DC2161A - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC2161A
LTC4231 Micropower
Hot Swap Controller
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2161A showcases the LTC®4231
Micropower Hot Swap™ Controller in a 12V, 3A application. Included on the board are input overvoltage and
reverse voltage protection, input voltage dividers for UV
and OV detection, an output voltage LED, jumpers to
disable UV/OV, manual and remote enable control, and
quiescent current measurement. There are turrets provided
to monitor input voltage, output voltage, output status,
quiescent current, several ground connections, timer pin,
and control the ON pin. Input, output and return voltages
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
are provided on banana jacks. The DC2161A-A version is
used to demonstrate the LTC4231-1 which remains off
after a current fault, while the DC2161A-B demonstrates
the LTC4231-2 which automatically reapplies power after
a cool-down period.

JUMPERS
DC2161A contains 3 jumpers. A description of each
jumper follows.
JP1, UV/OV. This jumper selects whether or not undervoltage or overvoltage lockout is enabled. When the jumper
is in the disable position, a UV or OV condition will not
block operation of the Hot Swap Controller. The default
is ENABLE.
JP2, IQ. The LTC4231 is a low power device, meaning it
draws very little current to perform its function. Any board
leakage on the GATE pin caused by board contamination or
a defective MOSFET will cause this current to increase. JP2,
when in the MEASURE IQ position, facilitates measurement
of the quiescent current of the LTC4231 exclusive of the
current of other components on the board, such as LED
D2, output coupling capacitor C3, TVS diode D1, capacitor
C1, voltage divider R6, R7, R8 and R9, or any leakage on
the board. This current is measured via a microammeter
connected between turret E7 and GND. If the MEASURE IQ
position is selected, verify a microammeter is connected
to prevent damage to the board via leakage between VIN
and the gate of the MOSFETs. The default position for JP2
is NORMAL.
JP3, ENABLE. This jumper either enables or disables the
output or provides external control of the output. This is
provided by the ON pin of the LTC4231. When in the ON
position, the 12V VOUT is enabled. When in the OFF position, the 12V VOUT is disabled. When in the EXT position,
the ON pin is connected via a 100kΩ resistor from turret
E9 to the ON pin of the LTC4231. A logic 1 on this pin will
enable the 12V VOUT. The default position for JP3 is ON.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LTC4231 is a Micropower Hot Swap Controller that
has a 2.7V to 36V operating range and a –40V to 40V absolute maximum voltage for the IN pin. This demo circuit
is populated for +12V operation, but it can easily be readjusted for any voltage between 2.7V and 36V by replacing R6, R7, R8, and R9 in the UVL, UVH, and OV divider
string. These values should be selected using guidelines
suggested in the LTC4231 data sheet to minimize current
drain. The DC2161A is populated with a Si7960DP dual
MOSFET with one section used as a pass MOSFET and the
other section used for reverse voltage protection. It also
has a 15mΩ sense resistor. This combination provides
an output current of 3A. Pads are provided on the PCB
for external MOSFET and sense resistor connections for
other voltages and currents.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
DC2161A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance
of the LTC4231.
Connect a power supply capable of delivering greater than
3.5A of current between 10V and 20V to the VIN jack J1
with its return lead connected to GND J2. Monitor the input
voltage at turrets E1 and E2. Place a voltmeter between
turrets E3 and E4. Connect an ammeter between J3 and the
test loads. Connect the return lead of the test loads to jack
J4. The connections are shown schematically in Figure 1.
The active load should be set to provide a resistive load
since the LTC4231 may not start into a constant current
load. With the resistive load set at 5.4Ω, vary the input
voltage from 9V to 17V and from 17V to 9V to check the
UV and OV thresholds.
Set the input voltage to 12V, vary the load resistance, and
observe output indicator D2. Determine from the ammeter
that the output remains on at 3A (4Ω). The output should
turn off at approximately 3.2A.
Reduce the load resistance to below 4Ω and observe an
auto reset in the DC2161A-B. In the DC2161A-A, power
will have to be removed and then applied to the input to
reset the LTC4231.
Remove the resistive load from the output and replace it
with a 500µF capacitor. Observe the polarity when connecting the capacitor. Upon application of input voltage,
LED D2 should illuminate to indicate VOUT is present. This
indicates the Hot Swap Controller is capable of starting
into a 500µF capacitor.
