LM5069
Positive High Voltage Hot Swap / Inrush Current Controller
with Power Limiting
General Description
The LM5069 positive hot swap controller provides intelligent
control of the power supply connections during insertion and
removal of circuit cards from a live system backplane or other
"hot" power sources. The LM5069 provides in-rush current
control to limit system voltage droop and transients. The current limit and power dissipation in the external series pass NChannel MOSFET are programmable, ensuring operation
within the Safe Operating Area (SOA). The POWER GOOD
output indicates when the output voltage is within 1.25V of the
input voltage. The input under-voltage and over-voltage lockout levels and hysteresis are programmable, as well as the
initial insertion delay time and fault detection time. The
LM5069-1 latches off after a fault detection, while the
LM5069-2 automatically restarts at a fixed duty cycle. The
LM5069 is available in a 10 pin MSOP package.

of time results in the shutdown of the series pass device. In
this event, the LM5069-1 latches off until the circuit is re-enabled by external control, while the LM5069-2 automatically
restarts with defined timing. The circuit breaker function
quickly switches off the series pass device upon detection of
a severe over-current condition. The Power Good (PGD) output pin indicates when the output voltage is within 1.25V of
the system input voltage (VSYS). Programmable under-voltage lock-out (UVLO) and over-voltage lock-out (OVLO) circuits shut down the LM5069 when the system input voltage
is outside the desired operating range. The typical configuration of a circuit card with LM5069 hot swap protection is shown
in Figure 2.
Functional Description
The LM5069 is designed to control the in-rush current to the
load upon insertion of a circuit card into a live backplane or
other "hot" power source, thereby limiting the voltage sag on
the backplane’s supply voltage, and the dV/dt of the voltage
applied to the load. Effects on other circuits in the system are
minimized, preventing possible unintended resets. A controlled shutdown when the circuit card is removed can also be
implemented using the LM5069. In addition to a programmable current limit, the LM5069 monitors and limits the
maximum power dissipation in the series pass device to maintain operation within the device Safe Operating Area (SOA).
Either current limiting or power limiting for an extended period

FIGURE 2. LM5069 Application
settle before Q1 can be enabled. The insertion time ends
when the TIMER pin voltage reaches 4.0V. CT is then quickly
discharged by an internal 1.5 mA pull-down current. After the
insertion time, the LM5069 control circuitry is enabled when
VIN reaches the POREN threshold (8.4V). The GATE pin then
switches on Q1 when VSYS exceeds the UVLO threshold (UVLO pin >2.5V). If VSYS is above the UVLO threshold at the end
of the insertion time, Q1 switches on at that time. The GATE
pin charge pump sources 16 µA to charge Q1’s gate capacitance. The maximum gate-to-source voltage of Q1 is limited
by an internal 12V zener diode.
As the voltage at the OUT pin increases, the LM5069 monitors
the drain current and power dissipation of MOSFET Q1. Inrush current limiting and/or power limiting circuits actively
control the current delivered to the load. During the in-rush
Power Up Sequence
The VIN operating range of the LM5069 is +9V to +80V, with
a transient capability to +100V. Referring to the Block Diagram and Figure 1 and Figure 3, as the voltage at VIN initially
increases, the external N-channel MOSFET (Q1) is held off
by an internal 230 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin. The
strong pull-down current at the GATE pin prevents an inadvertent turn-on as the MOSFET’s gate-to-drain (Miller) capacitance is charged. Additionally, the TIMER pin is initially
held at ground. When the VIN voltage reaches the PORIT
threshold (7.6V) the insertion time begins. During the insertion time, the capacitor at the TIMER pin (CT) is charged by a
5.5 µA current source, and Q1 is held off by a 2 mA pull-down
current at the GATE pin regardless of the VIN voltage. The
insertion time delay allows ringing and transients at VIN to

LM5069
limiting interval (t2 in Figure 3) an internal 85 µA fault timer
current source charges CT. If Q1’s power dissipation and the
input current reduce below their respective limiting thresholds
before the TIMER pin reaches 4.0V the 85 µA current source
is switched off, and CT is discharged by the internal 2.5 µA
current sink (t3 in Figure 3). The in-rush limiting interval is
complete when the voltage at the OUT pin increases to within
1.25V of the input voltage (VSYS), and the PGD pin switches
high.
If the TIMER pin voltage reaches 4.0V before in-rush current
limiting or power limiting ceases (during t2), a fault is declared
and Q1 is turned off. See the Fault Timer & Restart section
for a complete description of the fault mode.
20197213

state until the end of t1, regardless of the voltage at VIN or
UVLO.
Following the insertion time, during t2 in Figure 3, the gate
voltage of Q1 is modulated to keep the current or power dissipation level from exceeding the programmed levels. While
in the current or power limiting mode the TIMER pin capacitor
is charging. If the current and power limiting cease before the
TIMER pin reaches 4V the TIMER pin capacitor then discharges, and the circuit enters normal operation.
If the in-rush limiting condition persists such that the TIMER
pin reached 4V during t2, the GATE pin is then pulled low by
the 2 mA pull-down current. The GATE pin is then held low
until either a power up sequence is initiated (LM5069-1), or
until the end of the restart sequence (LM5069-2). See the
Fault Timer & Restart section.
If the system input voltage falls below the UVLO threshold, or
rises above the OVLO threshold, the GATE pin is pulled low
by the 2 mA pull-down current to switch off Q1.
Gate Control
A charge pump provides internal bias voltage above the output voltage (OUT pin) to enhance the N-Channel MOSFET’s
gate. The gate-to-source voltage is limited by an internal 12V
zener diode. During normal operating conditions (t3 in Figure
3) the gate of Q1 is held charged by an internal 16 µA current
source to approximately 12V above OUT. If the maximum
VGS rating of Q1 is less than 12V, a lower voltage external
zener diode must be added between the GATE and OUT pins.
The external zener diode must have a forward current rating
of at least 250 mA.
When the system voltage is initially applied, the GATE pin is
held low by a 230 mA pull-down current. This helps prevent
an inadvertent turn-on of the MOSFET through its drain-gate
capacitance as the applied system voltage increases.
During the insertion time (t1 in Figure 3) the GATE pin is held
low by a 2 mA pull-down current. This maintains Q1 in the off-

Q1 by monitoring its drain-source voltage (SENSE to OUT),
and the drain current through the sense resistor (VIN to
SENSE). The product of the current and voltage is compared
to the power limit threshold programmed by the resistor at the
PWR pin. If the power dissipation reaches the limiting threshold, the GATE voltage is modulated to reduce the current in
Q1. While the power limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is
active as described in the Fault Timer & Restart section.
Current Limit
The current limit threshold is reached when the voltage across
the sense resistor RS (VIN to SENSE) reaches 55 mV. In the
current limiting condition, the GATE voltage is controlled to
limit the current in MOSFET Q1. While the current limit circuit
is active, the fault timer is active as described in the Fault
Timer & Restart section. If the load current falls below the
current limit threshold before the end of the Fault Timeout
Period, the LM5069 resumes normal operation. For proper
operation, the RS resistor value should be no larger than 100
mΩ.
Fault Timer & Restart
When the current limit or power limit threshold is reached
during turn-on or as a result of a fault condition, the gate-tosource voltage of Q1 is modulated to regulate the load current
and power dissipation. When either limiting function is activated, an 85 µA fault timer current source charges the external capacitor (CT) at the TIMER pin as shown in Figure 6
(Fault Timeout Period). If the fault condition subsides during
the Fault Timeout Period before the TIMER pin reaches 4.0V,
the LM5069 returns to the normal operating mode and CT is
discharged by the 2.5 µA current sink. If the TIMER pin reaches 4.0V during the Fault Timeout Period, Q1 is switched off
by a 2 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin. The subsequent
restart procedure then depends on which version of the
LM5069 is in use.
The LM5069-1 latches the GATE pin low at the end of the
Fault Timeout Period. CT is then discharged to ground by the
2.5 µA fault current sink. The GATE pin is held low by the 2
mA pull-down current until a power up sequence is externally
initiated by cycling the input voltage (VSYS), or momentarily
pulling the UVLO pin below 2.5V with an open-collector or
open-drain device as shown in Figure 5. The voltage at the
TIMER pin must be <0.3V for the restart procedure to be effective.
Circuit Breaker
If the load current increases rapidly (e.g., the load is shortcircuited) the current in the sense resistor (RS) may exceed
the current limit threshold before the current limit control loop
is able to respond. If the current exceeds twice the current
limit threshold (105 mV/RS), Q1 is quickly switched off by the
230 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin, and a Fault Timeout Period begins. When the voltage across RS falls below
105 mV the 230 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin is
switched off, and the gate voltage of Q1 is then determined
by the current limit or the power limit functions. If the TIMER
pin reaches 4.0V before the current limiting or power limiting
condition ceases, Q1 is switched off by the 2 mA pull-down
current at the GATE pin as described in the Fault Timer &
Restart section.
Power Limit
An important feature of the LM5069 is the MOSFET power
limiting. The Power Limit function can be used to maintain the
maximum power dissipation of MOSFET Q1 within the device
SOA rating. The LM5069 determines the power dissipation in
11

20197215
FIGURE 5. Latched Fault Restart Control
The LM5069-2 provides an automatic restart sequence which
consists of the TIMER pin cycling between 4.0V and 1.25V
seven times after the Fault Timeout Period, as shown in Figure 6. The period of each cycle is determined by the 85 µA
charging current, and the 2.5 µA discharge current, and the
value of the capacitor CT. When the TIMER pin reaches 0.3V
during the eighth high-to-low ramp, the 16 µA current source
at the GATE pin turns on Q1. If the fault condition is still
present, the Fault Timeout Period and the restart cycle repeat.
20197216
FIGURE 6. Restart Sequence (LM5069-2)
Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
Over-Voltage Lock-Out (OVLO)
The series pass MOSFET (Q1) is enabled when the input
supply voltage (VSYS) is within the operating range defined by
the programmable under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and overvoltage lock-out (OVLO) levels. Typically the UVLO level at
VSYS is set with a resistor divider (R1-R3) as shown in Figure
1. When VSYS is below the UVLO level, the internal 21 µA
current source at UVLO is enabled, the current source at OVLO is off, and Q1 is held off by the 2 mA pull-down current at
the GATE pin. As VSYS is increased, raising the voltage at
UVLO above 2.5V, the 21 µA current source at UVLO is
switched off, increasing the voltage at UVLO, providing hysteresis for this threshold. With the UVLO pin above 2.5V, Q1
is switched on by the 16 µA current source at the GATE pin if
the insertion time delay has expired (Figure 3). See the Applications Section for a procedure to calculate the values of
the threshold setting resistors (R1-R3). The minimum possible UVLO level at VSYS can be set by connecting the UVLO
pin to VIN. In this case Q1 is enabled when the VIN voltage
reaches the POREN threshold.
The series pass MOSFET (Q1) is enabled when the input
supply voltage (VSYS) is within the operating range defined by
the programmable under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and overvoltage lock-out (OVLO) levels. If VSYS raises the OVLO pin
voltage above 2.5V Q1 is switched off by the 2 mA pull-down
current at the GATE pin, denying power to the load. When the
OVLO pin is above 2.5V, the internal 21 µA current source at
OVLO is switched on, raising the voltage at OVLO to provide
threshold hysteresis. When VSYS is reduced below the OVLO
level Q1 is enabled. See the Applications Section for a procedure to calculate the threshold setting resistor values.
www.national.com
Shutdown Control
The load current can be remotely switched off by taking the
UVLO pin below its 2.5V threshold with an open collector or
open drain device, as shown in Figure 7. Upon releasing the
UVLO pin the LM5069 switches on the load current with inrush current and power limiting.

where ILIM is the desired current limit threshold. If the voltage
across RS reaches 55 mV, the current limit circuit modulates
the gate of Q1 to regulate the current at ILIM. While the current
limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is active as described
in the Fault Timer & Restart section. For proper operation,
RS must be no larger than 100 mΩ.
While the maximum load current in normal operation can be
used to determine the required power rating for resistor RS,
basing it on the current limit value provides a more reliable
design since the circuit can operate near the current limit
threshold continuously. The resistor’s surge capability must
also be considered since the circuit breaker threshold is twice
the current limit threshold. Connections from RS to the
LM5069 should be made using Kelvin techniques. In the suggested layout of Figure 8 the small pads at the lower corners
of the sense resistor connect only to the sense resistor terminals, and not to the traces carrying the high current. With
this technique, only the voltage across the sense resistor is
applied to VIN and SENSE, eliminating the voltage drop
across the high current solder connections.
20197217
FIGURE 7. Shutdown Control
Power Good Pin
The Power Good indicator pin (PGD) is connected to the drain
of an internal N-channel MOSFET capable of sustaining 80V
in the off-state, and transients up to 100V. An external pull-up
resistor is required at PGD to an appropriate voltage to indicate the status to downstream circuitry. The off-state voltage
at the PGD pin can be higher or lower than the voltages at
VIN and OUT. PGD is switched high when the voltage from
SENSE to OUT (the external MOSFET’s VDS) decreases below 1.25V. PGD switches low when the MOSFET’s VDS is
increased past 2.5V. If the UVLO pin is taken below 2.5V, or
the OVLO pin taken above 2.5V, to disable the LM5069, PGD
switches low within 10 µs without waiting for the voltage at
OUT to fall 2.5V below the voltage at SENSE. The PGD output
pin is high when the voltage at VIN is less than 5V.

The LM5069 determines the power dissipation in the external

RS), and the VDS of Q1 (SENSE to OUT pins). The resistor at
the PWR pin (RPWR) sets the maximum power dissipation for
Q1, and is calculated from the following equation:

(RS), connected from VIN to SENSE. The required resistor
value is calculated from:
LM5069
lated to reduce the load current, keeping Q1’s power from
exceeding the threshold. For proper operation of the power
limiting feature, RPWR must be ≤150 kΩ. While the power limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is active as described in
the Fault Timer & Restart section. Typically, power limit is
reached during startup, or if the output voltage falls due to a
severe overload or short circuit.
The programmed maximum power dissipation should have a
reasonable margin from the maximum power defined by the
FET's SOA chart if the LM5069-2 is used since the FET will
be repeatedly stressed during fault restart cycles. The FET
manufacturer should be consulted for guidelines.
If the application does not require use of the power limit function the PWR pin can be left open.

FIGURE 9. No Load Current During Turn-On
TURN-ON TIME
The output turn-on time depends on whether the LM5069 operates in current limit, or in both power limit and current limit,
during turn-on.
A) Turn-on with current limit only: The current limit threshold (ILIM) is determined by the current sense resistor (RS). If
the current limit threshold is less than the current defined by
the power limit threshold at maximum VDS the circuit operates
at the current limit threshold only during turn-on. Referring to
Figure 11a, as the load current reaches ILIM, the gate-tosource voltage is controlled at VGSL to maintain the current at
ILIM. As the output voltage reaches its final value (VDS ≊ 0V)
the drain current reduces to its normal operating value, and
the gate is charged to approximately 12V (VGATE). The time
for the OUT pin voltage to transition from zero volts to VSYS is
equal to:
20197223
FIGURE 10. Load Draws Current During Turn-On
B) Turn-on with power limit and current limit: The maximum allowed power dissipation in Q1 (PFET(LIM)) is defined by
the resistor at the PWR pin, and the current sense resistor
RS. See the Power Limit Threshold section. If the current limit
threshold (ILIM) is higher than the current defined by the power
limit threshold at maximum VDS (PFET(LIM)/VSYS) the circuit operates initially at the power limit mode when the VDS of Q1 is
high, and then transitions to current limit mode as the current
increases to ILIM and VDS decreases. See Figure 11ab. Assuming the load (RL) is not connected during turn-on, the time
for the output voltage to reach its final value is approximately
equal to:
where CL is the load capacitance. For example, if VSYS = 48V,
CL = 1000 µF, and ILIM = 1A, tON calculates to 48 ms. The
maximum instantaneous power dissipated in the MOSFET is
48W. This calculation assumes the time from t1 to t2 in Figure
11a is small compared to tON, and the load does not draw any
current until after the output voltage has reached its final value, and PGD switches high (Figure 9). If the load draws
current during the turn-on sequence (Figure 10), the turn-on
time is longer than the above calculation, and is approximately equal to:
For example, if VSYS = 48V, CL = 1000 µF, ILIM = 1A, and
PFET(LIM) = 20W, tON calculates to ≊68 ms, and the initial current level (IP) is approximately 0.42A. The Fault Timeout
Period must be set longer than tON.
where RL is the load resistance. The Fault Timeout Period
must be set longer than tON to prevent a fault shutdown before
the turn-on sequence is complete.

must be determined for each application. The insertion time
starts when VIN reaches the PORIT threshold, at which time
the internal 5.5 µA current source charges CT from 0V to 4.0V.
The required capacitor value is calculated from:
MOSFET SELECTION
It is recommended that the external MOSFET (Q1) selection
be based on the following criteria:
- The BVDSS rating should be greater than the maximum
system voltage (VSYS), plus ringing and transients which can
occur at VSYS when the circuit card, or adjacent cards, are
inserted or removed.
- The maximum continuous current rating should be based
on the current limit threshold (55 mV/RS), not the maximum
load current, since the circuit can operate near the current
limit threshold continuously.
- The Pulsed Drain Current spec (IDM) must be greater than
the current threshold for the circuit breaker function (105 mV/
RS).
- The SOA (Safe Operating Area) chart of the device, and
the thermal properties, should be used to determine the maximum power dissipation threshold set by the RPWR resistor.
The programmed maximum power dissipation should have a
reasonable margin from the maximum power defined by the
FET's SOA chart if the LM5069-2 is used since the FET will
be repeatedly stressed during fault restart cycles. The FET
manufacturer should be consulted for guidelines.
- RDS(on) should be sufficiently low that the power dissipation at maximum load current (IL(max)2 x RDS(on)) does not raise
its junction temperature above the manufacturer’s recommendation.
If the device chosen for Q1 has a maximum VGS rating less
than 12V, an external zener diode must be added from its gate
to source, with the zener voltage less than the maximum
VGS rating. The zener diode’s forward current rating must be
at least 250 mA to conduct the GATE pull-down current during
startup and in the circuit breaker mode.
For example, if the desired insertion delay is 250 ms, CT calculates to 0.345 µF. At the end of the insertion delay, CT is
quickly discharged by a 1.5 mA current sink.
B) Fault Timeout Period - During in-rush current limiting or
upon detection of a fault condition where the current limit and/
or power limit circuits regulate the current through Q1, the
fault timer current source (85 µA) is switched on to charge
CT. The Fault Timeout Period is the time required for the
TIMER pin voltage to reach 4.0V, at which time Q1 is switched
off. The required capacitor value for the desired Fault Timeout
Period tFAULT is calculated from:
(3)
For example, if the desired Fault Timeout Period is 16 ms,
CT calculates to 0.34 µF. After the Fault Timeout Period, the
LM5069-1 latches the GATE pin low until a power up sequence is initiated by external circuitry. CT is discharged by
the 2.5 µA current sink at the end of the Fault Timeout Period.
See the Fault Timer and Restart section and Figure 5. When
the Fault Timeout Period of the LM5069-2 expires, a restart
sequence starts as described below (Restart Timing). Since
the LM5069 normally operates in power limit and/or current
limit during a power up sequence, the Fault Timeout Period
must be longer than the time required for the output voltage
to reach its final value. See the Turn-on Time section.
C) Restart Timing For the LM5069-2, after the Fault Timeout
Period described above, CT is discharged by the 2.5 µA current sink to 1.25V. The TIMER pin then cycles through seven
additional charge/discharge cycles between 1.25V and 4.0V
as shown in Figure 6. The restart time ends when the TIMER
pin voltage reaches 0.3V during the final high-to-low ramp.
The restart time, after the Fault Timeout Period, is equal to:
TIMER CAPACITOR, CT
The TIMER pin capacitor (CT) sets the timing for the insertion
time delay, fault timeout period, and restart timing of the
LM5069-2.
A) Insertion Delay - Upon applying the system voltage
(VSYS) to the circuit, the external MOSFET (Q1) is held off
during the insertion time (t1 in Figure 3) to allow ringing and
transients at VSYS to settle. Since each backplane’s response
to a circuit card plug-in is unique, the worst case settling time

LM5069
As an example, assume the application requires the following
thresholds: VUVH = 36V, VUVL = 32V, VOVH = 60V.
= CT x 9.4 x 106
For example, if CT = 0.33 µF, tRESTART = 3.1 seconds. At the
end of the restart time, Q1 is switched on. If the fault is still
present, the fault timeout and restart sequence repeats. The
on-time duty cycle of Q1 is approximately 0.5% in this mode.
UVLO, OVLO
By programming the UVLO and OVLO thresholds the
LM5069 enables the series pass device (Q1) when the input
supply voltage (VSYS) is within the desired operational range.
If VSYS is below the UVLO threshold, or above the OVLO
threshold, Q1 is switched off, denying power to the load. Hysteresis is provided for each threshold.
Option A: The configuration shown in Figure 12 requires
three resistors (R1-R3) to set the thresholds.
The lower OVLO threshold calculates to 55.8V, and the OVLO
hysteresis is 4.2V. Note that the OVLO hysteresis is always
slightly greater than the UVLO hysteresis in this configuration.
When the R1-R3 resistor values are known, the threshold
voltages and hysteresis are calculated from the following:
VUV(HYS) = R1 x 21 µA
20197229
FIGURE 12. UVLO and OVLO Thresholds Set By R1-R3
The procedure to calculate the resistor values is as follows:
- Choose the upper UVLO threshold (VUVH), and the lower
UVLO threshold (VUVL).
- Choose the upper OVLO threshold (VOVH).
- The lower OVLO threshold (VOVL) cannot be chosen in
advance in this case, but is determined after the values for
R1-R3 are determined. If VOVL must be accurately defined in
addition to the other three thresholds, see Option B below.
The resistors are calculated as follows:
VOV(HYS) = (R1 + R2) x 21 µA
Option B: If all four thresholds must be accurately defined,
the configuration in Figure 13 can be used.
20197241
FIGURE 13. Programming the Four Thresholds
The lower OVLO threshold is calculated from:
The four resistor values are calculated as follows:

- Choose the upper and lower UVLO thresholds (VUVH) and
(VUVL).
VUV(HYS) = R1 x 21 µA
-Choose the upper and lower OVLO threshold (VOVH) and
(VOVL).
VOV(HYS) = R3 x 21 µA
Option C: The minimum UVLO level is obtained by connecting the UVLO pin to VIN as shown in Figure 14. Q1 is switched
on when the VIN voltage reaches the POREN threshold
(≊8.4V). An external transistor can be connected to UVLO to
provide remote shutdown control, and to restart the LM5069-1
after a fault detection. The OVLO thresholds are set using R3,
R4. Their values are calculated using the procedure in Option
B.
As an example, assume the application requires the following
thresholds: VUVH = 22V, VUVL = 17V, VOVH = 60V, and VOVL =
58V. Therefore VUV(HYS) = 5V, and VOV(HYS) = 2V. The resistor
values are:
R1 = 238 kΩ, R2 = 41 kΩ
R3 = 95.2 kΩ, R4 = 4.14 kΩ
Where the R1-R4 resistor values are known, the threshold
voltages and hysteresis are calculated from the following:
20197250
FIGURE 14. UVLO = POREN with Shutdown/Restart Control
Option D: The OVLO function can be disabled by grounding
the OVLO pin. The UVLO thresholds are set as described in
Option B or Option C.
remaining low as the VIN voltage increases. When the voltage
at OUT increases to within 1.25V of the SENSE pin (VDS
<1.25V), PGD switches high. PGD switches low if the VDS of
Q1 increases above 2.5V. A pull-up resistor is required at
PGD as shown in Figure 15. The pull-up voltage (VPGD) can
be as high as 80V, with transient capability to 100V, and can
be higher or lower than the voltages at VIN and OUT.
POWER GOOD PIN
During turn-on, the Power Good pin (PGD) is high until the
voltage at VIN increases above ≊ 5V. PGD then switches low,

FIGURE 15. Power Good Output
If a delay is required at PGD, suggested circuits are shown in
Figure 16. In Figure 16a, capacitor CPG adds delay to the rising edge, but not to the falling edge. In Figure 16b, the rising
edge is delayed by RPG1 + RPG2 and CPG, while the falling
edge is delayed a lesser amount by RPG2 and CPG. Adding a
diode across RPG2 (Figure 16c) allows for equal delays at the
two edges, or a short delay at the rising edge and a long delay
at the falling edge.

Design-in Procedure
PC Board Guidelines
The recommended design-in procedure is as follows:
• Determine the current limit threshold (ILIM). This threshold
must be higher than the normal maximum load current,
allowing for tolerances in the current sense resistor value
and the LM5069 Current Limit threshold voltage. Use
equation 1 to determine the value for RS.
• Determine the maximum allowable power dissipation for
the series pass FET (Q1), using the device’s SOA
information. Use equation 2 to determine the value for
RPWR.
• Determine the value for the timing capacitor at the TIMER
pin (CT) using equation 3. The fault timeout period
(tFAULT) must be longer than the circuit’s turn-on-time. The
turn-on time can be estimated using the equations in the
TURN-ON TIME section of this data sheet, but should be
verified experimentally. Review the resulting insertion
time, and restart timing if the LM5069-2 is used.
• Choose option A, B, C, or D from the UVLO, OVLO section
of the Application Information for setting the UVLO and
OVLO thresholds and hysteresis. Use the procedure for
the appropriate option to determine the resistor values at
the UVLO and OVLO pins.
• Choose the appropriate voltage, and pull-up resistor, for
the Power Good output.
The following guidelines should be followed when designing
the PC board for the LM5069:
• Place the LM5069 close to the board’s input connector to
minimize trace inductance from the connector to the FET.
• Place a small capacitor (1000 pF) directly adjacent to the
VIN and GND pins of the LM5069 to help minimize
transients which may occur on the input supply line.
Transients of several volts can easily occur when the load
current is shut off.
• The sense resistor (RS) should be close to the LM5069,
and connected to it using the Kelvin techniques shown in
Figure 8.
• The high current path from the board’s input to the load
(via Q1), and the return path, should be parallel and close
to each other to minimize loop inductance.
• The ground connection for the various components
around the LM5069 should be connected directly to each
other, and to the LM5069’s GND pin, and then connected
to the system ground at one point. Do not connect the
various component grounds to each other through the high
current ground line.
• Provide adequate heat sinking for the series pass device
(Q1) to help reduce stresses during turn-on and turn-off.

removed from the LM5069 due to the shorter edge
connector pin. When the board is inserted into the edge
connector, the system voltage is applied to the LM5069’s
VIN pin before the UVLO voltage is taken high.
The board’s edge connector can be designed to shut off
the LM5069 as the board is removed, before the supply
voltage is disconnected from the LM5069. In Figure 17 the
voltage at the UVLO pin goes to ground before VSYS is

absolute maximum rating of the LM5069, resulting in its destruction.
B) If the load powered via the LM5069 hot swap circuit has
inductive characteristics, a diode is required across the
LM5069’s output. The diode provides a recirculating path for
the load’s current when the LM5069 shuts off that current.
Adding the diode prevents possible damage to the LM5069
as the OUT pin will be taken below ground by the inductive
load at shutoff. See Figure 18.
System Considerations
A) Continued proper operation of the LM5069 hot swap circuit
requires capacitance be present on the supply side of the
connector into which the hot swap circuit is plugged in, as
depicted in Figure 2. The capacitor in the “Live Backplane”
section is necessary to absorb the transient generated whenever the hot swap circuit shuts off the load current. If the
capacitance is not present, inductance in the supply lines will
generate a voltage transient at shut-off which can exceed the
