  • Automotive grade option (vs UCD9090A)
  • Enhanced version available (vs UCD9090A)

Design Notes

Ensure the V33 pin is supplied with a clean 3.3V source. Use a 100nF decoupling capacitor close to the pin and a 10uF bulk capacitor nearby. The UCD9090's internal ADC accuracy depends on a stable reference, so avoid sharing the V33 supply with noisy digital loads.

Place the UCD9090 close to the power rails it monitors to minimize trace inductance and noise pickup. Use separate analog ground and digital ground planes, connecting them at a single point. Route PMBus lines with proper termination and keep them away from high-current switching paths.

Configure the sequencing parameters and fault thresholds via PMBus before enabling the rails. Incorrect configuration can cause improper sequencing, leading to system failures. Also, ensure that the GPIO pins used for enables are not left floating; use pull-up or pull-down resistors as needed.
