POWERING THE ADM1169
The ADM1169 is powered from the highest voltage input on
either the positive-only supply inputs (VPx) or the high voltage
supply input (VH). This technique offers improved redundancy
because the device is not dependent on any particular voltage rail
to keep it operational. The same pins are used for supply fault
detection (see the Supply Supervision section). A V
on the device chooses which supply to use. The arbitrator can
be considered an OR’ing of four low dropout regulators (LDOs)
together. A supply comparator chooses the highest input to
provide the on-chip supply. There is minimal switching loss
with this architecture (~0.2 V), resulting in the ability to power
the ADM1169 from a supply as low as 3.0 V. Note that the
supply on the VXx pins cannot be used to power the device.
An external capacitor to GND is required to decouple the on-chip
supply from noise. This capacitor should be connected to the
VDDCAP pin, as shown in Figure 21. The capacitor has another
use during brownouts (momentary loss of power). Under these
conditions, when the input supply (VPx or VH) dips transiently
below V
off so that it does not pull V
then act as a reservoir to keep the device active until the next
highest supply takes over the powering of the device. A 10 μF
capacitor is recommended for this reservoir/decoupling function.
The VH input pin can accommodate supplies up to 14.4 V, which
allows the ADM1169 to be powered using a 12 V backplane supply.
In cases where this 12 V supply is hot swapped, it is recommended
that the ADM1169 not be connected directly to the supply. Suitable
precautions, such as the use of a hot swap controller or RC filter
network, should be taken to protect the device from transients
that may cause damage during hot swap events.

When two or more supplies are within 100 mV of each other,
the supply that first takes control of V
example, if VP1 is connected to a 3.3 V supply, V
to approximately 3.1 V through VP1. If VP2 is then connected
to another 3.3 V supply, VP1 still powers the device unless VP2
goes 100 mV higher than VP1.
