DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®4260 Hot SwapTM controller allows a board to be
safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. Using
an external N-channel pass transistor, the board supply
voltage can be ramped up at an adjustable rate. An I2C
interface and onboard ADC allow monitoring of board
current, voltage and fault status.
Allows Safe Insertion into Live Backplane
8-Bit ADC Monitors Current and Voltage
I2CTM/SMBus Interface
Wide Operating Voltage Range: 8.5V to 80V
High Side Drive for External N-Channel MOSFET
Input Overvoltage/Undervoltage Protection
Optional Latchoff or Autoretry After Faults
Alerts Host After Faults
Foldback Current Limiting
Available in 24-Lead SO, 24-Lead Narrow
SSOP and 32-Lead (5mm × 5mm) QFN Packages
The device features adjustable analog foldback current
limit with latch off or automatic restart after the LTC4260
remains in current limit beyond an adjustable time-out
delay.
The controller has additional features to interrupt the host
when a fault has occurred, notify when output power is
good, detect insertion of a load card and power-up in either
the on or off state.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 3: Limits on maximum rating is defined as whichever limit occurs
first. An internal clamp limits the GATE pin to a minimum of 10V above
source. Driving this pin to voltages beyond the clamp may damage the
device.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design and not subject to test.
Note 5: Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
precise analog input voltage. Maximum specifications are limited by the
LSB step size and the single shot measurement. Typical specificatons are
measured from the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 areas of the quantization band.
Note 6: 1LSB step size specification is guaranteed by full-scale voltage
measurement and by design.
Note 7: Full-scale current sense specification corresponds to code 200.
Codes above 200 may be discarded by offset cancellation.

PI FU CTIO S
ADIN: ADC Input. A voltage between 0V and 2.56V applied
to this pin can be measured by the onboard ADC. Tie to
ground if unused.
ADR0 to ADR2: Serial Bus Address Inputs. Tying these
pins to ground, open or INTVCC configures one of 27 possible addresses. See Table 1 in Applications Information.
ALERT: Fault Alert Output. Open-drain logic output that
can be pulled to ground when a fault occurs to alert the
host controller. A fault alert is enabled by the ALERT
register. This device is compatible with SMBus alert
protocol. See Applications Information. Tie to ground if
unused.
BD_PRST: Board Present Input. Ground this pin to enable
the N-channel FET to turn on after 100ms debounce delay.
When this pin is high, the FET is off. An internal 10µA
current source pulls up this pin. Transitions on this pin will
be recorded in the FAULT register. A high-to-low transition
activates the logic to read the state of the ON pin and clear
Faults. See Applications Information.
Exposed Pad (Pin 33, UH Package): Exposed Pad may be
left open or connected to device ground.
FB: Foldback and Power Good Input. A resistive divider
from the output voltage is tied to this pin. When the voltage
at this pin drops below 3.41V, the output power is considered bad and the current limit is reduced. The power bad
condition can be indicated with the GPIO pin and a power
bad fault can be logged in this condition. See Applications
Information.
GATE: Gate Drive for External N-Channel FET. An internal
18µA current source charges the gate of the external
N-channel MOSFET. A resistor and capacitor network
from this pin to ground sets the turn-on rate and compensates the active current limit. During turn-off there is a
1mA pull-down current. During a short circuit or undervoltage lockout (VDD or INTVCC), a 600mA pull-down
current source between GATE and SOURCE is activated.

GPIO: General Purpose Input/Output. Open-drain logic
output and logic input. Defaults to pull low to indicate
power is bad. Configure according to Table 3.
NC: No Connect. Unconnected pins. These pins provide
extra distance between high and low voltage pins.
ON: On Control Input. A rising edge turns on the external
N-channel FET and a falling edge turns it off. This pin is
also used to configure the state of the FET ON bit (and
hence the external FET) at power up. For example if the ON
pin is tied high, then the FET ON control bit (A3) will go high
100ms after power-up. Likewise if the ON pin is tied low
then the part will remain off after power-up until the FET
ON control bit is set high using the I2C bus. A high-to-low
transition on this pin will clear faults.
OV (GN/UH Packages): Overvoltage Comparator Input.
Connect this pin to an external resistive divider from VDD.
If the voltage at this pin rises above 3.5V, an overvoltage
fault is detected and the switch turns off. Tie to GND if
unused.
SCL: Serial Bus Clock Input. Data at the SDA pin is shifted
in or out on rising edges of SCL. This is a high impedance
pin that is generally driven by an open-collector output
from a master controller. An external pull-up resistor or
current source is required.
SDAI: Serial Bus Data Input. A high impedance input used
for shifting in address, command or data bits. Normally
tied to SDAO to form the SDA line.
SDAO: Serial Bus Data Output. Open-drain output used for
sending data back to the master controller or acknowledging a write operation. Normally tied to SDAI to form the
SDA line. An external pull-up resistor or current source is
required.
SENSE: Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to the
output of the current sense resistor. The current limit
circuit controls the GATE pin to limit the sense voltage
between the VDD and SENSE pins to 50mV or less depending on the voltage at the FB pin. This pin is used as an input
to the 8-bit ADC.
SOURCE: N-Channel MOSFET Source Connection and
ADC Input. Connect this pin to the source of the external
N-channel MOSFET switch. This pin also serves as the
ADC input to monitor output voltage. The pin provides a
return for the gate pull-down circuit and as a supply for the
charge pump circuit.
TIMER: Timer Input. Connect a capacitor between this
pin and ground to set a 12ms/µF duration for current limit
before the switch is turned off. The duration of the off
time is 518ms/µF when autoretry during current limit is
enabled. A minimum value of 0.1nF must be connected
to this pin.
UV: Undervoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin to
an external resistive divider from VDD. If the voltage at this
pin falls below 3.12V, an undervoltage fault is detected and
the switch turns off. Pulling this pin below 1.2V resets all
faults and allows the switch to turn back on. Tie to INTVCC
if unused.
VDD: Supply Voltage and Current Sense Input. This pin has
an undervoltage lockout threshold of 7.45V.
INTVCC: Internal Low Voltage Supply Decoupling Output.
Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from this pin to ground. This pin
can be used to drive the other pins to logic high and has an
undervoltage lockout threshold of 3.8V.
VDDK (UH Package): Same as VDD. Connect this pin to
VDD. VDDK tied to VDD internally with 18Ω.

OPERATIO
The Functional Diagram displays the main functional areas
of this device. The LTC4260 is designed to turn a board’s
supply voltage on and off in a controlled manner, allowing
the board to be safely inserted or removed from a live
backplane. During normal operation, the charge pump and
gate driver turn on the external N-channel pass FET’s gate
to pass power to the load. The gate driver uses a charge
pump that derives its power from the SOURCE pin. When
the SOURCE pin is at ground, the charge pump is powered
from an internal 12V supply derived from VDD. This results
in a 200µA current load on the SOURCE pin when the gate
is up. Also included in the gate driver is an internal 15V
gate-to-source clamp.
The current sense (CS) amplifier monitors the load current
using the difference between the VDD and SENSE pin
voltage. The CS amplifier limits the current in the load by
reducing the GATE-to-SOURCE voltage in an active control loop. The CS amplifier requires 100µA input bias
current from both the VDD and the SENSE pins.
A short circuit on the output to ground causes significant
power dissipation during active current limiting. To limit
this power, the foldback amplifier reduces the current limit
value from 50mV to 20mV (referred to the VDD minus
SENSE voltage) in a linear manner as the FB pin drops
below 2V (see Typical Performance curves).
If an overcurrent condition persists, the TIMER pin ramps
up with a 100µA current source until the pin voltage
exceeds 1.2V (comparator TM2). This indicates to the
logic that it is time to turn off the pass FET to prevent
overheating. At this point the TIMER pin ramps down
using the 2µA current source until the voltage drops below
0.2V (comparator TM1) which tells the logic that the pass
transistor has cooled and it is safe to turn it on again.
The output voltage is monitored using the FB pin and the
PG comparator to determine if the power is available for
the load. The power good condition is signalled by the
GPIO pin using an open-drain pull-down transistor. The
GPIO pin can also be used as a general purpose input (GP
comparator) or output pin.
The Functional Diagram shows the monitoring blocks of
the LTC4260. The group of comparators on the left side
includes the UV, OV, RST, BP and ON comparators. These
comparators are used to determine if the external conditions are valid prior to turning on the FET. But first the two
undervoltage lockout circuits UVLO1 and UVLO2 must
validate the input supply and the internally generated 5.5V
supply (INTVCC) and generate the power up initialization to
the logic circuits.
Included in the LTC4260 is an 8-bit A/D converter. The
converter has a 3-input mux to select between the ADIN
pin, the SOURCE pin and the VDD – SENSE voltage.
An I2C interface is provided to read the A/D registers. It
also allows the host to poll the device and determine if
faults have occurred. If the ALERT line is used as an
interrupt, the host can respond to a fault in real time. The
typical SDA line is divided into an SDAI (input) and SDAO
(output). This simplifies applications using an optoisolator
driven directly from the SDAO output. The I2C device
address is decoded using the ADR0, ADR1 and ADR2 pins.
These inputs have three states each that decode into a total
of 27 device addresses.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The typical LTC4260 application is in a high availability
system that uses a positive voltage supply to distribute
power to individual cards. The device measures card
voltages and currents and records past and present fault
conditions. The system queries each LTC4260 over the I2C
periodically and reads the stored information.
The basic LTC4260 application circuit is shown in Figure 1. External component selection is discussed in detail
in the Design Example section.
Turn-On Sequence
The power supply on a board is controlled by placing an
external N-channel pass transistor (Q1) in the power path.
Note that sense resistor (RS) detects current and capacitor
C1 controls the GATE slew rate. Resistor R6 compensates
the current control loop while R5 prevents high frequency
oscillations in Q1. Resistors R1, R2 and R3 provide
undervoltage and overvoltage sensing.
Several conditions must be present before the external
switch can be turned on. First the external supply VDD
must exceed its undervoltage lockout level. Next the
internally generated supply INTVCC must cross its 4.5V
undervoltage threshold. This generates a 60µs to 120µs
power-on-reset pulse. During reset the fault registers are
cleared and the control registers are set or cleared as
described in the register section.
After the power-on-reset pulse, the LTC4260 will go
through the following turn-on sequence. First, the UV and
OV pins must indicate that the input power is within the
acceptable range and the BD_PRST pin must be pulled
low. All of these conditions must be satisfied for duration
of 100ms to ensure that any contact bounce during
insertion has ended.
When these initial conditions are satisfied, the ON pin is
checked. If it is high, the external switch turns on. If it is low,
the external switch turns on when the ON pin is brought high
or if a serial bus turn-on command is received.
The switch is turned on by charging up the GATE with a
18µA current source (Figure 2). The voltage at the GATE
pin rises with a slope equal to 18µA/C1 and the supply
inrush current is set at:
IINRUSH =
When the GATE voltage reaches the FET threshold voltage,
the switch begins to turn on and the SOURCE voltage
follows the GATE voltage as it increases.

Figure 2. Supply Turn-On
As the SOURCE voltage rises, so will the FB pin which is
monitoring it. If the voltage across the current sense
resistor RS gets too high, the inrush current will then be
limited by the internal current limit circuitry. Once the FB
pin crosses its 3.5V threshold, the GPIO pin, in its default
configuration, will cease to pull low and indicate that the
power is now good.
Turn-Off Sequence
The switch can be turned off by a variety of conditions. A
normal turn-off is initiated by the ON pin going low or a
serial bus turn-off command. Additionally, several fault
conditions will turn off the switch. These include an input
overvoltage (OV pin), input undervoltage (UV pin), overcurrent circuit breaker (SENSE pin) or BD_PRST going
high. Writing a logic one into the UV, OV or overcurrent
fault bits will also turn off the switch if their autoretry bits
are set to false.
Normally the switch is turned off with a 1mA current
pulling down the GATE pin to ground. With the switch
turned off, the SOURCE voltage drops and when the FB pin
crosses below its threshold, GPIO pulls low to indicate
that the output power is no longer good.
If the VDD pin falls below 7.5V for greater than 5µs or
INTVCC drops below 3.8V for greater than 1µs, a fast
shutdown of the switch is initiated. The GATE pin is pulled
down with a 600mA current to the SOURCE pin.
Overcurrent Fault
The LTC4260 features an adjustable current limit with
foldback that protects against short circuits or excessive
load current. To protect against excessive power dissipation in the switch during active current limit, the available
current is reduced as a function of the output voltage
sensed by the FB pin. The device also features a variable
overcurrent response time. A graph in the Typical Performance curves shows the delay from a voltage step at the
SENSE pin until the GATE voltage starts falling, as a
function of overdrive.
An overcurrent fault occurs when the current limit circuitry
has been engaged for longer than the time-out delay set by
the TIMER pin. Current limiting begins when the current
sense voltage between the VDD and SENSE pins reaches
20mV to 50mV (depending on the foldback). The GATE pin
is then brought down with a 600mA GATE-to-SOURCE
current. The voltage on the GATE is regulated in order to
limit the current sense voltage to less than 50mV. At this
point, a circuit breaker time delay starts by charging the
external timing capacitor from the TIMER pin with a 100µA
pull-up current. If the TIMER pin reaches its 1.2V threshold, the external switch turns off (with a 1mA current from
GATE to ground). The overcurrent present bit, C2, and the
overcurrent fault bit, D2, are set at this time.
The circuit breaker time delay is given by:
tCB = CT • 12 [ms/µF]
After the switch is turned off, the TIMER pin begins
discharging the timing capacitor with a 2µA pull-down
current. When the TIMER pin reaches its 0.2V threshold,
the overcurrent present bit, C2, is cleared, and the switch
will be allowed to turn on again if the overcurrent fault has
been cleared. However, if the overcurrent autoretry bit,
A2, has been set then the switch turns on again automatically (without resetting the overcurrent fault). Use a minimum value of 0.1nF for CT.
The waveform in Figure 3 shows how the output latches off
following a short circuit. The drop across the sense
resistor is held at 20mV as the timer ramps up.

Figure 3. Short-Circuit Waveforms
During a short circuit, if the current limit sense voltage
exceeds 150mV, the active current limit enters a high
current protection mode that immediately turns off the
output transistor by pulling the GATE-to-SOURCE voltage
to zero. Current in the output transistor drops from tens of
amps to zero in a few hundred nanoseconds. The input
voltage will drop during the high current and then spike
upwards due to parasitic inductances when the FET shuts
off (see Supply Transients). Following this event, the part
may turn on again after a delay (typically the 100ms
normal turn-on delay if the input voltage drops below the
UVLO threshold) and enters active current limit before
shutting off.
Overvoltage Fault
An overvoltage fault occurs when the OV pin rises above
its 3.5V threshold. This shuts off the switch immediately
(with a 1mA current from GATE to ground) and sets the
overvoltage present bit, C0, and the overvoltage fault bit
D0. If the OV pin subsequently falls back below the
threshold for 100ms, the switch will be allowed to turn on
again unless the overvoltage autoretry has been disabled
by clearing bit A0.
Undervoltage Fault
An undervoltage fault occurs when the UV pin falls below
its 3.12V threshold. This turns off the switch immediately
(with a 1mA current from GATE to ground) and sets the
undervoltage present bit, C1, and the undervoltage fault bit
D1. If the UV pin subsequently rises above the threshold
for 100ms, the switch will turn on again unless the
Whenever the BD_PRST pin toggles, bit D4 is set to
indicate a change of state. When the BD_PRST pin goes
high, indicating board removal, the switch turns off immediately (with a 1mA current from GATE to ground) and
clears the board present bit, C4. If the BD_PRST pin is
pulled low, indicating a board insertion, all fault bits except
D4 will be cleared and the board present bit, C4, is set. If
the BD_PRST pin remains low for 100ms the state of the
ON pin will be captured in the FET On Control bit A3. This
turns the switch on if the ON pin is tied high. There is an
internal 10µA pull-up current source on the BD_PRST pin.
If the system shuts down due to a fault, it may be desirable
to restart the system simply by removing and reinserting
a load card. In cases where the LTC4260 and the switch
reside on a backplane or midplane and the load resides on
a plug-in card, the BD_PRST pin can be used to detect
when the plug-in card is removed (see Figure 4). Once the
plug-in card is reinserted the fault register is cleared
(except for D4). After 100ms the state of the ON pin is
latched into bit A3 of the control register. At this point the
system will start up again.
If a connection sense on the plug-in card is driving the
BD_PRST pin, the insertion or removal of the card may
cause the pin voltage to bounce. This will result in
clearing the fault register when the card is removed. The
pin can be debounced using a filter capacitor, CBD_PRST,
on the BD_PRST pin as shown in Figure 4. The filter time
is given by:
tFILTER = CBD_PRST • 123 [ms/µF]
FET Short Fault
A FET short fault will be reported if the data converter
measures a current sense voltage greater than or equal to
2mV while the FET is turned off. This condition sets the FET
short present bit, C5, and the FET short fault bit D5.

Once the ALERT signal has been released for one fault, it
will not be pulled low again until the FAULT register

repeated or continuing faults will not generate alerts until
the associated FAULT register bit has been cleared.

Power Bad Fault
A power bad fault will be reported if the FB pin drops below
its 3.41V threshold while the FET is on. This pulls the GPIO
pin low immediately, when configured as PWRGD, and
sets the power bad present bit, C3, and the power bad fault
bit D3. A circuit will prevent a power bad fault if the GATEto-SOURCE voltage is low, eliminating false power bad
faults during power-up or power-down. If the FB pin
subsequently rises back above the threshold, the GPIO pin
will return to a high impedance state and bit C3 will be
cleared.
Fault Alerts
When any of the fault bits in FAULT register D are set, an
optional I2C bus alert can be generated by setting the
appropriate bit in the ALERT register B. This allows only
selected faults to generate alerts. At power-up the default
state is to not alert on faults. If an alert is enabled, the
corresponding fault will cause the ALERT pin to pull low.
After the bus master controller broadcasts the Alert Response Address, the LTC4260 responds with its address
on the SDA line and releases ALERT as shown in Figure 11.
If there is a collision between two LTC4260s responding
with their addresses simultaneously, then the device with
the lower address wins arbitration and responds first. The
ALERT line will also be released if the device is addressed
by the bus master.
Faults are reset with any of the following conditions. First,
a serial bus command writing zeros to the FAULT register
D will clear the associated faults. Second, the entire FAULT
register is cleared when the switch is turned off by either
the ON pin or bit A3 going from high to low, or if the UV pin
is brought below its 1.23V reset threshold, or if INTVCC
falls below its 3.8V undervoltage lockout threshold. Finally, when BD_PRST is brought from high to low, only
FAULT bits D0-D3 and D5 are cleared, the bit D4 that
indicates a BD_PRST change of state will be set. Faults that
are still present (as indicated in the STATUS Register C)
cannot be cleared.
The FAULT register will not be cleared when autoretrying.
When autoretry is disabled the existence of a D0, D1 or D2
fault keeps the switch off. As soon as the fault is cleared,
the switch will turn on. If autoretry is enabled, then a high
value in C0, C1 or C2 will hold the switch off and the FAULT
register is ignored. Subsequently, when the C0, C1 and C2
bits are cleared, the switch is allowed to turn on again
Data Converter
The LTC4260 incorporates an 8-bit data converter that
continuously monitors three different voltages. The
SOURCE pin uses a 1/40 resistive divider to monitor a fullscale voltage of 102.4V with 0.4V resolution (divider
converts 102.4V to 2.56V). The ADIN pin is monitored with
a 2.56V full scale and 10mV resolution, and the voltage
between the VDD and SENSE pins is monitored with a
76.8mV full scale and 300µV resolution.
The results from each conversion are stored in registers E,
F and G and are updated 10 times per second. Setting
CONTROL register bit A5 invokes a test mode that halts the
data converter updates so that registers E, F and G can be
written to and read from for software testing.

Gate Pin Voltage
Supply Transient Protection
A curve of gate drive vs VDD is shown in the Typical
Performance curves. At the minimum input supply voltage of 8.5V, the minimum gate drive voltage is 4.5V.
When the input supply voltage is higher than 20V, the gate
drive is at least 10V and a regular N-FET can be used. In
applications over a 8.5V to 20V range, a logic level N-FET
must be used to maintain adequate gate enhancement.
The GATE pin is clamped at a typical value of 15V above
the SOURCE pin.
The LTC4260 is 100% tested and guaranteed to be safe
from damage with supply voltages up to 100V. However,
spikes above 100V may damage the part. During a shortcircuit condition, the large change in currents flowing
through the power supply traces can cause inductive
voltage spikes which could exceed 100V. To minimize the
spikes, the power trace inductance should be minimized
by using wider traces or heavier trace plating. Adding a
snubber circuit will dampen the voltage spikes. It is built
using a 100Ω resistor in series with a 0.1µF capacitor
between VDD and GND. A surge suppressor, Z1 in Figure 1,
at the input will clamp the voltage spikes.
Configuring the GPIO Pin
Table 3 describes the possible states of the GPIO pin using
the control register bits A6 and A7. At power-up, the
default state is for the GPIO pin to go high impedance when
power is good (FB pin greater than 3.5V). Other uses for
the GPIO pin are to pull down when power is good, a
general purpose output and a general purpose input.
Compensating the Active Current Loop
The active current limit circuit is compensated using the
resistor R6 and the slew rate capacitor C1. The value for C1
is calculated to limit the inrush current. The suggested
value for R6 is 100k. This value should work for most pass
FETs (Q1). If the gate capacitance of Q1 is very small then
the best method to compensate the loop is to add a ≈10nF
capacitor between the GATE and SOURCE terminals.
Supply Transients
The LTC4260 is designed to ride through supply transients
caused by load steps. If there is a shorted load and the
parasitic inductance back to the supply is greater than
0.5µH, there is a chance that the supply could collapse
before the active current limit circuit brings down the
GATE pin. In this case the undervoltage monitors turn off
the pass FET. The undervoltage lockout circuit has a 5µs
filter time after VDD drops below 7.5V. The UV pin reacts
in 2µs to shut the GATE off, but it is recommended to add
a filter capacitor CF to prevent unwanted shutdown caused
by short transient. Eventually either the UV pin or the
undervoltage lockout responds to bring the current under
control before the supply completely collapses.

Default values of R5 = 10Ω and R6 = 100k are chosen as
discussed previously.
The power dissipated in the FET during overcurrent must
be limited. The active current limit uses a timer to prevent
excessive energy dissipation in the FET. The worst-case
power occurs when the voltage versus current profile of
the foldback current limit is at the maximum. This occurs
when the current is 5A and the voltage is 1/2 of the 48V or
24V. See the Current Limit Sense Voltage vs FB Voltage in
the Typical Performance curves to view this profile. In
order to survive 120W, the FET SOA curve dictates the
maximum time at this power level. This particular FET
allows 300W at 1ms or less. Therefore, it is acceptable to
set the current limit timeout using CT to be 0.81ms:
Layout Considerations
To achieve accurate current sensing, a Kelvin connection
is recommended. The minimum trace width for 1oz copper foil is 0.02" per amp to make sure the trace stays at a
reasonable temperature. Using 0.03" per amp or wider is
recommended. Note that 1oz copper exhibits a sheet
resistance of about 530µΩ/. Small resistances add up
quickly in high current applications. To improve noise
immunity, put the resistive divider to the UV, OV and FB
pins close to the device and keep traces to VDD and GND
short. It is also important to put C3, the bypass capacitor
for the INTVCC pin, as close as possible between INTVCC
and GND. A 0.1µF capacitor from the UV pin (and OV pin
through resistor R2) to GND also helps reject supply
noise. Figure 5 shows a layout that addresses these
issues. Note that a surge suppressor, Z1, is placed between supply and ground using wide traces.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Digital Interface
Acknowledge
The LTC4260 communicates with a bus master using a
2-wire interface compatible with the I2C bus and the
SMBus, an I2C extension for low power devices.
The acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between
the transmitter and the receiver to indicate that the last
byte of data was received. The transmitter always releases
the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse. When
the slave is the receiver, it must pull down the SDA line so
that it remains LOW during this pulse to acknowledge
receipt of the data. If the slave fails to acknowledge by
leaving SDA HIGH, then the master can abort the transmission by generating a STOP condition. When the master is
receiving data from the slave, the master must pull down
the SDA line during the clock pulse to indicate receipt of
the data. After the last byte has been received the master
will leave the SDA line HIGH (not acknowledge) and issue
a STOP condition to terminate the transmission.
The LTC4260 is a read-write slave device and supports
SMBus bus Read Byte, Write Byte, Read Word and Write
Word commands. The second word in a Read Word
command will be identical to the first word. The second
word in a Write Word command is ignored. The data
formats for these commands are shown in Figures 7 to10.
Using Optoisolators with SDA
The LTC4260 separates the SDA line into SDAI and SDAO.
If optoisolators are not used then tie SDAI and SDAO
together to construct a normal SDA line. When using
optoisolators connect the SDAI to the output of the incoming opto and connect the SDAO to the input of the outgoing opto (see Figure 13).
START and STOP Conditions
When the bus is idle, both SCL and SDA must be high. A
bus master signals the beginning of a transmission with a
START condition by transitioning SDA from high to low
while SCL is high. When the master has finished communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP condition by
transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL is high. The
bus is then free for another transmission.
I2C Device Addressing
Twenty-seven distinct bus address are configurable using
the three-state ADR0-ADR2 pins. Table 1 shows the
correspondence between pin states and addresses. Note
that address bits B7 and B6 are internally configured to 10.
In addition, the LTC4260 will respond to two special
addresses. Address (1011 111)b is a mass write used to
write to all LTC4260, regardless of their individual address
settings. The mass write can be masked by setting register
bit A4 to zero. Address (0001 100)b is the SMBus Alert
Response Address. If the LTC4260 is pulling low on the
ALERT pin, it will acknowledge this address using the
SMBus Alert Response Protocol.
Write Protocol
The master begins communication with a START condition followed by the seven bit slave address and the R/W
bit set to zero. The addressed LTC4260 acknowledges this
and then the master sends a command byte which indicates which internal register the master wishes to write.
The LTC4260 acknowledges this and then latches the
lower three bits of the command byte into its internal
Register Address pointer. The master then delivers the
data byte and the LTC4260 acknowledges once more and
latches the data into its internal register. The transmission
is ended when the master sends a STOP condition. If the
master continues sending a second data byte, as in a Write
Word command, the second data byte will be acknowledged by the LTC4260 but ignored.
Read Protocol
The master begins a read operation with a START condition followed by the seven bit slave address and the R/W
bit set to zero. The addressed LTC4260 acknowledges this
and then the master sends a command byte that indicates
which internal register the master wishes to read. The
LTC4260 acknowledges this and then latches the lower
three bits of the command byte into its internal Register
Address pointer. The master then sends a repeated START
condition followed by the same seven bit address with the
4260f
17
LTC4260
U
W
U U
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
R/W bit now set to one. The LTC4260 acknowledges and
sends the contents of the requested register. The transmission is ended when the master sends a STOP condition. If the master acknowledges the transmitted data byte,
as in a Read Word command, the LTC4260 will repeat the
requested register as the second data byte.
Note that the Register Address pointer is not cleared at the
end of the transaction. Thus the Receive Byte protocol can
be used to repeatedly read a specific register.
Alert Response Protocol
The LTC4260 implements the SMBus Alert Response
Protocol as shown in Figure 11. If enabled to do so through
the ALERT register B, the LTC4260 will respond to faults
by pulling the ALERT pin low. Multiple LTC4260s can
share a common ALERT line and the protocol allows a
master to determine which LTC4260s are pulling the line
low. The master begins by sending a START bit followed
SDA
a6 - a0
SCL
1-7
by the special Alert Response Address (0001 100)b with
the R/W bit set to one. Any LTC4260 that is pulling its
ALERT pin low will acknowledge and begin sending back
its individual slave address.
An arbitration scheme ensures that the LTC4260 with the
lowest address will have priority; all others will abort their
response. The successful responder will then release its
ALERT pin while any others will continue to hold their
ALERT pins low. Polling may also be used to search for any
LTC4260 that have detected faults. Any LTC4260 pulling
its ALERT pin low will also release it if it is individually
addressed during a read or write transaction.
The ALERT signal will not be pulled low again until the
FAULT register indicates a different fault has occurred or
the original fault is cleared and it occurs again. Note that
this means repeated or continuing faults will not generate
alerts until the associated FAULT register bit has been
cleared.
