DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®4241 is a Hot Swap controller that allows a board
to be safely inserted and removed from a live PCI-bus slot.
It has a primary controller that controls the four PCI
supplies and an independent auxiliary controller to control
the 3.3V auxiliary supply. External N-channel transistors
are used to control the 3.3V, 5V and 3.3V auxiliary supplies
while on-chip switches control the –12V and 12V supplies.
The 3.3V, 5V and 3.3V auxiliary supplies can be ramped up
at an adjustable rate. Electronic circuit breakers protect all
five supplies against overcurrent faults. The foldback
current limit feature reduces current spikes and power
dissipation when shorts occur. The PWRGD output of the
primary controller indicates when all four PCI supplies are
within tolerance. The FAULT output indicates an overcurrent
condition for any of the five supplies.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2 : All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3 : An internal zener on the AUXGATE pin clamps the charge pump
voltage to a typical maximum operating voltage of 12V. External overdrive
of the AUXGATE pin beyond the internal zener voltage may damage the
device.

12VIN (Pin 1): 12V Supply Input. This pin powers the
primary controller internal circuitry. A 0.5Ω switch is
connected between 12VIN and 12VOUT with a foldback
current limit. An undervoltage lockout circuit prevents the
switches from turning on while the 12VIN pin voltage is
less than 9V.
VEEIN (Pin 2): –12V Supply Input. A 1.2Ω switch is
connected between VEEIN and VEEOUT with a foldback
current limit.
3VOUT (Pin 3): 3.3V Output Monitor. Used to monitor the
3.3V output supply voltage. The PWRGD signal cannot go
low until the 3VOUT pin exceeds 2.9V.
TIMER (Pin 4): Current Limit Fault Timer Input. Connect a
capacitor from TIMER to ground. With the primary controller turned off (ON = GND) or the internal circuit breaker
tripped due to a PCI supply fault (FAULT = low), the TIMER
pin is internally held at ground. When the primary controller is turned on, a 22µA pull-up current source is connected to TIMER. Current limit faults from the PCI supplies
will be ignored until the voltage at the TIMER pin rises to
within 0.9V of 12VIN.
ON (Pin 5): On Control Input. A rising edge turns on the
external N-channel FETs for 3.3V and 5V PCI supplies, the
internal 12V and –12V switches and a falling edge turns it
off. If the ON pin is cycled low then high following the trip
of the circuit breaker due to a PCI supply fault, the circuit
breaker is reset.
FAULT (Pin 6): Fault Output. Open drain logic output used
by both the primary and auxiliary controller to indicate an
overcurrent fault condition. When any of the PCI and 3.3V
auxiliary supplies are in current limit fault, the controller
detecting the fault (primary or auxiliary) will be latched off
and the FAULT pin will be pulled low. Current limit faults
from the PCI supplies are ignored while the voltage at the
TIMER pin is less than (12VIN – 0.9V). The current limit
fault detected by the primary controller will not cause the
auxiliary controller to latch off and vice versa.
PWRGD (Pin 7): Power Good Output. Open drain logic
output used by the primary controller to indicate the
voltage status of the PCI supplies. PWRGD remains low
while V12VOUT ≥ 11.1V, V3VOUT ≥ 2.9V, V5VOUT ≥ 4.65V,
VVEEOUT ≤ –10.5V. When one of the supplies falls below its
power good threshold voltage, PWRGD will go high after
a 15µs deglitching time. The switches will not be turned off
when PWRGD goes high.
GND (Pin 8): Chip Ground
AUXGATE (Pin 9): High Side Gate Drive for the 3.3V
Auxiliary External N-channel MOSFET. An internal charge
pump generates at least 8V of gate drive from a 3.3V
auxiliary supply. A zener clamps AUXGATE approximately
12V above the supply voltage at AUXIN. The rise time at
AUXGATE is set by an external AUXGATE capacitor connected to ground and an internal 10µA current source
provided by the charge pump. If the circuit breaker trips or
the auxiliary supply voltage hits the undervoltage lockout
threshold, a 50mA current sink rapidly pulls AUXGATE
low.
AUXSENSE (Pin 10): 3.3V Auxiliary Circuit Breaker Current Sense Input. The load current is monitored by a sense
resistor connected between AUXIN and AUXSENSE. The
circuit breaker trips if the voltage across the sense resistor
exceeds 50mV and the AUXGATE pin voltage will be turned
off.
AUXIN (Pin 11): 3.3V Auxiliary Supply Input. This pin
powers the auxiliary controller internal circuitry. An
undervoltage lockout circuit disables the AUXGATE pin
until the supply voltage at AUXIN is greater than 2.6V.
AUXGATE is held at ground potential until the undervoltage
lockout deactivates. If no 3.3V auxiliary supply is available,
tie AUXIN to ground.
AUXON (Pin 12): ON Control Input for Auxiliary Supply. A
rising edge turns on the external N-channel FET for 3.3V
auxiliary supply and a falling edge turns it off. If the AUXON
pin is cycled low then high following the trip of the circuit
breaker due to a 3.3V auxiliary supply fault, the circuit
breaker is reset.
3VIN (Pin 13): 3.3V Supply Sense Input. An undervoltage
lockout circuit prevents the switches from turning on
when the voltage at the 3VIN pin is less than 2.5V. If no 3.3V
input supply is available, tie 3VIN to the 5VIN pin.
3VSENSE (Pin 14): 3.3V Current Limit Set Pin. With a sense
resistor placed in the supply path between 3VIN and
3VSENSE, the GATE pin voltage will be adjusted to maintain
sn4241 4241f

a constant voltage across the sense resistor and a
constant current through the switch. A foldback feature
makes the current limit decrease as the voltage at the
3VOUT pin approaches ground. To disable the current limit,
3VSENSE and 3VIN can be shorted together.
GATE (Pin 15): High Side Gate Drive for the 3.3V and 5V
PCI Supplies External N-channel MOSFETs. Requires an
external series RC network for the current limit loop
compensation and setting the minimum ramp-up rate.
During power-up, the slope of the voltage rise at the GATE
is set by the internal 60µA pull up current source and the
external GATE capacitor connected to ground. During
power-down, the slope of the falling voltage is set by the
200µA current source connected to ground and the external GATE capacitor.
5VSENSE (Pin 16): 5V Current Limit Set Pin. With a sense
resistor placed in the supply path between 5VIN and
5VSENSE, the GATE pin voltage will be adjusted to maintain
a constant voltage across the sense resistor and a constant current through the switch. A foldback feature makes
the current limit decrease as the voltage at the 5VOUT pin
approaches ground. To disable the current limit, 5VSENSE
and 5VIN can be shorted together.
5VIN (Pin 17): 5V Supply Sense Input. Used to monitor the
5V input supply voltage. An undervoltage lockout circuit
prevents the switches from turning on when the voltage at
the 5VIN pin is less than 3.9V.
5VOUT (Pin 18): 5V Output Monitor. Used to monitor the
5V output supply voltage. The PWRGD signal cannot go
low until the 5VOUT pin exceeds 4.65V.
VEEOUT (Pin 19): –12V Supply Output. A 1.2Ω switch is
connected between VEEIN and VEEOUT. VEEOUT must
fall below –10.5V before the PWRGD signal can go low on
the LTC4241.
12VOUT (Pin 20): 12V Supply Output. A 0.5Ω switch is
connected between 12VIN and 12VOUT. 12VOUT must
exceed 11.1V before the PWRGD signal can go low on the

Hot Circuit Insertion
When a circuit board is inserted into a live PCI slot, the
supply bypass capacitors on the board can draw huge
transient currents from the PCI power bus as they charge
up. The transient currents can cause permanent damage
to the connector pins and glitches the power bus, causing
other boards in the system to reset.
The LTC4241 is designed to turn a board’s supply voltages
on and off in a controlled manner, allowing the board to be
safely inserted or removed from a live PCI slot without
glitching the system power supplies. The chip also protects the PCI supplies from shorts and monitors the
supply voltages.
The LTC4241 is designed for motherboard applications
and includes an additional independent controller for the
3.3V auxiliary supply.
LTC4241 Feature Summary
8. Fault control: the current limit fault detected by either
the primary or auxiliary controller will not cause the other
controller to latch off. Both controllers use the FAULT
output to indicate a fault condition.
9. Space saving 20-pin narrow SSOP package.
PCI Power Requirements
PCI systems usually require four power rails: 5V, 3.3V,
–12V and 12V. Systems implementing the 3.3V signaling
environment are usually required to provide all four rails in
every system.
A 3.3V auxiliary supply is added in the PCI system to power
PCI logic functions that need to remain active when the
rest of the system is unpowered.
The tolerance of the supplies as measured at the components is summarized in Table 1.

3. Adjustable foldback current limit for PCI supplies: an
adjustable analog current limit with a value that depends
on the output voltage. If the output is shorted to ground,
the current limit drops to keep power dissipation and
supply glitches to a minimum.
4. Electronic circuit breaker for all supplies: if a supply
remains in current limit for too long, the circuit breaker will
trip, the supplies will be turned off and the FAULT pin
pulled low.
5. Current limit power-up: the four PCI supplies are
allowed to power up in current limit. This allows the chip
to power up boards with a wide range of capacitive loads
without tripping the circuit breaker. The maximum allowable power-up time is programmable using the TIMER pin.

7. Power good output: monitors the voltage status of the
four PCI supply voltages. The 3.3V auxiliary supply is not

Power-Up Sequence for PCI Power Supplies
The PCI power supplies are controlled by placing external
N-channel pass transistors in the 3.3V and 5V power
paths, and internal pass transistors for the 12V and –12V
power paths (Figure 1).
Resistors R1 and R2 provide a current signal for fault
detection and R7 and C1 provide current control loop
compensation. Resistors R4 and R5 prevent high frequency oscillations in Q1 and Q2.
When the ON pin is pulled high, the GATE pin is pulled high
by an internal 60µA current source and the pass transistors are allowed to turn on. The internal 12V and –12V
switches are also turned on and a 22µA current source is
connected to the TIMER pin (Figure 2).

Figure 3. Normal Power-Down Sequence
Figure 2. Normal Power-Up Sequence
The current in each pass transistor increases until it
reaches the current limit for each supply. Each supply is
allowed to power up at the rate dV/dt = 60µA/C1 or as
determined by the current limit and the load capacitance
on the supply line, whichever is slower. Current limit faults
are ignored while the TIMER pin voltage is ramping up and
is less than 0.9V below 12VIN. Once all four PCI supply
voltages are within tolerance, the PWRGD pin will pull low.
Power-Down Sequence for PCI Power Supplies
When the ON pin is pulled low, a power-down sequence
begins for all the PCI power supplies (Figure 3).
Internal switches are connected to each of the output
supply voltage pins to discharge the load capacitors to
ground. The TIMER pin is immediately pulled low and the
internal 12V and –12V switches are turned off. The GATE
pin is pulled to ground by an internal 200µA current
source. This turns off the external pass transistors in a
controlled manner and prevents the load current on the
3.3V and 5V supplies from going to zero instantaneously
and glitching the power supply voltages. When any of the
output voltages dips below its threshold, the PWRGD pin
pulls high.
4241 F03
Timer
During a power-up sequence for the PCI power supplies,
a 22µA current source is connected to the TIMER pin and
current limit faults are ignored until the voltage ramps to
within 0.9V of 12VIN. This feature allows the chip to power
up a PCI slot that can accommodate boards with a wide
range of capacitive loads on the supplies. The power-up
time for any one of the four outputs will be:
C
•V 
tON ≅ 2 •  LOAD OUT 
 ILIMIT – ILOAD 
For example, for CLOAD = 2000µF, VOUT = 5V, ILIMIT = 7A,
ILOAD = 5A, the 5VOUT turn-on time will be ~10ms. By
substituting the variables in the above equation with the
appropriate values, the turn-on time for the other three
outputs can be calculated. The timer period should be set
longer than the maximum supply turn-on time but short
enough to not exceed the maximum safe operating area of
the pass transistor during a short-circuit. The timer period
is given by:

C TIMER • 11.1V

For CTIMER = 0.1µF, the timer period will be ~50ms. The
TIMER pin is immediately pulled low when ON goes low.
Thermal Shutdown
The internal switches for the 12V and –12V supplies are
protected by an internal current limit and thermal shutdown circuit. When the temperature of the chip reaches
150°C, only the switches controlling the PCI supplies will
be latched off and the FAULT pin will be pulled low.
Short-Circuit Protection for PCI Power Supplies
During a normal power-up sequence for the PCI power
supplies, if the TIMER is done ramping and any supply is
still in current limit, all of the pass transistors will be
immediately turned off, the TIMER and FAULT pin will be
pulled low as shown in Figure 4.
spikes — for example, from a fan turning on — from
causing false trips of the circuit breaker. The chip will stay
in the latched-off state until the ON pin is cycled low then
high, or the 12VIN supply is cycled.
To prevent excessive power dissipation in the pass transistors and to prevent voltage spikes on the supplies
during short-circuit conditions, the current limit on each
PCI supply, except the 3.3V auxiliary supply, is designed
to be a function of the output voltage. As the output voltage
drops, the current limit decreases. Unlike a traditional
circuit breaker function where huge currents can flow
before the breaker trips, the current foldback feature
assures that the supply current will be kept at a safe level
and prevent voltage glitches when powering up into a
short.

Figure 4. Power-Up into a Short on 3.3V Output
Figure 5. Short-Circuit on 5V Followed by Circuit Breaker Reset
If a short-circuit occurs after the PCI supplies are powered
up, the shorted supply’s current will drop immediately to
the limit value (Figure 5).
The current limit and the foldback current level for the 5V
and 3.3V outputs are both a function of the external sense
resistor (R1 for 5VOUT and R2 for 3VOUT, see Figure 1). As
shown in Figure 1, a sense resistor is connected between
5VIN and 5VSENSE for the 5V supply. For the 3V supply, a
sense resistor is connected between 3VIN and 3VSENSE.
If the supply remains in current limit for more than 17µs,
all of the PCI supplies except the 3.3V auxiliary supply will
be latched off. The 17µs delay prevents quick current

The current limit for the internal 12V switch is set at

In systems where it is possible to exceed the current limit
for a short amount of time, it might be necessary to
prevent the analog current loop from responding quickly
so the output voltage does not droop. This can be accomplished by adding an RC filter across the sense resistor as
shown in Figure 6. RF should be 20Ω or less to prevent
offset errors. A capacitor, CF, of 0.1µF gives a delay of
about 1.5µs and a 1µF capacitor gives a delay of about
15µs.

GATE 5VOUT
When power is first applied to VAUXIN, the AUXGATE pin
pulls low. A low-to-high transition at the AUXON pin
initiates the AUXGATE ramp up (Figure 7). The AUXGATE
is pulled high by an internal 10µA current source and the
pass transistor is allowed to turn on. As the auxiliary
controller does not have the foldback current limit feature
and timer control, the inrush supply current during powerup is limited by ramping the gate of the pass transistor at
a controlled rate (dV/dt = 10µA/C3) where C3 is the total
external capacitance between AUXGATE and ground.
With proper selection of the C3 capacitance value, the
inrush current (I = CLOAD • dV/dt = 10µA • CLOAD/C3) is
limited to a value less than the current limit set by the sense
resistor R3. This prevents the circuit breaker from tripping
during power-up. CLOAD is the total load capacitance on
the 3.3V auxiliary supply line. For example, for C3 = 10nF,
CLOAD = 470µF, R3 = 0.07Ω, ILIMIT = 0.7A, the inrush
current will be 0.47A < ILIMIT. The ramp-up time for
3.3VAUX output to reach its final value is equal to
t = (VAUXIN • C3)/10µA.
A high-to-low transition at the AUXON pin initiates a
AUXGATE ramp-down at a slope of –200µA/C3 as the
AUXGATE is pulled to ground by an internal 200µA current
source. This will allow the load capacitance on the supply
line to discharge while the AUXGATE pulls low to turn off
the external N-channel pass transistor.

Electronic Circuit Breaker for 3.3V Auxiliary Supply
Supply Bypass Capacitors
An electronic circuit breaker is used to protect against
excessive load current and short-circuits on the 3.3V
auxiliary supply. The load current is monitored by placing
a sense resistor R3 between AUXIN and AUXSENSE as
shown in Figure 1. The circuit breaker trip threshold is
50mV and exhibits a response time of 8µs. Unlike the PCI
supplies which use the current foldback limit with circuit
breaker during short-circuits, here the circuit breaker will
trip and immediately pull AUXGATE to ground if the
voltage between AUXIN and AUXSENSE exceeds 50mV for
more than 8µs. The external N-channel transistor is turned
off and FAULT is pulled low. The circuit breaker is reset
when AUXON is cycled low then high, or the AUXIN supply
is cycled. If the circuit breaker feature is not required, the
AUXSENSE pin can be shorted to AUXIN.
In motherboard applications, large bypass capacitors are
recommended at each of the system power supplies to
minimize supply glitches as a result of board insertion. A
supply bypass capacitor of ≥100µF at 12VIN connection is
recommended.
The trip current of the circuit breaker is set by:

For proper circuit breaker operation, 4-wire Kelvin-sense
connections between the sense resistor and the LTC4241’s
5VIN and 5VSENSE pins, 3VIN and 3VSENSE pins and AUXIN
and AUXSENSE pins are strongly recommended. The
drawing in Figure 8 illustrates the correct way of making
connections between the LTC4241 and the sense resistor.
PCB layout should be balanced and symmetrical to minimize wiring errors. In addition, the PCB layout for the
sense resistors and the power MOSFETs should include
good thermal management techniques for optimal sense
resistor power dissipation.
Power MOSFET and Sense Resistor Selection
If more than 8µs of response time is needed to reject
supply current ripple noise, an external resistor, RF, of
20Ω and capacitor, CF, of 1µF (Figure 6) can be added to
the AUXSENSE circuit. This will give a delay of 15µs.
