Understanding Power System Management

Power System Management allows our customers to select important power supply parameters over a digital communication interface. It enables the power supply to communicate important information about the status of the power system upstream to the system or board management controller. With PSM devices, you can configure voltages, define complex on/off sequencing arrangements, define fault conditions, and set important power supply parameters.
