When monitoring a positive supply, the desired nominal
operating voltage for monitoring is denoted by V
M
, I
M
is the
nominal current through the resistor divider, V

Figure 17 illustrates the positive voltage monitoring input

and low-side voltage, V

. The high-side voltage is connected to
the corresponding VHx pin, and the low-side voltage is
connected to the corresponding VLx pin.
To trigger an overvoltage condition, the low-side voltage (in this
case, V
PL
) must exceed the 0.5 V threshold on the VLx pin. The
low-side voltage, V

Negative Voltage Monitoring Scheme
Figure 18 shows the circuit configuration for negative supply
voltage monitoring. To monitor the negative voltage, a 1 V
reference voltage is required to connect to the end node of the
voltage divider circuit. This reference voltage is generated
internally and is output through the REF pin.

Figure 18. Negative Undervoltage/Overvoltage Monitoring Configuration
The equations described in the Positive Voltage Monitoring
Scheme section need some minor modifications for use with
negative voltage monitoring. The 1 V reference voltage is added
to the overall voltage drop; it must therefore be subtracted from
V
M
, V
UV
, and V
OV
before using each in the previous equations.
To monitor a negative voltage level, the resistor divider circuit
divides the voltage differential level between the 1 V reference
voltage and the negative supply voltage into high-side voltage,
V
NH
, and low-side voltage, V
NL
. Similar to the positive voltage
monitoring scheme, the high-side voltage, V
NH
, is connected to
the corresponding VH
X
pin, and the low-side voltage, V
NL
, is
connected to the corresponding VL
X
pin. Refer to the Voltage
Monitoring Example section for more information.

THRESHOLD ACCURACY
The reset threshold accuracy is fundamental, especially at lower
voltage levels. Consider an FPGA application that requires a 1 V
core voltage input with tolerance of ±5%, where the supply has a
specified regulation, for example, ±1.5%. As shown in Figure 19, to
ensure that the supply is within the FPGA input voltage
requirement range, its voltage level must be monitored for UV
and OV conditions. The voltage swing on the supply itself
causes the voltage band available for setting the monitoring
threshold to be quite narrow. In this example, the threshold
voltages, including the tolerances, must fit within a monitor
region of only 0.035 V. The ADM2914 device with 0.1%
resistors can achieve this level of accuracy.

VOLTAGE MONITORING EXAMPLE
To il lustrate how the ADM2914 device works in a real application,
consider the 1 V input example shown in Figure 19, with the
addition of a −12 V rail.
The first step is to choose the nominal current flow through
both voltage divider circuits, for example, 5 µA.
For the 1 V ±5% input, due to the specified ±1.5% regulation of
the supply, the UV and OV thresholds should be set in the middle
of the voltage monitoring band. In this case, on the ±3.25%
points of the supply, the UV threshold is 0.9675 V and the OV
threshold is 1.0325 V.
Input these values into Equation 1.

This design approach meets the application specifications. As
described previously, the 1 V rail is specified with an input
requirement of ±5% and a supply tolerance of ±1.5%. This
effectively means that the OV threshold of the monitoring
device, including all the tolerance factors, must fit within the
1.015 V to 1.05 V range. Similarly, the UV threshold range must
be between 0.95 V and 0.985 V.
The four worst-case scenarios of minimum and maximum
undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds are calculated as follows:

Next, consider a −12 V input, which is specified with a ±20%
input. The threshold accuracy required by the supply is chosen
to be within ±5% of the −12 V rail. Therefore, the overvoltage
threshold is set to −13.5 V, and the undervoltage threshold is
−10.5 V. The negative voltage scheme configuration requires
that the 1 V reference voltage be accounted for in Equation 1 to
Equation 3. The 1 V reference voltage is subtracted from V

V
UV
, and V

, and the absolute value of the result is taken.

POWER-UP AND POWER-DOWN
On power-up, when V
CC
reaches 1 V, the active low
UV
output
is asserted, and the
OV
output pulls up to V
CC
. When the voltage
on the V
CC
pin reaches 1 V, the ADM2914 is guaranteed to assert
UV
low and
OV
high. When V
CC
exceeds 1.9 V (minimum), the
VHx and VLx inputs take control. When V
CC
and each of the
VHx inputs are valid, an internal timer begins. Subsequent to
an adjustable time delay,
UV
weakly pulls high.
UV/OV TIMING CHARACTERISTICS
UV
is an active low output. It is asserted when any of the four
monitored voltages is below its associated threshold. When the
voltage on the V
CC
pin is above 2 V, an internal timer holds
UV
low for an adjustable period, t
UOTO
, after the voltage on all the
monitoring rails rises above their thresholds. This allows time
for all monitored power supplies to stabilize after power-up.
Similarly, any monitored voltage that falls below its threshold
initiates a timer reset, and the timer starts again when all the
monitoring rails rise above their thresholds.
The
UV
and
OV
outputs are held asserted after all faults have
cleared for an adjustable timeout period, determined by the
value of the external capacitor attached to the TIMER pin.
TIMER CAPACITOR SELECTION
The
UV
and
OV
timeout period on the ADM2914 is
programmable via the external timer capacitor, C
TIMER
, placed
between the TIMER pin and ground. The timeout period, t
UOTO
,
is calculated using the following equation:
F/sec)10)(115)((

UOTOTIMER
tC
Refer to Figure 15 in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section, which illustrates the delay time as a function of the
timer capacitor value. A minimum capacitor value of 10 pF is
required. The chosen timer capacitor must have a leakage current
that is less than the 1.3 µA TIMER pin charging current. To
bypass the timeout period, connect the TIMER pin to V
CC
.
