDO# output is
disabled and the LDO# transitions low after its
programmed time out period t
PLDTO
. It remains low for
t
PLDTO
returning high for t
PLDTO
seconds, and repeating
the pulse output until the next low-to-high transition on
the WLDI input.
Both timers are disabled during the initial power-on
operation and will not start until all RST# outputs have
been released. The end of the initial programmable
reset time-out period, t
PRTO,
is effectively t
0
for both
timers. Asserting MR# or the occurrence of a fault
condition causing any Reset disables the timers until
the RST# outputs are released. Refer to Figure 10 for
an illustration of the relation between the timer
outputs, WLDI and the Reset functions.
SERIAL INTERFACE
Access to the configuration registers and memory
array is carried out over an industry standard 2-wire
serial interface (I
2
C). SDA is a bi-directional data line
and SCL is the clock input. Data is clocked in on the
rising edge of SCL and clocked out by the falling edge
of SCL. All data transfers begin with the MSB. During
data transfers SDA must remain stable while SCL is
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
(CONTINUED)
SMT4004A

26
high. Data are transferred in 8-bit packets with an
intervening clock period in which an acknowledge is
provided by the device receiving data.
The SCL high period (t
HIGH
) is used for generating start
and stop conditions that precede and end most
transactions on the serial bus. A high-to-low transition
of SDA during t
HIGH
is a start condition and a low-to-
high transition of SDA during t
HIGH
is a stop condition.
The interface protocol allows operation of multiple
devices and types of devices on a single bus through
the use of unique device addressing. The address
byte is comprised of a 4-bit device type identifier, a 3-
bit bus address, and a single bit indicating that the
operation is a read or a write. Refer to Table 2 for an
illustration of the configuration of the address as
defined for the SMT4004A.
The device type identifier for the memory array is
generally set to 1010
BIN
following the industry standard
for a typical nonvolatile memory. There is an option to
change the identifier to 1011
BIN
allowing it to be used
on a bus that may be occupied by other memory
devices. The configuration and fault status registers
are accessible with a separate device type identifier of
1001
BIN
.
The bus address is defined by the state (`0' or `1') of
the A0, A1 and A2 pins. The serial data stream must
match the state of these pins.
WRITE
Writing to the memory or a configuration register is
illustrated in Figures 16 and 18. A start condition
followed by the address byte is provided by the host;
the SMT4004A responds with an acknowledge; the
host then responds by sending the memory address
pointer or configuration register address pointer; the
SMT4004A responds with an acknowledge; the host
then clocks in the data. For memory writes an
additional 15 bytes of data can be written. Only one
configuration register can be written per data transfer.
After the last byte is clocked in a stop condition must
be issued for the nonvolatile write operation to
proceed.
READ
The address pointer for the registers and the memory
can only be changed by a write command. If a read
command is issued without address conditioning the
data that is clocked out will be from a location pointed
to by the last written (or read) address incremented by
one.
In order to read data from a specific location a false
write command is issued. The sequence is: issue a
start and a device address with a write command; wait
for an acknowledge; send the array or register
address; wait for an acknowledge; issue a new start
and device address with a read command; wait for an
acknowledge then proceed to clock out data. For
memory reads the host can acknowledge receipt of
data and then continue clocking out data and
acknowledging without restriction. For register reads
only a single location can be read with each command
sequence. All read operations are concluded by
issuing a stop condition. Refer to Figures 17 and 19
for an illustration of the read sequence.
MR# AND THE SERIAL INTERFACE
When writing the memory array the MR# input must be
high. When writing the memory array the SMT4004A
cannot be in reset.
When reading the status registers or memory array the
state of the MR# input is ignored.
When writing the configuration registers the default
requirement for MR# is for it to be asserted or low.
There is an option that allows this to be a `don't care'
input; that is, the pin can be high or low and the
configuration registers can be written. [This option is
chosen on the Miscellaneous Settings tab of the
Windows GUI]

PROTOTYPING WITH THE SMT4004A WINDOWS
GUI SOFTWARE
For prototyping and device evaluation use the
Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) and
SMX3200 device programmer with the SMT4004A.
The programming system is available from the Summit
website (
www.summitmicro.com
). Further explanation
of the 32 individual configuration registers and
associated GUI settings are included in Application
Note 22.
After installing and starting the interface the screen will
display six different tabs. (Before proceeding, click on
the Read Config button or Load Defaults). Each tab
represents a group of functions and features that need
to be selected for the end application.
Power Managers, Resets and IRQ#s TAB
This screen allows the user to select any one of the
four managers and then configure its operation. The
required information for each manager is:
Enable or disable the manager. If a manager is
disabled, OV must be disabled on that manager.
Tracking Mode or Soft Start.
Bus-Side Operation: adjust the UV and OV
thresholds enable their use individually.
Card-Side Operation: adjust the UV1 and UV2
thresholds and enable the use of UV2.
Turn off or select a QT threshold.
Select the sources that can trigger an interrupt.
Select the sources that can trigger a Reset.
Slew Rate, Timer and Circuit Breaker
Select the VGATE slew rate for both power-on and
power-off.
The Circuit breaker delay is the programmable
filter.
The 300mV Trakker Action refers to the optional
actions that can be taken if a differential of more
than 300mV is detected by tracking managers.
Select which manager can generate a
TRKR_IRQ#.
Select the reset timeout period.
Select both the LDO# and WDO# timer values.
Crowbar and Pin Polarity
Select one or more Crowbar Source Enables.
Select Crowbar pin function.
Select "Active" pin polarity.
IRQ#, Circuit Breaker, OV Settings
These are important house keeping chores that need
to be selected.
Starting at the bottom:
Configure the IRQ# options.
Next:
The circuit breaker trip point is the voltage drop
across the sense resistor that will be used to
determine an over-current condition.
The last two boxes determine the action that is
taken if an over-current condition exists.
Miscellaneous Settings
MRB (MR#), I
2
C power-On/Off Memory Address
Select and Bus Address Response all configure
the operation of the serial interface.
Select Fault Latching Capability.
Select whether the VO inputs need to be near 0V
before tracking commences (Disable option).
Memory Array and Status Regs
The memory array function allows reading and writing
the array. The GUI screen displays an `address-
relative' bit map of the contents of the array.
This TAB provides access to the fault status registers
and the ability to clear them during debug.

USE A KELVIN CONNECTION FOR ACCURATE
CURRENT MEASUREMENT
High current measurements using a series resistor can
be very accurate when a Kelvin connection is used
between the resistor and the VI and CB inputs. A
Kelvin connection is a 4-terminal connection, usually
made to a 2-terminal device, separating the current
path through the resistor from the voltage drop across
the resistor. The sense points are located as
physically close to the resistor terminals as possible.
This eliminates inaccuracies that may be caused by
randomly placing the sense connection along the
power trace on the printed circuit board. Figure 20
illustrates the 4-wire Kelvin principle applied to a 2-
terminal surface mount sense resistor.
Current sense resistors are available from a number of
manufacturers in two basic styles: open air and
resistor chips. Open air resistors are metal strips and
are available in both leaded and surface mount
packages. Resistor chips are surface mount
packages and offer excellent thermal characteristics.
Both styles are available in resistance ranges from
<1m
to 1. True 4-terminal sense resistors are
available, but are generally more expensive. Unless
extreme precision is required the 2-terminal resistor is
the economical choice with PCB traces tapping off the
trace at the resistor ends to provide the 4-terminal
Kelvin connection.
The VI input with highest potential is effectively the
power supply pin for the SMT4004A. This means
there will be additional current (max. 3mA) on this
PCB trace. This sense resistor (RS) to VI trace should
be of sufficient size to eliminate any unwanted voltage
drop. For optimal performance the other three RS/VI
& RS/CB traces should be nearly of equal length and
the sense resistor(s) should be as close to the
SMT4004A as possible.
POWER MOSFETS
Selection of MOSFET switches for the SMT4004A
Tracker is a compromise between load regulation,
board area, and MOSFET cost. To obtain good load
regulation with low supply voltages the MOSFET must
have a very low ON resistance (R
DS(ON)
).
SELECTING A MOSFET AND THE SENSE
RESISTOR VALUES FOR THE SMT4004A.
The following is an example of how to determine the
MOSFET and Sense resistor values for a given power
supply.
For a 1.8V supply with a 10A maximum load current,
the load resistance is equivalent to 180m
. If the total
resistance of the sense resistor plus trace resistance
plus MOSFET ON (R
DS(ON)
) resistance is 9m
, the
load regulation is approximately 5% for a load change
from 0A to 10A.
Assume the selected circuit breaker trip voltage is
25mV. If the voltage drop across the MOSFET is kept
below 25mV at maximum current then a total drop of
50mV yields a load regulation of less than 3% with a
1.8V supply, and 1% with a 5V supply. Choosing a
suitable MOSFET is simply a matter of applying Ohm's
law once the supply voltage, load current, and load
regulation requirements are known.
For the 1.8V & 10A example choose the current sense
resistor first. A margin should be allowed; so set the
trip current higher than the operating current. For
example, choosing 12.5A yields 25% over-current and
allows for the tolerances of the resistor and trip
voltage. With a nominal trip voltage of 25mV and a
trip current of 12.5A the current sense resistor is
2m.
The MOSFET R
DS(ON)
must be below 7m
. Some low
R
DS(ON)
MOSFETs are shown in Table 3.

PARALLELING MOSFETS REDUCES VOLTAGE
DROPS AND POWER DISSIPATION
When supply regulation is unacceptable due to high
R
DS(ON)
two or more MOSFETs may be wired in
parallel to lower the R
DS(ON)
. For lower voltage
supplies with high current, such as a 1V supply
delivering 15A of load current, load regulation is
improved by using two or more MOSFETs in parallel.
The R
DS(ON)
is halved when two identical MOSFETs
are connected as in Figure 21. The MOSFET gates
must be connected with identical gate resistors.
REMOTE SENSING
This technique can be used with power supplies that
have Sense inputs. Remote sensing eliminates the
effect of the current sense resistor voltage drop. With
this arrangement (Figure 22) only the MOSFET R
DS(ON)
must be considered and a wider selection of devices
can be used.

DEVELOPMENT HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
The end user can obtain the Summit SMX3200
programming system for device prototype
development. The SMX3200 system consists of a
programming Dongle, cable and Windows GUI
software. It can be ordered on the website or from a
local Summit representative. The latest revisions of all
software and an Application Brief describing the
SMX3200 is available from the website
(
www.summitmicro.com
).
The SMX3200 programming Dongle/cable interfaces
directly between a PC's parallel port and the target
application. The SMT4004A is then configured on-
screen via an intuitive graphical user interface
employing drop-down menus.
The Windows GUI software will generate the data and
send it in I
2
C serial bus format so that it can be
directly downloaded to the SMT4004A via the
programming Dongle and cable. An example of the
connection interface is shown in Figure 25.
When design prototyping is complete the software can
generate a HEX data file that should be transmitted to
Summit for design verification and approval. Summit
will then assign a unique customer ID to the HEX code
and program production devices. The devices are
marked with the customer ID as a part number suffix
per the marking specification shown at the end of the
data sheet.
Please be aware that the end user can always
reconfigure a product that has been programmed by
Summit, however, doing so does not allow the part to
be fully tested with the new configuration register
settings.
