Negative Voltage Hot Plug Controller
Features
The ISL6141 is an 8-pin, negative voltage hot plug controller
that allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a
live backplane. Inrush current is limited to a programmable
value by controlling the gate voltage of an external Nchannel pass transistor. The pass transistor is turned off if
the input voltage is less than the Under-Voltage threshold, or
greater than the Over-Voltage threshold. The IntelliTripTM
electronic circuit breaker and programmable current limit
features protect the system against short circuits. When the
Over-Current threshold is exceeded, the output current is
limited for 600s before the circuit breaker shuts down the
FET. If the fault disappears before the 600s time-out,
normal operation resumes. In addition, the IntelliTripTM
electronic circuit breaker has a fast Hard Fault shutdown
with a threshold set at 4 times the current limit value. When
activated, the GATE is immediately turned off and then
slowly turned back on for a single retry (soft-start). The
active low PWRGD signal can be used to directly enable a
power module (with a low enable input). The ISL6151 is the
same device but has an active high PWRGD output.

Pin Descriptions
PWRGD (ISL6141; L Version) Pin 1
This digital output is an open-drain pull-down device. During
start-up the DRAIN and GATE voltages are monitored with
two separate comparators. The first comparator looks at the
DRAIN pin voltage compared to the internal VPG reference
(VPG is nominal 1.3V); this measures the voltage drop across
the external FET and sense resistor. When the DRAIN to VEE
voltage drop is less than 1.3V, the first of two conditions
required for the power to be considered good are met. In
addition, the GATE voltage monitored by the second
comparator must be within approximately 2.5V of its normal
operating voltage (13.6V). When both criteria are met the
PWRGD output will transition from high to low, enabling a
power module in some applications. The output is latched in
the low state until any of the signals that shut off the GATE
occur (Over-Voltage, Under-Voltage, Under-Voltage Lock-Out,
Over-Current Time-Out, or powering down). Any of these
conditions will re-set the latch and the PWRGD output will
transition from low to high indicating power is no longer good.
In this case the output pull-down device shuts off, and the pin
becomes high impedance. Typically an external pull-up of
some kind is used to pull the pin high (many brick regulators
have a pull-up function built in).
PWRGD (ISL6151; H Version) Pin 1 - This digital
output is used to provide an active high signal to enable an
external module. The Power Good comparators are the
same as described above, but the active state of the output
is reversed (reference Figure 33).
If the latch is reset (GATE turns off), the internal DMOS
device (Q3) is turned off, and Q2 (NPN) turns on to clamp
the output one diode drop above the DRAIN voltage to
produce a logic low.
Once the latch is set (both DRAIN and GATE are normal), the
DMOS device (Q3) turns on and sinks current to VEE through
a 6.2K resistor. The base of Q2 is clamped to VEE to turn it
off. If the external pull-up current is high enough (>1mA, for
example), the voltage drop across the resistor will be large
enough to produce a logic high output (in this example, 1mA *
6.2k = 6.2V) and enable the external module.
Note that for all H versions, although this is a digital pin
functionally, the logic high level is determined by the external
pull-up device, and the power supply to which it is
connected; the IC will not clamp it below the VDD voltage.
Therefore, if the external device does not have its own
clamp, or if it would be damaged by a high voltage, an
external clamp might be necessary.
OV (Over-Voltage) Pin 2 - This analog input compares the
voltage on the pin to an internal voltage reference of 1.255V
(nominal). When the input goes above the reference (low to
high transition) an Over-Voltage condition is detected and
the GATE pin is immediately pulled low to shut off the
3
external FET. The built in 25mV hysteresis will keep the
GATE off until the OV pin drops below 1.230V, which is the
nominal high to low threshold. A typical application will use
an external resistor divider from VDD to VEE to set the OV
level as desired. A three-resistor divider can be used to set
both OV and UV trip points.
UV (Under-Voltage) Pin 3 - This analog input compares the
voltage on the pin to an internal comparator with a built in
hysteresis of 135mV. When the UV input goes below the
nominal reference (high to low transition) voltage of 1.120V,
the GATE pin is immediately pulled low to shut off the
external FET. Since the comparator has a built in 135mV
hysteresis the GATE will remain off until the UV pin rises
above a 1.255V low to high threshold. A typical application
will use an external resistor divider from VDD to VEE to set
the UV level as desired. A three-resistor divider can be used
to set both OV and UV trip points.
The UV pin is also used to reset the Over-Current latch. The
pin must be cycled below 1.120V (nominal) and then above
1.255V (nominal) to clear the latch and initiate a normal
power-up sequence.
VEE Pin 4 - This is the most negative supply voltage, such
as in a -48V system. Most of the other signals are
referenced relative to this pin, even though it may be far
away from what is considered a GND reference.
SENSE Pin 5 - This analog input monitors the voltage drop
across the external sense resistor (between SENSE and
VEE) to determine if the current exceeds the programmed
Over-Current trip point, equal to 50mV / Rsense. If the load
current exceeds the Over-Current threshold, the circuit will
regulate the current to maintain the nominal voltage drop
(50mV) across the sensing resistor R1 (Rsense). If current is
limited for more than 600s, the Over-Current shutdown
(also called electronic circuit breaker) will quickly turn off the
FET and latch the GATE pin off.
A Hard Fault comparator is employed to detect and respond
quickly to severe short circuits. The threshold of this
comparator is set approximately four times higher (210mV)
than the Over-Current trip point. When its threshold is
exceeded the GATE is immediately (10s typical) shut off,
the timer is reset, and a single retry (soft start) is attempted
before latching the GATE off (assuming the fault remains).
During the retry, if the fault disappears prior to the OverCurrent Time-Out period (600s) the FET will remain on as
normal. If the GATE is latched off, the user must either
toggle the UV pin below then above its threshold, or reduce
the supply voltage below the VDD UVLO trip point and then
above it. This will clear the latch and initiate a normal powerup sequence.
ISL6141, ISL6151
GATE Pin 6 - This analog output drives the gate of the
external FET used as a pass transistor. The GATE pin is
high (FET is on) when the following conditions are met:
•
•
•
•
UVLO is above its trip point (~16.5V)
Voltage on the UV pin is above its trip point (1.255V)
Voltage on the OV pin is below its trip point (1.255V)
No Over-Current conditions are present.
If any of the 4 conditions are violated, the GATE pin will be
pulled low to shut off or regulate current through the FET.
The GATE is latched off only when the 600s Over-Current
Time-Out period is exceeded.
The GATE is driven high by a weak (-50A nominal) pull-up
current source, in order to slowly turn on the FET. It is driven
low by a 70mA nominal pull-down device for three of the
above shut-off conditions. A larger (350mA nominal) pulldown current shuts off the FET very quickly in the event of a
hard fault where the sense pin voltage exceeds
approximately 210mV.
DRAIN Pin 7 - This is the analog input to one of two
comparators that control the PWRGD (ISL6141) or PWRGD
(ISL6151) outputs. It compares the voltage of the external
FET DRAIN to a 1.3V internal reference (VPG). The DRAIN
voltage is criticized only until the PWRGD or PWRGD
outputs are latched into their active low or high states. The
latch is reset when any of the conditions that turn off the
GATE occur (UVLO, OV, UV, OC Time-Out). Note that the
comparator does NOT itself turn off the GATE.
VDD Pin 8 - This is the most positive power supply pin. It
can range from the Under-Voltage Lock-Out threshold
(16.5V) to +80V (Relative to VEE).

Quick Guide to Choosing Component
Values
(See fig 23 for reference)
This section will describe the minimum components needed
for a typical application, and will show how to select
component values. (Note that “typical” values may only be
good for this application; the user may have to select
alternate component values to optimize performance for
other applications). Each block will then have more detailed
explanation of how the device works, and alternatives.
R4, R5, R6 - together set the Under-Voltage (UV) and OverVoltage (OV) trip points. When the power supply ramps up
and down, these trip points (and their hysteresis) will
determine when the GATE is allowed to turn on and off (UV
and OV do not control the PWRGD / PWRGD output). The
11
input power supply is divided down such that when the
voltage on the OV pin is below its threshold and the UV pin is
above its threshold their comparators will be in the proper
state signaling the supply is within its desired range, allowing
the GATE to turn on. The equations below define the
comparator thresholds for an increasing (in magnitude)
supply voltage.

(EQ. 1)
 R 4 + R 5 + R 6
V OV = -----------------------------------------  1.255
 R6 
(EQ. 2)
The values of R4 = 549K, R5 = 6.49K, and R6 = 10K shown
in figure 23 set the Under-Voltage turn-on threshold to 43V,
and the Over-Voltage turn off threshold to 71V. The UnderVoltage (UV) comparator has a hysteresis of 135mV (4.6V of
hysteresis on the supply) which correlates to a 38.4V turn off
voltage. The Over-Voltage comparator has a 25mV
hysteresis which translates to a turn on voltage (supply
decreasing) of approximately 69.6V.
Q1 - is the FET that connects the input supply voltage to the
output load, when properly enabled. It needs to be selected
based on several criteria:
• Maximum voltage expected on the input supply (including
transients) as well as transients on the output side.
• Maximum current and power dissipation expected during
normal operation, usually at a level just below the current
limit threshold.
• Power dissipation and/or safe-operating-area
considerations during current limiting and single retry
events.
• Other considerations include the GATE voltage threshold
which affects the rDS(ON) (which in turn, affects the
voltage drop across the FET during normal operation),
and the maximum GATE voltage allowed (the ICs GATE
output is clamped to ~14V).
ISL6141, ISL6151
R1 - Is the Over-Current sense resistor. If the input current is
high enough, such that the voltage drop across R1 exceeds
the SENSE comparator trip point (50mV nominal), the GATE
pin will be pulled lower (to ~4V) and current will be regulated
to 50mV/Rsense for approximately 600s. The Over-Current
threshold is defined in Equation 3 below. If the 600s timeout period is exceeded the Over-Current latch will be set and
the FET will be turned off to protect the load from excessive
current. A typical value for R1 is 0.02which sets an OverCurrent trip point of; IOC = V/R = 0.05/0.02 = 2.5 Amps. To
select the appropriate value for R1, the user must first
determine at what level of current it should trip, take into
account worst case variations for the trip point (50mV
10mV = 20%), and the tolerances of the resistor (typically
1% or 5%). Note that the Over-Current threshold should be
set above the inrush current level plus the expected load
current to avoid activating the current limit and time-out
circuitry during start-up. If the power good output is used to
enable an external module, the desired inrush current only
needs to be considered. One rule of thumb is to set the
Over-Current threshold 2-3 times higher than the normal
operating current.
RL - is the equivalent resistive value of the load and
determines the normal operation current delivered through
the FET. It also affects some dynamic conditions (such as
the discharge time of the load capacitors during a powerdown). A typical value might be 48 (I = V/R = 48/48 = 1A).
R2, C1, R3, C2 - are related to the GATE driver, as it
controls the inrush current.
R2 prevents high frequency oscillations; 10 is a typical
value. R2 = 10.
R3 and C2 act as a feedback network to control the inrush
current as shown in equation 4 below, where CL is the load
capacitance (including module input capacitance), and IPU is
the GATE pin charging current, nominally 50A.

(EQ. 3)
Physical layout of R1 SENSE resistor is critical to avoid
the possibility of false over current events. Since it is in the
main input-to-output path, the traces should be wide enough
to support both the normal current, and up to the overcurrent trip point. Ideally trace routing between the R1
resistor and the ISL6141/51 (pin 4 (VEE) and pin 5 (SENSE)
is direct and as short as possible with zero current in the
sense lines. (See Figure 24).
CORRECT
case of a regulator, there may be capacitors on the output of
that circuit as well; these need to be added into the
capacitance calculation during inrush (unless the regulator is
delayed from operation by the PWRGD signal).
INCORRECT
Begin by choosing a value of acceptable inrush current for
the system, and then solve for C2.
C1 and R3 prevent Q1 from turning on momentarily when
power is first applied. Without them, C2 would pull the gate
of Q1 up to a voltage roughly equal to VEE*C2/Cgs(Q1)
(where Cgs is the FET gate-source capacitance) before the
ISL6141/2 could power up and actively pull the gate low.
Place C1 in parallel with the gate capacitance of Q1; isolate
them from C2 by R3.
C1= [(Vinmax - Vth)/Vth] * (C2+Cgd) - where Vth is the
FET’s minimum gate threshold, Vinmax is the maximum
operating input voltage, and Cgd is the FET gate-drain
capacitance.
R3 - its value is not critical, a typical value of 18k is
recommended but values down to 1K can be used. Lower
values of R3 will add delay to the gate turn-on for hot
insertion and the single retry event following a hard fault.

CL - is the sum of all load capacitances, including the load’s
input capacitance itself. Its value is usually determined by
the needs of the load circuitry, and not the hot plug (although
there can be interaction). For example, if the load is a
regulator, then the capacitance may be chosen based on the
input requirements of that circuit (holding regulation under
current spikes or loading, filtering noise, etc.) The value
chosen will affect the peak inrush current. Note that in the
12
Note that although this IC was designed for -48V systems, it
can also be used as a low-side switch for positive 48V
systems; the operation and components are usually similar.
One possible difference is the kind of level shifting that may
be needed to interface logic signals to the UV input (to reset
the latch) or PWRGD output. For example, many of the IC
functions are referenced to the IC substrate, connected to
the VEE pin. But this pin may be considered -48V or GND,
depending upon the polarity of the system. And input or
output logic (running at 5V or 3.3V or even lower) might be
externally referenced to either VDD or VEE of the IC, instead
of GND.
ISL6141, ISL6151
Inrush Current Control
Electronic Circuit Breaker/Current Limit
The primary function of the ISL6141 hot plug controller is to
control the inrush current. When a board is plugged into a
live backplane, the input capacitors of the board’s power
supply circuit can produce large current transients as they
charge up. This can cause glitches on the system power
supply (which can affect other boards!), as well as possibly
cause some permanent damage to the power supply.
The ISL6141/51 features programmable current limiting with a
fixed 600s time-out period to protect against excessive
supply or fault currents. The IntelliTripTM electronic circuit
breaker is capable of detecting both hard faults, and less
severe Over-Current conditions.
The key to allowing boards to be inserted into a live
backplane is to turn on the power to the board in a controlled
manner, usually by limiting the current allowed to flow
through a FET switch, until the input capacitors are fully
charged. At that point, the FET is fully on, for the smallest
voltage drop across it. Figure 25 below illustrates the typical
inrush current response resulting from a hot insertion for the
following conditions:
• VEE = -48V, Rsense = 0.02 (2.5A current limit)
• C1 = 150nF, C2 = 3.3nF, R3 = 18k
• IInrush = 50A (100F/3.3nF) = 1.5A
• CL = 100uF, RL = 150 (48V/150 = 320mA)
FIGURE 25. INRUSH CURRENT LIMITING FOR A HOT
INSERTION
After the contact bounce subsides the UVLO and UV criteria
are quickly met and the GATE begins to ramp up. As the
GATE reaches approximately 4V with respect to the source,
the FET begins to turn on allowing current to charge the load
capacitor. As the drain to source voltage begins to drop, the
feedback network of C2 and R3 hold the GATE constant, in
this case limiting the current to approximately 1.3A. When
the DRAIN voltage completes its ramp down the load current
remains constant at 320mA as the GATE voltage increases
to its final value.
13
The Over-Current trip point is determined by R1 (Eq. #3) also
referred to as Rsense. When the voltage across this resistor
exceeds 50mV, the current limit regulator will turn on, and the
GATE will be pulled lower (to ~4V) to regulate current through
the FET at 50mV/Rsense. If the fault persists and current
limiting exceeds the 600s time-out period, the FET will be
turned off by discharging the GATE pin to VEE. This will
enable the Over-Current latch and the PWRGD/PWRGD
output will transition to the inactive state to indicate power is
no longer good. To clear the latch and initiate a normal powerup sequence, the user must either power down the system
(below the UVLO voltage), or toggle the UV pin below and
above its threshold (usually with an external transistor). Figure
26 below shows the Over-Current shut down and current
limiting response for a 10 short to ground on the output. With
FIGURE 26. CURRENT LIMITING AND TIMEOUT
a 10 short and a -48V supply, the initial fault current is
approximately 4.8A, producing a voltage drop across the
0.02 sense resistor of 95mV, roughly two times the OverCurrent threshold of 50mV. This enables the 600s timer and
the GATE is quickly pulled low to limit the current to 2.5A
(50mV/Rsense). The fault condition persists for the duration of
the time-out period and the GATE is latched off in about
670s. There is a short filter (3s nominal) on the comparator,
so current transients shorter than this will be ignored. Longer
transients will initiate the GATE pull down, current limiting, and
the timer. If the fault current goes away before the time-out
period expires the device will exit the current limiting mode
and resume normal operation.
ISL6141, ISL6151
In addition to the above current limit and 600s time-out,
there is a Hard Fault comparator to respond to short circuits
with an immediate GATE shutdown (typically 10s) and a
single retry. The trip point of this comparator is set ~4 times
(210mV) higher than the Over-Current threshold of 50mV. If
the Hard Fault comparator trip point is exceeded, a hard pull
down current (350mA) is enabled to quickly pull down the
GATE and momentarily turn off the FET. The fast shutdown
resets the 600s timer and is followed by a soft start, single
retry event. If the fault is still present after the GATE is slowly
turned on, the current-limit regulator will trip (sense pin
voltage > 50mV), turn on the timer, and limit the current to
50mV/Rsense for 600s before latching the GATE pin low.
Note: Since the 600s timer starts when the SENSE pin
exceeds the 50mV threshold, then depending on the speed of
the current transient exceeding 200mV, it’s possible that the
current limit time-out and shutdown can occur before the Hard
Fault comparator trips (and thus no retry). Figure 27 illustrates
the Hard Fault response with a zero ohm short circuit at the
output.
internal comparator with a nominal reference of 1.255V. A
resistor divider between the VDD (gnd) and VEE is typically
used to set the trip points on the UV and OV pins. If the
voltage on the UV pin is above its threshold and the voltage
on the OV pin is below its threshold, the supply is within its
operating range and the GATE will be allowed to turn on, or
remain on. If the UV pin voltage drops below its high to low
threshold, or the OV pin voltage increases above its low to
high threshold, the GATE pin will be pulled low, turning off
the FET until the supply is back within tolerance.
The OV and UV inputs are high impedance, so the value of
the external resistor divider is not critical with respect to input
current. Therefore, the next consideration is total current; the
resistors will always draw current, equal to the supply
voltage divided by the total resistance of the divider
(R4+R5+R6) so the values should be chosen high enough to
get an acceptable current. However, to the extent that the
noise on the power supply can be transmitted to the pins, the
resistor values might be chosen to be lower. A filter capacitor
from UV to VEE or OV to VEE is a possibility, if certain
transients need to be filtered. (Note that even some
transients which will momentarily shut off the GATE might
recover fast enough such that the GATE or the output
current does not even see the interruption).
Finally, take into account whether the resistor values are
readily available, or need to be custom ordered. Tolerances
of 1% are recommended for accuracy. Note that for a typical
48V system (with a 43V to 72V range), the 43V or 72V is
being divided down to 1.255V, a significant scaling factor.
For UV, the ratio is roughly 35 times; every 3mV change on
the UV pin represents roughly 0.1V change of power supply
voltage. Conversely, an error of 3mV (due to the resistors,
for example) results in an error of 0.1V for the supply trip
point. The OV ratio is around 60. So the accuracy of the
resistors comes into play.
FIGURE 27. HARD FAULT SHUTDOWN AND RETRY
As in the Over-Current response discussed previously the
supply is set at -48V and the current limit is set at 2.5A. After
the initial gate shutdown (10s) a soft start is initiated with
the short circuit still present. As the GATE slowly turns on the
current ramps up and exceeds the Over-Current threshold
(50mV) enabling the timer and current limiting. The fault
remains for the duration of the time-out period and the GATE
pin is quickly pulled low and latched off requiring a UVLO or
UV reset to resume normal operation (assuming the fault
has gone away).
Applications: OV and UV
The UV and OV pins can be used to detect Over-Voltage
and Under-Voltage conditions on the input supply and
quickly shut down the external FET. Each pin is tied to an
14
The hysteresis of the comparators is also multiplied by the
scale factor of 35 for the UV pin (35 * 135mV = 4.7V of
hysteresis at the power supply) and 60 for the OV pin (60 *
25mV = 1.5V of hysteresis at the power supply).
With the three resistors, the UV equation is based on the
simple resistor divider:
1.255 = VUV * (R5 + R6)/(R4 + R5 + R6) or
VUV = 1.255 (R4 + R5 + R6)/(R5 + R6)
Similarly, for OV:
1.255 = VOV * (R6)/(R4 + R5 + R6) or
VOV = 1.255 (R4 + R5 + R6)/(R6)
Note that there are two equations, but 3 unknowns. Because
of the scale factor, R4 has to be much bigger than the other
two; chose its value first, to set the current (for example, 50V /
500k draws 100A), and then the other two will be in the
10k range. Solve the two equations for two unknowns. Note
that some iteration may be necessary to select values that
ISL6141, ISL6151
meet the requirement, and are also readily available standard
values.
The three resistor divider (R4, R5, R6) is the recommended
approach for most cases. But if acceptable values can’t be
found, then consider 2 separate resistor dividers (one for
each pin, both from VDD to VEE). This also allows the user to
adjust or trim either trip point independently. Some
applications employ a short pin ground on the connector tied
to R4 to ensure the hot plug device is fully powered up
before the UV and OV pins (tied to the short pin ground) are
biased. This ensures proper control of the GATE is
maintained during power up. This is not a requirement for
the ISL6141/51 however the circuit will perform properly if a
short pin scheme is implemented (reference Figure 34).
Supply ramping
As previously mentioned the UV and OV pins can be used to
detect under and Over-Voltage conditions on the input
supply. Figures 28 and 29 illustrate the GATE shutdown
response and the UV/OV hysteresis as a typical power
supply is ramped from 0 to 80V, and then from 80V to 0V.
FIGURE 29. SUPPLY RAMP-DOWN
Applications: PWRGD/PWRGD
The PWRGD/PWRGD outputs are typically used to directly
enable a power module, such as a DC/DC converter. The
PWRGD (ISL6141) is used for modules with active low
enable (L version), and PWRGD (ISL6151) for those with
active high enable (H version). The modules usually have a
pull-up device built-in, as well as an internal clamp. If not, an
external pull-up resistor may be needed. If the pin is not
used, it can be left open.
For both versions at initial start-up, when the DRAIN to VEE
voltage differential is less than 1.3V and the GATE voltage is
within 2.5V (VGH) of its normal operating voltage (13.6V),
power is considered good and the PWRGD/PWRGD pins
will go active. At this point the output is latched and the
DRAIN is no longer criticized. The latch is reset by any of the
signals that shut off the GATE (Over-Voltage, Under-Voltage;
Under-Voltage-Lock-Out; Over-Current Time-Out or
powering down). In this case the PWRGD/PWRGD output
will go inactive, indicating power is no longer good.
As the supply ramps up, the UV threshold is reached at
43.6V and the FET begins to turn on. Within 40ms the GATE
is fully on and the device is operating normally. As the supply
continues to ramp up the Over-Voltage threshold is
exceeded at approximately 70.5V and the GATE is quickly
shut down as expected. In figure 29 the GATE voltage
begins in the off state as the supply voltage is above the OV
set point. As the supply voltage decreases the GATE turns
on at about 69V (roughly a 1.5 volt hysteresis). Some 800ms
later (a characteristic of the supply used) the UV high to low
threshold is met at approximately 38.5 volts (about 5.0V of
hysteresis) and the GATE is shut off.

When any of the 4 conditions occur that turn off the GATE
(OV, UV, UVLO, Over-Current Time-Out) the PWRGD latch
is reset and the Q2 DMOS device will shut off (high
impedance). The pin will quickly be pulled high by the
external module (or an optional pull-up resistor or
equivalent) which in turn will disable it. If a pull-up resistor is
used, it can be connected to any supply voltage that doesn’t
exceed the IC pin maximum ratings on the high end, but is
high enough to give acceptable logic levels to whatever
signal it is driving. An external clamp may be used to limit the
voltage range.
Applications: GATE pin
To help protect the external FET, the output of the GATE pin
is internally clamped; up to an 80V supply and will not be any
higher than 15V. Under normal operation when the supply
voltage is above 20V, the GATE voltage will be regulated to a
nominal 13.6V above VEE.
Applications: “Brick” Regulators
One of the typical loads used are DC/DC regulators, some
commonly known as “brick” regulators, (partly due to their
shape, and because it can be considered a “building block”
of a system). For a given input voltage range, there are
usually whole families of different output voltages and
current ranges. There are also various standardized sizes
and pinouts, starting with the original “full” brick, and since
getting smaller (half-bricks and quarter-bricks are now
common).
Other common features may include: all components
(except some filter capacitors) are self-contained in a
molded plastic package; external pins for connections; and
often an ENABLE input pin to turn it on or off. A hot plug IC,
such as the ISL6141 is often used to gate power to a brick,
as well as turn it on.
Many bricks have both logic polarities available (Enable Hi or
Lo input); select the ISL6141 (L version) and ISL6151 (H
version) to match. There is little difference between them,
although the L version output is usually simpler to interface.
The Enable input often has a pull-up resistor or current
source, or equivalent built in; care must be taken in the
ISL6151 (H version) output that the given current will create
a high enough input voltage (remember that current through
the RPG 6.2k resistor generates the high voltage level; see
Figure 33).
The input capacitance of the brick is chosen to match its
system requirements, such as filtering noise, and
maintaining regulation under varying loads. Note that this
input capacitance appears as the load capacitance of the
ISL6141/51.
ISL6141, ISL6151
When placed from VDD to VEE on the board, it will clamp the
voltage.
The brick’s output capacitance is also determined by the
system, including load regulation considerations. However, it
can affect the ISL6141/51, depending upon how it is
enabled. For example, if the PWRGD signal is not used to
enable the brick, the following could occur. Sometime during
the inrush current time, as the main power supply starts
charging the brick input capacitors, the brick itself will start
working, and start charging its output capacitors and load;
that current has to be added to the inrush current. In some
cases, the sum could exceed the Over-Current shutdown,
which would shut down the whole system! Therefore,
whenever practical, it is advantageous to use the PWRGD
output to keep the brick off at least until the input caps are
charged up, and then start-up the brick to charge its output
caps.
If transients on the input power supply occur when the
supply is near either the OV or UV trip points, the GATE
could turn on or off momentarily. One possible solution is to
add a filter cap C4 to the VDD pin, through isolation resistor
R10. A large value of R10 is better for the filtering, but be
aware of the voltage drop across it. For example, a 1k
resistor, with 2.4mA of IDD would have 2.4V across it and
dissipate 2.4mW. Since the UV and OV comparators are
referenced with respect to the VEE supply, they should not
be affected. But the GATE clamp voltage could be offset by
the voltage across the extra resistor.
The switch SW1 is shown as a simple push button. It can be
replaced by an active switch, such as an NPN or NFET; the
principle is the same; pull the UV node below its trip point,
and then release it (toggle low). To connect an NFET, for
example, the DRAIN goes to UV; the source to VEE, and the
GATE is the input; if it goes high (relative to VEE), it turns the
NFET on, and UV is pulled low. Just make sure the NFET
resistance is low compared to the resistor divider, so that it
has no problem pulling down against it.
Typical brick regulators include models such as Lucent
JW050A1-E or Vicor VI-J30-CY. These are nominal -48V
input, and 5V outputs, with some isolation between the input
and output.
Applications: Optional Components
In addition to the typical application, and the variations
already mentioned, there are a few other possible
components that might be used in specific cases. See Figure
34 for some possibilities.
R8 is a pull-up resistor for PWRGD, if there is no other
component acting as a pull-up device. The value of R8 is
determined by how much current is needed when the pin is
pulled low (also affected by the VDD voltage); and it should
be pulled low enough for a good logic low level. An LED can
also be placed in series with R8, if desired. In that case, the
criteria is the LED brightness versus current.
If the input power supply exceeds the 100V absolute
maximum rating, even for a short transient, that could cause
permanent damage to the IC, as well as other components
on the board. If this cannot be guaranteed, a voltage
suppressor (such as the SMAT70A, D1) is recommended.

Note that with the placement shown, most of the signal lines
are short, and there should not be minimal interaction
between them.
Applications: Layout Considerations
For the minimum application, there are only 6 resistors, 2
capacitors, one IC and one FET. A sample layout is shown in
Figure 35. It assumes the IC is 8-SOIC; the FET is in a
D2PAK (or similar SMD-220 package).
Although decoupling capacitors across the IC supply pins
are often recommended in general, this application may not
need one, nor even tolerate one. For one thing, a decoupling
cap would add to (or be swamped out by) any other input
capacitance; it also needs to be charged up when power is
applied. But more importantly, there are no high speed (or
any) input signals to the IC that need to be conditioned. If still
desired, consider the isolation resistor R10, as shown in
Figure 34.
Although GND planes are common with multi-level PCBs, for
a -48V system, the -48V rails (both input and output) act
more like a GND than the top 0V rail (mainly because the IC
signals are mostly referenced to the lower rail). So if
separate planes for each voltage are not an option, consider
prioritizing the bottom rails first.

NOTES:
1. Layout scale is approximate; routing lines are just for illustration
purposes; they do not necessarily conform to normal PCB
design rules. High current buses are wider, shown with parallel
lines.
2. Approximate size of the above layout is 1.6 x 0.6 inches; almost
half of the area is just the FET (D2PAK or similar SMD-220
package).
