    The power sequence is often implemented in a cascaded way. What is wrong with this approach?

    Answer

    1 It is difficult to synchronize the power supply on the whole PCB without violating the E-power and power-off sequences of each component.Therefore, this requires the use of Resistorss and capacitors in the design to delay the power-up of a given power supply.

    2 Designers have to use a lot of off-the-shelf circuits to monitor all the power supplies on the board, and to generate final monitoring signals such as power-down interrupts, power-on resets, and additional logic gates.

    3 Today, there is very little focus on the processing of power-off sequences.

    4 It is very difficult to implement power management that can be extended to a card.
