LM3881 Power Sequencer February 6, 2008 LM3881 Power Sequencer General Description The LM3881 Power Sequencer offers the easiest method to control power up and power down of multiple power supplies (switching 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 MSOP-8 package, the Power Sequencer contains a precision enable pin and three open drain output flags. Upon enabling the LM3881, the three output flags will sequentially release, after individual time delays, permitting the www.DataSheet4U.com connected power supplies to startup. The output flags will follow a reverse sequence during power down to avoid latch conditions. Time delays are defined using an external capacitor and the output flag states can be inverted by the user.
