Table 31b. Power-Good Assertion Delay
Power-Good Detection and PG_ Outputs
The PG_ output for a given channel is asserted when
the voltage at MON_ is between the undervoltage and
overvoltage critical limits. The status of the power-good
signals is maintained in register status3[3:0]. A value of
1 in any of the pg[] bits indicates a power-good condi-
tion, regardless of the POL setting, which only affects the
PG_ output polarity. The open-drain PG_ output can be
configured for active-high or active-low status indication
by the state of the POL input (see Table 30).
The POL input sets the value of status3[5], which is a
read-only bit; the state of the POL input can be changed
at any time during operation and the polarity of the PG_
outputs changes accordingly.
The assertion of the PG_ output is delayed by a user-
selectable time delay of 50ms, 100ms, 200ms, or 400ms
(see Tables 31a and 31b).
