The MAX34462 is a system monitor that can manage up to 16 power supplies. The power-supply manager monitors the power-supply output voltages and constantly checks for user-programmable overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds. If a fault is detected, the device automatically shuts down the system in an orderly fashion. The device can sequence the supplies in any order at both power-up and power-down. The device contains 16 independent voltages DACs, which the device uses to close-loop margin the power-supply output voltages up or down to a user-programmable level. The device contains an internal temperature sensor and can support up to four external remote temperature sensors. Once configured, the device can operate autonomously without any host intervention.
