# rail

## Description

A voltage rail that is enabled or monitored by the power sequencer device.

The "check_status_vout", "compare_voltage_to_limits", and "gpio" properties
specify how to obtain the pgood status of the rail. You can specify more than
one of these properties if necessary.

## Properties

| Name                      |      Required       | Type                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| :------------------------ | :-----------------: | :---------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| name                      |         yes         | string                  | Unique name for the rail. Can only contain letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), period (.), and underscore (\_).                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| presence                  |         no          | string                  | D-Bus inventory path of a system component which must be present in order for the rail to be present. If this property is not specified, the rail is assumed to always be present.                                                                                                                                      |
| page                      | see [notes](#notes) | number                  | PMBus PAGE number of the rail.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| check_status_vout         |         no          | boolean (true or false) | If true, determine the pgood status of the rail by checking the value of the PMBus STATUS_VOUT command. If one of the error bits is set, the rail pgood will be considered false. The default value of this property is false.                                                                                          |
| compare_voltage_to_limits |         no          | boolean (true or false) | If true, determine the pgood status of the rail by comparing the output voltage (READ_VOUT) to the undervoltage (VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT) and overvoltage (VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT) limits. If the output voltage is beyond those limits, the rail pgood will be considered false. The default value of this property is false. |
| gpio                      |         no          | [gpio](gpio.md)         | Determine the pgood status of the rail by reading a GPIO.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

### Notes

- The "page" property is required if the "check_status_vout" or
  "compare_voltage_to_limits" property is true.
