DEMO MANUAL DC2116A
LTC4233/LTC4234
10A/20A Guaranteed SOA
Hot Swap Controller
Description
Demonstration circuit 2116A features the LTC4233/
LTC®4234 10A/20A Guaranteed SOA Hot Swap™ Controllers.
The LTC4233 and LTC4234 are ideally suited for compact
power distribution control in 2.9V to 15V applications for
hot board insertion protection, high side power switching,
and electronic circuit breaker functions. They provide a rich
set of features to support Hot Swap applications including:
• 2.5% Accurate Undervoltage and Overvoltage Protection
• Overtemperature Protection
• Configurable for Auto Retry or Latch Off for Overcurrent
Faults
• Power Good and Fault Outputs
Available in 38-pin 5mm × 9mm QFN packages, the
LTC4234 is showcased on DC2116A-A while the LTC4233
is showcased on DC2116A-B, both configured for a 12V
application. By changing a few passive components, 2.9V
to 15V applications can easily be evaluated.

DC2116A-A Quick Start Procedure
DC2116A-A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance
of the LTC4234. Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement
equipment setup and follow the procedure below.
Set an adjustable power supply, capable of supplying 30
amps, at 16V. Turn off power and connect the supply to
the VDD and GND banana jacks.
DC2116A has two user configurable jumper options:
Connect a suitable load to the VOUT and GND banana
jacks. This load can be an electronic load or power resistors capable of dissipating 300W.
• JP1 AUTORETRY – Set to ON for auto retry or OFF for
latch off on over-current faults. (Default position: OFF)
• JP2 TIMER DURATION – Set to 2ms for the internal 2ms
timer or 1.2ms determined by C2, C2 may be replaced
for other timer durations. (Default position: 1.2ms)
LEDs indicate the state of input power (D2), output power
(D4), FAULT (D3) and PG (D1). Load current can be monitored on the IMON turret, which has a value of 0.1V/A
determined by RMON (20k.)
NOTE: Because the LTC4234 incorporates foldback current
limiting, the nominal startup current supplied to the load
is approximately 5.7A, and may be as low as 4A. This current limit increases linearly until the FB pin exceeds 0.6V
(VOUT > 5.1V). An electronic constant current load set to
≤ 20 amps will not permit the circuit to turn on unless it
is gated on by the PG signal (as would be the case with a
DC/DC converter controlled by the PG signal). Resistive
loading will not have this problem.

dc2116a-a Quick Start Procedure
Turn on the power supply; verify the input voltage is 12V.
Verify the output voltage and the load current; D3 and D4
should both be illuminated (input voltage and output voltage, respectively) and both D1 (FLT) and D2 (PG) should be
off. On power-up, observe the slope of VOUT. This should
be in the range of 0.15 to 0.55V/ms, corresponding to a
ramp-up time of 22ms to 80ms to 12V. With the circuit
functioning, additional evaluations can now be performed.
OV/UV/PG thresholds – Set the input supply to zero and
ramp the voltage slowly, observing the following events.
Above 10.0V, the circuit will be out of UV lockout and the
output should ramp up, lighting D4. Above 10.9V the FB
pin will be past its threshold, asserting the PG pin high and
extinguishing D2. Increasing the supply past 15.2V will
engage OV lockout; D4 will extinguish and D2 will light.
Note that the voltages indicated in this step are maximums,
taking into consideration the tolerances of the resistors
and the LTC4234 thresholds.
Current Limit Thresholds – With the input supply set to
12V, load the output with a 0.59Ω power resistor capable of
dissipating 300W. Power should remain on, as the current
will be below the 20A minimum current limit threshold.
Next, load the output with a 0.48Ω power resistor. Power
should be interrupted, as the current will be above the 25A
maximum current limit threshold.
Inrush into capacitive load – One of the main functions of
a Hot Swap circuit is to provide controlled ramp-up into a
capacitive load to avoid disturbing the input power supply. For the following tests, ensure that the AUTORETRY
jumper is set to OFF and the TIMER DURATION jumper
is set to 2.0ms. To guarantee that current limit is never
reached during ramp-up into a capacitor, the current must
be less than the minimum current limit threshold of 4A
when the gate ramp rate is at its maximum value of 0.6V/
ms. (Note that the minimum current limit threshold occurs
when the FB pin is at 0V.)
C = i/(dV/dt) = 4A/(0.6V/ms) = 6667µF
Thus the circuit will always power up successfully with a
6000µF capacitor at VOUT, and observation of the TIMER
turret post will show that it never begins to ramp.
DC2116A-B Quick Start Procedure
The LTC4233, on the DC2116A-B, should be tested as
above with actual values scaled to values shown in the
data sheet.
