-48V Hot-Swap Controller
with External RSENSE
Features
♦ Allows Safe Board Insertion and Removal
from a Live -48V Backplane
The MAX5920A/MAX5920B provide a controlled turn-on
to circuit cards preventing glitches on the power-supply
rail and damage to board connectors and components.
The MAX5920A/MAX5920B provide undervoltage, overvoltage, and overcurrent protection. These devices
ensure the input voltage is stable and within tolerance
before applying power to the load.
Both the MAX5920A and MAX5920B protect a system
against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions by turning off the external MOSFET in the event of a fault condition. The MAX5920A/MAX5920B also provide
protection against input voltage steps. During an input
voltage step, the MAX5920A/MAX5920B limit the current drawn by the load to a safe level without turning off
power to the load.
Both devices feature an open-drain power-good status
output (PWRGD for the MAX5920A or PWRGD for the
MAX5920B) that can be used to enable downstream
converters. A built-in thermal-shutdown feature is also
included to protect the external MOSFET in case of
overheating.

Detailed Description
The MAX5920A/MAX5920B are integrated hot-swap
controllers for -48V power systems. They allow circuit
boards to be safely hot plugged into a live backplane
without causing a glitch on the power-supply rail. When
circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, the
bypass capacitors at the input of the board’s power
module or switching power supply can draw large
inrush currents as they charge. The inrush currents can
cause glitches on the system power-supply rail and
damage components on the board.
8
The MAX5920A/MAX5920B provide a controlled turn-on
to circuit cards preventing glitches on the power-supply
rail and damage to board connectors and components.
Both the MAX5920A and MAX5920B provide undervoltage, overvoltage, and overcurrent protection. The
MAX5920A/MAX5920B ensure the input voltage is stable and within tolerance before applying power to the
load. The devices also provide protection against input
voltage steps. During an input voltage step, the
MAX5920A/MAX5920B limit the current drawn by the
load to a safe level without turning off power to the load.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
-48V Hot-Swap Controller
with External RSENSE
Power-Supply Ramping
The MAX5920A/MAX5920B can reside either on the
backplane or the removable circuit board (Figure 6a).
Power is delivered to the load by placing an external
N-channel MOSFET pass transistor in the power-supply
path.
After the circuit board is inserted into the backplane
and the supply voltage at VEE is stable and within the
undervoltage and overvoltage tolerance, the
MAX5920A/MAX5920B turn on Q1. The MAX5920A/
MAX5920B gradually turn on the external MOSFET by
charging the gate of Q1 with a 45µA current source.
Capacitor C2 provides a feedback signal to accurately
limit the inrush current. The inrush current can be
calculated:
IINRUSH = IPU x CL / C2
where CL is the total load capacitance, C3 + C4, and
IPU is the MAX5920_ gate pullup current.
Figure 6b shows the inrush current waveform. The current through C2 controls the GATE voltage. At the end
of the DRAIN ramp, the GATE voltage is charged to its
final value. The GATE-to-SENSE clamp limits the maximum VGS to about 18V under any condition.
Board Removal
If the circuit card is removed from the backplane, the voltage at the UV pin falls below the UVLO detect threshold,
and the MAX5920_ turns off the external MOSFET.
Current Limit and Electronic
Circuit Breaker
The MAX5920_ provides current-limiting and circuitbreaker features that protect against excessive load current and short-circuit conditions. The load current is
monitored by sensing the voltage across an external
sense resistor connected between VEE and SENSE.

Board Insertion
Figure 6a shows a typical hot-swap circuit for -48V systems. When the circuit board first makes contact with
the backplane, the DRAIN to GATE capacitance (Cgd)
of Q1 pulls up the GATE voltage to roughly IVEE x Cgd /
Cgd + CgsI. The MAX5920_ features an internal dynamic clamp between GATE and VEE to keep the gate-tosource voltage of Q1 low during hot insertion,
preventing Q1 from passing an uncontrolled current to
the load. For most applications, the internal clamp
between GATE and VEE of the MAX5920A/MAX5920B
eliminates the need for an external gate-to-source
capacitor. Resistor R3 limits the current into the clamp
circuitry during card insertion.

Figure 6b. Input Inrush Current
If the voltage between VEE and SENSE reaches the current-limit trip voltage (VCL), the MAX5920_ pulls down
the GATE pin and regulates the current through the
external MOSFET so VSENSE - VEE < VCL. If the current
drawn by the load drops below VCL / RSENSE limit, the
GATE pin voltage rises again. However, if the load current is at the regulation limit of VCL / RSENSE for a period
of tPHLCL, the electronic circuit breaker trips, causing
the MAX5920A/MAX5920B to turn off the external MOSFET.
After an overcurrent fault condition, the circuit breaker
is reset by pulling the UV pin low and then pulling UV
high or by cycling power to the MAX5920A/MAX5920B.
Unless power is cycled to the MAX5920A/MAX5920B,
the device waits until tOFF has elapsed before turning
on the gate of the external FET.
Overcurrent Fault Integrator
The MAX5920_ feature an overcurrent fault integrator.
When an overcurrent condition exists, an internal digital
counter increments its count. When the counter reaches
500µs (the maximum current-limit duration) for the
MAX5920_, an overcurrent fault is generated. If the
overcurrent fault does not last 500µs, then the counter
begins decrementing at a rate 128 (maximum currentlimit duty cycle) times slower than the counter was
incrementing. Repeated overcurrent conditions will generate a fault if duty cycle of the overcurrent condition is
greater than 1/128.
Load-Current Regulation
The MAX5920A/MAX5920B accomplish load-current
regulation by pulling current from the GATE pin whenever V SENSE - V EE > V CL (see Typical Operating
Characteristics). This decreases the gate-to-source
In the event of a permanent short-circuit condition, the
MAX5920A/MAX5920B limit the current drawn by the
load to VCL / RSENSE for a period of tPHLCL, after which
the circuit breaker trips. Once the circuit breaker trips,
the GATE of the external FET is pulled low by 50mA
(IPD) turning off power to the load.
Immunity to Input Voltage Steps
The MAX5920A/MAX5920B guard against input voltage
steps on the input supply. A rapid increase in the input
supply voltage (VDD - VEE increasing) causes a current
step equal to I = CL x ∆VIN / ∆T, proportional to the input
voltage slew rate (∆VIN / ∆T). If the load current exceeds
V CL / R SENSE during an input voltage step, the
MAX5920A/MAX5920B current limit activates, pulling
down the gate voltage and limiting the load current to
VCL / RSENSE. The DRAIN voltage (VDRAIN) then slews at
a slower rate than the input voltage. As the drain voltage
starts to slew down, the drain-to-gate feedback capacitor
C2 pushes back on the gate, reducing the gate-tosource voltage (VGS) and the current through the external MOSFET. Once the input supply reaches its final
value, the DRAIN slew rate (and therefore the inrush current) is limited by the capacitor C2 just as it is limited in
the startup condition. To ensure correct operation,
RSENSE must be chosen to provide a current limit larger
than the sum of the load current and the dynamic current
into the load capacitance in the slewing mode.
If the load current plus the capacitive charging current is
below the current limit, the circuit breaker does not trip.

Figure 9. Circuit for Input Steps with Small C1
For C2 values less than 10nF, a positive voltage step on
the input supply can result in Q1 turning off momentarily,
which can shut down the output. By adding an additional
resistor and diode, Q1 remains on during the voltage
step. This is shown as D1 and R7 in Figure 9. The purpose of D1 is to shunt current around R7 when the power
pins first make contact and allow C1 to hold the GATE
low. The value of R7 should be sized to generate an
R7 x C1 time constant of 33µs.
internally connected to analog comparators with 130mV
(UV) and 50mV (OV) of hysteresis. When the UV voltage
falls below its threshold or the OV voltage rises above its
threshold, the GATE pin is immediately pulled low. The
GATE pin is held low until UV goes high and OV is low,
indicating that the input supply voltage is within specification. The MAX5920_ includes an internal lockout (UVLO)
that keeps the external MOSFET off until the input supply
voltage exceeds 15.4V, regardless of the UV input.

The UV pin is also used to reset the circuit breaker after
a fault condition has occurred. The UV pin can be pulled
below VUVL to reset the circuit breaker.
The UV and OV pins can be used to detect undervoltage
and overvoltage conditions. The UV and OV pins are

Figure 11 shows how to program the undervoltage and
overvoltage trip thresholds using three resistors. With R4
= 549kΩ, R5 = 6.49kΩ, and R6 = 10kΩ, the undervoltage
threshold is set to 38.5V (with a 43V release from undervoltage), and the overvoltage is set to 71V. The resistordivider also increases the hysteresis and overvoltage

PWRGD/PWRGD Output
The PWRGD (PWRGD) output can be used directly to
enable a power module after hot insertion. The
MAX5920A (PWRGD) can be used to enable modules
with an active-low enable input (Figure 13), while the
MAX5920B (PWRGD) is used to enable modules with
an active-high enable input (Figure 12).
The PWRGD signal is referenced to the DRAIN terminal, which is the negative supply of the power module.
The PWRGD signal is referenced to VEE.
When the DRAIN voltage of the MAX5920A is high with
respect to VEE or the GATE voltage is low, the internal
pulldown MOSFET Q2 is off and the PWRGD pin is in a
high-impedance state (Figure 13). The PWRGD pin is

Figure 14. Using PWRGD to Drive an Optoisolator
pulled high by the module’s internal pullup current
source, turning the module off. When the DRAIN voltage drops below VDL and the GATE voltage is greater
than ∆VGATE - VGH, Q2 turns on and the PWRGD pin
pulls low, enabling the module.
The PWRGD signal can also be used to turn on an LED
or optoisolator to indicate that the power is good
(Figure 14) (see the Component Selection Procedure
section).
When the DRAIN voltage of the MAX5920B is high with
respect to VEE (Figure 12) or the GATE voltage is low, the
internal MOSFET Q3 is turned off so that I1 and the internal MOSFET Q2 clamp the PWRGD pin to the DRAIN pin.
MOSFET Q2 sinks the module’s pullup current, and the
module turns off.
When the DRAIN voltage drops below V DL and the
GATE voltage is greater than ∆VGATE - VGH, MOSFET
Q3 turns on, shorting I1 to VEE and turning Q2 off. The
pullup current in the module pulls the PWRGD pin high,
enabling the module.
GATE Pin Voltage Regulation
The GATE pin goes high when the following startup conditions are met: the UV pin is high, the OV pin is low, the
supply voltage is above VUVLOH, and (VSENSE - VEE) is
less than 50mV. The gate is pulled up with a 45µA current
source and is regulated at 13.5V above V EE . The
14
MAX5920A/MAX5920B include an internal clamp that
ensures the GATE voltage of the external MOSFET never
exceeds 18V. During a fast-rising VDD, the clamp also
keeps the GATE and SENSE potentials as close as possible to prevent the FET from accidentally turning on. When
a fault condition is detected, the GATE pin is pulled low
with a 50mA current.
Thermal Shutdown
The MAX5920A/MAX5920B include internal die-temperature monitoring. When the die temperature reaches the
thermal-shutdown threshold, T OT , the MAX5920A/
MAX5920B pull the GATE pin low and turn off the external
MOSFET. If a good thermal path is provided between the
MOSFET and the MAX5920A/MAX5920B, the device
offers thermal protection for the external MOSFET.
Placing the MAX5920A/MAX5920B near the drain of the
external MOSFET offers the best thermal protection
because most of the power is dissipated in its drain.
After a thermal shutdown fault has occurred, the
MAX5920A/MAX5920B turn the external FET off. To
clear a thermal shutdown fault condition, toggle the UV
pin or cycle the power to the device. The device keeps
the external FET off for a minimum time of tOFF after UV
is toggled, allowing the MOSFET to cool down. The
device restarts after the temperature drops 20°C below
the thermal-shutdown threshold.

Sense Resistor
The circuit-breaker current-limit threshold is set to 50mV
(typically). Select a sense resistor that causes a drop
equal to or above the current-limit threshold at a current
level above the maximum normal operating current.
Typically, set the overload current to 1.5 to 2.0 times the
nominal load current plus the load-capacitance charging
current during startup. Choose the sense resistor power
rating to be greater than (VCL)2 / RSENSE.

• If an optocoupler is utilized as in Figure 14, determine the LED series resistor:
V
− 2V
R7 = IN(NOMINAL)
3mA ≤ ILED ≤ 5mA
Although the suggested optocoupler is not specified for
operation below 5mA, its performance is adequate for
36V temporary low-line voltage where LED current
would then be ≈2.2mA to 3.7mA. If R7 is set as high as
51kΩ, optocoupler operation should be verified over
the expected temperature and input voltage range to
ensure suitable operation when LED current ≈0.9mA for
48V input and ≈0.7mA for 36V input.
If input transients are expected to momentarily raise the
input voltage to >100V, select an input transient-voltage-suppression diode (TVS) to limit maximum voltage
on the MAX5920 to less than 100V. A suitable device is
the Diodes Inc. SMAT70A telecom-specific TVS.
Select Q1 to meet supply voltage, load current, efficiency, and Q1 package power-dissipation requirements:
BVDSS ≥ 100V
ID(ON) ≥ 3 x ILOAD
DPAK, D2PAK, or TO-220AB
The lowest practical RDS(ON), within budget constraints
and with values from 14mΩ to 540mΩ, are available at
100V breakdown.
Ensure that the temperature rise of Q1 junction is not
excessive at normal load current for the package selected. Ensure that ICB current during voltage transients
does not exceed allowable transient-safe operating-area
limitations. This is determined from the SOA and transient-thermal-resistance curves in the Q1 manufacturer’s
data sheet.
Example 1:
ILOAD = 2.5A, efficiency = 98%, then VDS = 0.96V is
acceptable, or RDS(ON) ≤ 384mΩ at operating temperature is acceptable. An IRL520NS 100V NMOS with
R DS(ON) ≤ 180mΩ and I D(ON) = 10A is available in
D2PAK. (A Vishay Siliconix SUD40N10-25 100V NMOS
with RDS(ON) ≤ 25mΩ and ID(ON) = 40A is available in
DPAK, but may be more costly because of a larger die
size).
Using the IRL520NS, VDS ≤ 0.625V even at +80°C so
efficiency ≥ 98.6% at 80°C. PD ≤ 1.56W and junction
temperature rise above case temperature would be 5°C
due to the package θJC = 3.1°C/W thermal resistance.
Of course, using the SUD40N10-25 would yield an efficiency greater than 99.8% to compensate for the
increased cost.

If ICB is set to twice ILOAD, or 5A, VDS momentarily doubles to ≤ 1.25V. If COUT = 4000µF, transient-line input
voltage is ∆36V, the 5A charging-current pulse is:
4000µF x 1.25V
t=
= 1ms
5A
Entering the data sheet transient-thermal-resistance
curves at 1ms provides a θJC = 0.9°C/W. PD = 6.25W,
so ∆tJC = 5.6°C. Clearly, this is not a problem.
Example 2:
ILOAD = 10A, efficiency = 98%, allowing VDS = 0.96V
but RDS(ON) ≤ 96mΩ. An IRF530 in a D2PAK exhibits
RDS(ON) ≤ 90mΩ at +25°C and ≤ 135mΩ at +80°C.
Power dissipation is 9.6W at +25°C or 14.4W at +80°C.
Junction-to-case thermal resistance is 1.9W/°C, so the
junction temperature rise would be approximately 5°C
above the +25°C case temperature. For higher efficiency, consider IRL540NS with R DS(ON) ≤ 44mΩ. This
allows η = 99%, PD ≤ 4.4W, and TJC = +4°C (θJC =
1.1°C/W) at +25°C.
Thermal calculations for the transient condition yield
I CB = 20A, V DS = 1.8V, t = 0.5ms, transient θ JC =
0.12°C/W, PD = 36W and ∆tJC = 4.3°C.
