Customization of timing and sequence available through factory programmability
LM3880Q is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified and is manufactured on an Automotive Grade Flow
Description
The LM3880 Power Sequencer offers the easiest method to control power up and power down of multiple power supplies (switchers
or linear regulators). 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 SOT23-6 package, the Power Sequencer contains a precision enable pin and three open drain output flags. Upon
enabling the LM3880 the three output flags will sequentially release, after individual time delays, permitting the connected
power supplies to startup. The output flags will follow a reverse sequence during power down to avoid latch conditions.
EPROM capability allows every delay and sequence to be fully adjustable. Contact National Semiconductor if a non-standard
configuration is required.
Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR.
The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated
at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress
temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
