7.3.7 Power-Good Output Voltage Monitoring

While the PG1/PG2 of the LMQ644xx resembles a standard power-good function, the functionality is designed to replace a discrete reset IC, reducing BOM cost. There are three major differences between the PG function and the normal power-good function seen in most regulators:

  • A delay has been added for release of reset. See Table 7-2.
  • PG output signals a fault (pulls its output to ground) while the part is disabled.
  • PG continues to operate with input voltage as low as 1.2 V. Below this input voltage, PG output can be high impedance.

For dual output configuration (RCONFIG = 0 or 121 kΩ), The PG1 is an open-drain and must be tied through a resistor to an external voltage, and pulls low if the monitors on FB1 or VOSNS1 trip. The PG2 flag is configured in the same manner as PG1 and monitors the second output at either FB2 or VOSNS2.

For single-output multi-phase operation (9.53 kΩ < RCONFIG < 93.1 kΩ) , PG2 is re-configured as SYNC-OUT to provide a phase shifted clock to the secondary devices. In this configuration, the PG2/SYNC-OUT terminal of the primary device can be left floating for dual phase operation or tied to the SYNC pin of the secondary device for more than four-phases. For six-phase operation the PG2/SYNC-OUT pin of the secondary device is connected to the SYNC pin of the tertiary device.

Table 7-2 Conditions that Cause PG to Signal a Fault (Pull Low)
FAULT CONDITION INITIATED FAULT CONDITION ENDS (AFTER WHICH tRESET_ACT MUST PASS BEFORE RESET OUTPUT IS RELEASED)
FB below VRESET_UV for longer than tRESET_FILTER FB above VRESET_UV + VRESET_HYST for longer than tRESET_FILTER
FB above VRESET_OV for longer than tRESET_FILTER FB below VRESET_OV – VRESET_HYST for longer than tRESET_FILTER
Junction temperature exceeds TSD_R Junction temperature falls below TSD_F(1)
EN low tEN passes after EN becomes high(1)
VIN falls low enough so that VCC falls below VCC_UVLO - VCC_UVLO_HYST. This value is called VIN_OPERATE. Voltage on VIN is high enough so that VCC pin exceed VCC_UVLO(1)
(1) As an additional operational check, PG remains low during soft start. It is defined as until the lesser of either full output voltage reached or tSS2 has passed since initiation. This is true even if all other conditions in this table are met and tRESET_ACT has passed. Lockout during soft start does not require tRESET_ACT to pass before PG is released.

The threshold voltage for the PG function is specified to take advantage of the availability of the internal feedback threshold to the PG circuit. This allows a maximum threshold of 96.5% of selected output voltage to be specified at the same time as 96% of actual operating point. The net result is a more accurate reset function while expanding the system allowance for transient response. See the output voltage error stack-up comparison in Figure 7-9.

In addition to signaling a fault upon overvoltage detection (FB above VRESET_OV), the switch node is shut down and a small, approximately 1-mA pulldown is applied to the SW node.
