PCI Express-Based PC and Servers
Hot Swap Application for Triple Supply Systems
The LTC®4242 Hot SwapTM controller allows safe board
insertion and removal for two independent slots on a PCI
Express backplane. External N-channel transistors control
the 12V and 3.3V supplies while integrated switches control
the 3.3V auxiliary supplies. Both 12V and 3.3V supplies
can be ramped up at an adjustable rate. Dual level circuit
breakers and fast active current limiting protect all supplies
against overcurrent faults.
A supply filter at the VCC pin allows the LTC4242 to endure
supply transients. The EN input detects the presence of a
card in the PCI Express slot. The FAULT and AUXFAULT
outputs alert the system of overcurrent conditions on the
main and auxiliary supplies, respectively. PGOOD and
AUXPGOOD outputs indicate proper main and auxiliary
supply outputs.

12VGATE1/12VGATE2: Gate Drive for 12V Supply External
N-Channel MOSFET. An internal charge pump provides
a 9µA pull-up current to ramp up 12VGATEn. During turn
off, a 1mA pull-down current source discharges 12VGATEn
to ground. 12VGATEn is internally clamped to 5.5V above
12VOUTn. During an overcurrent fault, a 250mA pull-down
current source between 12VGATEn and 12VOUTn is activated.
An external RC network is required at the pin for optimum
current limit response.
12VSENSE1/12VSENSE2: 12V Supply Current Limit Sense
Input. A sense resistor is placed in the supply path between
12VINn and 12VSENSEn to sense the 12V channel’s load
current. The voltage across the sense resistor is monitored
for active current limit and circuit breaker fault detection.
To disable the circuit breaker function for the 12V channel,
connect 12VSENSEn to 12VINn.
12VIN1/12VIN2: 12V Supply Input. An undervoltage lockout
circuit disables the 12V and 3.3V supplies when 12VINn

12VOUT1/12VOUT2: 12V Output Connection. Connect this
pin to the source of the 12V supply external N-channel
MOSFET for gate drive return. PGOOD1/PGOOD2 cannot
pull low until this pin goes above 10.38V. A 700Ω active
pull-down discharges 12VOUTn to ground when the external
MOSFET is turned off.
3VGATE1/3VGATE2: Gate Drive for 3.3V Supply External
N-Channel MOSFET. An internal charge pump provides
a 9µA pull-up current to ramp up 3VGATEn. During turn
off, a 1mA pull-down current source discharges 3VGATEn
to ground. 3VGATEn is internally clamped to 5.5V above
3VOUTn. During an overcurrent fault, a 250mA pull-down
current source between 3VGATEn and 3VOUTn is activated.
An external RC network is required at the pin for optimum
current limit response.
3VSENSE1/3VSENSE2: 3.3V Supply Current Limit Sense Input.
A sense resistor is placed in the supply path between 3VINn
and 3VSENSEn to sense 3.3V channel’s load current. The
voltage across the sense resistor is monitored for active
current limit and circuit breaker fault detection. To disable
the circuit breaker function for the 3.3V channel, connect
3VSENSEn to 3VINn.
3VIN1/3VIN2: 3.3V Supply Input. An undervoltage lockout
circuit disables the 3.3V and 12V supplies when 3VINn
voltage is less than 2.67V.
3VOUT1/3VOUT2: 3.3V Output Connection. Connect this
pin to the source of the 3.3V supply external N-channel
MOSFET for gate drive return. PGOOD1/PGOOD2 cannot
pull low until this pin goes above 2.855V. A 375Ω active
pull-down discharges 3VOUTn to ground when the external
MOSFET is turned off.
AUXFAULT1/AUXFAULT2: AUX Supply Fault Status Output. AUXFAULTn is normally pulled high by an internal 9µA
pull-up. It asserts low if the AUX channel shuts off due
to an overcurrent fault or due to the device temperature
rising above 150°C. Indicates switch ON status when
FONn and ENn are high.
AUXON1/AUXON2: AUX Supply On Control Input. A rising
edge turns on the internal FET, while a falling edge turns it
off. Pulling this pin below 0.6V for more than 3.5µs clears
the fault on the AUX channel.
AUXIN1/AUXIN2: AUX Supply Input. An undervoltage
lockout circuit disables the AUX supply when the voltage
at AUXINn is less than 2.67V. AUXINn is the input to the
internal pass FET.
AUXOUT1/AUXOUT2: AUX Supply Output. AUXOUTn
is the output from the internal pass FET. AUXPGOOD1/
AUXPGOOD2 cannot pull low until this pin goes above
2.855V. A 750Ω active pull-down discharges AUXOUTn
to ground when the internal FET is turned off.

OPERATIO
The Functional Diagram displays the main functional elements of this device. The LTC4242 is designed to control
the power for two independent slots on a PCI Express
backplane, allowing two boards to be safely inserted and
removed. During normal operation, the charge pump
sources 9µA to turn on the gate of the external N-channel MOSFETs to pass power to the load. The gates of the
external MOSFETs are clamped about 5.5V above their
sources. The gates of the AUX FETs rise at a slew rate of
about 1.25V/ms to control the inrush current.
The electronic circuit breaker (ECB) comparator and analog current limit (ACL) amplifier monitor the load current
using the difference between the VIN and SENSE voltage.
The threshold of the ACL is set at 2x the ECB threshold.
The ACL amplifier limits the current in the load by reducing the gate-to-source voltage of the external MOSFETs
in an active control loop. When an overcurrent condition
persists for more than 20µs, the MOSFETs are shut off to
prevent overheating. FAULT is latched low to signal that
an overcurrent condition has occurred on the external
MOSFETs controlling the main channels.
The AUX FET’s control circuitry has a circuit breaker that
trips at 550mA after 20µs. It also incorporates an active
current limit amplifier that would limit the current flowing in the AUX FET to about 1.65A. A thermal shutdown
circuit shuts off the AUX FET when the die temperature
rises above 150°C. AUXFAULT is latched low to signal
an overcurrent conditon on the internal FET or thermal
shutdown has occurred.
When the switches are off (both internal and external),
the OUT pins are discharged to ground through internal
N-channel transistors.
The output voltages are monitored using the OUT pins
and the PG comparators to determine if the voltage
is valid. The power good conditon is signaled by the
PGOOD/AUXPGOOD pins using open-drain pull-down
transistors.
The Functional Diagram shows the monitoring blocks of
the LTC4242. The group of comparators in the system
control includes the UVLO, ON and EN comparators.
These comparators are used to determine if the external
conditions are valid prior to turning on the switches. But
first the undervoltage lockout circuit (UVLO) must validate
the input supplies and the main supply VCC and generate
the power up initialization to the logic circuits.
The FON inverter in the system control is used for operating the LTC4242 in diagnostic mode. In this mode
of operation, all pass transistors are forced to turn on,
ignoring the undervoltage, circuit breaker/current limiting status and input commands. However, if VCC drops
below its UVLO voltage, all switches would be shut off,
regardless of FON.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The typical LTC4242 application is in a backplane or motherboard that controls power to two PCI Express slots. The
device reports fault and power good status to the system
hot plug controller (HPC).
The basic LTC4242 application circuit is shown in Figure 1. Discussion begins with board presence detection
in a PCI Express system, the normal turn on and off
sequence, the various fault conditons and recovery from
fault situations. The force on operation is discussed next
followed by the considerations for PCB layout. External
component selection is discussed in detail in the Design
Example section.
Board Presence Detect
In PCI Express systems, the system board connector uses
two signals, PRSNT1 and PRSNT2, to detect the presence of a board and ensure a fully inserted board in the
connector as shown in Figure 2. PRSNT2 is routed to the
system HPC. Upon a board insertion into the connector,
a turn-on command is generated by the HPC to LTC4242
after a programmed HPC debounce delay, as shown in
Figure 1. Another method to generate the debounce delay
is through the delay network shown in Figure 3.

for the 3.3V auxiliary power paths. Sense resistors R1 to
R4 provide input for current fault detection. Resistors RG1
to RG4 and capacitors CG1 to CG4 compensate the current
control loops. Capacitors CG1 to CG4 also control the output
power-up rate and the inrush current while resistors R5
to R8 prevent high frequency oscillations in N-channel
MOSFETs, Q1 to Q4 respectively.
The following conditions must be satisfied before the
external and internal switches can be turned on.
1. The device’s power supply, VCC, must exceed its
undervoltage lockout threshold. To turn on the external/internal switches, the main/auxiliary input supplies
must exceed their UVLO thresholds.
2. The EN pin must be pulled low to begin the start-up
sequence.
When these initial conditions are satisfied, the ON pins are
checked. The LTC4242 features per slot ON pins, the AUXON
and ON, to allow independent control of the main input
supplies (12V and 3.3V) and the 3.3V auxiliary supplies. If
the ON pin is high, the switches turn on. If ON is low, the
switches turn on when the ON pin is brought high. Figure 4
shows all supplies turning on after EN goes low.

Turn-Off Sequence
The switches can be turned off by a variety of conditions.
1. The ON/AUXON pin going low would turn off the main/
internal switches.
2. EN going high turns off all switches.
Each of the external switches is turned on by charging
the GATE with a 9µA current source. The voltage at the
GATE pins rises with a slope equal to 9µA/CG and the
supply inrush current is set at CL/CG • 9µA, where CL is
the capacitance at the supply output.
3. A variety of fault conditions will turn off the switches.
These include supply undervoltage and overcurrent
circuit breaker faults.
The gate of the internal switch is slewed resulting in the
3.3VAUX supply output powering up at an internally set
When ON goes low, the main switches are turned off with
a 1mA current pulling down the gate to ground. When
the main supplies are shut off, the PGOOD signal pulls
high and the outputs are discharged to ground through
internal switches. Similarly, when an auxiliary supply is
turned off, the AUXPGOOD signal pulls high and its output
is discharged to ground through internal switches. Figure
5 shows all supplies being turned off by EN going high.

The circuit breaker (ECB) of the input supplies is armed
after the input supplies clear UVLO. Once the supplies
have been turned on and the outputs are within tolerance,
PGOOD for the main input supplies and AUXPGOOD for
the auxiliary input supplies (available for the QFN only)
are pulled low.

is shut off.

Overcurrent Fault
The LTC4242 features dual level glitch tolerant protection
against overcurrent faults for all the supplies. The sense
resistor (both internal and external) voltage drop is monitored by an electronic circuit breaker (ECB) comparator
and an active current limit (ACL) amplifier. In the event that
a supply’s current exceeds the ECB threshold, an internal
timer is started. If the supply is still overcurrent after 20µs,
the ECB trips and the MOSFET turns off immediately, as
shown in Figure 6.
During start-up, a supply output could be shorted to ground
in the worst case. The inrush current would be limited to
the ACL threshold, which is 2x the ECB threshold, and the
part will latch off after 20µs.

During an output short circuit, the surge current must be

limit enters a high current protection mode that immediately
turns off the output MOSFET by pulling its gate-to-source
voltage to zero. Current in the output MOSFET drops from
tens of amps to zero in a few hundred nanoseconds. The
input voltage drops during the high current and then

MOSFET shuts off (see Supply Transients). The compensation network RG/CG assists the gate voltage recovery.
The ACL limits the current level to 2x the ECB threshold
by regulating the gate voltage.
For the internal switch, the ACL limits the supply current
to about 3x the circuit breaker current level of 550mA.
The ECB has a 20µs filter delay before latching off to prevent
unnecessary resets of the system due to minor transient
surges. An overcurrent fault on any of the main outputs
(12V or 3.3V) latches off both main outputs without affecting the 3.3V auxiliary output. Similarly, an overcurrent
fault on the 3.3V auxiliary output latches off the auxiliary
output, without affecting the main outputs.
When there is a shorted load with significant supply lead
inductance, the supply pin voltage could collapse before
the ACL brings down the gate of the external MOSFET. In
this case, the undervoltage lockout circuit, with 18µs filter
time, turns off the pass MOSFETs.
Undervoltage Fault
An undervoltage fault occurs when any of the input supplies, 12VIN, 3VIN or AUXIN, falls below its undervoltage
threshold for more than 18µs. This turns off the switches
immediately. An undervoltage on the 3.3V auxiliary supply will not cause the main supplies to shut off and vice
versa. An undervoltage fault on any of the main supplies
shuts off both main supply switches. If VCC falls below
1. The output voltage is above power good threshold
2. EN pin is low
3. The input voltage is above the undervoltage threshold
4. ON pin is high
5. Thermal shutdown not activated
Resetting Faults
To reset an overcurrent fault on the main outputs, bring ON
low or the faulting supply below its undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) threshold. To reset an overcurrent or thermal
shutdown fault on the auxiliary output, bring AUXON low
or the auxiliary suppy below its UVLO threshold. Bringing
VCC below its UVLO threshold resets all overcurrent and
thermal shutdown faults. The part cannot be reset when
fault overide, FON, is high.
Auto-Retry After a Fault
As shown in Figure 9, the LTC4242 can be configured to
automatically retry after a fault condition by connecting
both the FAULT and ON pins together with an RC network.
The auto-retry circuit will attempt to restart the LTC4242
after a circuit breaker trip, as shown in the timing diagram
of Figure 10.

GATE Pin Voltage
The minimum gate drive voltage is 4.5V, therefore, logic
level N-channel MOSFETs should be used for the external
switches to maintain adequate gate enhancement. The
GATE pins are clamped at a typical value of 5.5V above
the respective OUT pins.
Compensating the Active Current Loop
The active current limit circuit is compensated using the
resistor RG and the slew rate control capacitor CG. The value
of CG is selected based on the inrush current allowed. The
RG value should be experimentally determined. A suggested
value range for RG is between 10Ω and 100Ω.
When the FON pin is pulled high and EN is low, the
LTC4242 operates in the diagnostic mode. All the input
supplies’ power switches are forced to turn on, regardless
of undervoltage conditions on the input supplies, status of
the ON pins and the fault latch. The contents in the fault
latch would be preserved during this time and no change
of state would occur after the part is configured to operate
in the diagnostic mode. If the output current exceeds the
ECB threshold, FAULT/AUXFAULT is pulled low immediately, but does not latch. The undervoltage lockout on VCC
turns off all the switches, regardless of the status of FON.
During thermal shutdown, the internal switch is shut off to
prevent overheating, even if FON is high. The main power
switches remain on as FON is high. Care must be taken to
ensure the outputs are not short circuited since there is
no current limit mechanism in diagnostic mode.

Yet another mode of operation is the Force ON with current limit mode. To enter this mode, pull both FON and
EN high. In this mode of operation, the ACLs are enabled
with the 20µs filter time disabled. The fault latch of the
AUX supply can be latched if the AUX’s ICBAUX is exceeded.
AUXFAULT indicates whether the AUX channel FET is on
or off. To enter normal operation, pull FON and EN low
and recycle the ON and AUXON pins.
In Hot Swap applications where load currents can be 10A,
narrow PCB tracks exhibit more resistance than wider
tracks and hence, operate at higher temperatures. Since
the sheet resistance of 1oz copper foil is approximately
0.5mΩ/square, track resistances and voltage drops add
up quickly in high current applications. Thus, to keep PCB
track resistance, voltage drop and temperature rise to a
minimum, the suggested trace width in these applications for 1oz copper foil is 0.03" for each ampere of DC
current.
PCB Layout Considerations
For proper operation of the LTC4242’s circuit breaker,
a Kelvin connection to the sense resistors is required.
The Kelvin sense PCB layout traces should be minimum
length, closed together, balanced and symmetrical to
minimize wiring errors. In addition, the PCB layout for the
sense resistors and the power MOSFETs should include
good thermal management techniques for optimal device
power dissipation. A recommended PCB layout for the
12V sense resistor and the power MOSFET is illustrated
in Figure 12.

In the majority of applications, it will be necessary to use
plated-through vias to make circuitry connections from
components layers to power and ground layers internal
to the PCB. For 1oz copper foil plating, a general rule is
1A of DC current per via making sure the via is properly
dimensioned so that solder completely fills any void.
Check with your PCB fabrication facility for via current
specifications.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
In system board applications, large bypass capacitors
(≥10µF) are recommended at each of the system input
supplies to minimize supply glitches as a result of large
inrush or fault currents.
It is important to put C1, the bypass capacitor for the VCC
pin as close as possible between the VCC and GND pins.
Design Example
Consider a PCI Express Hot Swap application example
with the following power supply requirements:
Table 1. PCI Express Power Supply Requirements

3.3VAUX

2. Assume no load current at start-up and the inrush current
charges the load capacitance. Compute gate capacitance
with:
CGATE =
IGATE(UP) • t1
VOUT
t1 is the time to charge up the load capacitor.
With IGATE(UP)(MAX) = 13µA and t1 = 10ms:
a. For 12V Supply, CGATE = 11nF
b. For 3.3V Supply, CGATE = 39nF

For the internal switch, the slew rate (SR) at the 3.3VAUX
supply output is limited to 1.7V/ms max. The inrush current can then be calculated according to:
(3)
The inrush current must be lower than 385mA (ICBAUX(MIN))
for proper start-up. Assuming a tolerance of 30% for the
load capacitance, the value of CLOAD should not exceed
170µF.
1. Select an RSENSE value for each supply. Calculate the
RSENSE value based on the maximum load current and the
lower circuit breaker threshold limit, ΔVSENSE(CB)(MIN). In
a PCI Express connector, five pins are allocated for the
12V supply, three pins for the 3.3V supply and one pin for
3.3VAUX. The current rating of a connector pin is 1.1A. If
a 1% tolerance is assumed for the sense resistors, then
the following values of resistances should suffice:
RSENSE (1%)

IINRUSH(MAX) = CLOAD • SRMAX
MAXIMUM LOAD
CAPACITANCE
2000µF
1000µF
150µF
VOLTAGE SUPPLY
So a value of 15nF and 47nF (±10%) should suffice for
the 12V and 3.3V supplies respectively. The worst-case
t1 and inrush currents are tabulated in Table 3.
(2)
3. Next is the selection of MOSFETs for the 12V and 3.3V
main input supplies. The Si7336ADP’s on resistance is less
than 4mΩ at VGS = 4.5V, 25°C and it is a good choice for
3.3V and 12V main supplies.
Since the maximum load for the 3.3V supply is 3A, the
MOSFET may dissipate up to 36mW. The Si7336ADP
has a maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
of 50°C/W. This gives a junction temperature of 51.8°C
when operating at a case temperature of 50°C. According to the Si7336ADP’s Normalized On-Resistance vs
Junction Temperature curve, the device’s on resistance
can be expected to increase by about 12% over its room
temperature value. Recalculation for steady-state RON
and junction temperature yield approximately 4.5mΩ
and 52°C, respectively. The voltage drop across the 3.3V
sense resistor and series MOSFET at 3A and at 50°C PCB
temperature is less than 53mV.
The MOSFET dissipates power during inrush charging of
the output load capacitor. Assuming no load current, the
MOSFET’s dissipated power equals the final load capacitor stored energy. Therefore, average MOSFET dissipated
power is:

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Using PON and t1 to look up the MOSFETs’ single pulse
θJA(MAX) from the manufacturer’s Transient Thermal
Impedance Graph, the worst-case junction-to-ambient
temperature rise occurs for the 12V MOSFET.

There is a 20µs filter time when large current of 2x circuit
breaker’s threshold can flow in the switches. This time is
short enough to cause minimal increase in the junctionto-ambient temperature of the MOSFETs, in the event of
powering up into short circuit or short circuiting after
power up. Therefore, in these events, it can be safely
assumed that the MOSFETs would have minimal thermal
stress on them.
If the LTC4242 operates in the diagnostic mode, user must
ensure a safe joule heating limit of the external MOSFET.
The internal switch will be disabled once the temperature
reaches 150°C, thereby preventing overheating.
