The ADM1172 is a hot swap controller that safely enables a
printed circuit board to be removed and inserted to a live
backplane. This is achieved using an external N-channel power
MOSFET with a current control loop that monitors the load
current through a sense resistor. An internal charge pump is
used to enhance the gate of the N-channel FET. When an overcurrent condition is detected, the gate voltage of the FET is
reduced to limit the current flowing through the sense resistor.
During an overcurrent condition, the TIMER pin capacitor
determines the amount of time the FET remains at a current
limiting mode of operation until it is shut down. The ON
(ON-CLR) pin is the enable input for the device and can be
used to monitor the input supply voltage. The ADM1172
operates with a supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 16.5 V.
APPLICATIONS
Hot swap board insertion: line cards, raid systems
Industrial high-side switches/circuit breakers
Electronic circuit breakers
The ADM1172 also features a power-fail comparator. The
voltage on the PFI pin is compared with an internal 0.6 V
reference, and the output of this comparator is presented on
the PFO pin. This device is available in two options: the
ADM1172-1 with automatic retry for overcurrent fault and the
ADM1172-2 with latch-off for an overcurrent fault. Toggling
the ON (ON-CLR) pin resets a latched fault. The ADM1172 is
packaged in an 8-lead TSOT.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

Description
Timer Input Pin. The initial and circuit breaker timing cycles are set by this external capacitor. The initial timing
delay is 272.9 ms/μF, and 21.7 ms/μF for a circuit breaker delay. When the TIMER pin is pulled beyond the upper
threshold, the GATE turns off.
Chip Ground Pin.
Power-Fail Comparator Output. Digital output from the power-fail comparator.
Input Pin. The ON (ON-CLR) pin is an input to a comparator that has a low-to-high threshold of 1.3 V with 80 mV
hysteresis and a glitch filter. The ADM1172 is reset when the ON (ON-CLR) pin is low. When the ON (ON-Error!)
pin is high, the ADM1172 is enabled. A rising edge on this pin has the added function of clearing a fault and
restarting the device on the latched off model, the ADM1172-2.
Gate Output Pin. An internal charge pump provides a 12 μA pull-up current to drive the gate of an N-channel
MOSFET. In an overcurrent condition, the ADM1172 controls the external FET to maintain a constant load
current.
Power-Fail Comparator Input. Comparator threshold = 0.6 V.
Current Limit Sense Input Pin. The current limit is set via a sense resistor between the VCC and SENSE pins. In an
overcurrent condition, the gate of the FET is controlled to maintain the SENSE voltage at 50 mV. When this limit is
reached, the TIMER circuit breaker mode is activated. The circuit breaker limit can be disabled by connecting the
VCC pin and SENSE pin together.
Positive Supply Input Pin. The ADM1172 operates between 2.7 V to 16.5 V. An undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
circuit with a glitch filter resets the ADM1172 when the supply voltage drops below the specified UVLO limit.

ADM1172
THEORY OF OPERATION
Many systems require the insertion or removal of circuit boards
to live backplanes. During this event, the supply bypass and holdup capacitors can require substantial transient currents from the
backplane power supply as they charge. These currents can
cause permanent damage to connector pins or undesirable glitches
and resets to the system.
The ADM1172 is intended to control the powering of a system
(on and off) in a controlled manner, allowing the board to be
removed from, or inserted into, a live backplane by protecting it
from excess currents. The ADM1172 can reside either on the
backplane or on the removable board.
OVERVIEW
The ADM1172 operates over a supply range of 2.7 V to 16.5 V.
As the supply voltage is coming up, an undervoltage lockout
circuit checks if sufficient supply voltage is present for proper
operation. During this period, the FET is held off by the GATE
pin being held to GND. When the supply voltage reaches a level
above UVLO and the ON (ON-CLR) pin is high, an initial timing
cycle ensures that the board is fully inserted in the backplane
before turning on the FET. The TIMER pin capacitor sets the
periods for all of the TIMER pin functions. After the initial
timing cycle, the ADM1172 monitors the inrush current
through an external sense resistor. Overcurrent conditions are
actively limited to 50 mV/RSENSE for the circuit breaker timer
limit. The ADM1172-1 automatically retries after a current
limit fault and the ADM1172-2 latches off. The retry duty cycle
on the ADM1172-1 timer function is limited to 3.8% for FET
cooling.
delay time at card insertion. If using a short pin system to
enable the device, a pull-down resistor should be used to hold
the device prior to insertion.
GATE
Gate drive for the external N-channel MOSFET is achieved
using an internal charge pump. The gate driver consists of a
12 μA pull-up from the internal charge pump. There are various
pull-down devices on this pin. At a hotswap condition the board
is hot inserted to the supply bus. During this event, it is possible
for the external FET GATE capacitance to be charged up by the
sudden presence of the supply voltage. This can cause
uncontrolled inrush currents. An internal strong pull-down
circuit holds GATE low while in UVLO. This reduces current
surges at insertion. After the initial timing cycle, the GATE is
then pulled high. During an overcurrent condition, the
ADM1172 servos the GATE pin in an attempt to maintain a
constant current to the load until the circuit breaker timeout
completes. In the event of a timeout, the GATE pin abruptly
shuts down using the 4 mA pull-down device. Care must be
taken not to load the GATE pin resistively because this reduces
the gate drive capability.
CURRENT LIMIT FUNCTION
The ADM1172 features a fast response current control loop that
actively limits the current by reducing the gate voltage of the
external FET. This current is measured by monitoring the
voltage drop across an external sense resistor. The ADM1172
tries to regulate the gate of the FET to achieve a 50 mV voltage
drop across the sense resistor.
UVLO
CALCULATING THE CURRENT LIMIT
If the VCC supply is too low for normal operation, an undervoltage lockout circuit holds the ADM1172 in reset. The GATE
pin is held to GND during this period. When the supply reaches
this UVLO voltage, the ADM1172 starts when the ON (ON-CLR)
pin condition is satisfied.
The sense resistor connected between VCC and the SENSE pin is
used to determine the nominal fault current limit. This is given
by the following equation:
ON (ON-CLR) PIN
The ON (ON-CLR) pin is the enable pin. It is connected to a
comparator that has a low-to-high threshold of 1.3 V with 80 mV
hysteresis and a glitch filter. The ADM1172 is reset when the
ON (ON-CLR) pin is low. When the ON (ON-CLR) pin is high,
the ADM1172 is enabled. A rising edge on this pin has the
added function of clearing a fault and restarting the device on
the latched off model, the ADM1172-2. A low input on the ON
(ON-CLR) pin turns off the external FET by pulling the GATE
pin to ground and resets the timer. An external resistor divider at
the ON (ON-CLR) pin can be used to program an undervoltage
lockout value higher than the internal UVLO circuit. There is a
glitch filter delay of approximately 3 μs on rising allowing the
addition of an RC filter at the ON (ON-CLR) pin to increase the
ILIMITNOM = VCBNOM/RSENSENOM
(1)
The minimum load current is given by Equation 2
ILIMITMIN = VCBMIN/RSENSEMAX
(2)
The maximum load current is given by Equation 3.
ILIMITMAX = VCBMAX/RSENSEMIN
(3)
For proper operation, the minimum current limit must exceed
the circuit maximum operating load current with margin. The
sense resistor power rating must exceed
(VCBMAX)2/RSENSEMIN
CIRCUIT BREAKER FUNCTION
When the supply experiences a sudden current surge, such as a
low impedance fault on load, the bus supply voltage can drop
significantly to a point where the power to an adjacent card is
affected, potentially causing system malfunctions. The
ADM1172 limits the current drawn by the fault by reducing the

gate voltage of the external FET. This minimizes the bus supply
voltage drop caused by the fault and protects neighboring cards.
When the initial cycle ends, a start-up cycle activates and the
GATE pin is pulled high; the TIMER pin continues to pull down.
As the voltage across the sense resistor approaches the current
limit, a timer activates. This timer resets again if the sense
voltage returns below this level. If the sense voltage is any
voltage below 44 mV, the timer is guaranteed to be off. Should
the current continue to increase, the ADM1172 tries to regulate
the gate of the FET to achieve a limit of 50 mV across the sense
resistor. However, if the device is unable to regulate the fault
current and the sense voltage further increases, a larger pulldown, in the order of milliamperes, is enabled to compensate
for fast current surges. If the sense voltage is any voltage greater
than 56 mV, this pull-down is guaranteed to be on. When the
timer expires, the GATE pin shuts down.

The TIMER pin is responsible for several key functions on the
ADM1172. A capacitor controls the initial power on reset time
and the amount of time an overcurrent condition lasts before
the FET shuts down. On the ADM1172-1, the timer pin also
controls the time between auto retry pulses. There are pull-up
and pull-down currents internally available to control the timer
functions. The voltage on the TIMER pin is compared with two
threshold voltages: COMP1 (0.2 V) and COMP2 (1.3 V). The
four timing currents are listed in Table 5.

This is the end of the first section of the initial cycle. The 100 μA

The ADM1172 is in reset when the ON (ON-CLR) pin is held
low. The GATE pin is pulled low and the TIMER pin is pulled
low with a 100 μA pull-down. At Time Point 2 in Figure 38, the
ON (ON-CLR) pin is pulled high. For the device to startup
correctly, the supply voltage must be above UVLO, the ON
(ON-CLR) pin must be above 1.3 V, and the TIMER pin voltage
must be less than 0.2 V. The initial timing cycle begins when these
three conditions are met, and the TIMER pin is pulled high with
5 μA. At Time Point 3, the TIMER reaches the COMP2 threshold.

CIRCUIT BREAKER TIMING CYCLE
When the voltage across the sense resistor exceeds the circuit
breaker trip voltage, the 60 μA timer pull-up current is activated.
If the sense voltage falls below this level before the TIMER pin
reaches 1.3 V, the 60 μA pull-up is disabled and the 2 μA pulldown is enabled. This is likely to happen if the overcurrent fault
is only transient, such as an inrush current. This is shown in
Figure 39. However, if the overcurrent condition is continuous
and the sense voltage remains above the circuit breaker trip
voltage, the 60 μA pull-up remains active. This allows the TIMER
pin to reach the high trip point of 1.3 V and initiate the GATE
shutdown. On the ADM1172-2, the TIMER pin continues pulling
up but switches to the 5 μA pull-up when it reaches the 1.3 V

threshold. The device can be reset by toggling the ON-CLR pin
or by manually pulling the TIMER pin low. On the ADM1172-1,
the TIMER pin activates the 2 μA pull-down once the 1.3 V
threshold is reached, and continues to pull down until it reaches
the 0.2 V threshold. At this point, the 100 μA pull-down is
activated and the GATE pin is enabled. The device keeps
retrying in the manner as shown in Figure 40.
The ADM1172-2 model has a latch off system whereby when a
current fault is detected, the GATE is switched off after a time
determined by the timer capacitor (see Figure 41 for details).
Toggling the ON-CLR pin, or pulling the TIMER pin to GND
for a brief period, resets this condition.
IRSENSE
The duty cycle of this automatic retry cycle is set to the ratio of
2 μA/60 μA, which approximates 3.8% on. The value of the
timer capacitor determines the on time of this cycle. This time
is calculated as follows:

Figure 40. ADM1172-1 Automatic Retry During Overcurrent Fault
AUTOMATIC RETRY OR LATCHED OFF
The ADM1172 is available in two models. The ADM1172-1
has an automatic retry system whereby when a current fault is
detected, the FET is shut down after a time determined by the
timer capacitor, and it is switched on again in a controlled continuous cycle to determine if the fault remains (see Figure 40
for details). The period of this cycle is determined by the timer
capacitor at a duty cycle of 3.8% on and 96.2% off.
The ADM1172 has an integrated comparator that can be used
as a power-fail/OV/UV detector. The comparator has a 0.6 V
reference, and it is designed to be active high when the voltage
on the PFI pin drops to below this threshold. The only action
that results from the PFI pin tripping the comparator is the
change of state on the PFO pin. The PFI pin can be used to
monitor the supply on either side of the FET, for an OV or UV
condition set by a resistor divider network. The PFO can then
be sent to a control system and used as a power-good/power-fail
signal. The PFO output has a 5 μA internal pull-up. A 10 kΩ
resistor is recommended on the PFO pin to ensure that it is
either pulled up or down during power-up. The pin is in high
impedance while VCC < UVLO and can result in invalid powerfail signals.
