Monitoring Fault Detector
The monitoring fault detector block is used to detect a failure on an
input. The logical function implementing this is a wide OR gate
that can detect when an input deviates from its expected condition.
The clearest demonstration of the use of this block is in the
PWRGD state, where the monitor block indicates that a failure
on one or more of the VP1, VP2, or VP3 inputs has occurred.
No programmable delay is available in this block because the
triggering of a fault condition is likely to be caused by a supply
falling out of tolerance. In this situation, the device needs to react as
quickly as possible. Some latency occurs when moving out of this
state because it takes a finite amount of time (~20 μs) for the state
configuration to download from EEPROM into the SE. Figure 29
is a block diagram of the monitoring fault detector.

Timeout Detector
The timeout detector allows the user to trap a failure to ensure
proper progress through a power-up or power-down sequence.
In the sample application shown in Figure 28, the timeout next-
state transition is from the EN3V3 and EN2V5 states. For the
EN3V3 state, the signal 3V3ON is asserted on the PDO1 output
pin upon entry to this state to turn on a 3.3 V supply.
This supply rail is connected to the VP2 pin, and the sequence
detector looks for the VP2 pin to go above its undervoltage
threshold, which is set in the supply fault detector (SFD)
attached to that pin.
The power-up sequence progresses when this change is detected.
If, however, the supply fails (perhaps due to a short circuit over-
loading this supply), the timeout block traps the problem. In this
example, if the 3.3 V supply fails within 10 ms, the SE moves to
the DIS3V3 state and turns off this supply by bringing PDO1
low. It also indicates that a fault has occurred by taking PDO3
high. Timeout delays of 100 μs to 400 ms can be programmed.
FAULT AND STATUS REPORTING
The ADM1069 has a fault latch for recording faults. Two registers,
FSTAT1 and FSTAT2, are set aside for this purpose. A single bit
is assigned to each input of the device, and a fault on that input
sets the relevant bit. The contents of the fault register can be
read out over the SMBus to determine which input(s) faulted.
The fault register can be enabled/disabled in each state. To latch
data from one state, ensure that the fault latch is disabled in the
following state. This ensures that only real faults are captured
and not, for example, undervoltage conditions that may be present
during a power-up or power-down sequence.
The ADM1069 also has a number of status registers. These
include more detailed information, such as whether an under-
voltage or overvoltage fault is present on a particular input. The
status registers also include information on ADC limit faults.
Note that the data in the status registers is not latched in any
way and, therefore, is subject to change at any time.
