LT4220 Dual Supply Hot Swap Controller U FEATURES DESCRIPTIO Hot SwapTM Controller for Positive and Negative Supplies Supply Tracking Mode 2.7V to 16.5V Operation Analog Current Limit with Foldback Allows Safe Board Insertion and Removal from a Live Backplane Open-Collector Power Good Comparators Automatic Retry or Latchoff After a Current Fault Dual Undervoltage Lockout Comparator Inputs Current Fault Indication The LT(R)4220 16-pin dual voltage Hot Swap controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. The device operates with any combination of 2.7V to 16.5V and -2.7V to -16.5V supplies. Using two external N-channel pass transistors, the board supply voltages can be ramped up at an adjustable rate. A selectable tracking mode allows dual supply tracking control for ramping the positive and negative supplies together. The LT4220 features foldback current limit and latches off both gates if either supply remains in current limit longer than an adjustable time period. The IC can be configured for automatic restart after a delay set by the same timer. U APPLICATIO S A power good signal indicates when the output voltages monitored by the two FB comparators are within tolerance, and the gate drive signals are at their full on voltage.

The negative supply input ranges from -2.7V to -16.5V for normal operation. IEE is typically -1.6mA. An internal undervoltage lockout circuit disables the device for inputs greater than -2.45V. A 10, 1F RC bypass network from VIN- to the VEE pin decouples transients from the device. SENSEK (Pin 2): Negative Supply Current Limit Kelvin Sense Pin. Connect to VIN-. SENSE - (Pin 3): Negative Supply Current Limit Sense Pin. A sense resistor is placed in the supply path between SENSEK and SENSE-. The current limit circuit will regulate the voltage across the sense resistor to -50mV (SENSEK - SENSE-) when the FB- voltage is less than -0.7V. If VFB- goes above -0.7V, the voltage across the sense resistor decreases linearly and stops at -15mV when VFB- is 0V. If current limit is not used, connect to SENSEK. GATE- (Pin 4): Gate Drive for the External Negative Supply N-Channel FET. An internal 10A current source drives the pin. An external capacitor connected from the GATE- pin to VOUT- will control the rising slope of the VOUT- signal. The voltage is clamped to 9V above VEE. When the current limit is reached, the GATE- pin voltage will be adjusted to maintain a constant voltage across the RS- resistor while the timer capacitor starts to charge. If the TIMER pin voltage exceeds 1.24V, the fault latch will be set and both GATE- and GATE+ pins will be pulled low. The GATE- pin is pulled to VEE whenever the ON+ pin is below 1.24V, the ON- pin is above -1.24V, or either supply is in the undervoltage lockout voltage range, or the fault latch is set by the TIMER pin rising above 1.24V. FB- (Pin 5): Negative Power Good Comparator Input. This pin monitors the negative output voltage (VOUT-) with an external resistive divider. When the voltage on FB- is below -1.24V and the initial GATE- drive voltage has reached a maximum (indicated by setting the internal GATE- good latch) and the FB+ release conditions are met, the PWRGD pin is released. PWRGD is pulled low when the FB- pin is above -1.185V. Note the PWRGD pin is wireORed with the FB+ pin conditions. FB- also controls the negative supply current limit sense amplifier input offset to provide foldback current limit. The FB- pin linearly reduces the negative supply sense amplifier offset from -52mV to -15mV for FB- in the range -0.75V < FB- < 0V. To disable VEE PWRGD and foldback current limit, the FB- pin should be set to a voltage in the range: -1.3V > FB - > VEE + 0.5V but should never be more negative then -5.8V for normal operation. ON- (Pin 6): The Negative Supply Good Comparator Input. This pin monitors the negative input voltage (VEE) with an external resistive divider for undervoltage lockout. When the voltage at the ON- pin is below the VON-H high-to-low threshold (-1.24V), the negative supply is considered good. If the ON- pin rises above -1.185V, both GATE- and GATE+ are pulled low. If ON- is not used, the ON- pin should be set to -1.3V > ON- > VEE + 0.5V. TRACK (Pin 7): Supply Tracking Mode Control. If the TRACK pin is pulled high, the internal supply tracking circuit will be enabled during start-up. The TRACK circuit monitors the FB+ and the FB- pins to keep their magnitude within a small voltage range by controlling the GATE+ and GATE- charge currents. The tracking is disabled when either FB comparator indicates the output is good. Tracking is reenabled if ON+ is pulled below 1.185V, ON- is pulled above -1.185V or either supply is below the internal undervoltage lockout. Typically, the TRACK pin is tied to GND or to VCC. If left floating, tracking is enabled. TIMER (Pin 8): Fault Time Out Control. An external timing capacitor at this pin programs the maximum time the part is allowed to remain in current limit before issuing a fault and turning off the external FETs. Additionally, for autorestart, this pin controls the time before an autorestart is initiated. When the part goes into current limit, a 65A pull-up current source starts to charge the timing capacitor. When the voltage reaches VTIMERH (1.24V), the internal fault latch is set, FAULT pulls low and both GATE pins are pulled low; the pull-up current will be turned off and the capacitor is discharged by a 3.3A pull-down current. When the TIMER pin falls below 0.5V, the part is allowed to restart if the ON+ pin is pulsed below 1.185V, thereby resetting internal fault latch--typically done by connecting the 4220f 7 LT4220 U U U PI FU CTIO S FAULT pin to the ON+ pin, otherwise the part remains latched off. To disable the timeout circuit breaker, connect the TIMER pin to GND. GND (Pin 9): Supply Ground Pin. PWRGD (Pin 10): Open-Collector Output to GND. PWRGD goes to high impedance after the initial GATE- and final GATE+ pins have reached their maximum voltage and after the FB+ pin goes above 1.24V low-to-high threshold and after the FB- pin falls below -1.24V high-to-low threshold. An external pull-up resistor can pull the pin to a voltage higher or lower than VCC. If not used, PWRGD can be left floating or tied to GND. FAULT (Pin 11): Open-Collector Output to GND. The FAULT pin is pulled low whenever the TIMER pin rises above VTIMERH (1.24V) threshold, thereby setting the internal fault latch. It goes to high impedance whenever the internal fault latch is reset. The fault latch is reset with either internal undervoltage lockout conditions, or by the ON comparators if the TIMER pin is also below 0.5V. If not used, the FAULT pin can be left floating or tied to GND. ON+ (Pin 12): Positive Supply Good Comparator Input. It monitors the positive input voltage (VCC) with an external resistive divider for undervoltage lockout. When the voltage on ON+ is above the VON+H high-to-low threshold (1.24V) the positive supply is considered good. If ON+ drops below 1.185V, both GATE- and GATE+ are pulled low. released. PWRGD is pulled low when the FB+ pin is below 1.185V. The PWRGD pin is wire-ORed with the FB- pin conditions. FB+ also controls the positive current limit sense amplifier input offset to provide foldback current limit. The FB+ pin linearly reduces the positive sense amplifier offset from 48mV to 15mV for FB+ in the range 0.85V > FB+ > 0V. If PWRGD and foldback current limit are not used, the FB+ pin should be set to a voltage in the range of 1.3V < FB+ < VCC + 0.3V. GATE+ (Pin 14): High Side Gate Drive for the External Positive Supply N-Channel FET. An internal charge pump guarantees at least 3.5V above VCC, for supply voltages at 2.7V increasing to a minimum of 5V above VCC for supply voltages greater than 5V. A 10A pull-up current source drives the pin. An external capacitor connected from the GATE+ pin to GND will control the rising slope of the GATE+ signal. The voltage is clamped to 7V above VCC. When the current limit is reached, the GATE+ pin voltage will be adjusted to maintain a constant voltage across the RS+ resistor while the timer capacitor starts to charge. If the TIMER pin voltage exceeds 1.24V, the GATE+ pin will be pulled low. The GATE+ pin is pulled to GND whenever the ON+ pin is below 1.24V, the ON- pin is above -1.24V, either supply is in the undervoltage lockout voltage range, or the TIMER pin rises above 1.24V. If ON+ is pulled low after a current limit fault and when the TIMER pin is below 0.5V, the fault latch is reset allowing the part to turn back on. Typically the FAULT pin is tied back to the ON+ pin for autorestart. If not used, the ON+ pin should be set to a voltage in the range of 1.3V < ON+ < VCC + 0.3V. The ON+ pin requires a bypass capacitor connected to ground. SENSE+ (Pin 15): Positive Supply Current Limit Sense Pin. A sense resistor must be placed in the supply path between VCC and SENSE+. The current limit circuit will regulate the voltage across the sense resistor to 50mV (VCC - SENSE+) when the FB+ voltage is greater than 0.85V. If VFB+ goes below 0.85V, the voltage across the sense resistor decreases linearly and stops at 15mV when VFB+ is 0V. FB+ (Pin 13): Positive Power Good Comparator Input. This pin monitors the positive output voltage (VOUT+) with an external resistor divider. When the voltage on FB+ is above the VFB+H low-to-high threshold (1.24V) and the GATE+ drive voltage has reached a maximum, the PWRGD is VCC (Pin 16): Positive Supply. The positive supply input ranges from 2.7V to 16.5V for normal operation. ICC is typically 2.7mA. An internal undervoltage lockout circuit disables the chip for inputs less than 2.45V. Place a 0.1F bypass capacitor next to the VCC pin. 4220f 8 LT4220 W BLOCK DIAGRA VCC CURRENT LIMIT FROM SENSE AMPS TIMER AND LOGIC + ILIM FAULT S Q R R Q - 1.24V 60A FAULT LATCH 8 TIMER 3A 11 FAULT + - 0.5V 1.24V + ON+ ON - 12 PUMP 10A ON- + 6 -1.24V 1.24V FB - GATE ON - UVLO VCC AND VEE GOOD FB + 15 SENSE+ +- 53mV + + + - 13 FB - 14 GATE + + VCC TRACK 10 PWRGD - S Q P GATE GOOD EN R Q + 5 -1.24V VCC ON GATE GOOD LATCHES 10A 4 GATE - + - - N GATE GOOD S Q +- R Q 2 SENSEK 52mV TOFF S Q 3 SENSE- R Q WEAK DIODES TRACK OFF LATCH 1 VEE 9 GND 16 VCC TRACK 7 4220 BD SUBSTRATE VCC 4220f 9 LT4220 W UW TI I G DIAGRA S ON + 0V 1V FB + 1V 100mV tPLHON+ GATE+ 0V tPHLON+ PWRGD 10V 0.5V 4220 F01 1V 100mV tPLHFB+ tPHLFB+ 2.5V 2.5V 0V Figure 1.

SENSE--to-GATE- Timing U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Hot Circuit Insertion When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, the circuit board bypass capacitors can draw large peak currents from the backplane power bus as they charge up. The LT4220 is designed to turn on a board's V dual supplies in a controlled manner, allowing the circuit board to be safely inserted or removed from a live backplane. The part provides supply tracking as well as undervoltage and overcurrent protection. Power good and fault output signals indicate, respectively, if both power output voltages are ready or if an overcurrent time-out fault has occurred. The dual power supply on the circuit board is controlled with two external N-channel pass transistors Q1 and Q2 in the V dual power supply path. The sense resistors RS+ and RS- provide current detection while capacitor C1 and C2 control the VOUT+ and VOUT - slew rate. Optionally, the TRACK pin can be tied to VCC enabling the dual output voltages to ramp up together by tracking the voltages at the FB+ and FB- pins. Resistors R6 and R8 provide current control loop compensation while R5 and R7 prevent high frequency oscillations in Q1 and Q2. C3 and R8 on Q2 prevent fast dV/dt transients from turning Q2 on during 4220f 10 LT4220 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO live insertion. Resistive dividers R1, R2 and R3, R4 provide undervoltage sensing. Resistor dividers R9, R10 and R11, R12 provide a power good signal and control output voltage tracking when TRACK is enabled. Initial Power-Up Sequence After the power pins first make contact, transistors Q1 and Q2 remain off. If the voltage at the ON+ and ON- pins exceed the turn-on threshold voltage, the internal voltage on the VCC and VEE power pins exceed the undervoltage lockout threshold, and the timer pin voltage is less than 1.24V, the gate drive to transistors Q1 and Q2 will be turned on. The voltage on the GATE+ and GATE- pins will be regulated to control the inrush current if the voltage across RS+ or RS- exceeds the sense amplifier current limit threshold. If supply tracking is enabled, each gate will also be regulated to keep the magnitudes at the FB+ and FB- pins within 50mV of each other. Internal Supply Diodes The LT4220 contains two internal diodes which clamp VEE and VCC with respect to GND in the event either supply pin is floating. VEE is clamped one diode above GND and VCC is clamped one diode below GND. The current through these diodes are designed to handle 10mA internal device current and should not be used for high load current conditions.

A typical timing sequence is shown in Figure 8 with tracking enabled. The sequence is as follows: 1) The power pins make contact and the undervoltage lockout thresholds are exceeded. 2) The ON comparator thresholds are exceeded and the GATE pins start ramping up. VOUT+ follows GATE+ by the N-channel FET threshold voltage. 3) GATE+ is limited by the tracking circuit because VOUT- lags behind VOUT+. When VOUT- starts ramping, GATE- holds at approximately the threshold voltage of the N-channel FET due to C2 slew rate control. 4) When the magnitude of VOUT- catches up with VOUT+, GATE+ resumes ramping. The slowest VOUT will limit the faster VOUT slew rate. 5) GATE+ internal gate good signal threshold is reached. 6) GATE - internal gate good signal threshold is reached, enabling the FB output comparators. If both FB com12 VCC VEE 3 4 5 6 +UVLO parators indicate the output is good, the PWRGD pin output goes high impedance and is pulled up by an external pullup resistor. Power Supply Ramping For large capacitive loads, the inrush current will be limited by the VOUT+ and VOUT- slew rate or by the fold-back current limit. For a desired inrush current that is less than the fold-back current limit, the feedback networks R6, C1 and R8, C2 can be used to control the VOUT slew rate. For the desired inrush current and typical gate pull-up current, the feedback network capacitors C1 and C2 can be calculated as: C1 = (10A * CL1)/IINRUSH+ and (1) C2 = (10A * CL2)/IINRUSH- (2) where CL1 and CL2 are the positive and negative output load capacitance. If the supply-tracking mode is enabled (TRACK = High), during startup, the output with the slowest slew rate will also limit the slew rate of the opposite output (Note: Supply-tracking is also controlled by the resistive dividers on the FB pins. See Supply Tracking). Additionally, C1 and C2 should be greater than 5nF to prevent large overshoot in the output voltage for transient loads with small capacitive loads. Capacitor C3 and resistor R8 prevent Q2 from momentarily turning on when the power pins first make contact. Without C3, capacitor C2 and CGD(Q2) would hold the gate of Q2 near ground before the LT4220 could power up and pull the gate low. The minimum required value of C3 can be calculated by: -UVLO ON+ ON- GATE+ VEE - VTH C3 = (C GD(Q2) + C 2) * 1.2 VTH VOUT+ GATE- VOUT- PWRGD 4220 F08 Figure 8. Typical Timing Sequence (3) where VTH is the MOSFET's minimum gate threshold and VEEMAX is the maximum negative supply input voltage. If C2 is not used, the minimum value for C3 should be 10nF to ensure stability. C2 and C3 must be the same type to ensure tracking over temperature. 4220f 12 LT4220 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Current Limit/Electronic Circuit Breaker The LT4220 features foldback current limit with an electronic circuit breaker that protects against short-circuits or excessive supply currents. The current limit is set by placing sense resistors between VCC (Pin 16) and SENSE+ (Pin 15) and between SENSEK (Pin 2) and SENSE- (Pin 3). An adjustable timer will trip an electronic circuit breaker if the part remains in current limit for too long. To prevent excessive power dissipation in the pass transistors and to prevent voltage spikes on the input supply during overcurrent conditions at the output, the current folds back as a function of the output voltage, which is sensed at the feedback pins FB+ and FB- . When the voltage at the FB+ (or FB-) pin is 0V, the sense amplifier offset is 15mV (-15mV), and limits the current to ILIMIT = 15mV/ RS+ (-15mV/RS-). As the output voltage increases, the sense amplifier offset increases until the FB+ (or FB-) voltage reaches 0.85V (-0.75V), At which point the current limit reaches a maximum of ILIMIT = 48mV/RS+ (- 52mV/RS-). Timer Function and Autorestart The TIMER pin (Pin 8) provides a method for setting the maximum time the LT4220 is allowed to operate in current limit. When the current limit circuitry is not active, the TIMER pin is pulled to GND by a 3.3A current sink. Whenever the current limit circuit becomes active, by either a positive or negative sense amplifier operating in current limit, a 65A pull-up current source is connected to the TIMER pin and the voltage rises with a slope equal to dV/dt = 65A/CTIMER. The desired current limit time (t) can be set with a capacitor value of: CTIMER = t * 65A/1.24V (4) If the current limit circuit turns off, the TIMER pin will be discharged to GND at a rate of: dV/dt = 3.3A/CTIMER (5) Whenever the TIMER pin ramps up and reaches the 1.24V threshold, the internal fault latch is set and the FAULT pin (Pin 11) is pulled low. GATE+ is pulled down to ground, GATE- is pulled down to VEE, and the TIMER pin starts ramping back to GND by the 3.3A current sink. After the fault latch is set, the LT4220 can be restarted by pulling the ON+ pin low after the TIMER pin falls below 0.5V. The LT4220 can also be restarted by cycling either supply beyond its UVLO. Otherwise the part remains latched off. For autorestart, the FAULT pin can be tied to the ON+ pin. The autorestart will occur after the TIMER pin falls below 0.5V. Undervoltage Detection The ON+ and ON- pins can be used to detect an undervoltage condition at the power supply inputs. The ON+ and ON- pins are connected to analog comparators with 50mV of hysteresis. If the ON+ pin falls below its threshold voltage or the ON- pin rises above its threshold voltage, the GATE pins are pulled low and held low until the ON+ and ON- pins exceed their turn-on thresholds (1.24V and -1.24V). External capacitance at the ON pins may be required to filter supply ringing from crossing the ON comparator threshold. Additionally there is an internal undervoltage lockout on both supplies of approximately VCC < 2.45V and VEE > -2.45V. If either supply is in UVLO, both GATE pins will be pulled low and all internal latches will be reset. ON- Protection If the ON- pin is driven directly and not connected to the negative supply through a resistor divider, a 10k resistor must be connected between the driver and the ON- pin. Power Good Detection The LT4220 includes two comparators for monitoring the output voltages. The FB+ and the FB- pins are compared against 1.24V and -1.24V internal references respectively. The comparators exhibit 50mV of hysteresis. The comparator outputs are wire-ORed to the open collector PWRGD pin that is enabled once both GATE+ and GATE- pins have reached their maximum gate drive voltage as indicated by the internal gate good latches. The PWRGD pin goes high impedance when both FB+ and FB- inputs exceed VFB+H and VFB -H thresholds, GATE+ is fully on and Gate- initially has been fully on. 4220f 13 LT4220 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Supply Tracking ON+, ON- Bypass Capacitors If the TRACK pin (Pin 7) is high the supply power-up tracking mode is enabled. This feature forces both supplies to reach their final value at the same time, during power-up and for faults that drive the output supplies to zero. During this mode the GATE pins are controlled to keep the differential magnitude of the FB pins to within 50mV. The FB pins are scaled versions of the output voltages. Therefore, control of the FB pins, via the GATE pins, will control the output voltages at the same scale. Bypass capacitors are required from ON+ to ground and ON- to ground. A typical time constant is: |VFB(TRK)| = |VFB+ - VFB-| (6) Supply tracking will continue until: either FB pin reaches the associated PWRGD threshold. If any fault condition occurs that turns the GATE pins off, supply tracking will be reenabled. The GATE off conditions include: (1) either ON pin detects undervoltage, (2) internal undervoltage lockout, (3) the fault latch is set by a current limit time-out. VEE Bypassing The VEE supply pin should be filtered with an RC network to reduce high dV/dt slew rates from disturbing internal circuits. Typical RC bypassing sufficient to prevent circuit misbehavior is R14 = 10 and C5 = 1F. The GATE-, SENSEK and SENSE- pins have been designed such that they can be pulled below or above VEE for short periods of time while the VEE pin is reaching its steady state voltage. If desired, a higher R14 * C5 time constant may be used to prevent short circuit transients from tripping the VEE undervoltage lockout circuit at -2.45V. R14 should be sufficient to decouple C5 from causing transients on VIN- during live insertion. Under the condition of a short circuit on VOUT-, parasitic inductance and resistance in the VIN- path will cause VIN- to collapse toward 0V causing the VEE pin voltage to also discharge toward 0V before the external FET can be turned off (typically 7s to 10s). To prevent a UVLO condition from occurring, the R14 * C5 time constant should be sufficient to hold the VEE pin voltage out of the VEE UVLO voltage range. If the VEE pin reaches its UVLO voltage, GATE+ will also be pulled low. For the case where C3 is large, causing an even slower N-channel FET turnoff, higher RC bypassing may be necessary to prevent tripping the VEE UVLO. 14 TC (ON+) = (R1||R2)C7 = 44s TC (ON-) = (R3||R4)C8 = 44s Supply Ringing Normal circuit design practice calls for capacitive bypassing of the input supply to active devices. The opposite is true for Hot Swap circuits that are connected into a backplane, where capacitive loading would cause transients during an abrupt connection to the backplane. With little or no capacitive decoupling on the powered side of the N-channel FETs, connection transients or load transients will typically cause ringing on the supply leads due to parasitic inductance. It is recommended to use a snubber circuit comprising of a series 10 and 0.1F capacitor to dampen transient ringing. The supply decoupling circuit on the VEE pin also provides a snubber for VIN-. Additionally, if the supply voltage overshoot can exceed the 22V maximum rating on the part, a transient voltage suppressor is recommended. Voltage transients can occur during load short-circuit conditions, where parasitic inductance in the supply leads can build up energy before the external N-channel FET can be turned off. This is especially true for the negative side FET where a large C3 value slows the turn off of the N-channel FET. Subsequent overshoot when the FET is finally turned off can be as much as 2x the supply voltage even with the snubber circuit. Additional protection using a transient suppressor may be needed to prevent exceeding the maximum supply voltage rating. Supply Reversal Protection A variety of conditions on VOUT+ and VOUT - may result in supply reversal. To protect devices connected to VOUT+ and VOUT - protection diodes should be used. 1N4001 diodes can be used for most aplications. Connection of these diodes (D1, D2) are shown in the front page Typical Application. 4220f LT4220 U PACKAGE DESCRIPTIO GN Package 16-Lead Plastic SSOP (Narrow .150 Inch) (Reference LTC DWG # 05-08-1641) .189 - .196* (4.801 - 4.978) .045 .005 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 .254 MIN .009 (0.229) REF .150 - .165 .229 - .244 (5.817 - 6.198) .0165 .0015 .150 - .157** (3.810 - 3.988) .0250 TYP RECOMMENDED SOLDER PAD LAYOUT 1 .015 .004 x 45 (0.38 0.10) .007 - .0098 (0.178 - 0.249) 2 3 4 5 6 7 .053 - .068 (1.351 - 1.727) 8 .004 - .0098 (0.102 - 0.249) 0 - 8 TYP .016 - .050 (0.406 - 1.270) NOTE: 1.
