DEMO MANUAL DC2060A
LTC4229
Single Ideal Diode and
Hot Swap Controller
Description
Demonstration circuit 2060A is a single-rail circuit with
an ideal diode and Hot Swap™ functionality provided by
the LTC®4229, ideal diode and Hot Swap controller. The
main components of this circuit are two series connected
N-channel MOSFETs, a power sense resistor, a few passive components, nine jumpers for selection of alternative
operation modes, and four LEDs for visual indication of
the controller signals. One of the MOSFETs operates as an
ideal diode and the other one as a Hot Swap power switch.
DC2060A facilitates evaluation of the LTC4229 in the different operation modes such as supply ramp-up, steady
state, overcurrent faults, and power supply switchover.
Power supply switchover mode can be realized when the
LTC4229 controller operates in a prioritizer set up or when
a second ideal diode circuit is added.
The DC2060A circuit is assembled to operate with a 12V
supply and 10A maximum current load. The operating
voltage can be easily readjusted for any voltage between
2.9V and 18V.
Pads on key nodes are intended to be used as test points.
The LTC4229 controller has two independent pins (SENSE+
and SENSE–) for the current sense signal. That simplifies
using two configurations with the series connection of the
ideal diode MOSFET and Hot Swap MOSFET. The ability of
the LTC4229 to regulate the ideal diode voltage between the
IN and DSNS pins allows the use of two distinctive paths

PARAMETER
for the ideal diode voltage regulation. The combination of
both features allows the implementation of four different
configurations.
The typical configuration (as DC2060A is populated by
default) has the ideal diode MOSFET ahead of the Hot
Swap MOSFET with voltage regulation across the ideal
diode MOSFET. There is an option to use two back-to-back
MOSFETs instead of one ideal diode MOSFET to prevent
powering the load before the gate voltage of the ideal diode
MOSFET ramps up.
The LTC4229 provides voltage regulation to the ideal
diode across the single ideal diode MOSFET or across
three series connected components: ideal diode MOSFET,
sense resistor, and Hot Swap MOSFET.
The bottom side of the board includes pads for an alternative configuration with the Hot Swap MOSFET located
ahead of the ideal diode.
Provision is made for the selection of ideal diode regulation components: single ideal diode MOSFET or series
connected ideal diode MOSFET, sense resistor, and Hot
Swap MOSFET.

Operating Principles
The LTC4229 functions as an ideal diode with inrush current limiting and overcurrent protection by controlling two
external N-channel MOSFETs (Q2 and Q3) in a power path.
High pull-up current of the ideal diode MOSFET guarantees
minimum voltage droop during supply switchover and a
short turn-on time.
All component designators refer to the DC2060A schematic.
Enabling the Hot Swap control with the EN pin (low)
initiates a debounce time interval, which can be fixed at
100ms, or 8.9ms to 17.5ms set by the capacitor C9 on
the DTMR pin.
An internal charge pump provides energy for both MOSFET
gate drivers through their individual current sources. Each
MOSFET has an ON/OFF control: Q2 with DOFF pin signal
(JP9) and Q3 with EN pin signal (JP7).
The LTC4229 regulates the voltage between the IN pin
and the diode sense pin (DSNS), so the DSNS connection defines the power path node in which the ideal diode
regulates the voltage. There is an option (JP2) to connect
the DSNS pin to Q2 drain or to the OUT node. Selection
of this connection should be accompanied by a suitable
signal at the DCFG pin. The proper signal is reached by
placing the shunt of the jumper DC_CFG(JP8) in the
proper position.
Table 1 demonstrates possible power path topologies
for DC2060A and conditions necessary to achieve them.
The LTC4229 precision comparators are used to monitor
the input voltage for both UV and OV conditions. Enabling
the ideal diode functionality with the DOFF pin (low) forces
the ideal diode gate drive amplifier to monitor the voltage
between the IN and DSNS pins. Sensing the large forward
voltage drop, the gate drive amplifier quickly pulls up
DGATE turning the ideal diode MOSFET on.
2
The foldback current limit and electronic circuit breaker of
the Hot Swap MOSFET protect the input rail against short
circuit faults and excessive load.
After the debounce time, a 10µA current source from the
charge pump ramps up the HGATE pin. When the Hot Swap
MOSFET Q3 turns on, the maximum current is limited to
a level set by an external sense resistor RS1 (or RS2 in
the optional application with Q4 MOSFET).
When both MOSFETs Q2 and Q3 (or Q4 and Q5 in the
optional application) are turned on, the gate drive amplifier
controls DGATE to servo the forward voltage drop across
the MOSFET Q2 (or both MOSFETs and sense resistor)
to 65mV. If the load current causes more than 65mV of
voltage drop, the gate voltage rises to enhance the ideal
diode MOSFET.
If the MOSFETs are conducting, and an input supply is
shorted, a large reverse current starts flowing from the load
to the input. The gate drive amplifier detects this failure
condition as soon as it appears and turns the ideal diode
MOSFET Q2 off, by pulling down the DGATE pin. The HGATE
pin continues pulling high and keeps the MOSFET Q3 on.

Quick Start Procedure
Demonstration circuit DC2060A can be easily set up to
evaluate the performance of the LTC4229. Refer to Figure 1
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below.
Hot Swap Functionality Test
Initially the jumpers should be installed in the following
positions:
JP1 (FB_SEL) 12V
JP2 (DS_SEL) SENSE+
JP3 (DSTAT_SEL) NC
JP4 (VIN_SEL) VS+

JP5 (DEBOUNCE) ADJ
JP6 (RETRY) LATCH
JP7 (EN_SEL) DIS_EXT
JP8 (DC_CFG) 1-DIODE
JP9 (DIODE_OFF) ON
The test is performed by measuring the parameters in the
three different operation modes:
• Power-up with no load connected
• Current limit operation after successful power-up mode
• Power-up with a shorted output
dc2060af
DEMO MANUAL DC2060A
Quick Start Procedure
1.Connect a 12V power supply to the board input turrets
IN and GND. Do not load the output. Use the current
probe to monitor current into the wire between the 12V
supply and board turret. Place the voltage probes on
the OUT turret.
Provide the EN signal by changing the shunt position
of JP7 and observe the transient. The output voltage
rise time should be in the range of 9.2ms to 19ms. The
PWRGD green LED (D5) should light up. Turn off the
rail with JP7.
2.Initially adjust the electronic load to 2.0Ω to 2.5Ω (in the
constant resistive mode) and connect it to the board OUT
and GND turrets. Turn on the rail and slowly increase
the load current up to the circuit breaker threshold level.
The current limit range should be from 8.9A to 11.2A.
Reset the controller by turning off the rail voltage.
3.Short the output to ground with a wire. Place the current probe on this wire. Turn on the rail and record the
current shape. The maximum current should be in the
2.4A to 4.3A range while the fault timer capacitor is
ramping from 0.9ms to 1.8ms. After a fault, the Hot
Swap MOSFET will be off approximately 50 times longer.
Ideal Diode Functionality Test
An additional 12V regulated power supply and a Schottky
diode are needed for this test.
Connect the positive terminal of this supply through the
Schottky diode to the DC2060A SENSE+ jack and the
negative terminal to GND. Place a voltmeter between the
IN and SENSE+ turrets to measure the difference between
the two input voltages. Activate both rails and keep a load
of around 1A to 3A. Adjust the input voltage levels and
verify that when the difference between the input voltages
exceeds 65mV only one rail powers the load.
