The LTC®1422 is an 8-pin Hot SwapTM controller that
allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a
live backplane. Using an external N-channel pass transistor, the board supply voltage can be ramped up at a
programmable rate. A high side switch driver controls the
N-channel gate for supply voltages ranging from 2.7V to
12V.

PIN FUNCTIONS
RESET (Pin 1) : Open drain output to GND with a 12µA
pull-up to VCC. This pin is pulled low when the voltage at
the FB (Pin 5) goes below the FB pin threshold. The RESET
pin will go high one timing cycle after the voltage at the FB
pin goes above the FB pin threshold. An external pull-up
resistor can be used to speed up the rising edge on the
RESET pin or pull the pin to a voltage higher or lower than
VCC.
ON (Pin 2): Analog Input Pin. The threshold is set at 1.30V
with 80mV hysteresis. When the ON pin is pulled high, the
timer turns on for one cycle, then the charge pump turns
on. When the ON pin is pulled low longer than 40µs, the
GATE pin will be pulled low and remain off until the ON pin
is pulled high.
If the ON pin is pulled low for less than 15µs a soft reset
will occur. The charge pump remains on, and the RESET
pin is pulled low for one timing cycle starting 30µs from
the falling edge of the ON pin.
The ON pin is also used to reset the electronic circuit
breaker. If the ON pin is cycled low and high following the
trip of the circuit breaker, the circuit breaker is reset and
a normal power-up sequence will occur.
TIMER (Pin 3): Analog system timing generator pin. This
pin is used to set the delay before the charge pump turns
on after the ON pin goes high. It also sets the delay before
the RESET pin goes high, after the output supply voltage
is good, as sensed by the FB pin.
When the timer is off, an internal N-channel shorts the
TIMER pin to ground. When the timer is turned on, a 2µA
current from VCC is connected to the TIMER pin and the
voltage starts to ramp up with a slope given by: dV/dt =
2µA/CTIMER. When the voltage reaches the trip point
(1.232V), the timer will be reset by pulling the TIMER pin
back to ground. The timer period is given by: (1.232V •
CTIMER )/2µA.
GND (Pin 4): Chip Ground.
FB (Pin 5): Analog comparator input used to monitor the
output supply voltage with an external resistive divider.
When the voltage on the FB pin is lower than the 1.232V,
the RESET pin will be pulled low. An internal filter helps
prevent negative voltage glitches from triggering a reset.
When the voltage on the FB pin rises above the trip point,
the RESET pin will go high after one timing cycle.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GATE (Pin 6): The high side gate drive for the external
N-Channel. An internal charge pump guarantees at least
10V of gate drive. The slope of the voltage rise or fall at the
GATE is set by an external capacitor connected between
GATE and GND, and the 10µA charge pump output current. When the circuit breaker trips, the undervoltage
lockout circuit monitoring VCC trips, or the ON pin is pulled
low for more than 40µs, the GATE pin is immediately
pulled to GND.
the circuit breaker will trip when the voltage across the
resistor exceeds 50mV for more than 10µs. If the circuit
breaker trip current is set to twice the normal operating
current, only 25mV is dropped across the sense resistor
during normal operation. To disable the circuit breaker,
VCC and SENSE can be shorted together.
VCC (Pin 8): The positive supply input, ranging from 2.7V
to 13.2V for normal operation. ICC is typically 0.6mA. An
undervoltage lockout circuit disables the chip until the
voltage at VCC is greater than 2.47V.
SENSE (Pin 7) : Circuit Breaker Set Pin. With a sense
resistor placed in the supply path between VCC and SENSE,

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Hot Circuit Insertion
VCC + 10V
When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, the
supply bypass capacitors on the board can draw huge
transient currents from the backplane power bus as they
charge up. The transient currents can cause permanent
damage to the connector pins and cause glitches on the
system supply, causing other boards in the system to
reset.
The LTC1422 is designed to turn a board’s supply voltage
on and off in a controlled manner, allowing the board to be
safely inserted or removed from a live backplane. The chip
also provides a system reset signal to indicate when board
supply voltage drops below a programmable voltage.
Power Supply Ramping
The onboard power supply is controlled by placing an
external N-channel pass transistor in the power path
(Figure 1). R1 provides current fault detection and R2
prevents high frequency oscillation. By ramping up the
gate of the pass transistor at a controlled rate, the transient
surge current (I = C • dV/dt) drawn from the main backplane
supply can be limited to a safe value when the board makes
connection.

The ramp time for the supply is equal to: t = (VCC • C1)/
10µA. After the ON pin has been pulled low for more than
40µs, the GATE is immediately pulled to GND.
Voltage Monitor
The LTC1422 uses a 1.232V bandgap reference, precision
voltage comparator and a resistive divider to monitor the
output supply voltage (Figure 3).

Figure 4. Supply Monitor Waveforms
When the voltage at the FB pin rises above its reset
threshold (1.232V), the comparator COMP 2 output goes
high, and a timing cycle starts (Figure 4, time points 1 and
4). After a complete timing cycle, RESET is pulled high.
The 12µA pull-up current source to VCC on RESET has a
series diode so the pin can be pulled above VCC by an
external pull-up resistor without forcing current back into
supply.
When the supply voltage at the FB pin drops below its reset
threshold, the comparator Comp 2 output goes low. After
passing through a glitch filter, RESET is pulled low (time
point 2). If the FB pin rises above the reset threshold for
less than a timing cycle, the RESET output will remain low
(time point 3).

Figure 5. Soft Reset Waveforms
If the ON pin is held low for longer than 40µs, the gate will
turn off and the RESET pin will eventually go low (time
points 4, 5 and 6).
Timer
The system timing for the LTC1422 is generated by the
circuitry shown in Figure 6. The timer is used to set the
turn-on delay after the ON pin goes high and the delay
before the RESET pin goes high after the output supply
voltage is good as sensed by the FB pin.
Glitch Filter
The LTC1422 has a glitch filter to prevent RESET from
generating a system reset when there are transients on the
FB pin. The filter is 20µs for large transients (greater than
150mV) and up to 80µs for small transients. The relationship between glitch filter time and the transient voltage is
shown in Typical Performance curve: Glitch Filter Time vs
Feedback Transient.

In some cases a system reset is desired without a power
down. The ON pin can signal the RESET pin to go low
without turning off the external N-channel (a soft reset).
This is accomplished by holding the ON pin low for only
15µs or less (Figure 5, time point 1). At about 30µs from
the falling edge of the ON pin (time point 2) the RESET pin
goes low and stays low for one timing cycle.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
When the timer is off, the internal N-channel Q1 shorts the
TIMER pin to ground. When the timer is turned on, a 2µA
current from VCC is connected to the TIMER pin and the
voltage on the external capacitor C2 starts to ramp up with
a slope given by: dV/dt = 2µA/C2. When the voltage
reaches the trip point (1.232V), the timer will be reset by
pulling the TIMER pin back to ground. The timer period is
given by: (1.232V • C2)/2µA. For a 200ms delay, use a
0.33µF capacitor.

Electronic Circuit Breaker
The LTC1422 features an electronic circuit breaker function that protects against short circuits or excessive currents on the supply. By placing a sense resistor between
the supply input and SENSE pin, the circuit breaker will be
tripped whenever the voltage across the sense resistor is
greater than 50mV for more than 10µs. When the circuit
breaker trips, the GATE pin is immediately pulled to
ground and the external N-channel is quickly turned off.
When the ON pin is cycled off for greater than 40µs and
then on as shown in Figure 7, time point 7, the circuit
breaker is reset and another timing cycle is started.
At the end of the timer cycle (time point 8), the charge
pump will turn on again. If the circuit breaker feature is not
required, the SENSE pin should be shorted to VCC.
If more than 10µs of response time is needed to reject
supply noise, an external resistor and capacitor can be
added to the sense circuit as shown in Figure 8.
Connection Sense with ON Pin
The ON pin can be used to sense board connection to the
backplane as shown in Figure 9.
Using staggered connection pins, ground mates first to
discharge any static build up on the board, followed by the
VCC connection and all other pins. When VCC makes
connection, the bases of transistors Q3 and Q4 are pulled
high turning them on and pulling the ON pin to ground.
When the base connector pins of Q3 and Q4 finally mate
to the backplane, the bases are shorted to ground. This

because most people will rock the board back and forth to
get it seated properly.
A software-initiated power-down cycle can be started by
momentarily turning on transistor Q2, which will pull the
ON pin to ground. If the ON pin is held low for greater than
40µs, the GATE pin is pulled to ground. If the low pulse on
the ON pin is less than 15µs, a soft reset is generated.
Hot Swapping Two Supplies
With two external pass transistors, the LTC1422 can
switch two supplies. In some cases, it is necessary to bring
up the dominant supply first during power-up and ramp it
down last during the power-down phase. The circuit in
Figure 10 shows how to program two different delays for
the pass transistors. The 5V supply is powered up first. R1

Figure 10. Switching 5V and 3.3V
and C3 are used to set the rise and fall delays on the 5V
supply. Next, the 3.3V supply ramps up with a 20ms delay
set by R6 and C2. On the falling edge, the 3.3V supply
ramps down first because R6 is bypassed by the diode D1.
Using the LTC1422 as a Linear Regulator
The LTC1422 can be used to Hot Swap the primary supply
and generate a secondary low dropout regulated supply.
Figure 11 shows how to switch a 5V supply and create a
3.3V supply using the reset comparator and one additional transistor. The FB pin is used to monitor the 3.3V
output. When the voltage on the gate of Q2 increases, the
3.3V increases. At the 3.3V threshold, the reset comparator will trip. The RESET pin goes high which turns on Q3.
This lowers the voltage on the gate of Q2. This feedback
loop is compensated by the capacitor C1 and the resistors
R6 and R7.

Hot Swapping 48V DC/DC Module with
Active Low On/Off Control Signal
Using a 7.5V Zener and a resistor, the LTC1422 can switch
supplies much greater than the 12V VCC pin rating. As
shown in Figure 12, the switching FET Q1 is connected as
a common source driver rather than the usual source
follower used in previous applications. This allows the
ground of the LTC1422 to sit at the negative terminal of the
48V input. The clamp circuit of R5 and D1 provides power
to the LTC1422. The resistive divider R1 and R2 at the ON
pin monitors the input supply. The switching FET Q1 is
prevented from turning on until the input supply is at least
38V. Using the reset comparator to monitor the gate
voltage allows the module to be turned on after the gate
has reached a minimum level plus one timing cycle. A high
voltage transistor Q2 is used to translate the RESET signal
to the module On/Off input.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Since the pass transistor is in a common source configuration, care must be taken to limit the inrush current into
capacitor C3. One way is to precharge C3 using resistor
R4. As the input supply is ramping up, current is flowing
through R4 and charging the capacitor C3. Once the input
supply crosses 38V, there is a timing cycle followed by the
ramp-up of the GATE pin. By this time the capacitor C3 is
sufficiently charged, thereby limiting the inrush current.
Another method to limit the inrush current is to slow down
the ramp-up rate of the GATE pin.
plus a Zener voltage (D1) is more positive than the drain
of Q1 (in other words, when the switching FET Q1 has only
7.5V across its drain source).
Hot Swapping 48V Module with Isolated Controller
A power supervisory controller will sometimes reside on
an isolated supply with responsibility for other supplies.
Figure 15 shows how to Hot Swap a controller’s 5V supply
and a 48V module using two LTC1422s. Assuming the 5V
supply comes up first, the controller waits for a power
good signal from the 48V circuit. Once it receives the right
signals the controller activates the GATE IN pin of the Vicor
power module.
Hot Swapping 48V DC/DC Module with
Active High On/Off Control Signal
This application is identical to the previous except for the
polarity of the module’s on/off signal. The polarity reversal
is accomplished by transistor Q3 in Figure 13.
Power Supply Sequencer
A circuit that forces two supply voltages to power up
together is shown in Figure 16. The input supply voltages
may power up in any sequence, but both input voltages
must be within tolerance before Q1 and Q2 turn on. Backto-back transistors Q1 and Q2 ensure isolation between
the two supplies.
Hot Swapping Redundant 48V
In critical situations, redundant input supplies are necessary. In Figure 14 a redundant 48V input is switched to a
power module. Supplies 1 and 2 are wire OR’ed using two
diodes D2 and D3. This results in the most negative of
these two supplies being used to drive the power module.
If one of the supplies is disconnected or a fuse opens, the
fault signal will be activated via diodes D4 and D5 and the
reset comparator at the FB pin. The GATE IN signal on the
Vicor module is controlled using the high voltage PNP Q2.
Once the module’s minus input pin is more negative than
the base of Q2 plus a diode drop, Q2 will turn off and the
module will turn on. This occurs when the source of Q1
When the 5V input powers up before 3.3V, Q1 and Q2
remain off and the 5V output remains off until the 3.3V
input is within tolerance as sensed by resistors R1 and R2.
When the 3.3V input powers up before 5V, the diode D1
will pull up the 5V supply output with it. Once the 5V input
powers up and is within tolerance as sensed by R4 and R5,
Q1 and Q2 will turn on in about 1ms and pull the 5V output
up to its final voltage.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
Current Sensing with 48V Applications
In the LTC1422, the SENSE pin threshold is 50mV below
the VCC pin. Typically, the current sense resistor is connected to the VCC pin, but in 48V applications the sense
resistor is connected to the negative terminal of the 48V
supply. The circuit in Figure 17 translates the current in the
sense resistor to a resistor connected to the LTC1422
SENSE pin.
The mirror current can be described as: IMIRROR = ILOAD •
RSENSE/RMIRROR. The mirror current flows through the
trip resistor RTRIP. When the mirror current generates
50mV across RTRIP, the LTC1422 will latch the GATE pin
low (50mV = IMIRROR • RTRIP = ILOAD • RSENSE/RMIRROR •
RTRIP). This example uses a 48V input but this translation
circuit can be used anywhere the current sense resistor is
not tied to VCC.
The voltage drop across the current sense resistor RSENSE
is proportional to the load current ILOAD. The voltage drop
across RSENSE is buffered by the op amp follower and is
forced on RMIRROR.
