•
The LM3881 Simple Power Sequencer offers the
easiest method to control power up and power down
of multiple power supplies (switching or linear
regulators). By staggering the start-up sequence, it is
possible to avoid latch conditions or large inrush
currents that can affect the reliability of the system.

Easiest Method to Sequence Rails
Power-Up and Power-Down Control
Tiny Footprint
Low Quiescent Current of 80 µA
Input Voltage Range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V
Output Invert Feature
Timing Controlled by Small Value External
Capacitor
Available in VSSOP-8 package, the Simple
Sequencer contains a precision enable pin and three
open-drain output flags. When the LM3881 is
enabled, the three output flags will sequentially
release, after individual time delays, thus permitting
the connected power supplies to start up. 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.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM3881 Simple Power Sequencer provides a simple solution for sequencing multiple rails in a controlled
manner. An established clock signal facilitates control of the power up and power down of three open-drain FET
output flags. These flags permit connection to shutdown or enable pins of linear regulators and/or switching
regulators to control the operation of the power supplies. This allows design of a complete power system without
the concern of large inrush currents or latch-up conditions that can occur during an uncontrolled startup. An
invert (INV) pin reverses the logic of the output flags. This pin should be tied to a logic output high or low and not
allowed to remain open circuit. The following discussion assumes the INV pin is held low such that the flag
output is active high.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Adjustable Timing
A small external timing capacitor is connected to the TADJ pin that establishes the clock waveform. This
capacitor is linearly charged/discharged by a fixed current source/sink, denoted ITADJ_SRC / ITADJ_SNK, of
magnitude 12 µA between predefined voltage threshold levels, denoted VLTH and VHTH, to generate the timing
waveform as shown in Figure 8.

Low Threshold Level,

TCLK
Figure 8. TADJ Pin Timing Waveform
Thus, the clock cycle duration is directly proportional to the timing capacitor value. Considering the TADJ voltage
threshold levels and the charge/discharge current magnitude, it can be shown that the timing capacitor-clock
period relationship is typically 120 µs/nF. For example, a 10-nF capacitor sets up a clock period of 1.2 ms.
The timing sequence of the LM3881 is controlled by the enable (EN) pin. Upon power up, all the flags are held
low until the precision enable pin exceeds its threshold. After the EN pin is asserted, the power-up sequence will
commence and the open-drain flags will be sequentially released.
An internal counter will delay the first flag (FLAG1) from rising until a fixed time period, denoted by TD1 in
Figure 9, elapses. This corresponds to at least nine, maximum 10, clock cycles depending on where EN is
asserted relative to the clock signal. Upon release of the first flag, another timer will begin to delay the release of
the second flag (FLAG2). This time delay, denoted TD2, corresponds to exactly eight clock periods. Similarly,
FLAG3 is released after time delay TD3, again eight clock cycles, has expired. Accordingly, a TADJ capacitor of
10 nF generates typical time delays TD2 and TD3 of 9.6 ms and TD1 of from 10.8 ms to 12.0 ms.
The power-down sequence is the same as power up, but in reverse order. When the EN pin is deasserted, a
timer will begin that delays the third flag (FLAG3) from pulling low. The second and first flag will then follow in a
sequential manner after their appropriate time delays. These time delays, denoted TD4, TD5, TD6, are equal to
TD1, TD2, TD3, respectively.
For robustness, the pulldown FET associated with each flag is designed such that it can sustain a short circuit to
VCC.

7.3.2 Enable Circuit
The enable circuit is designed with an internal comparator, referenced to a bandgap voltage (1.22 V), to provide
a precision threshold. This allows the timing to be set externally using a capacitor as shown in Figure 13.
Alternatively, sequencing can be based on a certain event such as a line voltage reaching 90% of its nominal
value by employing a resistor divider from VCC to Enable.

Feature Description (continued)
If the EN pin remains high for the entire power up sequence, then the part will operate as shown in the standard
timing diagrams. However, if the EN signal is deasserted before the power-up sequence completes, the part will
enter a controlled shutdown. This allows the system to initiate a controlled power sequence, preventing any latch
conditions to occur. Figure 17 describes the flag sequence if the EN pin is deasserted after FLAG1 releases, but
before the entire power-up sequence is completed. INV is assumed low.

When EN pin is deasserted, the power down sequence will commence. A timer will begin that delays the third
flag (FLAG3) from pulling low. The second and first flag will then follow in a sequential manner after their
appropriate delays.
7.4.3 Noninverted Output Mode
When the INV pin is tied to a logic output low, the logic mode of the output flags is active high. This mode is
useful to sequence power supplies which have an active high enable input.
7.4.4 Inverted Output Mode
When the INV pin is tied to a logic output high, the logic mode of the output flags is active low. This mode is
useful to sequence power supplies which have an active low enable input.

8.2.2 Sequencing Using Independent Flag Supply
For applications requiring a flag output voltage that is different from the VCC, a separate Flag Supply may be
used to pullup the open-drain outputs of the Simple Power Sequencer. This is useful when interfacing the flag
outputs with inputs that require a different voltage than VCC. The designer must ensure the Flag Supply voltage
is within the range specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The VCC pin should be located as close as possible to the input supply (2.7V - 5.5V). An input capacitor is not
required but is recommended when noise might be present on the VCC pin. A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor may be
used to bypass this noise.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
Pullup resistors should be connected between the flag output pins and a positive input supply, usually VCC.
An independent flag supply may also be used. These resistors should be placed as close as possible to the
Simple Power Sequencer and the flag supply. Minimal trace length is recommended to make the connections.
A typical value for the pullup resistors is 100kΩ.
For very tight sequencing requirements, minimal and equal trace lengths should be used to connect the flag
outputs to the desired inputs. This will reduce any propagation delay and timing errors between the flag
outputs along the line.
10.2 Layout Example
Figure 24 and Figure 25 are layout examples for the LM3881. These examples are taken from the LM3881EVAL.
An optional component, assigned reference designator R4, is placed on the bottom side of the PCB to facilitate
connection of INV to GND.

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.

RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of
