Connect this pin to an external sense resistor. The current limit circuit controls GATEn to limit the voltage between VCCn and SENSEn to 25mV. An Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB) is active during current limiting and trips after 5ms. To disable current limit, connect this pin to VCCn. ground. During short-circuits, a 125mA pulldown current is activated to discharge GATE to ground. FAULT (Pin 4): Fault Status Output. Open-drain output that is normally pulled high to VCC1 or VCC2 by an external resistor. It is pulled low when the ECB trips due to an overcurrent condition at either supply. This pin may be left open if unused. VCC1, VCC2 (Pins 2, 9): Supply Voltage and Current Sense Input. An undervoltage lockout circuit disables the part until VCC , the higher of VCC1 and VCC2, exceeds 2.4V. The lower supply is disabled until it exceeds 0.8V. ON1, ON2 (Pins 5, 6): On Control Input. A falling edge turns on the external N-channel MOSFET and a rising edge turns it off. A low to high transition on this pin resets an ECB fault for the corresponding channel. Internally pulled up to VCC by a 10μA current source. GATE1, GATE2 (Pins 3, 8): Gate Drive for External N-channel MOSFET. A charge pump sources 10μA from GATE to turn on the external MOSFET. An internal clamp limits the gate voltage to 5.5V above the higher of VCC1 and VCC2. During turn-off, a 1.5mA pulldown current discharges GATE to GND (Pin 7): Device Ground. Exposed Pad (DFN Package Only): Exposed Pad may be left open or connected to device ground.

The undervoltage monitor shuts off the external MOSFET when the corresponding supply is too low. The LTC4224 is designed to control power on a live backplane, allowing boards to be safely inserted and removed. It controls two supplies (VCC1, VCC2) with operating voltages between 1V and 6V via two external N-channel MOSFETs. For applications where the total load current is 5A or less, dual MOSFETs such as the FDS6911 can be used to save board area. The two supplies can be turned on and off independently using the active low ON1 and ON2 pins. Internal 10μA current sources pull these pins to VCC. Current is monitored by an active current limit amplifier (ACL) and a timed electronic circuit breaker (ECB). Like all timing delays in the LTC4224, the ECB delay of 5ms is generated internally without requiring any external timing capacitors. The ECB threshold is slightly below the ACL threshold and shuts off the external MOSFET after 5ms. FAULT is latched low to indicate an overcurrent fault. Pulling the ON pin low turns on a charge pump which sources 10μA at the GATE pin thereby ramping up the gate of the external MOSFET. When the MOSFET turns on, the inrush current is limited at a level set by an external sense resistor. Inrush current can be further reduced, if desired, by adding a capacitor from GATE to GND. To protect the external MOSFET, the GATE pins are clamped to about 5.5V above the higher of the two supplies. The LTC4224-1 remains latched off until reset by either turning off and then on the affected supply or its ON pin. The LTC4224-2 automatically restarts after four seconds to allow time for the MOSFET to cool down. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The basic LTC4224 application circuit is shown in Figure 1. The following sections cover VCC selection, the normal turn-on and turn-off sequence, various fault conditions and recovery from fault situations. External component selection is discussed in detail in the Design Example section. The typical LTC4224 application is in a high availability system where two positive supply voltages are distributed to power individual cards. The LTC4224 detects board presence during insertion and removal, allowing power to be delivered in a controlled manner without damaging the connector. It reports overcurrent faults to the system controller through its FAULT pin, which can light an LED or can be monitored by a system controller.

Typical Application 422412fa 6 LTC4224-1/LTC4224-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION VCC Selection The LTC4224 is powered from the higher of its two supply pins, VCC1 and VCC2.This allows the part to control a supply voltage as low as 1V, while the other supply is 2.7V or greater. If both supplies are tied together, the part derives its power from both equally. The Functional Diagram shows the VCC selection circuit in an ideal diode OR-ing arrangement. It is designed to ensure swift and smooth internal power switchover from one supply to the other. Turn-On Sequence Separate ON1 and ON2 pins allow the VCC1 and VCC2 supplies to be turned on in any order. The power supplies delivered to a plug-in card are controlled by external Nchannel MOSFETs, Q1 and Q2. For X2/XENPAK defined optical transceiver modules, it has been specified that the MOD DETECT pin pulls low inside the module through a 1k resistor (RMOD_DET), as shown in Figure 1. Several conditions must be satisfied to turn on the MOSFETs. First, VCC1 or VCC2 must exceed the 2.4V VCC undervoltage lockout level for longer than an internal UV turn-on delay of 160ms. Next, if VCCn is greater than 0.8V and ONn is low (<0.8V), a debounce delay of 10ms is started. If VCCn drops below 0.8V or ONn goes high before the end of the 10ms debounce delay, the debounce delay is restarted the next time these pins are properly conditioned. When the 10ms debounce delay expires, the external MOSFET is turned on by charging up the GATE with a 10μA charge pump generated current source. When the GATE voltage reaches the MOSFET threshold voltage, the inrush current can build up quickly as the GATE continues to rise. The ACL amplifier actively controls the gate voltage to maintain 25mV across the sense resistor. In this condition, the inrush current is given by: 25mV IINRUSH = RSENSE As the inrush current charges up the load capacitor, the output rises with a corresponding increase in gate voltage. When the supply is no longer in current limit, an internal charge pump pulls the gate to 5.5V above the higher of VCC1 or VCC2 to achieve a low resistance power path. Figure 2 shows a typical start-up sequence with CLOAD1 = CLOAD2 = 150μF, RLOAD1 = 4.7Ω and RLOAD2 = 2Ω. The inrush current can be reduced to below the current limit level by adding an external gate capacitor as shown in Figure 3. GATE capacitor CGATE provides gate slew rate control to limit the inrush current. However, CGATE could cause parasitic high frequency self oscillation in Q1. A 10Ω resistor, RG, as shown in Figure 3 can be used to prevent the oscillation. To be effective, RG needs to be laid out close to Q1. The voltage at the GATE pin rises with a slope equal to IGATE / CGATE. For a given supply inrush current IINRUSH and load capacitor CLOAD, CGATE can be calculated according to: CGATE = IGATE IINRUSH • CLOAD ON1/2 2V/DIV R1 0.015Ω Q1 5V VOUT1 5V/DIV CLOAD VOUT2 5V/DIV VCC1 SENSE1 RG 10Ω IGATE GATE1 5V/DIV CGATE GATE1 GATE2 5V/DIV LTC4224 5ms/DIV 422412 F02 Figure 2.

Normal Power-Down Sequence the external sense resistor is monitored by the active current limit (ACL) amplifier and the electronic circuit breaker (ECB) comparator. An overcurrent condition results in the current being limited by the ACL amplifier. During current limiting, the ECB is activated and initiates a chain of logic and timing events to handle the fault. When ON1 or ON2 is pulled high, the corresponding GATE pin is pulled to ground by 1.5mA. With the MOSFET off, the load current discharges the load capacitor. Figure 4 shows VCC1 supply turning off by pulling ON1 high with RLOAD1 = 4.7Ω discharging CLOAD1 = 150μF. Figure 5 illustrates the LTC4224’s response to an overcurrent condition on one supply output. Start-up and overcurrent control for the two supplies are independent. Before time point t1, the ON pin is high and the part is in reset. When the ON pin goes low, a 10ms debounce delay is started. After 10ms (time point t2), the external MOSFET is turned on by charging GATE with 10μA. The load capacitor starts to charge up and the output voltage increases. At the same Overcurrent Fault The LTC4224 features an adjustable current limit with circuit breaker function that protects external MOSFETs against short circuits or excessive load current.

Overcurrent Fault on Output Figure 6. Start-Up with Short at Output time, a 5ms start-up blanking delay begins during which the circuit breaker is not allowed to latchoff the MOSFET. If the ECB is tripped at the end of 5ms (time point t3), the MOSFET is latched off by pulling GATE down with 1.5mA and FAULT is latched low. The waveform in Figure 6 shows an unsuccessful start-up due to a short circuit at the output. To ensure start-up, the load capacitor must be charged up sufficiently to exit current limit before the end of the 5ms blanking delay. For large load capacitors, it may be necessary to connect an external capacitor from GATE to GND as described in the Turn-On Sequence section. After start-up, any transient overcurrent faults lasting less than 100μs are ignored. Any overcurrent condition lasting more than 100μs will initiate the 5ms ECB blanking delay (time point t4). After the ECB blanking delay, the ECB is armed for the following 5ms (time point t5 to t6). Any 100μs overcurrent pulse during this time latches off the MOSFET. In summary, for 5ms to 10ms after a 100μs or greater overcurrent fault is detected, a second 100μs fault condition causes the MOSFET to latchoff. If no overcurrent condition is detected during this time, the part re-enters the IDLE state and another blanking delay following an overcurrent condition is again required before the MOSFET latches off. Figure 7 shows how the output latches off following an overcurrent fault. During a severe short-circuit (see Figure 8), the output load current can briefly surge to tens of amperes. The LTC4224 rapidly brings the current under control by discharging 422412 F07 GATE2 5V/DIV VOUT2 5V/DIV IOUT2 8A/DIV 0.5μs/DIV 422412 F08 Figure 8. Severe Short-Circuit on Output the MOSFET’s gate with 125mA towards ground. After a short delay, the ACL amplifier regulates the gate voltage until the ECB trips at the end of 5ms. Undervoltage Fault An undervoltage fault occurs if either VCC1 or VCC2 falls below 0.8V for longer than 8μs. This turns off the affected supply’s switch by discharging GATE with 1.5mA and clears its fault latch. An undervoltage fault on one supply does not affect the operation of the other supply. If VCC, the higher of VCC1 and VCC2, falls below 2.4V for more than 12μs, all supply switches are turned off and all fault latches are cleared. 422412fa 9 LTC4224-1/LTC4224-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION If there is significant supply lead inductance, a severe output short may collapse the input to ground before the LTC4224 can bring the current under control. In this case, the undervoltage lockout activates after an 8μs filter delay, and the GATE is pulled down by 1.5mA. Resetting Faults Following an overcurrent fault, the LTC4224-1 latches off while the LTC4224-2 automatically restarts after a four second cool down period. An overcurrent fault on either supply causes the ECB for that supply to turn off the MOSFET and pull the FAULT pin low. Faults are reset by pulling the ON pin high for at least 20μs, after which the FAULT pin releases and the turn-on sequence begins. Taking the lower supply below VCCLO(UVL) clears only that supply’s fault and the turn-on sequence commences immediately. Pulling the higher supply below VCC(UVL) clears both supplies’ faults and the turn-on sequence begins after a 160ms UV turn-on delay. When both supplies are above 2.5V, either supply going low only resets its own fault. For the auto-retry version (LTC4224-2), if the fault is not cleared within four seconds, the latched fault will be cleared automatically. FAULT will go high and the turn-on sequence will begin. A persistent fault results in an auto-retry duty cycle of about 0.1%. Figure 9 shows an auto-retry sequence as a result of an overcurrent fault. Gate Pin Voltage The gate drive is compatible with logic level MOSFETs, but caution is required if one supply is low. The guaranteed range of gate drive is 4.5V to 7V, with a typical value of 5.5V. Each GATE pin is clamped with respect to VCC, the higher of the two input supplies. When VCC is at 5V, both GATE pins can be as high as 12V above ground. If the lower supply is at 0V, the gate-to-source voltage of its MOSFET can be 12V. In such applications, MOSFETs with gate-to-source breakdown ratings of 12V or greater are recommended. Active Current Loop Compensation The active current loop is compensated by the parasitic capacitance of the external MOSFET. No further compensation components are normally required. In the case where a MOSFET with less than 600pF of gate capacitance is chosen, a 600pF compensation capacitor connected between the GATE pin and ground may be required. Supply Transient Protection In applications where the supply inputs are fed directly from the regulated output of the backplane supply, bulk bypassing assures a spike-free operating environment. In other applications where bulk bypassing is located far from the LTC4224, spikes generated during output shortcircuit events could exceed the absolute maximum ratings for VCC. To minimize such spikes, use wider traces or heavier trace plating to reduce the power trace inductance.

A 10Ω, 100nF snubber damps the response and eliminates ringing. A recommended layout of the transient protection devices Z1, RSNUB and CSNUB around the LTC4224 is shown in Figure 11. PCB Layout Considerations For proper operation of the LTC4224’s electronic circuit breaker, Kelvin connections to the sense resistors are strongly recommended. The PCB layout should be balanced and symmetrical to minimize wiring errors. In addition, the 3.3V 5V R2 R1 8 11 5 2 6 1 9 7 8 10 PCB layout for the sense resistors and the power MOSFETs should include good thermal management techniques for optimal device power dissipation. A recommended PCB layout for the sense resistors and the power MOSFET around the LTC4224 is illustrated in Figure 12. Note that it is important to keep the trace from the LTC4224’s GATE pin to the FDS6911’s gate short. In Hot Swap applications where load currents can be 10A, wide PCB traces are recommended to minimize resistance and temperature rise. The suggested trace width for 1oz copper foil is 0.03" for each ampere of DC current to keep PCB trace resistance, voltage drop and temperature rise to a minimum. Note that the sheet resistance of 1oz copper foil is approximately 0.5mΩ/square and voltage drops due to trace resistances add up quickly in high current applications. In most applications, it is necessary to use plated-through vias to make circuit connections from component layers to power and ground layers internal to the PCB. For 1oz copper foil plating, a general rule is 1A of DC current per via. Consult your PCB fabrication facility for design rules pertaining to other plating thicknesses. Design Example As a design example, consider the following specifications: VCC1 = 5V, VCC2 = 3.3V, ILOAD1(MAX) = 1A, ILOAD2(MAX) = 2A, CLOAD1 = CLOAD2 = 150μF (see Figure 1). First, select the sense resistor for each supply. Calculate the R1 and R2 values based on the maximum load current and the minimum circuit breaker threshold limit, ΔVSENSE(CB)(MIN). If a 1% tolerance is assumed for the sense resistors, then the following values of resistance should suffice: FDS6911 3 4 3 5 2 4 6 1 7 LTC4224 BOTTOM SIDE TOP SIDE 422412 F12 Figure 12. Recommended Layout for Power MOSFET and Sense Resistors Table 2.

As there is no gate capacitor, the supplies start-up in current limit. Compute the time, tSU, it takes to fully charge the load capacitor: t SU = VCC • CLOAD ITRIP Table 3 lists the worst-case tSU values assuming 30% tolerance for load capacitances. Table 3. Worst-Case tSU VOLTAGE SUPPLY tSU(MIN) tSU(MAX) 5V 0.53ms 0.65ms 3.3V 0.23ms 0.29ms The start-up ECB blanking delay is guaranteed to be at least 2.5ms, which is longer than the tSU tabulated in Table 3. Hence, both supplies can start up successfully. Next, verify that the thermal ratings of the selected external MOSFETs are not exceeded during power-up or an output short-circuit. Assuming the MOSFET dissipates power only due to inrush current charging the load capacitor, the energy dissipated in the MOSFET during power-up is the same as that stored in the load capacitor after power-up. The average power dissipated in the MOSFET is given by: PAVG = The worst-case PAVG is calculated to be 4.6W for both the 5V supply and the 3.3V supply. In this example, the FDS6911 MOSFET offers a good solution. Since this MOSFET is a dual N-channel in a single SO8 package, it must be able to tolerate the combined power dissipation of both supplies during the tSU start-up time. The increase in steady-state junction temperature due to power dissipated in the MOSFET is ΔT = PAVG•ZTH where ZTH is the thermal impedance. Under this condition, the FDS6911 datasheet’s Transient Thermal Impedance plot indicates that the junction temperature will increase by 6.4°C using ZTHJC = 0.7°C/W (single pulse). The FDS6911’s on-resistance is 17mΩ at VGS = 4.5V, 25°C. The magnitude of the power pulse that results during a severe overload is calculated to be 9.25W for the 5V supply and 9.2W for the 3.3V supply under the worst case conditions. Assuming a worst-case circuit breaker timeout period of 7.5ms, the junction temperature will increase by 25°C, with one supply short-circuited. If both supplies are short-circuited, the junction temperature will increase by 50°C in the worst-case. During auto-retry (LTC4224-2), in the event of persistent faults at both supplies, the ample four second cooling delay limits the increase in junction temperature to 50°C. The SOA curves of the FDS6911 indicate that the above conditions are safe.
