The Supertex HV300 (and HV310), Hotswap Controller, Negative
Supply control power supply connection during insertion of
cards or modules into live backplanes. They may be used in
traditional ‘negative 48V’ powered systems or for higher voltage
busses up to negative 90V.
Operation during the initial power up prevents turn-on glitches,
and after complete charging of load capacitors (typically found
in filters at the input of DC-DC converters) the HV300 (and
HV310) issues a power good signal. This signal is typically
used to enable the DC-DC converter.
The only difference between the HV300 and the HV310 is the
polarity of the PWRGD signal line to accommodate different
DC-DC converter models. Once PWRGD signal has been
established the device sleeps in a low power state, important
for large systems with many individual hotswap cards or
modules.
Applications
An external power MOSFET is required as the pass element,
plus a ramp capacitor, and resistors to establish current limiting
and over and under voltage lockouts. There is no need for
additional external snubber components.

Features are programmable over voltage and under voltage
detection of the input voltage which locks out the load connection
if the bus (input) voltage is out of range. An internal voltage
regulator creates a stable reference, and maintains accurate
gate drive voltage. The unique control loop scheme provides
full current control and limiting during start up.
Theory of Operation
Initially the external N-channel MOSFET is held off by the gate
signal, preventing an input glitch. After a delay (while internal
circuits are activated) the inrush current to the load is limited by
the gate control output. The current may ramp up and limit at
a maximum value programmed by an external resistor. Initial
time delay, to allow for contact bounce, and charging operation
is determined by the single external ramp capacitor connected
to the RAMP pin. When the load capacitor is fully charged, the
controller emerges from current limit mode, an additional time
delay occurs before the external N-channel MOSFET pass
transistor is switched to full conduction, and the PWRGD
output signal is activated. The controller will then transition to
a low power standby mode.

Pin Description
PWRGD – The Power Good Output Pin is held inactive on initial
power application and will go active when the external MOSFET
is fully turned on. This pin may be used as an enable control
when connected directly to a PWM power module.
RAMP – This pin provides a current output so that a timing
ramp voltage is generated when a capacitor is connected. The
initial portion of the ramp provides a time delay, which in
conjunction with the Under Voltage detection circuit eliminates
circuit card insertion contact bounce. The RAMP pin also controls
the delay between the current limit mode disengaging and the
PWRGD signal activating; as well as the current rise profile
after the initial turn on delay.
OV – This Over Voltage sense pin, when raised above its high
threshold will immediately cause the GATE pin to be pulled low.
The GATE pin will remain low until the voltage on this pin falls
below the low threshold limit, initiating a new start-up cycle.
GATE – This is the Gate Driver Output for the external NChannel MOSFET.
UV – This Under Voltage sense pin, when below its low threshold
limit will ensure that the GATE pin is low. The GATE pin will
remain low until the voltage on this pin rises above the high
threshold, initializing a new start-up cycle.
SENSE – The current sense resistor connected from this pin to
VEE pin programs the current limit. Constant current output
mode is established when the voltage drop across this resistor
reaches 50mV.
VEE – This pin is the negative voltage power supply input to the
circuit.
VDD – This pin is the positive voltage power supply input to the
circuit.

HV300/HV310
Assuming the above conditions are satisfied and while continuing
to hold the PWRGD output inactive and the external MOSFET
GATE voltage low, the current source feeding the RAMP pin is
turned on. The external capacitor connected to it begins to
charge, thus starting an initial time delay determined by the
value of the capacitor. If an interruption of the input power
occurs during this time (i.e. caused by contact bounce) or the
OV or UV limits are exceeded, an immediate reset occurs and
the external capacitor connected to the RAMP pin is discharged.
Functional Description
Insertion Into Hot Backplanes
Telecom, Data Network and some Computer applications require
the ability to insert and remove circuit cards from systems
without powering down the entire system. All circuit cards have
some filter capacitance on the power rails, which is especially
true in circuit cards or network terminal equipment utilizing
distributed power systems. The insertion can result in high
inrush currents that can cause damage to connector and circuit
cards and may result in unacceptable disturbances on the
system backplane power rails.
When the voltage on the RAMP pin reaches an internally set
voltage limit, the gate drive circuitry begins to turn on the
external MOSFET; allowing the current to softly rise over a
period of a few hundred micro-seconds to the current limit set
point. While the circuit is limiting current, the voltage on the
RAMP pin will be fixed.
The HV300/HV310 was designed to allow the insertion of these
circuit cards or connection of terminal equipment by eliminating
these inrush currents and powering up these circuits in a
controlled manner after full connector insertion has been
achieved. The HV300/HV310 is intended to provide this function
on a negative supply rail in the range of -10 to -90 Volts.
Depending on the value of the load capacitance and the
programmed current limit, charging may continue for some
time. The magnitude of the current limit is programmed by
comparing a voltage developed by a sense resistor connected
between the VEE and SENSE pins to 50mV (Typical). Once the
load capacitor has been charged, the current will drop which
will cause the ramp voltage to continue rising; providing yet
another programmed delay.
Waveforms
When the ramp voltage is within 1.2V of the internally regulated
voltage, the controller will force the GATE full on and will
activate the PWRGD pin and the circuit will transition to a low
power standby mode. The PWRGD pin is often used as an
enable for downstream DC/DC converter loads.

At any time during the start up cycle or thereafter, crossing the

Operation
On initial power application an internal regulator seeks to provide
10 Volts for the internal IC circuitry. Until the proper internal
voltage is achieved all circuits are held reset, the open drain
PWRGD signal is inactive to inhibit the start of any load circuitry
and the gate to source voltage of the external N-channel
MOSFET is held low. Once the internal under voltage lock out
(UVLO) has been satisfied, the circuit checks the input supply
voltage under voltage (UV) and over voltage (OV) sense circuits
to ensure that the input voltage is within acceptable programmed
limits. These limits are determined by the selected values of
resistors R1, R2 and R3, which form a voltage divider.

UVoff = 1.16 = 35 * (R2 + R3) / 500K
R2 = (1.16 * 500K) / 35 – 9.76kΩ = 6.81kΩ.
Under Voltage and Over Voltage Detection
The closest 1% value is 6.81kΩ.
The UV and OV pins are connected to comparators with nominal
1.21V thresholds and 100mV of hysteresis (1.21V ± 50mV).
They are used to detect under voltage and over voltage
conditions at the input to the circuit. Whenever the OV pin rises
above its threshold or the UV pin falls below its threshold the
GATE voltage is immediately pulled low, the PWRGD signal is
deactivated and the external capacitor connected to the RAMP
pin is discharged.
Then R1 = 500K – (R2 +R3) = 483kΩ
The closest 1% value is 487kΩ.
The under voltage and over voltage trip points can be
programmed by means of the three resistor divider formed by
R1, R2 and R3. Since the input currents on the UV and OV pins
are negligible the resistor values may be calculated as follows:

Current Limit
From the second equation for an Over voltage set point of 65
Volts the value of R3 may be calculated.
The current limit magnitude above which the current will not be
allowed to rise during startup is programmed using a sense
resistor connected from the SENSE pin to VEE pin. For example
to program a current limit of 1A, one would choose a resistor as
follows:
OVoff = 1.26 = 65 * R3 / 500kΩ
R3 = (1.26 * 500K) / 65 = 9.69 kΩ
The closest 1% value is 9.76kΩ.

From the first equation for an Under Voltage set point of 35
