LT4256-1/LT4256-2 Positive High Voltage Hot Swap Controllers FEATURES s s s s s s s s s s DESCRIPTIO Allows Safe Board Insertion and Removal from a Live Backplane Controls Supply Voltage from 10.8V to 80V Foldback Current Limiting Overcurrent Fault Detection Drives an External N-Channel MOSFET Programmable Supply Voltage Power-Up Rate Undervoltage Protection Latch Off Operation Mode (LT4256-1) Automatic Retry (LT4256-2) Available in an 8-Pin SO Package The LT(R)4256-1/LT4256-2 are high voltage Hot Swap controllers that allow a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. An internal driver drives an external N-channel MOSFET switch to control supply voltages ranging from 10.8V to 80V. The LT4256-1/LT4256-2 features an adjustable analog foldback current limit. If the supply remains in current limit for more than a programmable time, the N-channel MOSFET shuts off and the PWRGD output asserts low. The LT4256-2 automatically restarts after a time-out delay. The LT4256-1 latches off until the UV pin is cycled low. The PWRGD output indicates when the output voltage rises above a programmed level. An external resistor string from VCC provides programmable undervoltage protection. The LT4256 can be used as an upgrade to LT1641 designs. See Table 1 on page 14 for upgraded specifications. The LT4256-1 and LT4256-2 are available in an 8-pin SO package that is pin compatible with the LT1641. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

UV is an input that enables the output voltage. When UV is driven above 4V, GATE will start charging and the output turns on. When UV goes below 3.6V, GATE discharges and the output shuts off. Pulsing UV low for a minimum of 5s after a current limit fault cycle resets the fault latch (LT4256-1) and allows the part to turn back on. This command is only accepted after TIMER has discharged below 0.65V. To disable UV sensing, connect UV to a voltage beween 5V and 44V. FB (Pin 2): Power Good Comparator Input. FB monitors the output voltage through an external resistive divider. When the voltage on FB is lower than the high-to-low threshold of 4V, PWRGD is pulled low and released when FB is pulled above the 4.45V low-to-high threshold. The voltage present on FB affects foldback current limit (see Figure 7 and related discussion). PWRGD (Pin 3): Power Good Output. PWRGD is pulled low whenever the voltage on FB falls below the 4V high-tolow threshold voltage. It goes into a high impedance state when the voltage on FB exceeds the low-to-high threshold voltage. An external pull-up resistor can pull PWRGD to a voltage higher or lower than VCC. GND (Pin 4): Device Ground. This pin must be tied to a ground plane for best performance. TIMER (Pin 5): Timing Input. An external timing capacitor from TIMER to GND programs the maximum time the part is allowed to remain in current limit. When the part goes into current limit, a 115A pull-up current source starts to charge the timing capacitor. When the voltage on TIMER reaches 4.65V (typ), GATE pulls low; the TIMER pull-up current will be turned off and the capacitor is discharged by a 3A pull-down current. When TIMER falls below 0.65V (typ), GATE turns on again for the LT4256-2. UV must be cycled low after TIMER has discharged below 0.65V (typ) to reset the LT4256-1. If UV is not cycled low (LT4256-1), GATE remains latched off and TIMER is discharged to near GND. Under an output short-circuit condition, the LT4256-2 cycles on and off with a 3% duty cycle. GATE (Pin 6): High Side Gate Drive for the External NChannel MOSFET. An internal charge pump guarantees at least 10V of gate drive for VCC supply voltages above 20V and 4.5V of gate drive for VCC supply voltages between 10.8V and 20V. The rising slope of the voltage on GATE is set by an external capacitor connected from GATE to GND and an internal 30A pull-up current source from the charge pump output. If the current limit is reached, the GATE voltage is adjusted to maintain a constant voltage across the sense resistor while the timing capacitor starts to charge. If the TIMER voltage ever exceeds 4.65V, GATE is pulled low. GATE is also pulled to GND whenever UV is pulled low, the VCC supply voltage drops below the externally programmed undervoltage threshold, or VCC drops below the internal UVLO threshold (9.8V). GATE is clamped internally to a maximum voltage of 11.6V (typ) above VCC under normal operating conditions. Driving this pin beyond the clamp voltage may damage the part. A Zener diode is needed between the gate and source of the external MOSFET to protect its gate oxide under instantaneous short-circuit conditions. See Applications Information. SENSE (Pin 7): Current Limit Sense Input. A sense resistor is placed in the supply path between VCC and SENSE. The current limit circuit regulates the voltage across the sense resistor (VCC - SENSE) to 55mV while in current limit when FB is 2V or higher. If FB drops below 2V, the regulated voltage across the sense resistor decreases linearly to 14mV when FB is 0V. To defeat current limit, connect SENSE to VCC. VCC (Pin 8): Input Supply Voltage. The positive supply input ranges from 10.8V to 80V for normal operation. ICC is typically 1.8mA. An internal circuit disables the LT4256-1/LT4256-2 for inputs less than 9.8V (typ). 6 U U U 425612f LT4256-1/LT4256-2 BLOCK DIAGRA W SENSE 7 VP VP GEN FB 2 VCC 8 - 14mV ~ 55mV CURRENT LIMIT + + FOLDBACK REF GEN 4V 2V CHARGE PUMP AND GATE DRIVER 6 GATE - 4V + 3 PWRGD - UV 1 VCC - INTERNAL UV 9.8V + 4V - UV LOGIC 0.65V + TIMER LOW + VP 118A - + TIMER HIGH 4.65V - 5 TIMER 3A 4 GND 4256 BD 425612f 7 LT4256-1/LT4256-2 TEST CIRCUIT 48k PWRGD FB VCC SENSE GATE UV TIMER GND 48V +- 100pF 4256 F01 Figure 1 TI I G DIAGRA S 4V UV tPLHUV 3.6V tPHLUV GATE 2V Figure 2. UV to GATE Timing APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Hot Circuit Insertion When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, the supply bypass capacitors on the boards draw high peak currents from the backplane power bus as they charge. The transient currents can permanently damage the connector pins and glitch the system supply, causing other boards in the system to reset. The LT4256-1/LT4256-2 are designed to turn on a board's supply voltage in a controlled manner, allowing the board to be safely inserted or removed from a live backplane.

SENSE to GATE Timing device also provides undervoltage as well as overcurrent protection while a power good output signal indicates when the output supply voltage is ready with a high output. Power-Up Sequence An external N-channel MOSFET pass transistor (Q1) is placed in the power path to control the power up of the supply voltage (Figure 5). Resistor R5 provides current detection and capacitor C1 controls the GATE slew rate. Resistor R7 compensates the current control loop while R6 prevents high frequency oscillations in Q1. 425612f LT4256-1/LT4256-2 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO VIN 48V D2 SMAT70A (SHORT PIN) R1 64.9k 1 C3 0.1F R2 8.06k 5 GND C2 33nF Figure 5. 1600mA, 48V Application When the power pins first make contact, transistor Q1 is held off. If the voltage on VCC is above the externally programmed undervoltage threshold, VCC is above 9.8V, and the voltage on TIMER is less than 4.65V (typ), transistor Q1 will be turned on (Figure 6). The voltage on GATE rises with a slope equal to 30A/C1 and the supply inrush current is set at: IINRUSH = CL * 30A/C1 where CL is the total load capacitance. To reduce inrush current, increase C1 or decrease load capacitance. If the voltage across the current sense resistor R5 reaches VSENSETRIP, the inrush current will be limited by the internal current limit circuitry. The voltage on GATE is adjusted to maintain a constant voltage across the sense resistor and TIMER begins to charge. When the FB voltage goes above the low-to-high VFB threshold, PWRGD goes high. Undervoltage Detection The LT4256-1/LT4256-2 uses UV to monitor the VCC voltage to determine when it is safe to turn on the load and allow the user the greatest flexibility for setting the threshold. Any time that UV goes below 3.6V, GATE will be pulled low until UV goes above 4V again. The UV threshold should never be set below the internal UVLO threshold (9.8V typically) because the benefit of UV's hysteresis will be lost, making the LT4256-1/ (1) U R5 0.025 Q1 IRF530 D1 CMPZ5241B 11V 6 R6 10 R7 100 C1 10nF R9 4.02k TIMER PWRGD GND 4 3 4256 F05 W U U + CL R8 36.5k R4 27k VOUT 48V 1.6A 8 VCC UV 7 SENSE GATE LT4256-1/ LT4256-2 FB 2 PWRGD UV = 36V PWRGD = 40V IOUT 500mA/DIV PWRGD 20V/DIV VOUT 20V/DIV GATE 20V/DIV 2.5ms/DIV 4256 F06 Figure 6. Start-Up Waveforms LT4256-2 more susceptible to noise (VCC must be at least 9.8V when UV is at its 3.6V threshold). UV is filtered with C3 to prevent noise spikes and capacitively coupled glitches from shutting down the LT4256-1/LT4256-2 output erroneously. To calculate the UV threshold, use the following equations: V R1 = R2 THUVLH - 1 4V 20k R1 + R2 200k R1 VTHUVLH = 3.6 1 + R2 (2) (3) (4) where VTHUVLH is the desired UV threshold voltage when VCC is rising (L-H), etc. 425612f 9 LT4256-1/LT4256-2 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO VCC - VSENSE 55mV RESPONSE TIME (s) 0V 2V FB 4256 F07 14mV Figure 7. Current Limit Sense Voltage vs Feedback Pin Voltage Figure 11 shows how the LT4256-1/LT4256-2 are commanded to shut off with a logic signal. This is accomplished by pulling the gate of the open-drain MOSFET, Q2, (tied to the UV pin) high. Short-Circuit Protection The LT4256-1/LT4256-2 features a programmable foldback current limit with an electronic circuit breaker that protects against short circuits or excessive load currents. The current limit is set by placing a sense resistor (R5) between VCC and SENSE. The current limit threshold is calculated as: ILIMIT = 55mV/R5 where R5 is the sense resistor. To limit excessive power dissipation in the pass transistor and to reduce voltage spikes on the input supply during short-circuit conditions at the output, the current folds back as a function of the output voltage, which is sensed internally on FB. If the LT4256-1/LT4256-2 go into current limit when the voltage on FB is 0V, the current limit circuit drives the GATE pin to force a constant 14mV drop across the sense resistor. As the output at FB increases, the voltage across the sense resistor increases until the FB pin reaches 2V, at which point the voltage across the sense resistor is held constant at 55mV (see Figure 7). (5) 10 U 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 50 100 150 VCC - VSENSE (mV) 200 4256 F08 W U U Figure 8. Response Time to Overcurrent For a 0.025 sense resistor, the current limit is set at 2200mA and folds back to 560mA when the output is shorted to ground. Thus, MOSFET peak power dissipation under short-circuit conditions is reduced from 105.6W to 26.5W. See the Layout Considerations section for important information about board layout to minimize current limit threshold error. The LT4256-1/LT4256-2 also features a variable overcurrent response time. The time required for the part to regulate the GATE voltage is a function of the voltage across the sense resistor connected between VCC and SENSE. This helps to eliminate sensitivity to current spikes and transients that might otherwise unnecessarily trigger a current limit response and increase MOSFET dissipation. Figure 8 shows the response time as a function of the overdrive at SENSE. TIMER TIMER provides a method for programming the maximum time the part is allowed to operate in current limit. When the current limit circuitry is not active, the TIMER pin is pulled to GND by a 3A current source. When the current limit circuitry becomes active, a 118A pull-up current source is connected to TIMER and the voltage will rise with a slope equal to 115A/CTIMER as long as the circuitry stays active. Once the desired maximum current limit time is known, the capacitor value is: C[nF] = 25 * t[ms]; C = 115A *t 4.65V (6) 425612f LT4256-1/LT4256-2 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO IOUT 500mA/DIV TIMER 5V/DIV VOUT 50V/DIV GATE 50V/DIV 10ms/DIV 4256 F09 Figure 9. LT4256-1 Current Limit Waveforms When the TIMER pin reaches 4.65V (typ), the internal fault latch is set causing GATE to be pulled low and TIMER to be discharged to GND by the 3A current source. The part is not allowed to turn on again until the voltage on TIMER falls below 0.65V (typ). TIMER must never be pulled high by a low impedance because whenever TIMER rises above the upper threshold (typically 4.65V) the pin characteristics change from a high impedance current source to a low impedance. Whenever GATE is commanded off by any fault condition, it is discharged rapidly, turning off the external MOSFET. The waveform in Figure 9 shows how the output latches off following a current fault (LT4256-1). The drop across the sense resistor is held at 55mV as the timer ramps up. Once TIMER reaches its shutdown threshold (4.65V typically), the circuit latches off. The LT4256-1 latches off after a current limit fault. After the LT4256-1 latches off, the part may be commanded to U IOUT 500mA/DIV TIMER 5V/DIV VOUT 50V/DIV GATE 50V/DIV 10ms/DIV 4256 F10 W U U Figure 10. LT4256-2 Current Limit Waveforms start back up. This is accomplished by cycling UV to ground and then back high (this command can only be accepted after TIMER discharges back below the 0.65V typical threshold, to prevent overheating transistor Q1). Automatic Restart The LT4256-2 will automatically restart after an overcurrent fault. These waveforms are shown in Figure 10. The LT4256-2 functionality is as follows: When an overcurrent condition occurs, the GATE pin is servoed to maintain a constant voltage across the sense resistor, and the capacitor C2 at the TIMER pin will begin to charge. When the voltage at the TIMER pin reaches 4.65V (typ), the GATE pin is pulled low. When the voltage at the TIMER pin ramps back down to 0.65V (typ), the LT4256-2 turns on again. If the short-circuit condition at the output still exists, the cycle will repeat itself indefinitely. The duty cycle under short-circuit conditions is 3% which prevents Q1 from overheating. 425612f 11 LT4256-1/LT4256-2 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO VIN 48V (SHORT PIN) D2 SMAT70A 8 R1 64.9k 1 VCC UV 7 SENSE GATE LT4256-1/ LT4256-2 6 R6 10 R7 100 C1 10nF FB 5 TIMER PWRGD GND 4 2 3 OFF SIGNAL FROM MPU VN2222 C3 Q2 0.01F GND Figure 11.

Active Low Enable PWRGD Application Power Good Detection The LT4256-1/LT4256-2 includes a comparator for monitoring the output voltage. The output voltage is sensed through the FB pin via an external resistor string. The comparator's output (PWRGD) is an open collector capable of operating from a pull-up as high as 80V. PWRGD can be used to directly enable/disable a power module with an active high enable input. Figure 12 shows how to use PWRGD to control an active low enable input power module. Signal inversion is accomplished by transistor Q2 and R10. 12 U R5 0.010 Q1 IRF530 D1 CMPZ5241B 11V R8 36.5k VOUT 48V 4A CL R2 8.06k R9 4.02k R4 51k C2 33nF 4256 F07 W U U UV = 36V PWRGD = 40V VOUT CL VLOGIC R10 27k 8 VCC 7 SENSE GATE LT4256-1/ LT4256-2 FB 2 R8 36.5k PWRGD R4 27k Q2 2N3904 The thresholds for the FB pin are 4.45V (low to high) and 4V (high to low).

However, voltage transients above 100V may cause permanent damage. During a short-circuit condition, the large change in currents flowing through the power supply traces can cause inductive voltage transients which could exceed 100V. To minimize the voltage transients, the power trace parasitic inductance should be minimized by using wider traces or heavier trace plating and a 0.1F bypass capacitor should be placed between VCC and GND. A surge suppressor, as shown in the application diagrams, (Transzorb) at the input can also prevent damage from voltage transients. GATE Pin A curve of gate drive vs VCC is shown in Figure 13. GATE is clamped to a maximum voltage of 12.8V above VCC. This clamp is designed to sink the internal charge pump current. An external Zener diode must be used as shown in all applications. At a minimum input supply voltage of 12V, the minimum gate drive voltage is 4.5V. When the input supply voltage is higher than 20V, the gate drive voltage is at least 10V and a standard threshold MOSFET can be used. In applications from 12V to 15V range, a logic level MOSFET must be used. In some applications it may be possible for the VOUT pin to ring below ground (due to the parasitic trace inductance). 12 11 10 VGATE (V) 9 8 7 6 5 10 20 30 40 50 VCC (V) 60 70 80 4256 F13 Figure 13. VGATE vs VCC 425612f U Higher current applications, especially where the output load is physically far away from the LT4256-1/LT4256-2 will be more susceptible to these transients. This is normal and the LT4256-1/LT4256-2 have been designed to allow for some ringing below ground. However, if the application is such that VOUT can ring more than 10V below ground, damage may occur to the LT4256-1 and an external diode from ground (anode) to VOUT (cathode) must be added to the circuit as shown in Figure 14 (it is critical that the reverse breakdown voltage of the diode be higher than the highest expected VCC voltage). A capacitor placed from ground to VOUT directly at the LT4256-1/ LT4256-2 can help reduce the amount of ringing on VOUT but it may not be enough for some applications. During a fault condition, the LT4256-1/LT4256-2 pulls down on GATE with a switch capable of sinking about 60mA. Once GATE drops below the output voltage by a diode forward voltage, the external Zener will forward bias and VOUT will also be discharged to GND. In addition to the GATE capacitance, the output capacitance will be discharged through the LT4256-1/LT4256-2. In applications utilizing very large external N-channel MOSFETs, the possibility exists for the MOSFET to turn on when initially inserted into a live backplane (before the LT4256-1/LT4256-2 becomes active and pulls down on GATE). This is due to the drain to gate capacitance forcing current into R7 and C1 when the drain voltage steps up from ground to VIN with an extremely fast rise time. To alleviate this situation, a diode, D3, should be put across R7 with the cathode connected to C1 as shown in Figure 15.

Negative Output Voltage Protection Diode Application Notes on Using the LT4256 in LT1641 Applications Even though the LT4256 and LT1641 have the same pinout, several changes were made to improve overall system accuracy and increase noise immunity. These changes are spelled out in Table 1 and must be accounted for if using the LT4256 in an LT1641 application. Layout Considerations To achieve accurate current sensing, a Kelvin connection to the current sense resistor (R5 in typical application Table 1.

The minimum trace width for 1oz copper foil is 0.02" per amp to make sure the trace stays at a reasonable temperature. 0.03" per amp or wider is recommended. Note that 1oz copper exhibits a sheet resistance of about 530/ . Small resistances can cause large errors in high current applications. Noise immunity will be improved significantly by locating resistor dividers close to the pins with short VCC and GND traces. A 0.1F decoupling capacitor from UV to GND is also required.
