+60V Simple Swapper Hot-Swap Switch
During startup, an integrated 0.45Ω power MOSFET
regulates the current and voltage between the backplane power source and the load. After startup, the
MOSFET is fully enhanced to reduce its on-resistance.
To ensure robust operation, the MAX5923 contains
built-in safety features that monitor fault conditions and
prevent damage to the internal MOSFET.
The MAX5923 monitors three parameters for fault conditions: zero current, overcurrent, and thermal overload.
The output overcurrent limit counts the time the MAX5923
spends in an overcurrent condition and shuts down the
pass transistor if the current limit is exceeded for the overcurrent time limit. The zero-current detection counts the
time the output current is below the zero-current threshold
and shuts down the pass transistor if the counter reaches
the zero-current time limit. The thermal monitoring feature
shuts down the pass transistor if the die temperature
reaches the overtemperature limit. A fault logic output
indicates when an overtemperature or an overcurrent
condition has occurred and a zero-current logic output
indicates if there is a zero-current condition.
An undervoltage detection circuitry keeps the pass transistor off until the input voltage is above the undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) threshold, which is internally set or can be
set externally with a resistive divider. A power-OK (POK)
output is provided to signal when the output voltage has
reached to within 0.75V of the input voltage. An Enable
input allows the host system to disconnect the system
from the load and/or reset a fault condition by toggling
Enable.
The MAX5923 is available in a 20-pin TSSOP package
and operates in the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX5923 is a fully integrated hot-swap switch that
contains a 0.45Ω integrated power MOSFET and operates from a +16V to +60V supply rail. The device allows
the safe insertion and removal of circuit cards into live
backplanes without causing problematic glitches on the
supply rail. The device also monitors various circuit parameters and disconnects the load if a fault condition
occurs, alerting the host with a logic-level FAULT output.
The MAX5923 provides an Enable input to enable/disable
the device with a logic signal and logic output POK that
indicates when the output voltage has reached within
750mV of the input voltage. Three fault conditions are
monitored: a zero-current condition, an overcurrent condition, and a thermal overload condition. A FAULT output
indicates to the host if an overcurrent or thermal fault
occurs and a ZC output indicates if the output has a zerocurrent condition. An undervoltage lockout circuitry shuts
down the device if the input voltage falls below the UVLO
threshold.
Power-Up Mode
During power-up, the MAX5923 gradually turns on the
integrated N-channel MOSFET. To minimize EMI, the
MAX5923 limits the output voltage slew rate at the OUT
pin to dVOUT/dt = 100V/ms (max) and the output current
slew rate out of the OUT pin to dIOUT/dt = 35A/ms (max).
The MAX5923 has an integrated 0.45Ω N-channel power
MOSFET. The MOSFET’s drain is connected to the
DRAIN pin and its source is connected to the OUT pin.
The MAX5923 monitors and provides current-limit protection to the load at all times. The current limit is programmable using an external current-sensing resistor
8
connected from IN to DRAIN. The MAX5923 features current-limit foldback and duty-cycle limit to ensure robust
operation during load-fault and short-circuit conditions
(see the Overcurrent Protection section).
When V OUT is within 750mV of V IN for more than
tPOK_HIGH, POK goes open-drain. After POK is asserted, the MAX5923 activates the zero-current detection
function. This function monitors the output for an undercurrent condition and eventually turns off the power to
the output if the load is disconnected (see the ZeroCurrent Detection section).
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The MAX5923 operates from a +16V to +60V supply
voltage range and has a default UVLO set at +28V. The
UVLO threshold is adjustable using a resistive divider
connected to the UVLO pin (see Figure 1). When the
input voltage is below the UVLO threshold, all operation
stops and the MOSFET is held off. When the input voltage is above the UVLO threshold and EN is high, the
MAX5923 goes into operation.
To adjust the UVLO threshold, connect an external
resistive divider from IN to UVLO and then from UVLO
to AGND. Use the following equation to calculate the
new UVLO threshold:
R1 

VUVLO _ TH = VREF 1 +

 R2 
VREF is typically 1.33V. The UVLO pin input resistance is
50kΩ (min), so keep the R1 and R2 parallel combination
value at least 20 times smaller than 50kΩ to minimize
the new UVLO threshold error.

Digital Logic
VDIG is the input supply for the internal logic circuitry.
The logic input thresholds of EN, LATCH, and ZC_EN
are CMOS compatible and are determined by the voltage at VDIG, which can range from 1.65V to 5.5V. The
POK and FAULT outputs are open-drain. VDIG and all
logic inputs and outputs are referenced to DGND.
DGND is not connected to AGND_S internally and must
be connected externally at a single point in the system
to AGND_S. The maximum allowable difference in the
voltage between DGND and AGND is ±4V.
Enable (EN)
EN is a logic input to enable MAX5923. Bringing EN low
halts all operations and turns off the internal power
MOSFET. When EN is high and the input voltage is
above the UVLO threshold, the MAX5923 begins operating. Enable is also used to unlatch the part after a
latched fault condition. This is done by toggling EN low
and high again after a fault condition.
Overcurrent Protection
The MAX5923 provides a sophisticated overcurrent protection circuitry to ensure the robust operation under output current transient and current-fault conditions. The
current protection circuitry employs a Constant Current
Limit, a Current Foldback, and an Overcurrent Timeout.
The device monitors the voltage drop, VSENSE (VSENSE =
VIN - VDRAIN) in order to determine the load current.
Constant Current Limit
The MAX5923 monitors VSENSE at all times and regulates the current through the power MOSFET as necessary to keep VSENSE (max) to the current-limit sense
voltage (VILIM = 212mV). The load-current limit, ILIM, is
programmed by the current-sense resistor, RSENSE,
connected from IN to DRAIN (ILIM = VILIM/RSENSE).

VOUT (V)
Figure 2. Current Foldback Characteristic
When the load current is less than ILIM, the MOSFET is
fully on. When the load is trying to draw more than ILIM,
the OUT pin works like a constant current source, limiting the output current to ILIM. If IOUT is greater than
ILIM for greater than the current-limit timeout, a currentlimit fault is generated and the power MOSFET is
turned off (see the Overcurrent Timeout and Fault
Management section).
Current Foldback
While in current-limit condition, the voltage at the OUT pin
drops. As the load resistance reduces (more loading), the
output voltage reduces accordingly to maintain a constant load current. The power dissipation in the power
MOSFET is (VDRAIN - VOUT) × ILIM. As the output voltage
drops lower, more power is dissipated across the power
MOSFET. To reduce this power dissipation, the MAX5923
offers a current foldback feature where it linearly reduces
the VILIM value when VOUT drops below the OUT currentlimit foldback voltage (VFBSTOP = 18V). Figure 2 illustrates this current foldback limit behavior.
Overcurrent Timeout
The MAX5923 keeps track of the time it is in current limit.
An internal digital counter begins incrementing its count
at 1count/ms when VSENSE exceeds its limit (either VILIM
or VILIM foldback in foldback mode). The counter is reset
to zero if the current falls back below the current limit.
When the cumulative count reaches 60, an overcurrent
fault is generated. After an overcurrent fault condition, the
switch is turned off and the FAULT signal goes low. This
overcurrent timeout enables the MAX5923 to operate in a
periodic overcurrent condition without causing a fault.
See Figure 3 for an example of periodic overcurrent condition without causing a fault.

Zero-Current Detection
Zero-current detection is enabled if ZC_EN is high and
only after the startup period has finished (indicated by
POK going high). When VSENSE falls below the zerocurrent threshold (VZCTH) for a continuous tZCDEL =
350ms, a zero-current fault is generated. The MOSFET
is turned off and ZC is latched low. ZC is open drain
during initial power-up. After a zero-current fault has
occurred, the MAX5923 is latched off and is restarted
by applying a low-to-high transition on the EN pin.

Output Clamping During Short Circuit
During an output short-circuit condition, the energy stored
in the output capacitor is dumped onto the short and
builds up a large current in the power path and its parasitic inductance. The larger the output capacitor, the larger the current buildup. The parasitic inductive current
circulates through the short circuit and brings OUT below
ground level. A Schottky diode is needed at the output to
provide the path for this circulating current and to prevent
OUT from going too far below ground and exceeding the
MAX5923’s absolute maximum ratings.
For an output capacitor with low ESR (ceramic and film
type), and with values of 0.47µF or less, a B1100LB
(100V, 1A Schottky) is required as shown in the Typical
Application Circuit. For higher values of capacitance,
more robust clamping is required. For applications using
aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which have relatively
high ESR, the requirement of the clamp diode is reduced.
Good layout with less parasitic trace inductance also
helps in reducing the clamping diode requirement and
should be examined on a case-by-case basis.
Power-OK (POK)
POK goes open-drain tPOK_HIGH (88ms) after VOUT
rises to within 0.75V (VTHPOK) from VIN. POK goes low
tPOK_LOW (1.4ms) after VOUT drops 0.75V below VIN.
10
At any time during a zero-current condition, if VSENSE
goes above VZCTH for the zero-current deglitch time
(tZC_DEG = 10ms), the zero-current counter resets to
zero and a zero-current fault is not generated. Bring
ZC_EN low to disable the zero-current detection function. ZC stays high impedance in this mode.
Thermal Shutdown
If the MAX5923 die temperature reaches +150°C, an
overtemperature fault is generated. The MOSFET turns
off and FAULT goes low. The MAX5923 die temperature must cool down below +120°C before the overtemperature fault condition is removed (see the Fault
Management section).
Fault Report (FAULT)
FAULT goes low when there is an overcurrent fault and/or
an overtemperature fault. FAULT is open drain otherwise.
After a fault, the FAULT signal is latched low. FAULT is
unlatched at the beginning of the next power mode.
Fault Management
The MAX5923 offers either latched-off or autoretry fault
management configurable by the LATCH input.
Bringing LATCH high puts the device into latch mode
while pulling LATCH low selects the autoretry option.
In latch mode, the MAX5923 turns the MOSFET off and
keeps it off after an overcurrent fault or an overtemperature fault. After the fault condition goes away, recycle
the power supplies or toggle the EN pin low and high
again to unlatch the part. However, the part waits a
tRESTART period (1.92s) before recovering from a fault
condition and resuming normal operation.
In autoretry mode, MAX5923 turns the MOSFET off after
an overcurrent or overtemperature fault. After the fault
condition is removed, the device waits a tRESTART period
(1.92s) and then automatically restarts. If the fault was
due to an overtemperature condition, the MAX5923 waits
for its die temperature to cool down below the hysteresis
level before starting the tRESTART time.
