FEATURES

DESCRIPTIO
Allows Safe Board Insertion and Removal from a Live Backplane Adjustable Analog Current Limit with Circuit Breaker Fast Response Limits Peak Fault Current Automatic Retry or Latch Off On Current Fault Adjustable Supply Voltage Power-Up Rate High Side Drive for External MOSFET Switch Controls Supply Voltages from 2.7V to 7V Undervoltage Lockout Adjustable Overvoltage Protection Low Profile (1mm) SOT-23 (ThinSOTTM) Package
The LTC(R)4210-3/LTC4210-4 is a 6-pin SOT-23 Hot SwapTM controller that allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. An internal high side switch driver controls the GATE of an external N-channel MOSFET for a supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 7V. The LTC4210 provides the initial timing cycle and allows the GATE to be ramped up at an adjustable rate. The LTC4210 features a fast current limit loop providing active current limiting together with a circuit breaker timer. The signal at the ON pin turns the part on and off and is also used for the reset function. The LTC4210-3 retries on overcurrent fault and the LTC4210-4 latches off on an overcurrent fault.

TIMER (Pin 1): Timer Input Pin. An external capacitor CTIMER sets a 272.9ms/F initial timing delay and a 21.7ms/ F circuit breaker delay. The GATE pin turns off whenever the TIMER pin is pulled beyond the COMP2 threshold, such as for overvoltage detection with an external zener. GND (Pin 2): Ground Pin. ON (Pin 3): ON Input Pin. The ON pin comparator has a low-to-high threshold of 1.3V with 80mV hysteresis and a glitch filter. When the ON pin is low, the LTC4210 is reset. When the ON pin goes high, the GATE turns on after the initial timing cycle. GATE (Pin 4): GATE Output Pin. This pin is the high side gate drive of an external N-channel MOSFET. An internal charge pump provides a 10A pull-up current with Zener clamps to VCC and ground. In overload, the error amplifier (EA) controls the external MOSFET to maintain a constant load current. An external R-C compensation network should be connected to this pin for current limit loop stability. SENSE (Pin 5): Current Limit Sense Input Pin. A sense resistor between the VCC and SENSE pins sets the analog current limit. In overload, the EA controls the external MOSFET gate to maintain the SENSE pin voltage at 50mV below VCC. When the EA is maintaining current limit, the TIMER circuit breaker mode is activated. The current limit loop/circuit breaker mode can be disabled by connecting the SENSE pin to the VCC pin. VCC (Pin 6): Positive Supply Input Pin. The operating supply voltage range is between 2.7V to 7V. An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit with a glitch filter resets the LTC4210 when a low supply voltage is detected.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Hot Circuit Insertion
Overview The LTC4210-3/LTC4210-4 is designed to operate over a range of supplies from 2.7V to 7V. Upon insertion, an undervoltage lockout circuit determines if sufficient supply voltage is present. When the ON pin goes high an initial timing cycle assures that the board is fully seated in the backplane before the MOSFET is turned on. A single timer capacitor sets the periods for all of the timer functions. After the initial timing cycle the LTC4210 can either start up in current limit or with a lower load current. Once the external MOSFET is fully enhanced and the supply has ramped up, the LTC4210 monitors the load current through an external sense resistor. Overcurrent faults are actively limited to 50mV/RSENSE for a specified circuit breaker timer limit. The LTC4210-3 will automatically retry after a current limit fault while the LTC4210-4 latches off. The LTC4210-3 timer function limits the retry duty cycle to 3.8% for MOSFET cooling.

When circuit boards are inserted into live backplanes, the supply bypass capacitors can draw large transient currents from the backplane power bus as they charge. Such transient currents can cause permanent damage to connector pins, glitches on the system supply or reset other boards in the system. The LTC4210 is designed to turn a printed circuit board's supply voltage ON and OFF in a controlled manner, allowing the circuit board to be safely inserted into or removed from a live backplane. The LTC4210 can reside either on the backplane or on the daughter board for hot circuit insertion applications.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Undervoltage Lockout An internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit resets the LTC4210 if the VCC supply is too low for normal operation. The UVLO has a low-to-high threshold of 2.5V, a 100mV hysteresis and a high-to-low glitch filter of 30s. Above 2.5V supply voltage, the LTC4210 will start if the ON pin conditions are met. A short supply dip below 2.4V for less than 30s is ignored to allow for bus supply transients. ON Function The ON pin is the input to a comparator which has a lowto-high threshold of 1.3V, an 80mV hysteresis and a highto-low glitch filter of 30s. A low input on the ON pin resets the LTC4210 TIMER status and turns off the external MOSFET by pulling the GATE pin to ground. A low-to-high transition on the ON pin starts an initial cycle followed by a start-up cycle. A 10k pull-up resistor connecting the ON pin to the supply is recommended. The 10k resistor shunts any potential static charge on the backplane and reduces the overvoltage stress at the ON pin during live insertion. Alternatively, an external resistor divider at the ON pin can be used to program an undervoltage lockout value higher than the internal UVLO circuit. An RC filter can be added at the ON pin to increase the delay time at card insertion if the internal glitch filter delay is insufficient. GATE Function During hot insertion of the PCB, an abrupt application of supply voltage charges the external MOSFET drain/gate capacitance. This can cause an unwanted gate voltage spike. An internal proprietary circuit holds GATE low before the internal circuitry wakes up. This reduces the MOSFET current surges substantially at insertion. The GATE pin is held low in reset mode and during the initial timing cycle. In the start-up cycle the GATE pin is pulled up by a 10A current source. During an overcurrent fault condition, the error amplifier servoes the GATE pin to maintain a constant current to the load until the circuit breaker trips. When the circuit breaker trips, the GATE pin shuts down abruptly.

Current Limit Circuit Breaker Function The LTC4210 features a current limiting circuit breaker instead of a traditional comparator circuit breaker. When there is a sudden load current surge, such as a low impedance fault, the bus supply voltage can drop significantly to a point where the power to an adjacent card is affected, causing system malfunctions. The LTC4210 fast response error amplifier (EA) instantly limits current by reducing the external MOSFET GATE pin voltage. This minimizes the bus supply voltage drop and permits power budgeting and fault isolation without affecting neighboring cards. A compensation circuit should be connected to the GATE pin for current limit loop stability. Sense Resistor Consideration The nominal fault current limit is determined by a sense resistor connected between VCC and the SENSE pin as given by Equation 1.
ILIMIT(NOM) = VCB(NOM) RSENSE(NOM) = 50mV RSENSE(NOM)

The power rating of the sense resistor should be rated at the fault current level. For proper circuit breaker operation, Kelvin-sense PCB connections between the sense resistor and the LTC4210 VCC and SENSE pins are strongly recommended. The drawing in Figure 1 illustrates the connections between the LTC4210 and the sense resistor. PCB layout should be balanced and symmetrical to minimize wiring errors. In addition, the PCB layout for the sense resistor should include good thermal management techniques for optimal sense resistor power dissipation.

Calculating Current Limit
For a selected RSENSE, the nominal load current is given by Equation 1. The minimum load current is given by Equation 2:
ILIMIT(MIN) = VCB(MIN) RSENSE(MAX ) = 44mV RSENSE(MAX)
where
R RSENSE(MAX ) = RSENSE * 1+ TOL 100
The maximum load current is given by Equation 3:
ILIMIT(MAX ) = VCB(MAX ) RSENSE(MIN) = 56mV RSENSE(MIN)
where
R RSENSE(MIN) = RSENSE * 1- TOL 100
If a 7m sense resistor with 1% tolerance is used for current limiting, the nominal current limit is 7.14A. From Equations 2 and 3, ILIMIT(MIN) = 6.22A and ILIMIT(MAX) = 8.08A. For proper operation, the minimum current limit must exceed the circuit maximum operating load current with margin. The sense resistor power rating must exceed VCB(MAX)2/RSENSE(MIN). Frequency Compensation A compensation circuit should be connected to the GATE pin for current limit loop stability. Method 1 The simplest frequency compensation network consists of RC and CC (Figure 2a). The total GATE capacitance is: CGATE = CISS + CC (4) Generally, the compensation value in Figure 2a is sufficient for a pair of input wires less than a foot in length. Applications with longer input wires may require the RC or CC value to be increased for better fault transient performance. For a pair of three foot input wires, users can start
VIN 12V

with CC = 47nF and RC = 100. Despite the wire length, the general rule for AC stability required is CC 8nF and RC 1k. Method 2 The compensation network in Figure 2b is similar to the circuitry used in method 1 but with an additional gate resistor RG. The RG resistor helps to minimize high frequency parasitic oscillations frequently associated with the power MOSFET. In some applications, the user may find that RG helps in short-circuit transient recovery as well. However, too large of an RG value will slow down the turn-off time. The recommended RG range is between 5 and 500. RG limits the current flow into the GATE pin's internal zener clamp during transient events. The recommended RC and CC values are the same as method 1. The parasitic compensation capacitor CP is required when 0.2F < load capacitance CL < 9F, otherwise it is optional.

The second type of oscillation occurs at frequencies between 200kHz and 800kHz due to the load capacitance being between 0.2F and 9F, the presence of RG and RC resistance, the absence of a drain bypass capacitor, a combination of bus wiring inductance and bus supply output impedance. There are several ways to prevent this second type of oscillation. The simplest way is to avoid load capacitance below 10FTM, the second choice is connecting an external CP > 1.5nF. Whichever method of compensation is used, board level short-circuit testing is highly recommended as board layout can affect transient performance. Beside frequency compensation, the total gate capacitance CGATE also determines the GATE start-up as in Equation 6. The C GATE should be kept below 0.15F at high supply operation as the capacitive energy ( 0.5 * CGATE * VGATE2 ) is discharged by the LTC4210 internal pull-down transistor. This prevents the internal pull-down transistor from overheating when the GATE turns off and/or is serving during current limiting. Timer Function The TIMER pin handles several key functions with an external capacitor, CTIMER. There are two comparator thresholds: COMP1 (0.2V) and COMP2 (1.3V). The four timing current sources are: 5A pull-up 60A pull-up 2A pull-down 100A pull-down The 100A is a nonideal current source approximating a 7k resistor below 0.4V. Initial Timing Cycle When the card is being inserted into the bus connector, the long pins mate first which brings up the supply VIN at time point 1 of Figure 3.

pin is low. GATE is pulled low and the TIMER pin is pulled low with a 100A source. At time point 2, the short pin makes contact and ON is pulled high. At this instant, a start-up check requires that the supply voltage be above UVLO, the ON pin be above 1.3V and the TIMER pin voltage be less than 0.2V. When these three conditions are fulfilled, the initial cycle begins and the TIMER pin is pulled high with 5A. At time point 3, the TIMER reaches the COMP2 threshold and the first portion of the initial cycle ends. The 100A current source then pulls down the TIMER pin until it reaches 0.2V at time point 4. The initial cycle delay (time point 2 to time point 4) is related to CTIMER by equation: tINITIAL 272.9 * CTIMER ms/F (5) When the initial cycle terminates, a start-up cycle is activated and the GATE pin ramps high. The TIMER pin continues to be pulled down towards ground.

GATE ramp up. If the RSENSE current is below the current limit, the GATE ramps at a constant rate of:
VGATE IGATE = T CGATE
where CGATE is the total capacitance at the GATE pin. The current through RSENSE can be divided into two components; ICLOAD due to the total load capacitance (CLOAD) and ILOAD due to the noncapacitive load elements. The capacitive load typically dominates. For a successful start-up without current limit, IRSENSE < ILIMIT: IRSENSE = ICLOAD + ILOAD < ILIMIT
V IRSENSE = CLOAD * OUT + ILOAD < ILIMIT T
Due to the voltage follower configuration, the VOUT ramp rate approximately tracks VGATE:
VOUT ICLOAD VGATE IGATE = = T CLOAD T CGATE
At time point 6, VOUT is approximately VIN but GATE rampup continues until it reaches a maximum voltage. This maximum voltage is determined either by the charge pump or the internal clamp. Start-Up Cycle With Current Limit If the duration of the current limit is brief during start-up (Figure 4) and it did not last beyond the circuit breaker function time out, the GATE behaves the same as in startup without current limit except for the time interval between time point 5A and time point 5B. The servo amplifier limits IRSENSE by decreasing the IGATE current (<10A).
50mV IRSENSE = ILIMIT = RSENSE
Equations 7 and 8 are applicable but with a lower GATE and VOUT ramp rate.

VIN CLOAD * Circuit Breaker Timer Operation When a current limit fault is encountered at time point A in Figure 5, the circuit breaker timing is activated with a 60A pull-up. The circuit breaker trips at time point B if the fault is still present and the TIMER pin voltage reaches the COMP2 threshold and the LTC4210 shuts down. For a continuous fault, the circuit breaker delay is:

NORMALIZED RESPONSE TIME (s/F)
Intermittent overloads may exceed the current limit as in Figure 6, but if the duration is sufficiently short, the TIMER pin may not reach the COMP2 threshold and the LTC4210 will not shut down. To handle this situation, the TIMER discharges with 2A whenever (VCC - SENSE) voltage is below the 50mV limit and the TIMER voltage is between the COMP1 and COMP2 thresholds. When the TIMER voltage falls below the COMP1 threshold, the TIMER pin is discharged with an equivalent 7k resistor (normal mode, 100A source) when (VCC - SENSE) voltage is below the 50mV limit. If the TIMER pin does not drop below the COMP1 threshold, any intermittent overload with an aggregate duty cycle of more than 3.8% will eventually trip the circuit breaker. Figure 7 shows the circuit breaker response time in seconds normalized to 1F. The asymmetric charging and discharging of TIMER is a fair gauge of MOSFET heating.
When the circuit breaker trips, the GATE pin is pulled low. The TIMER enters latchoff mode with a 5A pull-up for the LTC4210-4 (latched-off version), while an autoretry "cooloff" cycle begins with a 2A pull-down for the LTC4210-3 (autoretry version). An autoretry cool-off delay of the LTC4210-3 between COMP2 and COMP1 thresholds takes:

Autoretry After Current Fault (LTC4210-3)
Figure 8 shows the waveforms of the LTC4210-3 (autoretry version) during a circuit breaker fault. At time point B1, the TIMER trips the COMP2 threshold of 1.3V. The GATE pin pulls to ground while TIMER begins a "cool-off" cycle with a 2A pull-down to the COMP1 threshold of 0.2V. At time point C1, the TIMER pin pulls down with approximately a 7k resistor to ground and a GATE start-up cycle is initiated. If the fault persists, the fault autoretry duty cycle is approximately 3.8%. Pulling the ON pin low for more than 30s will stop the autoretry function and put the LTC4210 in reset mode.

Latch-Off After Current Fault (LTC4210-4) Figure 9 shows the waveforms of the LTC4210-4 (latch-off version) during a circuit breaker fault. At time point B, the TIMER trips the COMP2 threshold. The GATE pin pulls to ground while the TIMER pin is latched high by a 5A pullup. The TIMER pin eventually reaches the soft-clamped voltage (VCLAMP) of 2.3V. To clear the latchoff mode, the user can either pull the TIMER pin to below 0.2V externally or cycle the ON pin low for more than 30s.

Normal Mode/External Timer Control Whenever the TIMER pin voltage drops below the COMP1 threshold, but is not in reset mode, the TIMER enters normal (100A source) mode with an equivalent 7k resistive pull-down. Table 1 shows the relationship of tINITIAL, tCBDELAY, tCOOLOFF vs CTIMER. If the TIMER pin is pulled beyond the COMP2 threshold, the GATE pin is pulled to ground immediately. This allows the TIMER pin to be used for overvoltage detection, see Figure 11. Externally forcing the TIMER pin below the COMP1 threshold will reset the TIMER to normal mode. During overvoltage detection, the TIMER's 100A pull-down current will continue to be on if (VCC - SENSE) voltage is below 50mV. If the (VCC - SENSE) voltage exceeds 50mV during the overvoltage detection, the TIMER current will be the same as described for latched-off or autoretry mode. See the section OVERVOLTAGE DETECTION USING TIMER PIN for details of the application.

Power-Off Cycle The system can be reset by toggling the ON pin low for more than 30s as shown at time point 7 of Figure 3. The GATE pin is pulled to ground. The TIMER capacitor is also discharged to ground. CLOAD discharges through the load. Alternatively, the TIMER pin can be externally driven above the COMP2 threshold to turn off the GATE pin. POWER MOSFET SELECTION Power MOSFETs can be classified by RDSON at VGS gate drive ratings of 10V, 4.5V, 2.5V and 1.8V. Use the typical curves VGATE vs Supply Voltage and VGATE vs Temperature to determine whether the gate drive voltage is adequate for the selected MOSFET at the operating voltage. In addition, the selected MOSFET should fulfill two VGS criteria: 1. Positive VGS absolute maximum rating > LTC4210-3/ LTC4210-4 maximum VGATE, and 2. Negative VGS absolute maximum rating > supply voltage. The gate of the MOSFET can discharge faster than VOUT when shutting down the MOSFET with a large CLOAD.

If one of the conditions cannot be met, an external Zener clamp shown on Figure 10a or Figure 10b can be used. The selection of RG should be within the allowed LTC4210 package dissipation when discharging VOUT via the Zener clamp. In addition to the MOSFET gate drive rating and VGS absolute maximum rating, other criteria such as VBDSS, ID(MAX), RDS(ON), PD, JA, TJ(MAX) and maximum safe operating area should also be carefully reviewed. VBDSS should exceed the maximum supply voltage inclusive of spikes and ringing. ID(MAX) should be greater than the current limit, ILIMIT. RDS(ON) determines the MOSFET VDS which together with VCB yields an error in the VOUT voltage. At 2.7V supply voltage, the total of VDS + VCB of 0.1V yields 3.7% VOUT error. The maximum power dissipated in the MOSFET is ILIMIT2 * RDS(ON) and this should be less than the maximum power dissipation, PD allowed in that package. Given power dissipation, the MOSFET junction temperature, TJ can be computed from the operating temperature (TA) and the MOSFET package thermal resistance (JA). The operating TJ should be less than the TJ(MAX) specification. Next review the short-circuit condition under maximum supply VIN(MAX) conditions and maximum current limit, ILIMIT(MAX) during the circuit breaker time-out interval of tCBDELAY with the maximum safe operating area of the MOSFET. The operation during output short-circuit conditions must be well within the manufacturer's recommended safe operating region with sufficient margin. To ensure a reliable design, fault tests should be evaluated in the laboratory. VIN TRANSIENT PROTECTION Unlike most circuits, Hot Swap controllers typically are not allowed the good engineering practice of supply bypass capacitors, since controlling the surge current to bypass capacitors at plug-in is the primary motivation for the Hot Swap controller. Although wire harness, backplane and PCB trace inductances are usually small, these can create spikes when currents are suddenly drawn, cutoff or limited. The transient associated with the GATE turn

off can be controlled with a snubber and/or transient voltage suppressor. RC snubber networks are effective for LTC4210-3/LTC4210-4 applications. The choice of RC is usually determined experimentally. The value of the snubber capacitor is usually chosen between 10 to 100 times the MOSFET COSS. The value of the snubber resistor is typically between 3 to 100. A snubber network is normally sufficient to protect against transient voltages. However, when input wires are long or EMI beads exist in the wire harness, a transient suppressor should be used in conjuction with the snubber to clip off voltage spikes and reduce ringing. In many cases, a simple short-circuit
