Systems Using 12-V and 3.3-V Channels
Base Stations
The TPS2459 hot-plug controller performs all
necessary power interface functions for an
AdvancedMC™ (Advanced Mezzanine Card). A fully
integrated 3.3-V channel provides inrush control,
over-current protection, and FET ORing. A 12-V
channel provides the same functions using external
FETs and sense resistors. The 3.3-V current limit is
factory set to AdvancedMC™ compliant levels while
the 12-V current limit is programmed using external
sense resistors. The accurate current sense
comparators of the TPS2459 satisfy the narrow
ATCA™ AdvancedMC™ current limit requirements.

12CL[3:0]
These four bits adjust the 12-V current limit and fast trip threshold using the I2CTM interface. Setting the bits to 1111B places
the 12-V current limit at its maximum level, corresponding to 675 mV at SUM12. The fast trip threshold then equals 100 mV.
Clearing all bits reduces the current limit and fast trip threshold to 25% of these maximums.
12PG[1:0]
These two bits adjust the 12-V 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.
12HP
Setting this bit moves the 12-V 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 is too light to
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.
12OR
Clearing this bit forces the BLK pin low, keeping the 12-V ORing FET off. Clearing this bit does not prevent current from
flowing through the FET’s body diode.

12FT[4:0]
These five bits adjust the 12-V 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.
12EN
This bit serves as a master enable for the 12-V channel. Setting the bit allows the 12-V channel to operate normally. Clearing
the bit disables the channel by pulling PASS and BLK low.
12UV
Setting this bit prevents 12-V channel from turning on until VOUT12 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.
12DS
Clearing this bit disconnects the bleed-down resistor that otherwise connects from OUT12 to ground. Systems using
redundant power supplies should clear 12DS to prevent the bleed-down resistor from continuously sinking current.

3EN
This bit serves as a master enable for the 3-V channel. Setting this bit allows the 3-V channel to operate normally, provided
the EN3 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 EN3 pin.
3UV
Setting this bit prevents the 3-V channel from turning on until VOUT3 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

PRODUCT PREVIEW
PPTEST
This bit is used for testing the fast turnoff feature of the PASS and BLK 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 approximately 15 µs. 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 TPS2459.
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 period 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 the 3.3-V channel turns off the 12-V channel. If the 3.3-V
channel automatically restarts because FLTMODE = 1, the 12-V channel remains disabled until its enable bit (12EN) is cycled
off and on.
ENPOL
Setting this bit makes the EN12 and EN3 pins active low.
3ORON
Setting this bit allows the 3.3-V ORing function to operate normally. Clearing this bit prevents a VOUT3 > VIN3 condition from
turning off the 3 V channel and forces 3A / 3B ORing to behave as if IN3A >> OUT3A, and IN3B >> OUT3B... This bit is
typically cleared for non-redundant systems.
12VNRS
Setting this bit increases the current limit for the 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 12CL[3:0] = 1111B. After the
current drops below this limit, signifying the end of the inrush period, the current limit returns to normal operation. This
function is intended for use in non-redundant systems with capacitive loads. Setting this bit forces the 12-V current limiters to
behave as though the current limit adjust bits R0[3:0], R3[3:0] are set to 1111 right after EN asserts and will persist until the
channel comes out of current limit or the fault timer times out, whichever comes first.
DISA
This bit must be set to 1.
DCC
Setting this bit disables cross-connection. If DCC = 0, when the 3.3-V channel experiences a fault, both it and the 12-V
channel turn off. If DCC = 1, then the 12-V channel continues to operate even if the 3.3-V channel experiences a fault.

Introduction
The TPS2459 controls a 12-V power path and a 3.3-V power path in a 32-pin QFN package. An I2C™ interface
enables the implementation using one small integrated circuit, but it also provides many opportunities for design
customization. The following sections describe the main functions of the TPS2459 and provide guidance for
designing systems around this device.
Control Logic and Power-On Reset
The TPS2459 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 either of the two inputs (IN12, IN3) or from either of two outputs (OUT12, OUT3). This feature allows
the internal circuitry to function regardless of which channels receive power, or from what source. The two
external FET drive pins (PASS, BLK) are held low during startup to ensure that the 12-V channel remains off.
The internal 3.3-V channel is 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 10 lists the specific conditions required to enable the two channels of the TPS2459. The 3.3-V channel has
an active-high enable pin with a 200-kΩ internal pullup resistor. The enable pin must be pulled high, or allowed to
float high, to enable the channel. The I2C™ interface includes an enable bit for each of the two channels. The bit
corresponding to a channel must be set to enable the channel. Both 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 channel also includes a cross-connection feature to
support PICMG.AMC™ and MicroTCA™ requirements. When enabled, this feature ensures that when the 3.3-V
output drops below 2.85 V, the 12-V channel automatically shuts off. This feature can be disabled by setting the
DCC bit in Register 6.

Current Limit and Fast Trip Thresholds
Both channels monitor current by sensing the voltage across a resistor. The 3.3-V channel uses an internal
sense resistor with a nominal value of 290 mΩ. The 12-V channel uses an external sense resistor that typically
lies in the range of 4 mΩ to 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 it
immediately shuts off the channel. Then it will immediately attempt a normal turn on which allows the current limit
feedback loop time to respond. The fast trip threshold is normally set 2 to 5 times higher than the current limit.

3.3-V Current Limiting
The 3.3-V management power channel includes an internal pass FET and current sense resistor. The
on-resistance of the 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 TPS2459 never consumes more than half of this
requirement.
3.3-V Fast Trip Function
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 TPS2459 immediately disables the internal pass transistor and
then allows it to slowly turn back on into current limiting.
3.3-V Current Limit Function
The 3.3-V current limit function internally limits the current to comply with the AdvancedMC™ and MicroTCA™
specifications. External resistor RSUM3 allows the user to adjust the current limit threshold. The nominal current
limit threshold ILIMIT is shown in Equation 1.
ILIMIT =
650 V
RSUM3
(1)
PRODUCT PREVIEW
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 also
suffices. Whenever the 3.3-V channel enters current limit, its fault timer begins to operate (see Fault Timer
Programming section).
3.3-V Over-Temperature Shutdown
The 3.3-V over-temperature shutdown is enabled if the 3.3 V channel remains in current limit while the die
temperature exceeds approximately 140°C. When this occurs, the channel operating in current limit turns off until
the chip cools by approximately 10°C.
3.3-V ORing
The 3.3-V channel limits 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. This 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 channel does not use redundant supplies, the 3ORON bit can be cleared 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 Function
The 12-V fast trip function protects the channel against short-circuit events. If the voltage across external resistor
RSENSE exceeds the fast trip threshold, then the TPS2459 immediately disables the pass transistor. The 12CL
bits set the magnitude of the fast trip threshold. When 12CL = 1111B, the fast trip threshold nominally equals 100
mV. The fast trip current IFT corresponding to this threshold is shown in Equation 2.
IFT =
100mV
RSENSE
(2)
The recommended value of (RSENSE = 5 mΩ) sets the fast trip threshold at 20 A for 12CL = 1111B. This choice of
sense resistor corresponds to the maximum 19.4 A inrush current allowed by the MicroTCA™ specification.
12-V Current Limit Function
The 12-V current limit function regulates the PASS 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 12SUM pin is
shown in Equation 3.

Amplifier A2 senses the voltage on the 12SUM pin. As long as this voltage is less than the reference voltage on
its positive input (nominally 0.675 V for 12CL = 1111B), the amplifier sources current to PASS. When the voltage
on the 12SUM pin exceeds the reference voltage, amplifier A2 begins to sink current from PASS. The
gate-to-source voltage of pass FET MPASS drops until the voltages on the two inputs of amplifier A2 balance.
The current flowing through the channel then nominally is shown in Equation 4.

Redundant vs. Non-Redundant Inrush Current Limiting
The TPS2459 can support redundant and non-redundant systems. Redundant systems generally use a single
fixed current limit, as described above. Non-redundant systems often allow 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. Designers
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 12CL bits during inrush. Setting 12VNRS causes the current limit
threshold and fast trip threshold to behave as if 12CL = 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 12CL bits.
PRODUCT PREVIEW
Figure 23 illustrates the behavior of the 12VNRS bit. Figure A shows that setting the 12CL bits to 1111B results
in a current limit equal to IMAX. Figure 6B shows how the 12CL bits affect the current limit when the 12VNRS bit
is cleared. Setting 12CL = 0111B reduces the current limit to 60% of IMAX. Figure C shows how the 12CL 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.

12-V ORing Operation for Redundant Systems
The 12-V channels use external pass FETs to provide reverse blocking. The TPS2459 pulls the BLK pin high
when the input-to-output differential voltage VIN12–OUT12 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.
Applications that do not use the blocking FET should clear the associated 12OR bit to turn off the internal
circuitry that drives the BLK pin. (See Figure 24).

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.

12-V ORing for High-Power Loads
The 12HP bit adjusts the ORing turn-off threshold of the 12-V channel. Clearing the bit sets the ORing turn-off
threshold to the default nominal value of -3 mV. Setting the bit shifts the threshold up by 6 mV to a nominal value
of +3 mV (Figure 8). Shifting the turn-off threshold to a positive 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 VIN12-OUT12 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 12HP should only be set for
high-power loads that satisfy the relationship.

Internal Bleed-Down Resistors and Bleed-Down Thresholds
The TPS2459 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
TPS2459 does not necessarily reset such a load because the capacitance attached to the output bus may not
fully discharge.
The TPS2459 includes two bleed-down comparators that monitor the OUT12 and OUT3 pins. The I2C™ interface
includes two bits (3DS and 12DS) that enable these comparators. Enabling a bleed-down comparator prevents
the 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 TPS2459 also
includes bleed-down resistors connected to each output rail through pins OUT12 and OUT3. Internal switches
connect these resistors from their corresponding rails to ground when the channels are disabled, providing that
one sets the appropriate bit in the I2C™ interface. These bits are named 12UV and 3UV. Clearing these bits
ensures that the corresponding resistors never connect to their buses.
PRODUCT PREVIEW
If redundant supplies connect to an output, clear the corresponding bleed-down threshold and bleed-down
resistor bits. Failing to clear the bleed-down threshold bit prevents the channel from enabling, while the
redundant supply continues to hold up the output rail. Failing to clear the bleed-down resistor bit causes current
to continually flow through the resistor when the TPS2459 is disabled and the redundant supply holds up the
output bus.

Multiswap Operation in Redundant Systems
TheTPS2459 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 that require redundancy
but need not comply with the MicroTCA™ power module standard.
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 26 and Figure 27 compare 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.

Fault Timer Programming
Both of the TPS2459 channels include a fault timer. The 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 fault timers are independently programmable from 0.5 to 32 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 shown in Table 13.

The TPS2459 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 TPS2459 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´ VIN12 ´ ICL
(13)
where
•
•
VIN12 equals the voltage present at the input of the 12-V channel
ICL equals the current limit setting for this channel (the inrush current if 12VNRS is set)
When used in MicroTCA Power Modules it is very important to protect the OUT12 pin by connecting a Schottky
diode from the OUT12 pin to GND. The relatively long and uncontrolled load line lengths to the AdvancedMC
modules make it quite likely that shutting off while under load causes an inductive transient to pull the OUT12 pin
below -0.3 V. Pulling OUT12 below this level can disrupt proper device operation.

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.

TPS2459 I2C™ Interface
The TPS2459 digital interface meets the specifications for an I2C™ bus operating in the high-speed mode. The
interface to recognize any one of 27 separate I2C™ addresses can be configured using the A0, A1, and A2 pins
(Table 14 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
TPS2459 supports only slave operation with two basic functions called register write and register read.

Figure 28 shows the format of a register write. First, the master issues a start condition, followed by a seven-bit
I2C™ address. Next, the master writes a zero to signify that it wishes to conduct a write operation. Upon
receiving an acknowledge from the slave, the master writes the eight-bit register number across the bus.
Following a second acknowledge, the master writes the eight-bit data value for the register across the bus. Upon
receiving a third acknowledge, the master issues a stop condition. This action concludes the register write.

Using the TPS2459 to Control an AdvancedMC™ Slot
The TPS2459 has been designed for use in systems under I2C™ control. Figure 30 shows the TPS2459 in a
typical system implementing redundant power sources. A non-redundant application would omit the blocking FET
and leave the BLK pin unconnected.

Layout Considerations
TPS2459 applications require careful attention to layout to ensure proper performance and minimize
susceptibility to transients and noise. IImportant points to consider include:
• Connect AGND and all GND pins to a ground plane.
• Place a 0.01-µF or larger ceramic bypass capacitors on IN12 and VDD3.
• Minimize the loop area created by the leads running to these devices.
• Minimize the loop area between the SENM and SENP leads by running them side-by-side.
• Use Kelvin connections at the points of contact with RSENSE Figure 31
• Minimize the loop area between the SET and SENP leads.
• Connect the SET leads to the same Kelvin points as the SENP leads, or as close to these points as possible.
• Size the following runs to carry at least 20 A:
– Runs on both sides of RSENSE
– Runs from the drains and sources of the external FETs
• Minimize the loop area between the OUT12 and SENP leads.
• Size the runs to IN3 and OUT3 to carry at least 1 A.
• Soldering the powerpad of the TPS2459 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 TPS2459 interrupts current flow, input inductance generates a positive voltage spike on the input and output
inductance generates a negative voltage spike on the output. Such transients can easily exceed twice the supply
voltage if steps are not taken to address the issue. Typical methods for addressing transients include :
• minimizing lead length/inductance into and out of the device
• transient voltage suppressors (TVS) on the input to absorb inductive spikes
• Shottky diode and/or capacitors across the output to absorb negative spikes
• a combination of ceramic and electrolytic capacitors on the input and output to absorb energy.
Equation 14 estimates the magnitude of these voltage spikes.
VSPIKE = VNOM + ILOAD ´ L

VNOM is the nominal voltage at terminal being analyzed
L is the combined inductance of feed to RTN lines.
C is the capacitance at point of disconnect.
ILOAD is the current through terminal at TDISCONNECT

If sufficient capacitance to prevent transients from exceeding the absolute ratings of the TPS2459 cannot be
included the application requires the addition of transient protectors.
