Power Supply Sequencing

DESIGN PHASE:       analysis
SUB ELEMENT NAME:   power supply sequencing
VARIABLE NAME:      [HEAPS]
DATE:               REVISION LETTER:    REVISION DATE:   
APPLICABILITY:      all circuits

ACTIVITY:  Sequence power supplies and verify no over stress
conditions or failures.  Assumes use of Spice.

OUTPUT:  Verification that circuit is not damaged be abnormal
power supply sequencing.

ALGORITHM:

[HEAPS] =           engineer hours for power supply sequencing analysis
0.0*                time per part for analysis and evaluation
[INPUT COUNT]*      number of power supplies sequence combinations
[INPUT COUNT]
