NSC LM5069

LM5069
Positive High Voltage Hot Swap / Inrush Current
Controller with Power Limiting
General Description
The LM5069 positive hot swap controller provides intelligent
control of the power supply connections during insertion and
removal of circuit cards from a live system backplane or
other "hot" power sources. The LM5069 provides in-rush
current control to limit system voltage droop and transients.
The current limit and power dissipation in the external series
pass N-Channel MOSFET are programmable, ensuring operation within the Safe Operating Area (SOA). The POWER
GOOD output indicates when the output voltage is within
1.25V of the input voltage. The input under-voltage and
over-voltage lockout levels and hysteresis are programmable, as well as the initial insertion delay time and fault
detection time. The LM5069-1 latches off after a fault detection, while the LM5069-2 automatically restarts at a fixed
duty cycle. The LM5069 is available in a 10 pin MSOP
package.

A small ceramic bypass capacitor close to this pin is recommended to
suppress transients which occur when the load current is switched off.

UVLO
Under-voltage lockout
An external resistor divider from the system input voltage sets the
under-voltage turn-on threshold. An internal 21 µA current source provides
hysteresis. The enable threshold at the pin is 2.5V. This pin can also be used
for remote shutdown control.

Note 4: For detailed information on soldering plastic MSOP packages refer to the Packaging Databook available from National Semiconductor Corporation.
Note 5: The GATE pin voltage is typically 12V above VIN when the LM5069 is enabled. Therefore the Absolute Maximum Ratings for VIN (100V) applies only when
the LM5069 is disabled, or for a momentary surge to that voltage since the Absolute Maximum Rating for the GATE pin is also 100V.

mable current limit, the LM5069 monitors and limits the
maximum power dissipation in the series pass device to
maintain operation within the device Safe Operating Area
(SOA). Either current limiting or power limiting for an extended period of time results in the shutdown of the series
pass device. In this event, the LM5069-1 latches off until the
circuit is re-enabled by external control, while the LM5069-2
automatically restarts with defined timing. The circuit breaker
function quickly switches off the series pass device upon
detection of a severe over-current condition. The Power
Functional Description
The LM5069 is designed to control the in-rush current to the
load upon insertion of a circuit card into a live backplane or
other "hot" power source, thereby limiting the voltage sag on
the backplane’s supply voltage, and the dV/dt of the voltage
applied to the load. Effects on other circuits in the system are
minimized, preventing possible unintended resets. A controlled shutdown when the circuit card is removed can also
be implemented using the LM5069. In addition to a program9

above the UVLO threshold at the end of the insertion time,
Q1 switches on at that time. The GATE pin charge pump
sources 16 µA to charge Q1’s gate capacitance. The maximum gate-to-source voltage of Q1 is limited by an internal
12V zener diode.
As the voltage at the OUT pin increases, the LM5069 monitors the drain current and power dissipation of MOSFET Q1.
In-rush current limiting and/or power limiting circuits actively
control the current delivered to the load. During the in-rush
limiting interval (t2 in Figure 3) an internal 85 µA fault timer
current source charges CT. If Q1’s power dissipation and the
input current reduce below their respective limiting thresholds before the TIMER pin reaches 4.0V the 85 µA current
source is switched off, and CT is discharged by the internal
2.5 µA current sink (t3 in Figure 3). The in-rush limiting
interval is complete when the voltage at the OUT pin increases to within 1.25V of the input voltage (VSYS), and the
PGD pin switches high.
If the TIMER pin voltage reaches 4.0V before in-rush current
limiting or power limiting ceases (during t2), a fault is declared and Q1 is turned off. See the Fault Timer & Restart
section for a complete description of the fault mode.
Power Up Sequence
The VIN operating range of the LM5069 is +9V to +80V, with
a transient capability to +100V. Referring to the Block Diagram and Figures 1 and 3, as the voltage at VIN initially
increases, the external N-channel MOSFET (Q1) is held off
by an internal 230 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin.
The strong pull-down current at the GATE pin prevents an
inadvertent turn-on as the MOSFET’s gate-to-drain (Miller)
capacitance is charged. Additionally, the TIMER pin is initially held at ground. When the VIN voltage reaches the
PORIT threshold (7.6V) the insertion time begins. During the
insertion time, the capacitor at the TIMER pin (CT) is charged
by a 5.5 µA current source, and Q1 is held off by a 2 mA
pull-down current at the GATE pin regardless of the VIN
voltage. The insertion time delay allows ringing and transients at VIN to settle before Q1 can be enabled. The
insertion time ends when the TIMER pin voltage reaches
4.0V. CT is then quickly discharged by an internal 1.5 mA
pull-down current. After the insertion time, the LM5069 control circuitry is enabled when VIN reaches the POREN threshold (8.8V). The GATE pin then switches on Q1 when VSYS
exceeds the UVLO threshold (UVLO pin > 2.5V). If VSYS is

LM5069
Power Up Sequence
(Continued)
20197213
FIGURE 3. Power Up Sequence (Current Limit only)
Following the insertion time, during t2 in Figure 3, the gate
voltage of Q1 is modulated to keep the current or power
dissipation level from exceeding the programmed levels.
While in the current or power limiting mode the TIMER pin
capacitor is charging. If the current and power limiting cease
before the TIMER pin reaches 4V the TIMER pin capacitor
then discharges, and the circuit enters normal operation.
If the in-rush limiting condition persists such that the TIMER
pin reached 4V during t2, the GATE pin is then pulled low by
the 2 mA pull-down current. The GATE pin is then held low
until either a power up sequence is initiated (LM5069-1), or
until the end of the restart sequence (LM5069-2). See the
Fault Timer & Restart section.
If the system input voltage falls below the UVLO threshold,
or rises above the OVLO threshold, the GATE pin is pulled
low by the 2 mA pull-down current to switch off Q1.
Gate Control
A charge pump provides internal bias voltage above the
output voltage (OUT pin) to enhance the N-Channel MOSFET’s gate. The gate-to-source voltage is limited by an
internal 12V zener diode. During normal operating conditions
(t3 in Figure 3) the gate of Q1 is held charged by an internal
16 µA current source to approximately 12V above OUT. If the
maximum VGS rating of Q1 is less than 12V, a lower voltage
external zener diode must be added between the GATE and
OUT pins. The external zener diode must have a forward
current rating of at least 250 mA.
When the system voltage is initially applied, the GATE pin is
held low by a 230 mA pull-down current. This helps prevent
an inadvertent turn-on of the MOSFET through its drain-gate
capacitance as the applied system voltage increases.
During the insertion time (t1 in Figure 3) the GATE pin is held
low by a 2 mA pull-down current. This maintains Q1 in the
off-state until the end of t1, regardless of the voltage at VIN
or UVLO.

sipation in Q1 by monitoring its drain-source voltage
(SENSE to OUT), and the drain current through the sense
resistor (VIN to SENSE). The product of the current and
voltage is compared to the power limit threshold programmed by the resistor at the PWR pin. If the power
dissipation reaches the limiting threshold, the GATE voltage
is modulated to reduce the current in Q1. While the power
limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is active as described
in the Fault Timer & Restart section.
Current Limit
The current limit threshold is reached when the voltage
across the sense resistor RS (VIN to SENSE) reaches 55
mV. In the current limiting condition, the GATE voltage is
controlled to limit the current in MOSFET Q1. While the
current limit circuit is active, the fault timer is active as
described in the Fault Timer & Restart section. If the load
current falls below the current limit threshold before the end
of the Fault Timeout Period, the LM5069 resumes normal
operation. For proper operation, the RS resistor value should
be no larger than 100 mΩ.
Fault Timer & Restart
When the current limit or power limit threshold is reached
during turn-on or as a result of a fault condition, the gate-tosource voltage of Q1 is modulated to regulate the load
current and power dissipation. When either limiting function
is activated, an 85 µA fault timer current source charges the
external capacitor (CT) at the TIMER pin as shown in Figure
6 (Fault Timeout Period). If the fault condition subsides
during the Fault Timeout Period before the TIMER pin
reaches 4.0V, the LM5069 returns to the normal operating
mode and CT is discharged by the 2.5 µA current sink. If the
TIMER pin reaches 4.0V during the Fault Timeout Period,
Q1 is switched off by a 2 mA pull-down current at the GATE
pin. The subsequent restart procedure then depends on
which version of the LM5069 is in use.
The LM5069-1 latches the GATE pin low at the end of the
Fault Timeout Period. CT is then discharged to ground by the
2.5 µA fault current sink. The GATE pin is held low by the 2
mA pull-down current until a power up sequence is externally
initiated by cycling the input voltage (VSYS), or momentarily
pulling the UVLO pin below 2.5V with an open-collector or
open-drain device as shown in Figure 5. The voltage at the
TIMER pin must be < 0.3V for the restart procedure to be
effective.
Circuit Breaker
If the load current increases rapidly (e.g., the load is shortcircuited) the current in the sense resistor (RS) may exceed
the current limit threshold before the current limit control loop
is able to respond. If the current exceeds twice the current
limit threshold (105 mV/RS), Q1 is quickly switched off by the
230 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin, and a Fault
Timeout Period begins. When the voltage across RS falls
below 105 mV the 230 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin
is switched off, and the gate voltage of Q1 is then determined by the current limit or the power limit functions. If the
TIMER pin reaches 4.0V before the current limiting or power
limiting condition ceases, Q1 is switched off by the 2 mA
pull-down current at the GATE pin as described in the Fault
Timer & Restart section.
Power Limit
An important feature of the LM5069 is the MOSFET power
limiting. The Power Limit function can be used to maintain
the maximum power dissipation of MOSFET Q1 within the
device SOA rating. The LM5069 determines the power dis-

the value of the capacitor CT. When the TIMER pin reaches
0.3V during the eighth high-to-low ramp, the 16 µA current
source at the GATE pin turns on Q1. If the fault condition is
still present, the Fault Timeout Period and the restart cycle
repeat.
The LM5069-2 provides an automatic restart sequence
which consists of the TIMER pin cycling between 4.0V and
1.25V seven times after the Fault Timeout Period, as shown
in Figure 6. The period of each cycle is determined by the 85
µA charging current, and the 2.5 µA discharge current, and
20197216
FIGURE 6. Restart Sequence (LM5069-2)
Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
Over-Voltage Lock-Out (OVLO)
The series pass MOSFET (Q1) is enabled when the input
supply voltage (VSYS) is within the operating range defined
by the programmable under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and
over-voltage lock-out (OVLO) levels. Typically the UVLO
level at VSYS is set with a resistor divider (R1-R3) as shown
in Figure 1. When VSYS is below the UVLO level, the internal
21 µA current source at UVLO is enabled, the current source
at OVLO is off, and Q1 is held off by the 2 mA pull-down
current at the GATE pin. As VSYS is increased, raising the
voltage at UVLO above 2.5V, the 21 µA current source at
UVLO is switched off, increasing the voltage at UVLO, providing hysteresis for this threshold. With the UVLO pin above
2.5V, Q1 is switched on by the 16 µA current source at the
GATE pin if the insertion time delay has expired (Figure 3).
See the Applications Section for a procedure to calculate the
values of the threshold setting resistors (R1-R3). The minimum possible UVLO level at VSYS can be set by connecting
the UVLO pin to VIN. In this case Q1 is enabled when the
VIN voltage reaches the POREN threshold.
The series pass MOSFET (Q1) is enabled when the input
supply voltage (VSYS) is within the operating range defined
by the programmable under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and
over-voltage lock-out (OVLO) levels. If VSYS raises the
OVLO pin voltage above 2.5V Q1 is switched off by the 2 mA
pull-down current at the GATE pin, denying power to the
load. When the OVLO pin is above 2.5V, the internal 21 µA
current source at OVLO is switched on, raising the voltage at
OVLO to provide threshold hysteresis. When VSYS is reduced below the OVLO level Q1 is enabled. See the Applications Section for a procedure to calculate the threshold
setting resistor values.
Shutdown Control
The load current can be remotely switched off by taking the
UVLO pin below its 2.5V threshold with an open collector or

open drain device, as shown in Figure 7. Upon releasing the
UVLO pin the LM5069 switches on the load current with
in-rush current and power limiting.
CURRENT LIMIT, RS
The LM5069 monitors the current in the external MOSFET
(Q1) by measuring the voltage across the sense resistor
(RS), connected from VIN to SENSE. The required resistor
value is calculated from:
(1)
where ILIM is the desired current limit threshold. If the voltage
across RS reaches 55 mV, the current limit circuit modulates
the gate of Q1 to regulate the current at ILIM. While the
current limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is active as
described in the Fault Timer & Restart section. For proper
operation, RS must be no larger than 100 mΩ.
20197217
FIGURE 7. Shutdown Control
While the maximum load current in normal operation can be
used to determine the required power rating for resistor RS,
basing it on the current limit value provides a more reliable
design since the circuit can operate near the current limit
threshold continuously. The resistor’s surge capability must
also be considered since the circuit breaker threshold is
twice the current limit threshold. Connections from RS to the
LM5069 should be made using Kelvin techniques. In the
suggested layout of Figure 8 the small pads at the lower
corners of the sense resistor connect only to the sense
resistor terminals, and not to the traces carrying the high
current. With this technique, only the voltage across the
sense resistor is applied to VIN and SENSE, eliminating the
voltage drop across the high current solder connections.
Power Good Pin
The Power Good indicator pin (PGD) is connected to the
drain of an internal N-channel MOSFET capable of sustaining 80V in the off-state, and transients up to 100V. An
external pull-up resistor is required at PGD to an appropriate
voltage to indicate the status to downstream circuitry. The
off-state voltage at the PGD pin can be higher or lower than
the voltages at VIN and OUT. PGD is switched high when the
voltage from SENSE to OUT (the external MOSFET’s VDS)
decreases below 1.25V. PGD switches low when the MOSFET’s VDS is increased past 2.5V. If the UVLO pin is taken
below 2.5V, or the OVLO pin taken above 2.5V, to disable
the LM5069, PGD switches low within 10 µs without waiting
for the voltage at OUT to fall 2.5V below the voltage at
SENSE. The PGD output pin is high when the voltage at VIN
is less than 5V.

Limit section. For example, if RS is 10 mΩ , and the desired
power limit threshold is 60W, RPWR calculates to 75 kΩ. If
Q1’s power dissipation reaches the threshold Q1’s gate is
modulated to reduce the load current, keeping Q1’s power
from exceeding the threshold. For proper operation of the
power limiting feature, RPWR must be ≤150 kΩ. While the
power limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is active as
described in the Fault Timer & Restart section. Typically,
power limit is reached during startup, or if the output voltage
falls due to a severe overload or short circuit.
The programmed maximum power dissipation should have a
reasonable margin from the maximum power defined by the
FET’s SOA chart if the LM5069-2 is used since the FET will
be repeatedly stressed during fault restart cycles. The FET
manufacturer should be consulted for guidelines.

FIGURE 9. No Load Current During Turn-On
If the application does not require use of the power limit
function the PWR pin can be left open.
TURN-ON TIME
The output turn-on time depends on whether the LM5069
operates in current limit, or in both power limit and current
limit, during turn-on.
A) Turn-on with current limit only: The current limit threshold (ILIM) is determined by the current sense resistor (RS). If
the current limit threshold is less than the current defined by
the power limit threshold at maximum VDS the circuit operates at the current limit threshold only during turn-on. Referring to Figure 11a, as the load current reaches ILIM, the
gate-to-source voltage is controlled at VGSL to maintain the
current at ILIM. As the output voltage reaches its final value
(VDS ) 0V) the drain current reduces to its normal operating
value, and the gate is charged to approximately 12V
(VGATE). The time for the OUT pin voltage to transition from
zero volts to VSYS is equal to:
20197223
FIGURE 10. Load Draws Current During Turn-On
B) Turn-on with power limit and current limit: The maximum allowed power dissipation in Q1 (PFET(LIM)) is defined
by the resistor at the PWR pin, and the current sense resistor
RS. See the Power Limit Threshold section. If the current
limit threshold (ILIM) is higher than the current defined by the
power limit threshold at maximum VDS (PFET(LIM)/VSYS) the
circuit operates initially at the power limit mode when the
VDS of Q1 is high, and then transitions to current limit mode
as the current increases to ILIM and VDS decreases. See
Figure 11b. Assuming the load (RL) is not connected during
turn-on, the time for the output voltage to reach its final value
is approximately equal to:
where CL is the load capacitance. For example, if VSYS =
48V, CL = 1000 µF, and ILIM = 1A, tON calculates to 48 ms.
The maximum instantaneous power dissipated in the MOSFET is 48W. This calculation assumes the time from t1 to t2
in Figure 11a is small compared to tON, and the load does not
draw any current until after the output voltage has reached
its final value, and PGD switches high (Figure 9). If the load
draws current during the turn-on sequence (Figure 10), the
turn-on time is longer than the above calculation, and is
approximately equal to:
For example, if VSYS = 48V, CL = 1000 µF, ILIM = 1A, and
PFET(LIM) = 20W, tON calculates to )68 ms, and the initial
current level (IP) is approximately 0.42A. The Fault Timeout
Period must be set longer than tON.
where RL is the load resistance. The Fault Timeout Period
must be set longer than tON to prevent a fault shutdown
before the turn-on sequence is complete.

FIGURE 11. MOSFET Power Up Waveforms
sponse to a circuit card plug-in is unique, the worst case
settling time must be determined for each application. The
insertion time starts when VIN reaches the PORIT threshold,
at which time the internal 5.5 µA current source charges CT
from 0V to 4.0V. The required capacitor value is calculated
from:
MOSFET SELECTION
It is recommended that the external MOSFET (Q1) selection
be based on the following criteria:
- The BVDSS rating should be greater than the maximum
system voltage (VSYS), plus ringing and transients which can
occur at VSYS when the circuit card, or adjacent cards, are
inserted or removed.
- The maximum continuous current rating should be based
on the current limit threshold (55 mV/RS), not the maximum
load current, since the circuit can operate near the current
limit threshold continuously.
- The Pulsed Drain Current spec (IDM) must be greater
than the current threshold for the circuit breaker function
(105 mV/RS).
- The SOA (Safe Operating Area) chart of the device, and
the thermal properties, should be used to determine the
maximum power dissipation threshold set by the RPWR resistor. The programmed maximum power dissipation should
have a reasonable margin from the maximum power defined
by the FET’s SOA chart if the LM5069-2 is used since the
FET will be repeatedly stressed during fault restart cycles.
The FET manufacturer should be consulted for guidelines.
- RDS(on) should be sufficiently low that the power dissipation at maximum load current (IL(max)2 x RDS(on)) does not
raise its junction temperature above the manufacturer’s recommendation.
If the device chosen for Q1 has a maximum VGS rating less
than 12V, an external zener diode must be added from its
gate to source, with the zener voltage less than the maximum VGS rating. The zener diode’s forward current rating
must be at least 250 mA to conduct the GATE pull-down
current during startup and in the circuit breaker mode.
For example, if the desired insertion delay is 250 ms, CT
calculates to 0.345 µF. At the end of the insertion delay, CT is
quickly discharged by a 1.5 mA current sink.
B) Fault Timeout Period - During in-rush current limiting or
upon detection of a fault condition where the current limit
and/or power limit circuits regulate the current through Q1,
the fault timer current source (85 µA) is switched on to
charge CT. The Fault Timeout Period is the time required for
the TIMER pin voltage to reach 4.0V, at which time Q1 is
switched off. The required capacitor value for the desired
Fault Timeout Period tFAULT is calculated from:
(3)
For example, if the desired Fault Timeout Period is 16 ms,
CT calculates to 0.34 µF. After the Fault Timeout Period, the
LM5069-1 latches the GATE pin low until a power up sequence is initiated by external circuitry. CT is discharged by
the 2.5 µA current sink at the end of the Fault Timeout
Period. See the Fault Timer and Restart section and Figure
5. When the Fault Timeout Period of the LM5069-2 expires,
a restart sequence starts as described below (Restart Timing). Since the LM5069 normally operates in power limit
and/or current limit during a power up sequence, the Fault
Timeout Period must be longer than the time required for the
output voltage to reach its final value. See the Turn-on Time
section.
C) Restart Timing For the LM5069-2, after the Fault Timeout Period described above, CT is discharged by the 2.5 µA
current sink to 1.25V. The TIMER pin then cycles through
TIMER CAPACITOR, CT
The TIMER pin capacitor (CT) sets the timing for the insertion time delay, fault timeout period, and restart timing of the
LM5069-2.
A) Insertion Delay - Upon applying the system voltage
(VSYS) to the circuit, the external MOSFET (Q1) is held off
during the insertion time (t1 in Figure 3) to allow ringing and
transients at VSYS to settle. Since each backplane’s rewww.national.com

seven additional charge/discharge cycles between 1.25V
and 4.0V as shown in Figure 6. The restart time ends when
the TIMER pin voltage reaches 0.3V during the final high-tolow ramp. The restart time, after the Fault Timeout Period, is
equal to:
The lower OVLO threshold is calculated from:
= CT x 9.4 x 106
For example, if CT = 0.33 µF, tRESTART = 3.1 seconds. At the
end of the restart time, Q1 is switched on. If the fault is still
present, the fault timeout and restart sequence repeats. The
on-time duty cycle of Q1 is approximately 0.5% in this mode.
As an example, assume the application requires the following thresholds: VUVH = 36V, VUVL = 32V, VOVH = 60V.
UVLO, OVLO
By programming the UVLO and OVLO thresholds the
LM5069 enables the series pass device (Q1) when the input
supply voltage (VSYS) is within the desired operational
range. If VSYS is below the UVLO threshold, or above the
OVLO threshold, Q1 is switched off, denying power to the
load. Hysteresis is provided for each threshold.
Option A: The configuration shown in Figure 12 requires
three resistors (R1-R3) to set the thresholds.
The lower OVLO threshold calculates to 55.8V, and the
OVLO hysteresis is 4.2V. Note that the OVLO hysteresis is
always slightly greater than the UVLO hysteresis in this
configuration. When the R1-R3 resistor values are known,
the threshold voltages and hysteresis are calculated from
the following:
20197229
VUV(HYS) = R1 x 21 µA
FIGURE 12. UVLO and OVLO Thresholds Set By R1-R3
The procedure to calculate the resistor values is as follows:
- Choose the upper UVLO threshold (VUVH), and the
lower UVLO threshold (VUVL).
- Choose the upper OVLO threshold (VOVH).
- The lower OVLO threshold (VOVL) cannot be chosen in
advance in this case, but is determined after the values for
R1-R3 are determined. If VOVL must be accurately defined in
addition to the other three thresholds, see Option B below.
The resistors are calculated as follows:
VOV(HYS) = (R1 + R2) x 21 µA
Option B: If all four thresholds must be accurately defined,
the configuration in Figure 13 can be used.

(Refer to Figure 1) (Continued)
As an example, assume the application requires the following thresholds: VUVH = 22V, VUVL = 17V, VOVH = 60V, and
VOVL = 58V. Therefore VUV(HYS) = 5V, and VOV(HYS) = 2V.
The resistor values are:
R1 = 238 kΩ, R2 = 41 kΩ
R3 = 95.2 kΩ, R4 = 4.14 kΩ
Where the R1-R4 resistor values are known, the threshold
voltages and hysteresis are calculated from the following:
VUV(HYS) = R1 x 21 µA
20197241
FIGURE 13. Programming the Four Thresholds
The four resistor values are calculated as follows:
- Choose the upper and lower UVLO thresholds (VUVH)
and (VUVL).
VOV(HYS) = R3 x 21 µA
Option C: The minimum UVLO level is obtained by connecting the UVLO pin to VIN as shown in Figure 14. Q1 is
switched on when the VIN voltage reaches the POREN
threshold ()8.8V). An external transistor can be connected
to UVLO to provide remote shutdown control, and to restart
the LM5069-1 after a fault detection. The OVLO thresholds
are set using R3, R4. Their values are calculated using the
procedure in Option B.

voltage at OUT increases to within 1.25V of the SENSE pin
(VDS < 1.25V), PGD switches high. PGD switches low if the
VDS of Q1 increases above 2.5V. A pull-up resistor is required at PGD as shown in Figure 15. The pull-up voltage
(VPGD) can be as high as 80V, with transient capability to
100V, and can be higher or lower than the voltages at VIN
and OUT.
POWER GOOD PIN
During turn-on, the Power Good pin (PGD) is high until the
voltage at VIN increases above ) 5V. PGD then switches
low, remaining low as the VIN voltage increases. When the

Adding a diode across RPG2 (Figure 16c) allows for equal
delays at the two edges, or a short delay at the rising edge
and a long delay at the falling edge.
If a delay is required at PGD, suggested circuits are shown in
Figure 16. In Figure 16a, capacitor CPG adds delay to the
rising edge, but not to the falling edge. In Figure 16b, the
rising edge is delayed by RPG1 + RPG2 and CPG, while the
20197252

Design-in Procedure
The recommended design-in procedure is as follows:
• Determine the current limit threshold (ILIM). This threshold must be higher than the normal maximum load current, allowing for tolerances in the current sense resistor
value and the LM5069 Current Limit threshold voltage.
Use equation 1 to determine the value for RS.
•
• Determine the maximum allowable power dissipation for
the series pass FET (Q1), using the device’s SOA information. Use equation 2 to determine the value for RPWR.
• Determine the value for the timing capacitor at the TIMER
pin (CT) using equation 3. The fault timeout period
•

(tFAULT) must be longer than the circuit’s turn-on-time.
The turn-on time can be estimated using the equations in
the TURN-ON TIME section of this data sheet, but should
be verified experimentally. Review the resulting insertion
time, and restart timing if the LM5069-2 is used.
Choose option A, B, C, or D from the UVLO, OVLO
section of the Application Information for setting the
UVLO and OVLO thresholds and hysteresis. Use the
procedure for the appropriate option to determine the
resistor values at the UVLO and OVLO pins.
Choose the appropriate voltage, and pull-up resistor, for
the Power Good output.

PC Board Guidelines
The following guidelines should be followed when designing
the PC board for the LM5069:
• Place the LM5069 close to the board’s input connector to
minimize trace inductance from the connector to the FET.
• Place a small capacitor (1000 pF) directly adjacent to the
VIN and GND pins of the LM5069 to help minimize
transients which may occur on the input supply line.
Transients of several volts can easily occur when the
load current is shut off.
• The sense resistor (RS) should be close to the LM5069,
and connected to it using the Kelvin techniques shown in
Figure 8.
• The high current path from the board’s input to the load
(via Q1), and the return path, should be parallel and close
to each other to minimize loop inductance.
•
•
The ground connection for the various components
around the LM5069 should be connected directly to each
other, and to the LM5069’s GND pin, and then connected
to the system ground at one point. Do not connect the
various component grounds to each other through the
high current ground line.
Provide adequate heat sinking for the series pass device
(Q1) to help reduce stresses during turn-on and turn-off.
The board’s edge connector can be designed to shut off
the LM5069 as the board is removed, before the supply
voltage is disconnected from the LM5069. In Figure 17
the voltage at the UVLO pin goes to ground before VSYS
is removed from the LM5069 due to the shorter edge
connector pin. When the board is inserted into the edge
connector, the system voltage is applied to the LM5069’s
VIN pin before the UVLO voltage is taken high.
20197253
FIGURE 17. Recommended Board Connector Design
B) If the load powered via the LM5069 hot swap circuit has
inductive characteristics, a diode is required across the
LM5069’s output. The diode provides a recirculating path for
the load’s current when the LM5069 shuts off that current.
Adding the diode prevents possible damage to the LM5069
as the OUT pin will be taken below ground by the inductive
load at shutoff. See Figure 18.
System Considerations
A) Continued proper operation of the LM5069 hot swap
circuit requires capacitance be present on the supply side of
the connector into which the hot swap circuit is plugged in,
as depicted in Figure 2. The capacitor in the “Live Backplane” section is necessary to absorb the transient generated whenever the hot swap circuit shuts off the load current.
If the capacitance is not present, inductance in the supply
lines will generate a voltage transient at shut-off which can
exceed the absolute maximum rating of the LM5069, resulting in its destruction.
