The LTC®4229 offers ideal diode and Hot Swap™ functions
for a power rail by controlling two external N-channel MOSFETs. The MOSFET acting as an ideal diode replaces a high
power Schottky diode and the associated heat sink, saving
power and board area. The Hot Swap MOSFET control allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live
backplane by limiting inrush current. The supply output is
also protected against short-circuit faults with a fast acting
foldback current limit and electronic circuit breaker.
The LTC4229 regulates the forward voltage drop across
the external MOSFET to ensure smooth current transfer
in diode-OR applications. The ideal diode turns on quickly
to reduce the load voltage droop during supply switchover. If the input supply fails or is shorted, a fast turn-off
minimizes reverse-current transients.
The LTC4229 provides adjustable start-up delay, undervoltage and overvoltage protection, and reports fault and
power good status for the supply. It can be configured
for latch off or automatic retry after a fault.

Pin Functions
CPO: Charge Pump Output. Connect a capacitor from
CPO to the DSRC pin. The value of this capacitor is approximately 10× the gate capacitance (CISS) of the external
MOSFET for ideal diode control. The charge stored on this
capacitor is used to pull up the ideal diode MOSFET gate
during a fast turn-on. Leave this pin open if fast ideal diode
turn-on is not needed.
DCFG: Logic Input. Configures status indication of DFLT
output depending on diode sense (DSNS) connection.
Connect this pin to GND when the diode sense is only
across the ideal diode MOSFET. Connect to INTVCC when
the diode sense is across the ideal diode MOSFET, sense
resistor and Hot Swap MOSFET.
DFLT: Diode MOSFET Fault Status Output. This pin is pulled
low by an internal switch when the voltage between IN and
DSNS exceeds 250mV. The external ideal diode MOSFET
is not turned off during the fault. An internal 10µA current
source pulls this pin up to a diode below INTVCC. It may
be pulled above INTVCC using an external pull-up. Leave
open if unused.
DGATE: Ideal Diode MOSFET Gate Drive Output. Connect
this pin to the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET
for ideal diode control. An internal clamp limits the gate
voltage to 12V above and a diode voltage below DSRC.
During fast turn-on, a 1.5A pull-up charges DGATE from
CPO. During fast turn-off, a 1.5A pull-down discharges
DGATE to DSRC.
DOFF: Control Input. A rising edge above 1.235V turns off
the external ideal diode MOSFET and a falling edge below
1.215V allows the MOSFET to be turned on.
DSNS: Ideal Diode Output Voltage Sense Input. Connect
this pin to the output of either the ideal diode MOSFET or
the Hot Swap MOSFET for diode output sense. The voltage
sensed at this pin is used to control DGATE for forward
voltage regulation and reverse turn-off.
DSRC: Ideal Diode’s MOSFET Gate Drive Return. Connect
this pin to the source of the external N-channel MOSFET
switch. The gate fast pull-down current returns through
this pin when DGATE is discharged.
DSTAT: Diode MOSFET Status Output. Open drain output
that pulls low when the MOSFET gate drive voltage between
DGATE and DSRC exceeds 0.7V. Otherwise it goes high
impedance and requires an external pull-up resistor to a
positive supply as there is no internal 10µA current source
at this pin. Leave open if unused.
DTMR: Debounce Timer Capacitor Terminal. Connect
this pin to either INTVCC for fixed 100ms delay or an
external capacitor to ground for adjustable start-up delay
(123ms/µF) when EN toggles low.
EN: Enable Input. Ground this pin to enable Hot Swap control. If this pin is pulled high, the MOSFET is not allowed
to turn on. A 10µA current source pulls this pin up to a
diode below INTVCC. Upon EN going low when UV is high
and OV is low, there is a start-up delay for debounce as
configured at the DTMR pin, after which the fault is cleared.
Exposed Pad (UFD Package): The exposed pad may be
left open or connected to device ground.
FAULT: Overcurrent Fault Status Output. Output that pulls
low when the fault filter times out during an overcurrent
fault. Otherwise it is pulled high by a 10µA current source
to a diode below INTVCC. It may be pulled above INTVCC
using an external pull-up. Leave open if unused.
FB: Foldback and Power Good Comparator Input. Connect
this pin to an external resistive divider from OUT. If the
voltage falls below 1.215V, the PWRGD pin pulls high to
indicate the power is bad. If the voltage falls below 0.9V,
the output power is considered bad and the current limit
is reduced. Tie to INTVCC to disable foldback.
FTMR: Fault Timer Capacitor Terminal. Connect a capacitor
between this pin and ground to set a 12ms/µF duration
for current limit before the external Hot Swap MOSFET is
turned off. The duration of the off time is 11s/µF, resulting
in a 0.1% duty cycle.

Pin Functions
HGATE: Hot Swap MOSFET Gate Drive Output. Connect
this pin to the gate of the external N-channel MOSFET for
Hot Swap control. An internal 10µA current source charges
the MOSFET gate. An internal clamp limits the gate voltage
to 12V above and a diode voltage below OUT. During an
undervoltage or overvoltage generated turn-off, a 2mA
pull-down discharges HGATE to ground. During an output
short or INTVCC undervoltage lockout, a fast 200mA pulldown discharges HGATE to OUT.
IN: Positive Supply Input. The 5V INTVCC supply is generated from IN, SENSE+ and OUT via an internal diode-OR.
The voltage sensed at this pin is used to control DGATE.
INTVCC: Internal 5V Supply Decoupling Output. This pin
must have a 0.1µF or larger capacitor. An external load of
less than 500µA can be connected at this pin. An undervoltage lockout threshold of 2.2V will turn off both MOSFETs.
OUT: Hot Swap’s MOSFET Gate Drive Return. Connect
this pin to the output side of the external MOSFET. The
gate fast pull-down current returns through this pin when
HGATE is discharged.
OV: Overvoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin to an
external resistive divider from IN or SENSE+ to monitor
the supply overvoltage condition. If the voltage at this pin
rises above 1.235V, an overvoltage fault is detected and
the Hot Swap MOSFET turns off. Tie to GND if unused.
RTMR: Auto-Retry Timer Capacitor Terminal. Connect this
pin to INTVCC for fault latch off. Leave open for auto-retry
with 0.1% duty cycle after a fault. Connect an external
capacitor to extend the Hot Swap MOSFET off time set
by the FTMR pin capacitor to less than 0.1% auto-retry
duty cycle after a fault.
SENSE+: Positive Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to
the input of the current sense resistor. The voltage sensed
at this pin is used for monitoring the current limit. This
pin has an undervoltage lockout threshold of 1.9V that
will turn off the Hot Swap MOSFET.
SENSE–: Negative Current Sense Input. Connect this pin
to the output of the current sense resistor. The current
limit circuit controls HGATE to limit the voltage between
SENSE+ and SENSE– to 25mV or less depending on the
voltage at the FB pin.
UV: Undervoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin to
an external resistive divider from IN or SENSE+ to monitor
the supply undervoltage condition. If the voltage at this
pin falls below 1.155V, an undervoltage fault is detected
and the Hot Swap MOSFET turns off. Pulling the UV pin
below 0.6V resets the fault latch after an overcurrent fault.
Tie to INTVCC if unused.
PWRGD: Power Status Output. Output that pulls low when
the FB pin rises above 1.235V and the MOSFET gate drive
between HGATE and OUT exceeds 4.2V. Otherwise it is
pulled high by a 10µA current source to a diode below
INTVCC. It may be pulled above INTVCC using an external
pull-up. Leave open if unused.

LTC4229
Operation
The LTC4229 functions as an ideal diode with inrush current limiting and overcurrent protection. It controls two
external N-channel MOSFETs on a supply path, a diode
MOSFET (MD) and a Hot Swap MOSFET (MH).
When the LTC4229 is first powered up, the gates of the
external MOSFETs are held low, keeping them off. The gate
drive amplifier (GD) monitors the voltage between the IN
and DSNS pins and drives the DGATE pin. The amplifier
quickly pulls up the DGATE pin, turning on the MOSFET for
ideal diode control, when it senses a large forward voltage
drop. An external capacitor connected between the CPO
and DSRC pins provides the charge needed to quickly
turn on the ideal diode MOSFET. An internal charge pump
charges up this capacitor at device power-up. The DGATE
pin sources current from the CPO pin and sinks current
into the DSRC and GND pins. When the DGATE to DSRC
voltage exceeds 0.7V, the DSTAT pin pulls low to indicate
that the ideal diode MOSFET is turned on.
If the LTC4229 is out of undervoltage and overvoltage
conditions, pulling the EN pin low initiates a debounce
timing cycle that can be a fixed 100ms or adjustable delay
as configured at the DTMR pin. After this timing cycle, a
10µA current source from the charge pump ramps up
the HGATE pin. When the Hot Swap MOSFET turns on,
the inrush current is limited at a level set by an external
sense resistor (RS) connected between the SENSE+ and
SENSE– pins. An active current limit amplifier (CL) servos
the gate of the MOSFET to 25mV or less across the current sense resistor depending on the voltage at the FB
pin. Inrush current can be further reduced, if desired, by
adding a capacitor from HGATE to GND. When FB voltage
rises above 1.235V and the MOSFET’s gate drive (HGATE
to OUT voltage) exceeds 4.2V, the PWRGD pin pulls low.
When both of the MOSFETs are turned on, the gate drive
amplifier controls DGATE to servo the forward voltage
drop (VIN – VDSNS) across the sense resistor and the two
10
MOSFETs to 50mV if DSNS and OUT pins are connected
together. If the load current causes more than 50mV of
voltage drop, the DGATE voltage rises to enhance the
MOSFET used for ideal diode control. For large output
currents, the ideal diode MOSFET is driven fully on and the
voltage drop across the MOSFETs is equal to the sum of the
ILOAD • RDS(ON) of the two MOSFETs in series. However, if
DSNS and SENSE+ pins are connected together, the gate
drive amplifier attempts to regulate 50mV across the ideal
diode MOSFET only regardless of the ILOAD • RDS(ON) drop
across the Hot Swap MOSFET.
In the case of an input supply short circuit when the MOSFETs are conducting, a large reverse current starts flowing
from the load towards the input. The gate drive amplifier
detects this failure condition and turns off the ideal diode
MOSFET by pulling down the DGATE pin.
In the case where an overcurrent fault occurs on the supply
output, the current is limited with foldback. After a delay
set by 100µA charging the FTMR pin capacitor, the fault
filter times out and pulls the HGATE pin low, turning off
the Hot Swap MOSFET. The FAULT pin is also latched low.
At this point, the DGATE pin continues to pull high and
keeps the ideal diode MOSFET on.
Internal clamps limit both the DGATE to DSRC and CPO to
DSRC voltages to 12V. The same clamps also limit the CPO
and DGATE pins to a diode voltage below the DSRC pin.
Another internal clamp limits the HGATE to OUT voltage
to 12V and also clamps the HGATE pin to a diode voltage
below the OUT pin.
Power to the LTC4229 is supplied from either the IN,
SENSE+ or OUT pins, through an internal diode-OR circuit
to a low dropout regulator (LDO). That LDO generates a
5V supply at the INTVCC pin and powers the LTC4229’s
internal low voltage circuitry

Applications Information
Internal VCC Supply
High availability systems often employ parallel-connected
power supplies or battery feeds to achieve redundancy
and enhance system reliability. Power ORing diodes are
commonly used to connect these supplies at the point
of load at the expense of power loss due to significant
diode forward voltage drop. The LTC4229 minimizes this
power loss by using an external N-channel MOSFET as
the pass element, allowing for a low voltage drop from the
supply to the load when the MOSFET is turned on. When
an input source voltage drops below the output common
supply voltage, the appropriate MOSFET is turned off,
thereby matching the function and performance of an ideal
diode. By adding a current sense resistor in between the
two external MOSFETs that are separately controlled, the
LTC4229 enhances the ideal diode performance with inrush
current limiting and overcurrent protection (see Figure 1).
This allows the board to be safely inserted and removed
from a live backplane without damaging the connector.

The LTC4229 operates with an input supply from 2.9V to
18V. The power supply to the device is internally regulated
at 5V by a low dropout regulator (LDO) with an output at
the INTVCC pin. An internal diode-OR circuit selects the
highest of the supplies at the IN, SENSE+ and OUT pins to
power the device through the LDO. The diode-OR scheme
permits the device’s power to be kept alive by the OUT
voltage when the IN and SENSE+ supplies have collapsed
or shut off.
An undervoltage lockout circuit prevents all of the MOSFETs
from turning on until the INTVCC voltage exceeds 2.2V. A
0.1µF capacitor is recommended between the INTVCC and
GND pins, close to the device for bypassing. No external
supply should be connected at the INTVCC pin so as not
to affect the LDO’s operation. A small external load of less
than 500µA can be connected at the INTVCC pin.

Applications Information
DSNS and DCFG Configuration
Turn-On Sequence
The LTC4229 features the DSNS and DCFG pins that allow
a diode-OR circuit output to be configured either at the
SENSE+ or OUT pin (see Figure 2). If DSNS is connected
to SENSE+, the forward voltage is sensed across the ideal
diode MOSFET MD. As the Hot Swap MOSFET MH is not
part of the diode sensing, connect the DCFG pin to GND
so that the Hot Swap MOSFET gate overdrive will not be
considered as a criterion for the ideal diode MOSFET fault
status indication at the DFLT pin. If DSNS is connected to
OUT, the forward voltage is sensed across the ideal diode
MOSFET, sense resistor and Hot Swap MOSFET. Since
the Hot Swap MOSFET is part of the diode sensing and is
turned off at start-up, the DFLT pin may be falsely pulled
low to indicate an open ideal diode MOSFET fault when the
forward voltage exceeds 250mV. For such a configuration,
connect DCFG pin to INTVCC so that the Hot Swap MOSFET
gate overdrive condition will be considered to avoid false
indication of the DFLT output status.
The board power supply at the OUT pin is controlled with
two external N-channel MOSFETs (MD, MH) in Figure 1. The
MOSFET MD on the supply side functions as an ideal diode,
while MH on the load side acts as a Hot Swap controlling
the power supplied to the output load. The sense resistor
RS monitors the load current for overcurrent detection. The
HGATE capacitor CHG controls the gate slew rate to limit
the inrush current. Resistor RHG with CHG compensates
the current control loop, while RH prevents high frequency
oscillations in the Hot Swap MOSFET.
D1
Before the Hot Swap MOSFET can be turned on, the UV
and OV pin voltage requirements should be met and EN
must remain low for a debounce cycle as configured at the
DTMR pin, to ensure that any contact bounces during the
insertion have ceased. At the end of the debounce cycle,
the internal fault latch is cleared. The Hot Swap MOSFET
is then allowed to turn on by charging up HGATE with a
10µA current source from the charge pump. The voltage
at the HGATE pin rises with a slope equal to 10µA/CHG and
the supply inrush current flowing into the load capacitor

During a normal power-up, the ideal diode MOSFET turns
on first. As soon as the internally generated supply, INTVCC,
rises above its 2.2V undervoltage lockout threshold, the
internal charge pump is allowed to charge up the CPO pin.
The gate drive amplifier controls the gate of the ideal diode
MOSFET, to servo its forward voltage drop between the IN
and DSNS pins to 50mV. If the forward drop is large, the
gate drive amplifier will cause DGATE to be pulled up to
the CPO pin voltage and drive the MOSFET gate fully on.

The OUT voltage follows the HGATE voltage when the Hot
Swap MOSFET turns on. If the voltage across the current
sense resistor RS becomes too high based on the FB pin
voltage, the inrush current will be limited by the internal
current limiting circuitry. Once the MOSFET gate overdrive
exceeds 4.2V and the FB pin voltage is above 1.235V, the
PWRGD pin pulls low to indicate that the power is good.

LTC4229
Applications Information
Once OUT reaches the input supply voltage, HGATE continues to ramp up. An internal 12V clamp limits the HGATE
voltage above OUT.
Turn-Off Sequence
The external MOSFETs can be turned off by a variety of
conditions. A normal turn-off for the Hot Swap MOSFET is
initiated by pulling the UV pin below its 1.155V threshold
(80mV UV pin hysteresis), or pulling the EN pin above its
1.235V threshold. Additionally, an overvoltage fault or
overcurrent fault that exceeds the fault filter time-out also
turns off the Hot Swap MOSFET. Normally, the LTC4229
turns off the MOSFET by pulling the HGATE pin to ground
with a 2mA current sink.
All of the MOSFETs turn off when INTVCC falls below its
undervoltage lockout threshold (2.2V). The DGATE pin is
pulled down with a 100µA current to one diode voltage
below the DSRC pin, while the HGATE pin is pulled down
to the OUT pin by a 200mA current.
The gate drive amplifier controls the ideal diode MOSFET to
prevent reverse current when the input supply falls below
DSNS (connects to either SENSE+ or OUT). If the input
supply collapses quickly, the gate drive amplifier turns
off the ideal diode MOSFET with a fast pull-down circuit.
If the input supply falls at a more modest rate, the gate
drive amplifier controls the MOSFET to maintain DSNS
at 50mV below IN.
Board Presence Detect with EN
After the input has settled to within the OV and UV limits,
and the EN pin goes low indicating a board presence, the
LTC4229 initiates a timing cycle as configured at the DTMR
pin for contact debounce. It defaults to internal 100ms
delay if DTMR is tied to INTVCC. If an external capacitor
CDT is connected from the DTMR pin to GND, the delay
is given by charging the capacitor to 1.235V with a 10µA
current. Thereafter, the capacitor is discharged to ground
by a 5mA current. For a given debounce delay, the equation
for setting the external capacitor CDT value is:
Upon board insertion, any bounces on the EN pin restart
the timing cycle. When the debounce timing cycle is done,
the internal fault latch is cleared. If the EN pin remains low
at the end of the timing cycle, HGATE is charged up with
a 10µA current source to turn on the Hot Swap MOSFET.
If the EN pin goes high, indicating a board removal, the
HGATE pin is pulled low with a 2mA current sink after a
20µs delay, turning off the Hot Swap MOSFET without
clearing any latched fault.
Overcurrent Fault
The LTC4229 features an adjustable current limit with
foldback that protects the external MOSFET against short
circuits or excessive load current. The voltage across the
external sense resistor RS is monitored by an active current
limit amplifier. The amplifier controls the gate of the Hot
Swap MOSFET to reduce the load current as a function of
the output voltage sensed by the FB pin during active current
limit. A graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics
shows the current limit sense voltage versus FB voltage.
An overcurrent fault occurs when the output has been in
current limit for longer than the fault filter delay configured
at the FTMR pin. Current limiting begins when the sense
voltage between the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins reaches
8.3mV to 25mV depending on the FB pin voltage. The
gate of the Hot Swap MOSFET is brought under control
by the current limit amplifier and the output current is
regulated to limit the sense voltage to less than 25mV. At
this point, the fault filter starts the timeout with a 100µA
current charging the FTMR pin capacitor. If the FTMR
pin voltage exceeds its 1.235V threshold, the external
MOSFET turns off with HGATE pulled to ground by 2mA,
and FAULT pulls low.
After the Hot Swap MOSFET turns off, the FTMR pin capacitor is discharged with a 2µA pull-down current until
its threshold reaches 0.2V. This is followed by a cool-off
period of 14 timing cycles as described in the FTMR Pin
Functions. Figure 3 shows an overcurrent fault on the
12V output.

resistor exceeds the foldback current limit threshold (from

it pulls down with 2µA. The fault filter times out when the

pin to pull low. For a given fault filter delay, the equation

Figure 4. Severe Short-Circuit on 12V Output
In the event of a severe short-circuit fault on the 12V
output as shown in Figure 4, the output current can surge
to tens of amperes. The LTC4229 responds within 1µs to
bring the current under control by pulling the HGATE to
OUT voltage down to zero volts. Almost immediately, the
gate of the Hot Swap MOSFET recovers rapidly due to the
charge stored in the RHG and CHG network, and current
is actively limited until the fault filter times out. Due to
parasitic supply lead inductance, an input supply without
any bypass capacitor may collapse during the high current surge and then spike upwards when the current is
interrupted. Figure 13 shows the input supply transient
suppressors consisting of Z1, RSNUB and CSNUB for the
supply if there is no input capacitance.
FTMR Pin Functions
An external capacitor CFT connected from the FTMR pin
to GND serves as fault filtering when the supply output is
in active current limit. When the voltage across the sense

After the fault filter timeout, the FTMR pin capacitor pulls
down with 2µA from the 1.235V FTMR threshold until it
reaches 0.2V. Then, it completes 14 cooling cycles consisting of the FTMR pin capacitor charging to 1.235V with a
100µA current and discharging to 0.2V with a 2µA current.
At that point, the HGATE pin voltage is allowed to start up
if the fault has been cleared as described in the Resetting
Fault section. When the latched fault is cleared during the
cool-off period, the FAULT pin pulls high. The total cool-off
time for the MOSFET after an overcurrent fault is:
After the cool-off period, the HGATE pin is only allowed
to pull up if the fault has been cleared for the latchoff
configuration. For the auto-retry configuration, the latched
fault is cleared automatically following the extended cooloff period and the HGATE pin voltage is allowed to restart.
Resetting Fault
For the latchoff configuration with the RTMR pin tied to
INTVCC, an overcurrent fault is latched after fault filter
times out, and the FAULT pin is asserted low. To reset a
latched fault and restart the output, pull the UV pin below
0.6V for more than 100µs and then high above 1.235V.
The fault latch resets and the FAULT pin deasserts on the
falling edge of the UV pin. When UV goes high again, a
debounce timing cycle is initiated before the HGATE pin
voltage restarts. Toggling the EN pin high and then low again
also resets a fault, but the FAULT pin pulls high at the end
of the debounce cycle before the HGATE pin voltage starts
up. Bringing the supply below the INTVCC undervoltage
lockout threshold (2.2V) shuts off all the MOSFETs and
resets the fault latch. A debounce cycle is initiated before
a normal start-up when the supply is restored above the
INTVCC UVLO threshold.

Applications Information
Auto-Retry After a Fault
Monitor Overvoltage and Undervoltage Faults
For the auto-retry configuration, if the RTMR pin is left
open, the latched fault is reset automatically at the end of
the cool-off period as described in the FTMR Pin Functions
section. In this case, the auto-retry duty cycle is equal to
0.1%, irrespective of CFT. If an external capacitor CRT is
connected from the RTMR pin to GND, the cool-off time can
be further extended by another 15 cooling cycles consisting of the RTMR pin capacitor charging to 1.235V with a
10µA current and discharging to 0.2V with a 5mA current.
For a given additional cool-off time for the MOSFET, the
equation for setting the external capacitor CRT value is:
Both the OV and UV pins function as an input supply
monitor while UV pin also functions as a turn-on control.
A resistive divider connected between the input supply
(IN or SENSE+) and GND at the OV and UV pins monitors
the supply for overvoltage and undervoltage conditions.
The overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds are set by
proper selection of the resistors at their respective OV and
UV rising threshold voltage (1.235V).
CRT = tXCOOL • 0.54 [µF/s]
At the end of the extended cool-off period, the fault latch
is cleared and FAULT pulls high. The HGATE pin voltage
is allowed to start up and turn on the Hot Swap MOSFET.
If the output short persists, the supply powers up into a
short with active current limiting until the fault filter times
out and FAULT again pulls low. A new extended cool-off
cycle begins with FTMR ramping down with a 2µA current.
The whole process repeats itself until the output short is
removed.
The auto-retry duty cycle is given by:
Duty Cycle =
tFF
• 100%
tCOOL + t XCOOL
For example, if CFT = 0.1µF, CRT = 1µF and tFF = 1.2ms,
the auto-retry duty cycle is calculated as 0.04%. Figure 5
shows an auto-retry sequence after an overcurrent fault.
For Figure 1, if R1 = 2k, R2 = 1.1k and R3 = 21.5k, the
input supply overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds are
set to 15.2V and 9.8V respectively.
An overvoltage fault occurs if the input supply rises above
its overvoltage threshold. The Hot Swap MOSFET is
turned off by a 2mA pull-down from HGATE to ground. If
the input supply subsequently falls below its overvoltage
threshold, the Hot Swap MOSFET is allowed to turn on
immediately. The OV pin voltage is 1.215V when falling
out of overvoltage.
An undervoltage fault occurs if the input supply falls below
its undervoltage threshold. If the UV pin voltage falls below
1.155V but remains above 0.6V, the Hot Swap MOSFET
is turned off by a 2mA pull-down from HGATE to ground.
The Hot Swap MOSFET turns back on instantly without
the debounce cycle when the input supply rises above its
undervoltage threshold. However, if the UV pin voltage
drops below 0.6V, it turns off the Hot Swap MOSFET and
clears the fault latch. The Hot Swap MOSFET turns back
on only after a debounce cycle when the input supply is

During the overvoltage and undervoltage fault conditions,
FAULT will not be pulled low but PWRGD will be pulled
high as HGATE is pulled low. The ideal diode function
controlled by the ideal diode MOSFET is not affected by
the OV and UV fault conditions.

comparator drives high when the FB pin rises above
1.235V, and drives low when FB falls below 1.215V. The
power good status for the input supply is reported via an
open-drain output, PWRGD. It is normally pulled high by
an external pull-up resistor or the internal 10µA pull-up.
The PWRGD pin pulls low when the FB power good comparator is high and the HGATE drive exceeds 4.2V. The
PWRGD pin goes high when the HGATE is turned off by the
UV, OV or EN pins, or when the FB power good comparator
drives low, or when INTVCC enters undervoltage lockout.
CPO and DGATE Start-Up
In applications where a single ideal diode MOSFET is placed
on the supply side, CPO is initially pulled up to a diode
below the DSRC pin when first powered up (see Figure
13). In back-to-back MOSFETs applications, CPO starts
off at 0V, since DSRC is near ground (see Figure 14). CPO
starts ramping up 7µs after INTVCC clears its undervoltage lockout level. Another 40µs later, DGATE also starts
ramping up with CPO. The CPO ramp rate is determined
by the CPO pull-up current into the combined CPO and
DGATE pin capacitances. An internal clamp limits the
CPO pin voltage to 12V above the DSRC pin, while the
final DGATE pin voltage is determined by the gate drive
amplifier. An internal 12V clamp limits the DGATE pin
voltage above DSRC.
at IN is between 2.9V and 7V. When the supply voltage
at IN is greater than 7V, the gate drive is guaranteed to
be greater than 10V. The gate drive is limited to 14V. An
external Zener diode can be used to clamp the potential
from the MOSFET’s gate to source if the rated breakdown
voltage is less than 14V.
The maximum allowable drain-source voltage BVDSS
must be higher than the supply voltage including supply
transients as the full supply voltage can appear across the
MOSFET. If an input or output is connected to ground, the
full supply voltage will appear across the MOSFET. The
RDS(ON) should be small enough to conduct the maximum
load current, and also stay within the MOSFET’s power
rating.
Supply Transient Protection
When the capacitances at the input and output are very
small, rapid changes in current during input or output
short-circuit events can cause transients that exceed the
24V absolute maximum ratings of the IN and OUT pins.
To minimize such spikes, use wider traces or heavier
trace plating to reduce the power trace inductance. Also,
bypass locally with a 10µF electrolytic and 0.1µF ceramic,
or alternatively clamp the input with a transient voltage
suppressor Z1. A 100Ω, 0.1µF snubber damps the response
and eliminates ringing (see Figure 13).
CPO Capacitor Selection
Design Example
The recommended value of the capacitor between the CPO
and DSRC pins is approximately 10× the input capacitance
CISS of the ideal diode MOSFET. A larger capacitor takes a
correspondingly longer time to charge up by the internal
charge pump. A smaller capacitor suffers more voltage
drop during a fast gate turn-on event as it shares charge
with the MOSFET gate capacitance.
As a design example for selecting components, consider
a 12V system with a 7.6A maximum load current for the
input supply (see Figure 1).
MOSFET Selection
First, select the appropriate value of the current sense
resistor RS for the 12V supply. Calculate the sense resistor
value based on the maximum load current ILOAD(MAX) and
the lower limit for the current limit sense voltage threshold
ΔVSENSE(TH)(MIN).

The LTC4229 drives N-channel MOSFETs to conduct the
load current. The important features of the MOSFETs are
on-resistance RDS(ON), the maximum drain-source voltage
BVDSS and the threshold voltage.
Choose a 2.5mΩ sense resistor with a 1% tolerance.
The gate drive for the ideal diode and Hot Swap MOSFET is
guaranteed to be greater than 5V when the supply voltage
Next, calculate the RDS(ON) of the ideal diode MOSFET

The SiR818DP offers a good choice with a maximum
RDS(ON) of 2.8mΩ at VGS = 10V. The input capacitance
CISS of the SiR818DP is about 3660pF. Slightly exceeding
the 10× recommendation, a 0.1µF capacitor is selected
for C2 at the CPO pin.
Next, verify that the thermal ratings of the selected Hot
Swap MOSFET are not exceeded during power-up or an
overcurrent fault.
Assuming the MOSFET dissipates power due to inrush
current charging the load capacitor CL at power-up, the
energy dissipated in the MOSFET is the same as the energy
stored in the load capacitor, and is given by:
1
ECL = • CL • VIN2

For CL = 680µF, the time it takes to charge up CL is calculated as:
tCHARGE =
CL • VIN 680µF • 12V

The inrush current is set to 1A by adding capacitance CHG
at the gate of the Hot Swap MOSFET.
CHG =

IINRUSH
=

Choose a practical value of 10nF for CHG.
The average power dissipated in the MOSFET is calculated as:
PAVG =
ECL
tCHARGE
2
1 680µF • (12V )
= •
= 6W
2
8ms
The MOSFET selected must be able to tolerate 6W for 8ms
during power-up. The SOA curves of the SiR818DP provide
45W (1.5A at 30V) for 100ms. This is sufficient to satisfy
the requirement. The increase in junction temperature due
to the power dissipated in the MOSFET is ΔT = PAVG • ZthJC
where ZthJC is the junction-to-case thermal impedance.
Under this condition, the SiR818DP data sheet indicates
that the junction temperature will increase by 3°C using
ZthJC = 0.5°C/W (single pulse).
Next, the power dissipated in the MOSFET during an
overcurrent fault must be safely limited. The fault timer
capacitor (CFT) is used to prevent power dissipation in
the MOSFET from exceeding the SOA rating during active
current limit. A good way to determine a suitable value
for CFT is to superimpose the foldback current limit profile
shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics on the
MOSFET data sheet’s SOA curves.
For the SiR818DP MOSFET, this exercise yields the plot
in Figure 6.

As can be seen, the LTC4229’s foldback current limit
profile roughly coincides with the 100ms SOA contour.
Since this SOA plot is for an ambient temperature of 25°C
only, a maximum fault filter time of much less than 100ms
should be considered, such as 10ms or less. Selecting a
0.1μF ± 10% value for CFT yields a maximum fault filter
time of 1.75ms which should be small enough to protect
the MOSFET during any overcurrent fault scenario.
Next, select the values for the resistive divider at the OV
and UV pins that define the overvoltage and undervoltage
threshold of 15.2V and 9.8V respectively for the 12V input
supply. Since the leakage currents for the OV and UV pins
can be as high as ±1μA each, the total resistance in the
divider should be low enough to minimize the resulting

PCB Layout Considerations
To achieve accurate current sensing, a Kelvin connection
for the sense resistor is recommended. The PCB layout
should be balanced and symmetrical to minimize wiring
errors. In addition, the PCB layout for the sense resistor
and the power MOSFET should include good thermal
management techniques for optimal device power dissipation. A recommended PCB layout is illustrated in Figure 7.
Connect the IN and OUT pin traces as close as possible to
the MOSFET’s terminals. Keep the traces to the MOSFETs
wide and short to minimize resistive losses. The PCB traces
associated with the power path through the MOSFETs
should have low resistance. The suggested trace width for

Applications Information
1oz copper foil is 0.03" for each ampere of DC current to
keep PCB trace resistance, voltage drop and temperature
rise to a minimum. Note that the sheet resistance of 1oz
copper foil is approximately 0.5mΩ/square, and voltage
drops due to trace resistance add up quickly in high current applications.
It is also important to place the bypass capacitor C1 for
the INTVCC pin, as close as possible between INTVCC and
GND. Also place C2 near the CPO and DSRC pins. The
transient voltage suppressor Z1, when used, should be
mounted close to the LTC4229 using short lead lengths.
Flexible Configuration for Ideal Diode and Hot Swap
MOSFET
The LTC4229 offers the flexibility to swap the ordering of
the MD and MH N-channel MOSFETs for the ideal diode
and Hot Swap control respectively between the supply
and load side.
Figure 8 shows a configuration that allows two input supplies to be diode-ORed at SENSE+ pin followed by Hot Swap
control for a card-resident application. For applications
where the LTC4229 resides on the backplane, the two
supplies are diode-ORed at the output as shown in Figures
9 and 10. Figure 11 depicts an application where placing
the MD MOSFET downstream of the MH MOSFET allows a
dedicated bypass capacitor to keep alive its small load after
power is removed at the input. Unlike the circuit in Figure
9 where the SENSE+ pin is protected from momentary
negative input transients by the ideal diode, the loads in
Figures 10 and 11 are much more susceptible to brownouts.
This is because input transients that dip below the SENSE+
pin’s 1.9V UVLO threshold can cause the HGATE pin to pull
low thus discharging the MH MOSFET’s gate capacitance
as well as any external capacitance which can result in a
lengthy recovery time for the Hot Swap controller.
Since the LTC4229’s ideal diode and Hot Swap controllers
operate independently, the MD and MH MOSFETs can also
be configured to operate on two different supplies at the
same time as shown in Figure 12. If one of the supplies
is not available, the LTC4229 will continue to operate with
the remaining supply since the internal INTVCC regulator
is powered from an internal diode-OR of the IN, SENSE+
and OUT pins.
Power Prioritizer
Figure 14 shows an application where either of two supplies is passed to the output on the basis of priority, rather
than simply allowing the highest voltage to prevail. The 5V
primary supply (VIN1) is passed to the output whenever it
is available; power is drawn from the 12V backup supply
(VIN2) only when the primary supply is unavailable. As long
as VIN1 is above the 4.7V threshold set by the R6-R7 divider
at the DOFF pin, back-to-back ideal diode MOSFETs, MD1
and MD2, are turned off, allowing VIN1 to be connected to
the output through MD3 that is controlled by another ideal
diode controller LTC4352. The common source terminals
of MD1 and MD2 are connected to DSRC pin, which allows
the body-diode of MD1 to reverse block the current flow
from the higher backup supply (VIN2) to the output. If the
primary supply fails and VIN1 drops below 4.3V, DOFF is
allowed to turn on MD1 and MD2, and connect the VIN2 to
the output. When VIN1 returns to a viable voltage, MD1 and
MD2 turn off, and the output is connected to VIN1. Adding
R8 in the R6-R7 divider and bypassing it with DSTAT pin
control, allows the DOFF pin hysteresis to be increased
from 20mV to 100mV. The resistive divider at OV and
UV pins set the SENSE+ overvoltage and undervoltage
thresholds to 15V and 4.1V respectively.
Hot Swap Followed by Ideal Diode Application
Figure 15 shows an application whereby the Hot Swap
MOSFET is placed on the supply side and the ideal diode
MOSFET on the load side with the source terminals connected together. The ideal diode voltage is sensed across
MD at IN and DSNS pins. If the 12V power supply is connected, it supplies power to the load and also charges up
the standby battery cell at SENSE+ through MH and R6
as MD is turned off. If the power supply is disconnected,
the power to the load is provided by the standby battery
as MD turns on. Since the LTC4229’s internal 12V clamp
only limits the HGATE-to-OUT pin voltage, the gate-tosource breakdown voltage of the Hot Swap MOSFET can
be exceeded when the input is connected to ground. An
external Zener diode clamp is required between the GATE
and SOURCE pins of the MOSFET to prevent it from breaking down.
