DESCRIPTION
ATCA AdvancedMC™ Compliant
Full Control for Two AdvancedMC™ Modules
Independent 12-V Current Limit and Fast Trip
3.3-V and 12-V FET ORing for MicroTCA™
Internal 3.3-V Current Limit and ORing
Power Good and Fault Reporting Through I2C
I2C Programmable Fault Times and Current
Limits
FET Status Bits for all Channels
36-Pin PQFN Package
The TPS2359 dual-slot hot-plug controllers perform
all necessary power interface functions for two
AdvancedMC™
(Advanced
Mezzanine
Card)
modules.
Two fully integrated 3.3-V channels provide inrush
control, over-current protection, and FET ORing. Two
12-V channels provide the same functions using
external FETs and sense resistors. The 3.3-V current
limits are factory set to AdvancedMC™ compliant
levels and the 12-V current limits are programmed
using external sense resistors. The accurate current
sense comparators of the TPS2359 satisfy the narrow
ATCA™ AdvancedMC™ current limit requirements.

SLUS792D – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2008 ................................................................................................................................................... www.ti.com
DETAILED PIN DESCRIPTION
A0, A1, A2 These three pins select one of 27 unique I2C addresses for address of the TPS2359. Each pin may
be tied to ground, tied to the VINT pin, or left open. See TPS2359 I2C Interface section for details.
AGND Ground pin for analog circuitry inside the TPS2359.
BLKx Gate drive pin for the 12x channel BLK FET. This pin sources 30 µA to turn the FET on. An internal clamp
prevents this pin from rising more than 14.5 V above OUT12x. Setting the ORENx bit low holds the BLKx pin
low.
EN3x Active-high enable input. Pulling this pin low turns off channel 3x by pulling the gate of the internal pass
FET to GND. An internal 200-kΩ resistor pulls this pin up to VINTwhen disconnected.
GNDx Ground pin for power circuitry associated with the 12x channel. These pins should connect to a ground
plane shared with the AGND pin.
IN12x Supply pin for channel 12x internal circuitry.
IN3x Supply pin for channel 3x internal pass FET.
IRPT Open drain output that pulls low when internal circuitry sets any of the eight status bits in Register 7.
Reading Register 7 restores IRPT to its high-Z state.
OUT12x Senses the output voltage of the channel 12x path.
OUT3x Output of the channel 3x internal pass FET.
PASSx Gate drive pin for the 12x channel PASS FET. This pin sources 30 µA to turn the FET on. An internal
clamps prevents this pin from rising more than 14.5 V above IN12x.
SCL Serial clock input for the I2C interface. For details of the SCL line, see TPS2359 I2C Interface section.
SDA Bidirectional I2C data line. For details of the SDA line, see TPS2359 I2C Interface section for details.
SENMx Senses the voltage on the low side of the channel 12x current sense resistor.
SENPx Senses the voltage on the high side of the channel 12x current sense resistor.
SETx A resistor connected from this pin to SENPx sets the current limit level in conjunction with the current
sense resistor and the resistor connected to the SUM12x pin, as described in 12-V thresholds – setting current
limit and fast over current trip section.
SUMx A resistor connected from this pin to ground forms part of the channel x current limit. As the current
delivered to the load increases, so does the voltage on this pin. When the voltage on this pin reaches a threshold
(by default 675 mV), the current limit amplifier acts to prevent the current from further increasing.
VDD3x Supply pin for channel3x internal circuitry.
VINT This pin connects to the internal 2.35-V rail. A 0.1-µF capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground.
One can connect the A0–A2 pins to this supply to pull them high, but no other external circuitry should connect to
VINT.

Control and Status Registers
Ten 8 bit registers are used to control and read the status of the TPS2359. Registers 0 and 1 control the 12A
channel and register 2 controls the 3A channel. Similarly, registers 3 and 4 control the 12B channel and register
5 controls the 3B channel. Register 6 contains eight general configuration bits. Read-only registers 7, 8, and 9
report back system status to the I2C controller. All ten registers use the I2C protocol and are organized as
follows:

12AOR

Clearing bit turns off 12A ORing FET by pulling BLKA low.
12ACL[3:0] These four bits adjusts the 12A current limit and fast trip threshold using the I2C interface. Setting
the bits to 1111B places the 12A current limit at its maximum level, corresponding to 675 mV at SUM12A. The
fast trip threshold then equals 100 mV. Clearing all bits reduces the current limit and fast trip threshold to 25% of
these maximums.
12APG[1:0] These two bits adjust the 12A power good threshold. Setting the bits to 11B places the power good
threshold at its maximum level of 10.5 V . Setting the bits to 00B places the threshold at its minimum level of 8.7
V. The lower thresholds may prove desirable in systems that routinely experience large voltage droops.
12AHP Setting this bit moves the 12A ORing turn off threshold from –3 mV to +3 mV. A positive threshold
prevents reverse current from flowing through the channel, but it may cause the ORing FET to repeatedly cycle
on-and-off if the load cannot maintain the required positive voltage drop across the combined resistance of the
external FETs and the sense resistor. For further information, see Adjusting Oring Turn Off threshold For High
Power Loads section
12AOR Clearing this bit forces the BLKA pin low, keeping the 12A ORing FET off. Clearing this bit does not
prevent current from flowing through the FET’s body diode.

12ADS
0
Clearing bit disconnects OUT12A bleed down resistor.
12AFT[4:0] These five bits adjust the 12A channel fault time. The least-significant bit has a nominal weight of 0.5
ms, so fault times ranging from 0.5 ms (for code 00001B) to 15.5 ms (for code 11111B) can be programmed. In
general the shortest fault time that fully charges downstream bulk capacitors without generating a fault should be
used. Once the load capacitors have fully charged, the fault time can be reduced to provide faster short circuit
protection. See Setting Fault Time section.
12AEN This bit serves as a master enable for channel 12A. Setting this bit allows the 12A channel to operate
normally. Clearing this bit disables the channel by pulling PASSA and BLKA low.
12AUV Setting this bit prevents channel 12A from turning on until OUT12A falls below the bleed down threshold
of 100 mV. This feature ensures that downstream devices reset by requiring their supply voltage to fall to nearly
zero before the channel can enable them.
12ADS Clearing this bit disconnects the bleed down resistor that otherwise connects from OUT12A to ground.
Systems using redundant power supplies should clear 12ADS to prevent the bleed down resistor from
continuously sinking current.

3AEN This bit serves as a master enable for channel 3A. Setting this bit allows the 3A channel to operate
normally, provided the EN3A pin is also asserted. Clearing this bit disables the channel by removing gate drive to
the internal pass FET, regardless of the state of the EN3A pin.
3AUV Setting this bit prevents channel 3A from turning on until OUT3A falls below the bleed down threshold of
100 mV. This feature ensures that downstream devices reset by requiring their supply voltage to fall to nearly
zero before the channel can enable them.

12BFT[4:0] These five bits adjust the 12B channel fault time. The least-significant bit has a nominal weight of 0.5
ms, so fault times ranging from 0.5 ms (for code 00001B) to 15.5 ms (for code 11111B) can be programmed. In
general the shortest fault time that fully charges downstream bulk capacitors without generating a fault should be
used. Once the load capacitors have fully charged, the fault time can be reduced to provide faster short circuit
protection. See Setting Fault Time section.
12BEN This bit serves as a master enable for channel 12B. Setting this bit allows the 12B channel to operate
normally. Clearing this bit disables the channel by pulling PASSB and BLKB low.
12BUV Setting this bit prevents channel 12B from turning on until OUT12B falls below the bleed down threshold
of 100 mV. This feature ensures that downstream devices reset by requiring their supply voltage to fall to nearly
zero before the channel can enable them.
12BDS Clearing this bit disconnects the bleed down resistor that otherwise connects from OUT12B to ground.
Systems using redundant power supplies should clear 12BDS to prevent the bleed down resistor from
continuously sinking current.

Setting bit allows the 12 V channels to operate despite loss of 3.3 V. For uTCA and
AMC applications this bit should be low.
PPTEST This bit is used for testing the fast turnoff feature of the PASSx and BLKx pins. Setting this bit enables
the fast turnoff drivers for all four pins. Clearing this bit restores normal operation. PPTEST allows the fast turnoff
drivers to operate at full current indefinitely, whereas they would normally operate for only about 15 S. While
using PPTEST the energy dissipated in the fast turnoff drivers must be externally limited to 1 mJ per driver to
prevent damage to the TPS2359.
FLTMODE Setting this bit allows a channel to attempt an automatic restart after an overcurrent condition has
caused it to time out and shut off. The retry interval equals approximately 100 times the programmed fault time.
The FLTMODE bit affects all four channels. If cross-connection is enabled (DCC = 0), a fault on channel 3A turns
off channel 12A, and a fault on channel 3B turns off channel 12B. If a 3.3-V channel automatically restarts
because FLTMODE = 1, the associated 12-V channel remains disabled until its enable bit (12AEN or 12BEN) is
cycled on and off.
SPARE This bit must always be set to 0.
3ORON Setting this bit allows the 3.3-V ORing function to operate normally. Clearing this bit prevents the 3.3-V
channels from disabling if their output voltage exceeds their input voltage . This bit is typically cleared for
non-redundant systems.
12VNRS Setting this bit increases the current limit for either 12-V channel to its maximum value during the initial
inrush period that immediately follows the enabling of the channel. During inrush, the current limit behaves as if
12xCL[3:0] = 1111B. After the current drops below this limit, signifying the end of the inrush period, the current
limit returns to normal operation.
AIRM Setting this bit prevents the 12APG, 12AFLT, 3APG, and 3AFLT bits from setting the IRPT pin.
BIRM Setting this bit prevents the 12APG, 12BFLT, 3BPG, and 3BFLT bits from setting the IRPT pin.
DCC Setting this bit disables cross-connection. If DCC = 0, when a 3.3-V channel experiences a fault, both it and
its associated 12-V channel turn off. Specifically, a fault on channel 3A turns off channel 12A, and a fault on
channel 3B turns off channel 12B. If DCC = 1, then the 12-V channels continue to operate even if their
associated 3.3-V channels experience faults.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Introduction
The TPS2359 controls two 12-V power paths and two 3.3-V power paths. Each power path can draw from a
single common supply, or from two independent supplies. The TPS2359 occupies a 36-pin QFN package. An I2C
interface not only enables the implementation of two AdvancedMC™ slots using one small integrated circuit, but
it also provides many opportunities for design customization. The following sections describe the main functions
of the TPS2359 and provide guidance for designing systems around this device.
Control Logic and Power-On Reset
The TPS2359's circuitry, including the I2C interface, draws power from an internal bus fed by a preregulator. A
capacitor attached to the VINT pin provides decoupling and output filtering for this preregulator. It can draw
power from any of four inputs (IN12A, IN12B, IN3A, or IN3B) or from any of four outputs (OUT12A, OUT12B,
OUT3A, or OUT3B). This feature allows the internal circuitry to function regardless of which channels receive
power, or from what source. The four external FET drive pins (PASSA, PASSB, BLKA, and BLKB) are held low
during startup to ensure that the two 12-V channels remain off. The internal 3.3-V channels are also held off.
When the voltage on the internal VINT rail exceeds approximately 1 V, the power-on reset circuit loads the
internal registers with the default values listed in Detailed Description of Registers section.
Enable Functions
Table 13 lists the specific conditions required to enable each of the four channels of the TPS2359. The 3.3-V
channels each have an active-high enable pin with a 200-kΩ internal pullup resistor. The enable pin must be
pulled high, or allowed to float high, in order to enable the channel. The I2C interface includes an enable bit for
each of the four channels. The bit corresponding to a channel must be set in order to enable it. All four channels
also include bleed down threshold comparators. Setting the bleed down control bit ensures that a channel cannot
turn on until its output voltage drops below about 100 mV. This feature supports applications in which removal
and restoration of power re-initializes the state of downstream loads. The 12-V channels also include a
cross-connection feature to support PICMG.AMC™ and MicroTCA™ requirements. When enabled, this feature
ensures that when a 3.3-V output drops below 2.85 V the associated 12-V channel will automatically shut off.
This feature can be disabled by setting the DCC bit in Register 6.

Current Limit and Fast Trip Thresholds
All four channels monitor current by sensing the voltage across a resistor. The 3.3-V channels use internal sense
resistors with a nominal value of 290 mΩ. The 12-V channels use external sense resistors that typically lie in the
range of 4 - 10 mΩ. Each channel features two distinct thresholds: a current limit threshold and a fast trip
threshold.
The current limit threshold sets the regulation point of a feedback loop. If the current flowing through the channel
exceeds the current limit threshold, then this feedback loop reduces the gate-to-source voltage imposed on the
pass FET. This causes the current flowing through the channel to settle to the value determined by the current
limit threshold. For example, when a module first powers up, it draws an inrush current to charge its load
capacitance. The current limit feedback loop ensures that this inrush current does not exceed the current limit
threshold.
The current limit feedback loop has a finite response time. Serious faults such as shorted loads require a faster
response in order to prevent damage to the pass FETs or voltage sags on the supply rails. A comparator
monitors the current flowing through the sense resistor, and if it ever exceeds the fast trip threshold, then it
immediately shuts off the channel. The channel turns back on slowly, allowing the current limit feedback loop
time to respond. One normally sets the fast trip threshold some 2 – 5 times higher than the current limit.

3.3V Current Limiting
The 3.3-V management power channels include internal pass FETs and current sense resistors. The
on-resistance of a management channel - including pass FET, sense resistor, metallization resistance, and bond
wires - typically equals 290 mΩ and never exceeds 500 mΩ. The AdvancedMC™ specification allows a total of 1
Ω between the power source and the load. The TPS2359 never consumes more than half of this budget.
The 3.3-V fast trip function protects the channel against short-circuit events. If the current through the channel
exceeds a nominal value of 300 mA, then the TPS2359 immediately disables the internal pass transistor and
then allows it to slowly turn back on into current limiting.
The 3.3-V current limit function internally limits the current to comply with the AdvancedMC™ and MicroTCA™
specifications. External resistor RSUM3x allows the user to adjust the current limit threshold. The nominal current
limit threshold ILIMIT equals
I LIMIT =
650V
RSUM 3 x
(1)
A 3320-Ω resistor gives a nominal current limit of ILIMIT = 195 mA which complies with AdvancedMC™ and
MicroTCA™ specifications. This resistance corresponds to an EIA 1% value. Alternatively, a 3.3-kΩ resistor will
also suffice. Whenever a 3.3-V channel enters current limit, its fault timer begins to operate (see Fault Timer
Programming section).
The 3.3-V over-temperature shutdown trips if a 3.3-V channel remains in current limit so long that the die
temperature exceeds approximately 140°C. When this occurs, any 3.3-V channel operating in current limit turns
off until the chip cools by approximately 10°C. This feature prevents a prolonged fault on one 3.3-V channel from
disabling the other 3.3-V channel, or disabling either of the 12-V channels.
3.3-V ORing
The 3.3-V channels limit reverse current flow by sensing the input-to-output voltage differential and turning off the
internal pass FET when this differential drops below -3 mV, which corresponds to a nominal reverse current flow
of 10 mA. The pass FET turns back on when the differential exceeds +10 mV. These thresholds provide a
nominal 13 mV of hysteresis to help prevent false triggering. This feature allows the implementation of redundant
power supplies (also known as supply ORing).
If the 3.3-V channels do not use redundant supplies, then one can clear the 3ORON bit to disable the ORing
circuitry. This precaution eliminates the chance that transients might trigger the ORing circuitry and upset system
operation.
12-V Fast Trip and Current Limiting
Figure 21 shows a simplified block diagram of the circuitry associated with the fast trip and current limit circuitry
within a 12-V channel. Each 12-V channel requires an external N-channel pass FET and three external resistors.
These resistors allow the user to independently set the fast trip threshold and the current limit threshold, as
described below.
The 12-V fast trip function protects the channel against short-circuit events. If the voltage across external resistor
RSENSE exceeds the 100-mV fast trip threshold, then the TPS2359 immediately disables the pass transistor. The
12xCL bits set the magnitude of the fast trip threshold. When 12xCL = 1111B, the fast trip threshold nominally
equals 100 mV. The fast trip current IFT corresponding to this threshold equals
I FT =
100mV

The recommended value of RSENSE = 5 mΩ sets the fast trip threshold at 20 A for 12xCL = 1111B. This choice of
sense resistor corresponds to the maximum 19.4-A inrush current allowed by the MicroTCA™ specification.
The 12-V current limit function regulates the PASSx pin voltage to prevent the current through the channel from
exceeding ILIMIT. The current limit circuitry includes two amplifiers, A1 and A2, as shown in Figure 21. Amplifier
A1 forces the voltage across external resistor RSET to equal the voltage across external resistor RSENSE. The
current that flows through RSET also flows through external resistor RSUM, generating a voltage on the 12SUMx
pin equal to:
æR

(3)
Amplifier A2 senses the voltage on the 12SUMx pin. As long as this voltage is less than the reference voltage on
its positive input (nominally 0.675 V for 12xCL = 0000B), the amplifier sources current to PASSx. When the
voltage on the 12SUMx pin exceeds the reference voltage, amplifier A2 begins to sink current from PASSx. The
gate-to-source voltage of pass FET MPASS drops until the the voltages on the two inputs of amplifier A2
balance. The current flowing through the channel then nominally equals:

I LIMIT = ç

(4)
The recommended value of RSUM is 6810 Ω. This resistor should never equal less than 675 Ω to prevent
excessive currents from flowing through the internal circuitry. Using the recommended values of RSENSE = 5 mΩ
and RSUM = 6810 Ω gives:
I LIMIT =
( 0.0198 A )
´ RSET

(5)
A system capable of powering an 80-Watt AdvancedMC™ module should provide 8.25 A, +/- 10%, according to
MicroTCA™ specifications. The above equation suggests RSET = 417 Ω. The nearest 1% EIA value equals 422
Ω. The selection of RSET for MicroTCA™ power modules is described in the Redundant vs. Non-redundant Inrush
Current Limiting section.

Redundant vs Non-Redundant Inrush Current Limiting
The TPS2359 can support either redundant or non-redundant systems. Redundant systems generally use a
single fixed current limit, as described above. Non-redundant systems can benefit from a higher current limit
during inrush to compensate for the lack of a redundant supply. The MicroTCA™ standard allows up to 19.4 A
for up to 200 ms in non-redundant systems, while limiting individual supplies in redundant systems to 9.1 A at all
times. One can optimize the performance of the system for either application by properly setting the 12VNRS bit
that controls inrush limiting. The ability to change the inrush profile using 12VNRS makes it possible to
reconfigure a controller for redundant or non-redundant operation with a single bit. This is particularly useful for
MicroTCA Power Modules which may be deployed in redundant or non-redundamnt systems.
The 12VNRS bit affects the value of the 12xCL bits during inrush. Setting 12VNRS causes the current limit
threshold and fast trip threshold to behave as if 12xCL = 1111B during inrush. Once the current flowing through
the channel falls below the current limit threshold, the current limit threshold and fast trip threshold correspond to
the actual values of the 12xCL bits.

Figure 22 helps illustrate the behavior of the 12VNRS bit. Figure 22A shows that setting the 12xCL bits to 1111B
results in a current limit equal to IMAX. Figure 22B shows how the 12xCL bits affect the current limit when the
12VNRS bit is cleared. Setting 12xCL = 0111B reduces the current limit to 60% of IMAX. Figure 22C shows how
the 12xCL bits affect the current limit when the 12VNRS bit is set. The current limit initially equals IMAX, but as
soon as the current drops below this level, the current limit resets to 60% of IMAX and remains there so long as
the channel remains enabled.

Example 1:
Set up 12A to start into an 80 W load and charge
a 1600 uF capacitor in less than 3 ms. Set an
operational ILIMIT of 8.25 A +/ - 10%.
First, calculate how much current is needed for
capacitor charging and powering the load;
ISTARTUP = ICHARGE + ILOAD = 6.4A + 6.67 A = 13.7 A
Where;
ICHARGE = CV/T = 1600uF x 12V / .003 s = 6.4 A
ILOAD = PLOAD / VLOAD = 80 W / 12V = 6.67 A
Now calculate RSET for an ILIMIT of 13.7 A.
RSET = ( ILIMIT x RSENSE x RSUM ) / 0.675
= 691 ! " ( closest 1% value = 698 !
)
Where;
RSUM = 6810 ! "
RSENSE = 5 m!
Now ILIMIT = 0.675RSET / ( RSUM RSENSE ) = 13.83 A
If R0 [3:0] are set to 0111 and R6 [4] = 1 the
current limit will drop to 60% of the programmed
maximum after dropping out of current limit
following inrush. The operational current limit is
now;
ILIMIT = 0.6 x IINRUSH = 0.6 x 13.83 = 8.3 A
The 8.3 A limit complies with 8.25 A +/ - 10 %.
Note - These calculations use all nominal values
and neglect di/dt rates at turn on.

Example 2:
Set up 12A to startup into an 80 W load and
charge a 1600 uF at not more than 17 A nominal.
Then drop to an operational ILIMIT of 8.25 A +/ 10%.
ISTARTUP = 17 A
First, the correct RSET must be found to set
maximum ILIMIT to less than 17 A.
RSET = ( ILIMIT x RSENSE x RSUM ) / 0.675
= 857 ! " ( closest 1% value = 845 !
)
Where;
RSUM = 6810 ! "
RSENSE = 5 m!
Now ILIMIT = 0.675RSET / ( RSUM RSENSE ) = 16.75 A
Neglecting current slew time, this will charge the
1600 uF capacitor in 1.9 ms.
If R0 [3:0] are set to 0101 and R6 [4] = 1 the
current limit will drop to 50% of the programmed
maximum after dropping out of current limit
following inrush. The operational current limit is
now;
ILIMIT = 0.5 x IINRUSH = 0.5 x 16.75 = 8.38 A
The new 8.38 A current limit is within the spec of
8.25 A +/ - 10 %.
Note - These calculations use all nominal values.

Multiswap Operation in Redundant Systems
TheTPS2359 features an additional mode of operation called Multiswap redundancy. This technique does not
require a microcontroller, making it simpler and faster than the redundancy schemes described in the
MicroTCA™ standard. Multiswap is especially attractive for AdvancedMC™ applications requiring redundancy,
but need not comply with the MicroTCA™ power module standard.
In order to implement multiswap redundancy, connect the SUM pins of the redundant channels together and tie a
single RSUM resistor from this node to ground. The current limit thresholds now apply to the sum of the currents
delivered by the redundant supplies. When implementing multiswap redundancy on 12-V channels, all of the
channels must use the same values of resistors for RSENSE and RSET.
Figure 25 compares the redundancy technique advocated by the MicroTCA™ specification with multiswap
redundancy. MicroTCA™ redundancy independently limits the current delivered by each power source. The
current drawn by the load cannot exceed the sum of the current limits of the individual power sources. Multiswap
redundancy limits the current drawn by the load to a fixed value regardless of the number of operational power
sources. Removing or inserting power sources within a multiswap system does not affect the current limit seen
by the load.

Cg
(6)
where ISRC equals the current sourced by the PASSx pin (nominally 30 µA) and Cg equals the effective gate
capacitance. For purposes of this computation, one can assume that the effective gate capacitance
approximately equals the reverse transfer capacitance, CRSS. To reduce the slew rate, increase Cg by connecting
additional capacitance from PASSx to ground. Place a resistor of at least 1000 Ω in series with the additional
capacitance to prevent it from interfering with the fast turn off of the FET.

12-V ORing Operation for Redundant Systems
The 12-V channels use external pass FETs to provide reverse current blocking. The TPS2359 pulls the BLKx pin
high when the input-to-output differential voltage IN12x-OUT12x exceeds a nominal value of 10 mV, and it pulls
the pin low when this differential falls below a nominal value of -3 mV. These thresholds provide a nominal 13
mV of hysteresis to help prevent false triggering.
The source of the blocking FET connects to the source of the pass FET, and the drain of the blocking FET
connects to the load. This orients the body diode of the blocking FET such that it conducts forward current and
blocks reverse current. The body diode of the blocking FET does not normally conduct current because the FET
turns on when the voltage differential across it exceeds 10 mV.
Applications that do not use the blocking FET should clear the associated 12xOR bit to turn off the internal
circuitry that drives the BLKx pin.
12-V ORing for High-Power Loads
The 12AHP and 12BHP bits adjust the ORing turn-off thresholds of the 12A and 12B channels, respectively.
Clearing these bits sets the ORing turn-off thresholds to the default nominal value of -3 mV. Setting these bits
shifts the thresholds up by 6 mV to a nominal value of +3 mV (Figure 27). Shifting the turn-off threshold to a
postive value ensures that the blocking FET shuts off before any reverse current flows.
A light load may not draw sufficient current to keep the input-to-output differential VIN12x–OUT12x above 3 mV.
When this happens, the blocking FET shuts off and then the differential voltage increases until it turns back on.
This process endlessly repeats, wasting power and generating noise. Therefore 12AHP or 12BHP should only be
set for high-power loads that satisfy the relationship
I LOAD >
10mV
RSENSE + RDSonPASS + RDSonBLK
(7)
where ILOAD equals the current drawn by the load, RSENSE equals the value of the sense resistor, RDS(on)PASS
equals the maximum on-resistance of the pass FET, and RDSo(n)BLK equals the maximum on-resistance of the
blocking FET.
Example: If RSENSE = RHSFET = RORFET = 5 mΩ then a high-power load must always draw at least 667 mA. Most,
although not all, AdvancedMC™ loads can benefit from using the high-power bits 12AHP and 12BHP.

Internal Bleed-Down Resistors and Bleed-Down Thresholds
The TPS2359 includes two features intended to support downstream loads that require removal and
reapplication of power to properly reset their internal circuitry. Disabling and re-enabling a channel of the
TPS2359 will not necessarily reset such a load because the capacitance attached to the output bus may not fully
discharge.
The TPS2359 includes four bleed down comparators that monitor the output rails through pins OUT12A,
OUT12B, OUT3A, and OUT3B. The I2C interface includes four bits that enable these comparators — 3ADS,
3BDS, 12ADS, and 12BDS. Enabling a bleed down comparator prevents its corresponding channel from turning
on until the output voltage drops below about 100 mV. This precaution ensures that the output rail drops so low
that all downstream loads properly reset.
In case the downstream load cannot quickly bleed off charge from the output capacitance, the TPS2359 also
includes bleed down resistors connected to each output rail through pins OUT12A, OUT12B, OUT3A, and
OUT3B. Internal switches connect these resistors from their corresponding rails to ground when the channels are
disabled, providing that one sets the appropriate bits in the I2C interface. These bits are named 12AUV, 12BUV,
3AUV, and 3BUV. Clearing these bits ensures that the corresponding resistors never connect to their buses.
If redundant supplies connect to an output, then one should clear the corresponding bleed-down threshold and
bleed-down resistor bits. Failing to clear the bleed-down threshold bit will prevent the channel from enabling so
long as the redundant supply continues to hold up the output rail. Failing to clear the bleed-down resistor bit will
cause current to continually flow through the resistor when the TPS2359 is disabled and the redundant supply
holds up the output bus.
Fault Timer Programming
Each of the TPS2359's four channels includes a fault timer. This timer begins operating whenever the channel
enters current limit. If the channel remains in current limit so long that the fault timer runs out, then the channel
turns off the pass FET and reports a fault condition by means of the xFLT bit in the I2C interface.
The four fault timers are independently programmable from 0.5 to 16 ms in steps of 0.5 ms using the appropriate
xFT bits. A code of xFT = 00001B corresponds to the minimum programmable time of 0.5 ms. The code xFT =
00000B corresponds to an extremely short time interval of no practical use.
The locations of the fault timer programming bits are:

The user should select the shortest fault times sufficient to allow down-stream loads and bulk capacitors to
charge. Shorter fault times reduce the stresses imposed on the pass FETs under fault conditions. This
consideration may allow the use of smaller and less expensive pass FETs for the 12-V channels.
The TPS2359 supports two modes of fault timer operation. Clearing the FLTMODE bit causes a channel to latch
off whenever its fault timer runs out. The channel remains off until it has been disabled and re-enabled (see
Enable Functions section). The TPS2359 operates in this manner by default. Setting the FLTMODE bit causes a
faulted channel to automatically attempt to turn back on after a delay roughly one hundred times the fault time.
This process repeats until either the fault disappears or the user disables the channel. The pass FET for a 12-V
channel with a shorted output must therefore continuously dissipate
Pfault » 0.01 × VIN 12 x I CL
(8)
where VIN12x equals the voltage present at the input of the 12-V channel and ICL equals the current limit setting
for this channel (the inrush current if 12VNRS is set).

TPS2359 I2C Interface
The TPS2359 digital interface meets the specifications for an I2C bus operating in the high-speed mode. One can
configure the interface to recognize any one of 27 separate I2C addresses using the A0, A1, and A2 pins
(Table 17 I2C Addressing). These pins accept any of three distinct voltage levels. Connecting a pin to ground
generates a low level (L). Connecting a pin to VINT generates a high level (H). Leaving a pin floating generates a
no-connect level (NC).

The I2C hardware interface consists of two wires known as serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL). The
interface is designed to operate from a nominal 3.3-V supply. SDA is a bidirectional wired-OR bus that requires
an external pullup resistor, typically a 2.2-kΩ resistor connected from SDA to the 3.3-V supply.
The I2C protocol assumes one device on the bus acts as a master and another device acts as a slave. The
TPS2359 supports only slave operation with two basic functions called register write and register read.

Layout Consideration
TPS2359 applications require careful attention to layout in order to ensure proper performance and minimize
susceptibility to transients and noise. Important points to consider include:
1. Connect AGND, GNDA, and GNDB to a ground plane.
2. Place 0.01-µF or larger ceramic bypass capacitors on IN12A, IN12B, VDD3A, and VDD3B. Minimize the loop
area created by the leads running to these devices.
3. Minimize the loop area between the SENMx and SENPx leads by running them side-by-side. Use Kelvin
connections at the points of contact with RSENSE (Figure 31).
4. Minimize the loop area between the SETx and SENPx leads. Connect the SETx leads to the same Kelvin
points as the SENPx leads, or as close to these points as possible.
5. Size the following runs to carry at least 20 Amps:
– Runs on both sides of RSENSE
– Runs from the drains and sources of the external FETs
6. Minimize the loop area between the OUT12x and SENPx leads.
7. Size the runs to IN3x and OUT3x to carry at least 1 Amp.
8. Soldering the powerpad of the TPS2359 to the board will improve thermal performance.

Transient Protection
The need for transient protection in conjunction with hot-swap controllers should always be considered. When
the TPS2359 interrupts current flow, input inductance generates a positive voltage spike on the input and output
inductance generates a negative voltage spike on the output. The following equation estimates the magnitude of
these voltage spikes:
VSPIKE = VNOM + I LOAD L
C
(9)
where VNOM equals the nominal supply voltage, ILOAD equals the load current, C equals the capacitance present
at the input or output of the TPS2359, and L equals the effective inductance seen looking into the source or the
load. The inductance due to a straight length of wire equals approximately
æ 4L
ö
- 0.75 ÷ nH
LStraightWire » 0.2 ´ L ´ ln ç
è D
ø
(10)
where L equals the length of the wire and D equals its diameter.
If sufficient capacitance to prevent transients from exceeding the absolute ratings of the TPS2359 cannot be
included the application will require the addition of transient protectors.
