GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM1070 is a negative voltage hot swap controller that
allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live
–48 V backplane. The part achieves this by providing robust
current limiting, protection against transient and nontransient
short circuits and overvoltage and undervoltage conditions. The
ADM1070 typically operates from a negative voltage of up to
–80 V and can tolerate transient voltages of up to –200 V.
In-rush current is limited to a programmable value by controlling the gate drive of an external N-channel FET. The current
limit can be controlled by the choice of the sense resistor,
RSENSE. Added control of the in-rush current is provided by an
on-chip timer that uses pulsewidth modulation to allow the
maximum current to flow for only 3% of the time. An autorestart
occurs after a current limit timeout. After seven successive
autorestarts, the fault will be latched and the part goes into
shutdown with the result that the external FET is disabled until
the power is reset.

The ADM1070 also features single-pin undervoltage and overvoltage detection. The FET is turned off if a nontransient
voltage less than the undervoltage threshold, typically –36 V, or
greater than the overvoltage threshold, typically –77 V, is detected
on the UV/OV Pin. The operating voltage window of the
ADM1070 is programmable and is determined by the ratio R1/R2.
Time filtering on the undervoltage and overvoltage detection
and current limiting is programmable via the TIMER Pin. An
external capacitor connected between the TIMER Pin and VEE
determines the undervoltage/overvoltage time filter and the
timeout in current limit. If the pin is tied to VEE, the time filter
values and the current limit timeout revert to default figures.
The ADM1070 is fabricated using BiCMOS technology for minimal power consumption. The part is available in a small
6-Lead SOT-23 package.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Mnemonic
Function
1
SENSE
Connection to External FET Source Voltage. A sense resistor is connected in the supply path
between the SENSE Pin and VEE, and the voltage across this resistor is monitored to detect current
faults. This voltage is fed as an input to the linear current regulator. When it reaches 100 mV for
a specified period, tON, the regulator reduces the gate voltage and drives the FET as a linear pass
device. If current monitoring is not required, this feature can be turned off by shorting the
SENSE Pin and VEE together.
2
VEE
Device Negative Supply Voltage. This pin should be connected to the lower potential of the
power supply.
3
VIN
Shunt Regulated On-Chip Supply, Nominally VEE + 12.3 V. This pin should be current fed
through a dropper resistor that is connected to the higher potential of the power supply inputs.
4
TIMER
Allows User Control over Timing Functions by Determining Frequency of Oscillator. Frequency set by connecting external capacitor to VEE. Tying pin directly to VEE causes oscillator to
default to internally set value.
5
UV/OV
Input Pin for Overvoltage and Undervoltage Detection Circuitry. The voltage appearing on the
UV/OV Pin is proportional to board supply and is determined by external resistors. When the
voltage on UV/OV falls below the undervoltage threshold of 0.86 V, the GATE Pin is driven low.
When the voltage appearing at the UV/OV Pin rises above the overvoltage threshold of 1.97 V,
the GATE Pin is also driven low. If the external resistor ratio of R1/R2 = 40 is used, then this
gives an operating range of –36 V to –77 V.
6
GATE
Output to External FET Gate Drive. Controlled by linear current regulator. The gate is driven
low if an overvoltage or undervoltage fault occurs or if a current fault lasts for longer than the
time, tON. When in linear regulation, the GATE Pin voltage is controlled as part of the servo loop.
No external compensation is required. When the FET is fully enhanced and the load capacitance
has been charged, the GATE Pin reaches a high level of typically 12 V.

ADM1070
Figure 2 shows how a plug-in module containing the ADM1070
makes connection to the backplane supply. When the board is
inserted, the –48 V and 0 V lines connect. This powers up the
device with the voltage on VIN exceeding VLKO.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
HOT CIRCUIT INSERTION
Inserting circuit boards into a live –48 V backplane can cause large
transient currents to be drawn as the board capacitance charges up.
These transient currents can cause glitches on the system power
supply and can permanently damage components on the board.
When the voltage at the UV/OV Pin exceeds undervoltage rising
threshold (VUVR) of 0.91 V, it is now inside the operating voltage window. It must stay inside this window for the duration of
the power-on reset delay time, tPOR, which is dependent on the
value of CT.
The ADM1070 is designed to control the manner in which a
board’s supply voltage is applied so that harmful transient currents
do not occur and the board can be safely inserted or removed from
a live backplane. Undervoltage, overvoltage, and overcurrent protection are other features of the part. The ADM1070 ensures that
the input voltage is stable and within tolerance before being applied
to the dc-to-dc converter, which generates the low voltage levels
required to power the on-board logic. One such converter is the
Artesyn EXQ50. Go to www.artesyn.com for more information.
When the device detects that the supply voltage is valid, it ramps
up the gate voltage until the FET turns on and the load current
increases. The ADM1070 monitors the level of the current flowing
through the FET by sensing the voltage across the external
sense resistor, RSENSE. When the sense voltage reaches 100 mV,
the GATE Pin is actively controlled, limiting the load current.
In this way, the maximum current permitted to flow through the
load is set by the choice of RSENSE.
PLUG-IN BOARD

EXQ50
If a change in the level of the supply voltage causes UV/OV to
fall below the undervoltage falling threshold of VUVF, or rise
above the overvoltage rising threshold of VOVR, then the gate
drive will be disabled.

current through the load is monitored by measuring the voltage
across the sense resistor, which is connected between the SENSE
and VEE Pins. There are three different types of protection offered:
Figure 1. Topology
INITIAL STARTUP
The ADM1070 hot swap controller normally resides on a removable circuit board and controls the manner in which power is
applied to the board upon connection. This is achieved using a
FET, Q1, in the power path. By controlling the gate voltage of
the FET, the surge of current to charge load capacitance can be
limited to a safe value when the board makes connection. Note
that the ADM1070 can also reside on the backplane itself, and
perform the same function from there.
1. If the voltage across the sense resistor exceeds the circuit
breaker limit voltage of 88 mV (rising) for the current limit
on time (tLIMITON), then a current fault has occurred and the
PWM cycle begins. The FET current is linearly controlled at
a maximum of 100 mV/RSENSE (via the gate drive) during
tLIMITON (see next section). The gate is then disabled for the
duration tOFF. This PWM ratio, which will always be 3%, is
given by tON/tOFF.

A unique feature of the ADM1070 is the limited consecutive
retry function. An internal fault counter keeps track of the
number of successive PWM cycles that occur. The fault
counter is incremented after every fault is detected. If the
ADM1070 detects seven consecutive current faults, it is apparent that the fault is not a temporary one and the device
latches itself off. The fault counter is cleared if a new tON
timeout does not occur within 2 ⫻ tOFF of the previous
tLIMITON timeout.

SHUNT REGULATOR
2. If a voltage between the SENSE and VEE Pins increases to
100 mV (the analog current limit voltage) during tLIMITON,
then the ADM1070 takes action to reduce this current to a
safer level. The internal analog current limit loop dynamically adjusts the gate drive, keeping the load current at the
100 mV/RSENSE level. The FET now acts as a current
source, limiting the load current to the level set by the value
of the sense resistor.
A shunt regulator shunts the ADM1070 V IN Pin. Power is
derived from the –48 V supply through the combination of an
internal Zener diode and an external shunt resistor, R DROP.
Table II shows the operational voltage range and power dissipation for different values of RDROP. Note that 16 kΩ is the default
value for RDROP.
The sense voltage is also above the circuit breaker limit voltage,
so the limited consecutive retry function is still operational. If
the current fault is not cleared (sense resistor voltage brought
below 79 mV) after seven consecutive faults, then the device
is latched off.
3. If a serious short circuit occurs on the load side, the –48 V
supply can cause massive currents to flow very quickly.
Because of this, the gate voltage must be reduced quickly to
prevent a catastrophic failure. If the ADM1070 detects a
voltage greater than the fast current limit voltage (126 mV)
across the sense resistor, it is apparent that a serious short
circuit is present and the load current must be reduced as
quickly as possible. The fast current limit loop takes over and
pulls gate low much faster than in the previous case.
SENSE RESISTOR
The ADM1070’s current limiting function can operate at different current levels. The sense resistor is inserted between the VEE
and sense pins, and a current fault occurs whenever the voltage
across the sense resistor is greater than 100 mV for longer than
the on time, tLIMITON. The current limit is determined by selection of the sense resistor, R SENSE. Table I shows how the
maximum allowable load current (I LOAD(MAX)) and the minimum and maximum in-rush currents (ILIMIT(MIN)) and ILIMIT(MAX))
are related to the value of RSENSE.

INTERNAL UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The VIN Pin is monitored for undervoltage lockout. When the
voltage at VIN is above 8.5 V (VLKO), the device is enabled. If
this voltage drops below 8.5 V, the device is disabled and gate is
pulled low. Note that this is unrelated to the undervoltage
and overvoltage functions performed at the UV/OV Pin.
TIMER
The TIMER Pin on the ADM1070 gives the user control over
the timing functions on the part. By connecting an external
capacitor between the TIMER Pin and VEE, the user can set the
UV/OV glitch filter time, tFLT, the power-on reset delay time,
tPOR, the maximum current on time, tON, the current limit time
out, tOFF, and the continuous short circuit time before latched
shutdown, tSHORT (see Table III). Note that all times are scaled
relative to each other and cannot be altered individually (without
changing the other times). The default values for these times are
selected by tying the TIMER Pin directly to VEE.

ADM1070
UNDERVOLTAGE/OVERVOLTAGE DETECTION
Voltage Divider:
The ADM1070 incorporates single-pin overvoltage and
undervoltage detection with a programmable operating voltage
window. When the voltage on the UV/OV pin rises above the
OV rising threshold or falls below the UV falling threshold, a
fault signal is generated that disables the linear current regulator
and results in the GATE Pin being pulled low. The voltage fault
signal is time filtered so that faults of duration less than the UV/
OV glitch filter time, tFLT, do not force the gate drive low (tFLT
is set by the choice of external capacitor CT, see Table III). The
filter operates only on the “faulting” edge (i.e., on a high to
low transition on the undervoltage monitor and on a low to
high transition on the overvoltage monitor). The analog comparators have some hysteresis to provide smooth switching of
the comparator inputs.
VUV/OV = VSS(R2/(R1 + R2))
If the voltage on UV/OV goes out of range (i.e., below 0.86 V
or above 1.97 V) gate is pulled low. If the UV/OV voltage
subsequently re-enters the operating voltage window, the
ADM1070 will restore the gate drive.
The overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds are:

VSS = VUV/OV(R1 + 1)

The undervoltage/overvoltage levels are determined by selection
of the resistor ratio R1/R2, (see Table I). These two resistors
form a resistor divider that generates the voltage; at the UV/OV
Pin, which is proportional to the supply voltage. By choosing
this ratio carefully, the ADM1070 can be programmed to apply
the supply voltage to the load only when it is within specific
thresholds. For example, for R1 = 39 kΩ and R2 = 1 kΩ the
typical operating range is 36.4 V to 76.8 V. The undervoltage
and overvoltage shutdown thresholds are 34.4 V and 77.2 V
for this resistor ratio. 1% resistors should be used to maintain
the accuracy of these threshold levels.

OVERVOLTAGE AND UNDERVOLTAGE
The waveforms for an overvoltage glitch are shown below.
When UV/OV glitches above the overvoltage rising threshold of
1.97 V, an overvoltage condition is detected and the gate voltage is pulled low. UV/OV begins to drop a back toward the
operating voltage window and the gate drive is restored when
the overvoltage falling threshold of 1.93 V is reached. Figure 7
illustrates the ADM1070’s operation in an overvoltage situation.
The timing waveforms associated with the live insertion of a
plug-in board using the ADM1070 are shown in the following
figures. When the board connects the GND-VEE potential
climbs to 48 V. As this voltage is applied, the voltage at the VIN
Pin ramps above the undervoltage lockout (VLKO) of 8.5 V to a
constant 12.3 V and is held at this level with the shunt resistor
and external resistor combination at the VIN Pin.
When UV/OV crosses the undervoltage rising threshold of
0.91 V, it is now inside the operating voltage window and the
–48 V supply must be applied to the load. After a time delay,
tPOR, the ADM1070 begins to ramp up the gate drive. When the
voltage on the SENSE Pin reaches 100 mV (the analog current
limit) the gate drive is held constant. When the board capacitance is fully charged, the sense voltage begins to drop below
the analog current limit voltage and the gate voltage is free to
ramp up further. The gate voltage eventually reaches its maximum value of 12.3 V (as set by VIN).

An undervoltage glitch is dealt with in a similar way. When
VUV/OV falls below the undervoltage falling threshold of 0.86 V,
the gate voltage is pulled low. If UO/UV subsequently rises
back above the undervoltage rising threshold of 0.91 V, then the
gate voltage is restored. Figure 8 illustrates the ADM1070’s

CURRENT FAULT PLOTS
Some timing waveforms associated with current over faults are
shown in the following figures. Figure 9 shows how a current
glitch (of approximately 500 µs) is dealt with when the output is
shorted after power-up. The gate voltage is at a constant 12.3 V
before the glitch occurs. When the short circuit occurs, the
sense voltage rises sharply as the load current ramps up quickly.
When the sense voltage reaches 100 mV (VACL ), the ADM1070
reduces the gate voltage to stop the load current from increasing
any further. When VSENSE drops back below VACL, the gate
voltage is increased again.
GATE
T
Figure 11 shows a current fault on a wider timebase. The first
spike on the sense line represents the first current fault. The
sense voltage is allowed to ramp up to 100 mV before the gate
voltage is reduced to compensate. The gate and sense voltages
remain at these levels until the tON time has expired. A current
fault is then registered and the gate voltage, and therefore the
sense voltage, are then both held low for the time period tOFF.
Note that the PWM ratio (tON/tOFF) is equal to 3%. The cycle
then restarts and the sense voltage is free to ramp up to 100 mV
again (it will if the fault is still present). This cycle repeats itself
a total of seven times. Figure 12 shows the seven consecutive
faults occurring on an even wider timebase. If the ADM1070
detects seven consecutive current faults, the part then latches off
(after a total time tSHORT).

The plots shown illustrate the operation of the ADM1070’s
unique limited consecutive retry function. Figure 10 highlights
what happens when a current fault occurs for more than 14 ms
(default tLIMITON when TIMER Pin tied to VEE) and a current
fault is registered. In this case, gate is previously low and the
part is being powered up into a current fault situation (shorted
load). When power is applied, gate is allowed to ramp until
sense reaches 100 mV. gate is then held constant to keep sense
at this level. After tON, the PWM cycle begins and gate is
reduced to zero.

ADM1070
Figure 13 shows the behavior of ADM1070 when a temporary
current fault occurs followed by a permanent current fault.
When the first overcurrent fault occurs, the first 100 mV spike
on the sense line can be seen. During the tOFF time, this current
fault corrects itself. After this time period, a no fault condition is
detected and the limited consecutive counter is reset. GATE is
reasserted. When the overcurrent fault returns permanently, the
limited consecutive retry counter detects seven consecutive
faults and the part latches off.
UV/OV AS ENABLE PIN
Connecting an open collector output to the UV/OV Pin means
that a TTL signal can be used to disable the part. In Figure 15,
the open collector output connects to EN. Driving the base of
the open collector device high enough to cause the UV/OV Pin
to be pulled below the undervoltage falling threshold of 0.86 V
typical will cause the pass transistor Q1 to be turned off.

In this way, the ADM1070 prevents nuisance shutdowns from
transient shorts of up to three seconds (typically), but will provide
latched shut-down protection from permanently shorted loads.
KELVIN SENSE RESISTOR CONNECTION
When using a low value sense resistor for high current measurement, the problem of parasitic series resistance can arise. The
lead resistance can be a substantial fraction of the rated resistance, making the total resistance a function of lead length. This
problem can be avoided by using a Kelvin sense connection.
This type of connection separates the current path through
the resistor and the voltage drop across the resistor. Figure 14
shows the correct way to connect the sense resistor between the
SENSE and VEE Pins of the ADM1070.
