DESCRIPTION
Dual Supply Hot Swap
Controller for Advanced
Mezzanine Card
The LTC
®
4223 positive voltage Hot Swap
TM
controller
allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from
a live AMC or MicroTCA backplane. It controls the main
12V supply with an external N-channel MOSFET and the
3.3V auxiliary supply with an integrated switch. The 12V
output ramp rate is adjustable and includes inrush current
limiting. The 12V output is also protected against short
circuit faults with a fast acting current limit and a 5%
accurate timed circuit breaker. The 3.3V output includes
both soft start and overcurrent protection.
The LTC4223 features a current monitor output for the
12V supply, and reports fault and power-good status for
both supplies. It also detects card presence and allows
independent control of the 12V and auxiliary 3.3V sup-
ply outputs. The LTC4223-1 features a latch-off circuit
breaker, while the LTC4223-2 provides automatic retry
after a fault.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of
the device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to GND unless
otherwise specifi ed.
Note 3: An internal clamp limits the 12VGATE pin to a minimum of 4.5V
above 12VOUT. Driving this pin to voltages beyond the clamp may damage
the device.
Note 4: For the DFN package, the AUX switch on resistance, RDS(ON) limit
is guaranteed by correlation to wafer test measurements.

PIN FUNCTIONS
12VSENSE (Pin 1): 12V Current Sense Input. Connect this
pin to the output of the current sense resistor. The electronic
circuit breaker trips if the voltage across the sense resistor
exceeds 50mV for more than a fault fi lter delay.
12VIN (Pin 2): 12V Supply Input. Undervoltage lockout
disables the 12V supply until the input at 12VIN exceeds
9.7V.
12IMON (Pin 3): 12V Current Sense Monitoring Output.
This pin monitors the sense voltage between 12VIN and
12VSENSE. The gain ratio between this pin’s voltage and
the sense voltage is 33.
12ON (Pin 4): 12V Supply On Control Digital Input. A ris-
ing edge turns on the external N-channel MOSFET if
⎯
E
⎯
N
is pulled low and a falling edge turns it off. A high-to-low
transition on this pin will clear the 12V supply faults.
AUXIN (Pin 5): Auxiliary Supply Input. An internal 0.3Ω

Undervoltage lockout holds the switch off until the input
at AUXIN exceeds 2.5V.
VCC (Pin 6): Bias Supply Input. This pin provides power
to the device’s internal circuitry and operates from 2.7V to
6V. Undervoltage lockout circuit disables the device until
the input at VCC exceeds 2.45V. Bypass with 330nF.
AUXON (Pin 7): Auxiliary Supply On Control Digital Input.
A rising edge turns on the internal switch if

low and a falling edge turns it off. A high-to-low transi-
tion on both this pin and 12ON pin will clear the auxiliary

GND (Pin 8): Device Ground.
TIMER (Pin 9): Timer Capacitor Terminal. Connect a
capacitor between this pin and ground to set a 741ms/μF
duration for initial timing cycle, 123ms/μF for AUX current
limit during power-up and 6ms/μF duration for 12V current
limit before the external MOSFET is turned off.

the gate of the external N-channel MOSFET. An internal

OPERATION
The LTC4223 is designed to control the power on an Ad-
vanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) or MicroTCA backplane,
allowing boards to be safely inserted and removed. It
controls the 12V main and 3.3V auxiliary power through an
external N-channel MOSFET and integrated pass transistor.
These two supplies can be turned on and off independently
by their respective ON control pins.
If either AUXON or 12ON is pulled high, an initial tim-
ing cycle set by the TIMER capacitor value is initiated
once all these conditions are met: input supplies out of
undervoltage lockout; TIMER < 0.2V and
⎯
E
⎯
N low. At the
end of the initial timing cycle, if the AUXON pin is high, the
internal pass transistor turns on. It enters into an active
current limit loop if the inrush current charging the load
capacitor exceeds 240mA. When the load is in current
limit, a 10μA pull-up charges the TIMER pin capacitor. If
the load capacitor is fully charged and the switch is no
longer in current limit before the TIMER reaches 1.235V,
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
X
⎯
P
⎯
G
⎯
O
⎯

⎯
D pulls low indicating that power is good.
Otherwise the internal switch turns off and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T pulls
low when TIMER reaches 1.235V.
If 12ON pin is high at the end of the initial timing cycle,
an internal charge pump charges the gate of the external
MOSFET with 10μA pull-up. Connecting an external gate
capacitor limits the inrush current charging the load ca-
pacitor. If the inrush current exceeds its limited current
value, an internal analog current limit (ACL) amplifi er
servos the gate to force 60mV across the external sense
resistor connected between 12VIN and 12VSENSE pins.
During this period, TIMER pin capacitor is charged by a
200μA pull-up. If the load is fully charged and no longer in
current limit before the TIMER reaches 1.235V,
⎯

pulls low. Otherwise 12V shuts off and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T pulls low
when TIMER reaches 1.235V.
If an overcurrent fault occurs on the auxiliary supply after
power-up, the current is limited to 240mA and after a 25μs
delay, the circuit breaker trips and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T pulls low. Ther-
mal shutdown protects the internal pass transistor from
overheating by shutting it off at 150°C. If an overcurrent
fault occurs on the 12V supply, the current is limited to
60mV/RSENSE. After a timing cycle delay set by 200μA
charging the TIMER capacitor, the circuit breaker trips
and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T pulls low. An overcurrent fault on the auxiliary
supply shuts off 12V; a fault on the 12V supply does not
affect the auxiliary supply.
The LTC4223 provides high side current sensing informa-
tion for the 12V supply at the 12IMON pin. The 12IMON
output voltage is 33 times the sense voltage, allowing it
to be used with an external ADC.
In the off condition, 12VOUT and AUXOUT are discharged
to ground by internal N-channel pull downs.

The typical LTC4223 application is in a Carrier board
for Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMC), delivering 3.3V
auxiliary and 12V power to the AMC module. A control-
ler on the Carrier board sequences the turn-on of power
supplies and manages the fault and power-good reports
from the LTC4223.
The LTC4223 detects board presence during insertion and
extraction, allowing power to be delivered in a controlled
manner without damaging the connector. The typical
LTC4223 application circuit is shown in Figure 1. External
component selection is discussed in detail in the Design
Example section.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Turn-On Sequence
The power supplies delivered to an AMC module are
controlled by the external N-channel pass transistor, Q1 in
the 12V power path and an internal pass transistor in the
3.3V auxiliary power path. Sense resistor RS monitors the
12V load current for fault detection and current sensing
information. GATE capacitor CG provides gate slew rate
control to limit the inrush current. Resistor RG with CG
compensates the current control loop while R3 prevents
parasitic oscillations in Q1.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Several conditions must be met before the external and
internal switches are allowed to turn on. First VCC and
the input supplies (12VIN, AUXIN) must exceed their
undervoltage lockout thresholds. Next TIMER must be
<0.2V and
⎯
E
⎯
N must be pulled low.
Once these conditions are met, a debounce timing cycle is
initiated when AUXON or 12ON pin is toggled from low to
high. These two control pins turn on/off the 3.3V auxiliary
and 12V supplies. At the end of the debounce cycle, the
ON pins and fault status are checked. If both ON pins are
high and fault is cleared, the 3.3V auxiliary supply starts
up fi rst followed by the 12V supply. Note that the turn-on
delay for the AUXON and 12ON pins is 15μs and 30μs.
Figure 2 shows the two supplies turning on in sequence
after
⎯
E
⎯
N goes low.
By default, the internal pass transistor turns on fi rst if
both ON pins are high and start-up conditions met. The
output is current limited at 240mA by its internal ACL
amplifi er as the load current charging the output capaci-
tor increases. This causes the TIMER to ramp up with a
10μA pull-up. Normally the AUXOUT voltage exceeds its
power-good threshold before TIMER time-out and then

⎯

D pulls low.
Once AUXOUT signals power is good and the TIMER pin
returns to <0.2V, the external MOSFET is then allowed to
turn on by charging up the GATE with a 10μA current source
(Figure 2). The voltage at the GATE pin rises with a slope
equal to 10μA/CG and the supply inrush current fl owing
into the load capacitor CL1 (see Figure 14) is limited to:

The 12V output follows the GATE voltage when the MOSFET
turns on. If the voltage across the current sense resistor

If only the 12ON pin is high at the end of debounce cycle,
the external MOSFET turns on fi rst. After that, if AUXON
pulls high, the internal switch turns on only after the 12V
output signals power is good and TIMER <0.2V.

Turn-Off Sequence
The switches can be turned off by various conditions and
this is summarized in Table 1.
When the 12ON pin goes low, the external switch is turned

sink. The

Card Presence Detect
In an AMC system,
⎯
P
⎯
S
⎯
1 and
⎯
P
⎯
S
⎯
0 signals are used to
detect the presence of a card upon insertion or removal.
Normally
⎯
P
⎯
S
⎯
1 is connected to the
⎯
E
⎯
N pin with a pull-up
resistor. If AUXON or 12ON is high when the
⎯
E
⎯
N pin goes
low, indicating a board insertion, a timing cycle for contact
debouncing is initiated. Upon insertion, any bounces on the
⎯
E
⎯
N pin will re-start the timing cycle. When TIMER fi nally
reaches its threshold during ramp up, the fault latches
will be cleared. If the
⎯
E
⎯
N pin remains low at the end of the
timing cycle, the switches are allowed to turn on.
If the
⎯
E
⎯
N pin is toggled from low to high, indicating board
removal, all the switches will be turned off after a 20μs delay.
Any latched faults will not be cleared. However, removing
the card could cause the
⎯
E
⎯
N pin voltage to bounce, clearing
the fault latches undesirably. This is prevented by blanking
the bounces internally with a TIMER ramp up period given
by CT • 123[ms/μF] as shown in Figure 4.
Timer Functions
An external capacitor CT connected from the TIMER pin
to ground is used to perform several functions.
1. Ignore contact debouncing during card insertion when
the device is enabled. The debounce cycle is given
by ramping up CT with 10μA current to TIMER high
threshold (1.235V) and then ramping down with 2μA
current to below TIMER low threshold (0.2V). This gives
an average debounce cycle time of CT • 741[ms/μF].
After that, if any ON pin is pulled high and
⎯
E
⎯
N pin is
low, the switches can be turned on.
2. Blanking contact bounce on the
⎯
E
⎯
N pin that might
trigger unwanted fault clearing during card removal.
The blanking time is given by CT • 123[ms/μF].
3. Fault fi ltering during auxiliary supply power-up in analog
current limit. TIMER pulls up with 10μA and pulls down
with 2μA. The fi lter time is given by CT • 123[ms/μF].
4. 12V supply fault fi ltering during and after power-up
in analog current limit. TIMER pulls up with 200μA
and pulls down with 2μA. The fi lter time is given by
CT • 6[ms/μF].
5. For cooling off during an auto-retry cycle after
an overcurrent fault on auxiliary or 12V supply
(LTC4223-2). The cool-off time is given by CT • 1482
[ms/μF] after an auxiliary supply fault and CT • 1358[ms/
μF] after a 12V supply fault.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
As the TIMER capacitor is used for fault fi ltering during
power-up for both the auxiliary and 12V supplies, only
one supply can be started up at any one time. The other
supply waits until the power-good signal is generated by
the powering-up supply and the TIMER pin voltage falls
below 0.2V. By default, the 3.3V auxiliary supply starts up
fi rst if both AUXON and 12ON are high at the end of the
debounce cycle.
Whenever both AUXON and 12ON are pulled low, the de-
vice is in reset mode and TIMER capacitor is discharged
to ground by an 8mA current sink.
Thermal Shutdown
The internal 3.3V auxiliary supply switch is protected by
thermal shutdown. If the switch’s temperature reaches
150°C, the aux switch will shut off immediately and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T
will pull low. The external 12V supply switch also turns
off. The switches are allowed to turn on again by cycling
both the AUXON and 12ON pins low then high after the
internal switch’s temperature falls below 120°C.
Overcurrent Fault
The LTC4223 features an adjustable current limit with circuit
breaker function that protects the external MOSFET against
short circuits or excessive load current on 12V supply. The
voltage across the external sense resistor is monitored by
the analog current limit (ACL) amplifi er and the electronic
circuit breaker (ECB) comparator. If an overcurrent fault
occurs that causes the sense voltage to reach the ACL
threshold (60mV), the ACL amplifi er regulates the MOSFET
to prevent any further increase in current. This overcurrent
condition results in a sense voltage that exceeds the ECB
threshold. As a result, the TIMER capacitor is charged
by a 200μA current. If the condition persists, the TIMER
pin voltage will reach its threshold (1.235V). When this
occurs, the
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T pin pulls low and a 1mA current pulls
the GATE pin to ground causing the MOSFET to turn off.
The circuit breaker time delay, the time required for the
TIMER pin capacitor to charge from ground to the TIMER
pin threshold, is given by CT • 6[ms/μF].
After the MOSFET turns off, the TIMER pin capacitor dis-
charges with a 2μA pull-down current. For the auto-retry
version (LTC4223-2), if the TIMER discharges to below
0.2V, a new start-up cycle will begin. The TIMER starts
ramping up and clears faults when it exceeds 1.235V;
thereafter it ramps down (see the section on Auto-Retry
for details). Figure 5 shows an overcurrent fault on the
12V output.
In the event of a severe short-circuit fault on 12V output
as shown in Figure 6, the output current can surge to
tens of amperes. The LTC4223 responds within a very
short time to bring the current under control by pulling
the MOSFET’s GATE-to-SOURCE pin voltage down to zero
volts. Thereafter, the GATE of the MOSFET recovers rapidly
due to the RG/CG compensation network and enters into
active current limiting until the TIMER times out. Due to
parasitic supply lead inductance, an input supply without
any bypass capacitor will collapse during the high cur-
rent surge and then spike upwards when the current is
interrupted. An input supply transient protection network
comprising of Z1, R1 and C1 shown in Figure 13 is recom-
mended if there is no input capacitance.

still pulling low due to output load capacitor, 25μs fault
time-out applies.
When the auxiliary supply is powered up into an output
short, the ACL amplifi er will regulate the gate of the
internal pass transistor to produce 240mA output cur-
rent. At this time a 10μA pull-up current starts charging
up the TIMER pin capacitor until it exceeds its threshold
(1.235V). The internal pass transistor then turns off and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T pulls low. Thereafter, the TIMER is discharged by
a 2μA pull-down current. The fault fi lter delay is given by
CT • 123[ms/μF].
After a successful power-up cycle, the ACL amplifi er pro-
tects the auxiliary supply from overcurrent by pulling down
the gate of the internal pass transistor rapidly as shown
in Figure 7. Thereafter, the gate recovers and servos the
output current to about 240mA for 25μs before pulling
down to ground gently, turning the transistor off. At this
time,
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T pulls low and the 12V external MOSFET is
also turned off by the 1mA GATE pull-down current.
Whenever the 3.3V auxiliary supply trips off due to an
overcurrent fault, the 12V supply also shuts off. The
auxiliary supply is, however, unaffected by faults on the
12V supply. In either case
⎯
F
⎯
A

U

L
⎯
T latches low when the
affected channels turn off, and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T is cleared by tog-
gling the ON pins. Faults are cleared automatically in the
LTC4223-2 auto-retry version.
If there is signifi cant supply lead inductance, a severe
output short may collapse the input to ground before the
LTC4223 can bring the current under control. In this case
the undervoltage lockout will activate after a 12μs fi lter
delay, and pull the gate down. Then the ACL amplifi er will
take control and regulate the output in active current limit.
Under this situation, the fault time-out is set by TIMER
delay instead of 25μs fi lter delay.

An undervoltage fault occurs if either AUXIN or 12VIN falls
below its undervoltage threshold for longer than 12μs. This
turns off the affected supply’s switch instantly, but does
not clear the fault latches. Further, an undervoltage fault
on one supply does not affect the operation of the other
supply. If the bias supply input, VCC falls below its UVLO
threshold for more than 80μs, all supply switches are turned
off and the fault latches are cleared. Operation resumes
from a fresh start-up cycle when VCC is restored.

Several conditions must be met before the power-good
outputs assert low.
1. The monitored output should be above its power-
good threshold and hysteresis.
2. The input supply is above undervoltage lockout.
3.
⎯
E
⎯
N is low.
4. The associated ON pin is high.
5. Thermal shutdown is not activated.
If any of the supply outputs falls below its power-good
threshold for more than 20μs, the respective power-good
output will be pulled high by the external pull-up resistor
or internal 10μA pull-up.
Resetting Faults (LTC4223-1)
Any supply faults tripping the circuit breaker are latched
and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T asserts low. For the latched-off version
(LTC4223-1), to reset a fault latch due to overcurrent or
thermal shutdown on auxiliary supply, pull both AUXON and
12ON pins low together for at least 100μs, after which the
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T will go high. Toggling both the ON pins high together
again initiates the debounce timing cycle, thereafter the
auxiliary supply starts up fi rst followed by 12V supply. To
skip the debounce timing cycle, fi rst pull only AUXON low
then high for at least 50μs before toggling 12ON low then
high. The fault latch clears on the falling edge of 12ON
and the auxiliary supply powers up. Thereafter, the 12V
supply powers up if 12ON pulls high.
To reset a fault on the 12V supply and re-start the output,
toggle only the 12ON pin low and then high again. Tog-
gling the
⎯
E
⎯
N pin high then low again or bringing the bias
input, VCC below its UVLO threshold for more than 100μs
will initiate the debounce timing cycle and reset all fault
latches before power-up. Bringing AUXIN or 12VIN below its
undervoltage threshold will not reset the fault latches. For
the auto-retry version (LTC4223-2), the latched fault will
be cleared automatically after a cool-off timing cycle.
Auto-Retry after a Fault (LTC4223-2)
At time point 1 in Figure 8, if a fault latched-off the 3.3V
auxiliary supply after power-up, a cool-off cycle begins.
The TIMER capacitor charges up to 1.235V with a 10μA
current and then discharges with a 2μA current to 0.2V at
time point 3. This is followed by a debounce timing cycle
whereby the fault latch is cleared, and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T pulls high
when TIMER reaches its threshold at time point 4. At the
end of debounce cycle, the internal switch is allowed to
turn on. If the output short persists, the auxiliary supply
powers up into a short with active current limiting. At time
point 7, the fault fi lter delay begins with TIMER ramping
up with a 10μA current. If the TIMER times out at time
point 8,
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T will be pulled low and a new cool-off cycle
begins with TIMER ramping down with a 2μA current.
The whole process repeats itself until the output-short
is removed.
In Figure 9, a fault latches off the 12V supply at time point
1; a cool-off cycle begins by discharging the TIMER ca-
pacitor with 2μA current from 1.235V to 0.2V threshold.
At time point 2 a new debounce timing cycle is initiated
where the fault latch is cleared, and
⎯
F
⎯
A
⎯
U
⎯
L
⎯
T pulls high when
TIMER reaches its threshold at time point 3. At the end of
the debounce cycle, the 12V GATE is allowed to start up. If
the output short persists, the 12V supply powers up into a
short with active current limiting. At time point 6, the fault
fi lter delay begins with TIMER ramping up with a 200μA
current. The TIMER times out at time point 7,
⎯

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
GATE Pin Voltage
The gate drive at 12VGATE is compatible with any logic
level MOSFET. The guaranteed range of gate drive is 4.5V
to 7.9V, with a typical of 6.2V.
Active Current Loop Compensation
The compensation network consisting of resistor RG and
gate slew rate control capacitor CG stabilizes the internal
active current limit circuit. The value of CG is selected based
on the inrush current allowed. The suggested value for
RG is 47Ω. The value of CG should be ≤330nF and RG is
between 10Ω and 100Ω for optimum performance.
High Side Current Sense
The 12V load current is monitored via the voltage across an
external sense resistor. The LTC4223 features a high side
current sense amplifi er that translates the sense voltage
from the positive rail to the negative rail using a resistor
ratio of 33 times. The output voltage at 12IMON pin can
then be fed into an LTC1197L ADC as shown in Figure 10
for data conversion. The current sense information can be
used by the system controller to manage the power budget
allocated to the modules on the card. Full scale input to
the current sense amplifi er is 82.5mV, corresponding to
an output of about 2.7V. If the input exceeds 100mV, the
output clamps at 3.2V.
VCC Supply Filtering
The internal circuitry of the LTC4223 is powered from the
VCC pin. Bypass VCC with at least 330nF to ground. If VCC
is derived from the same supply as is AUXIN, include a
decoupling resistor as shown in Figure 11. This RC net-
work allows the VCC pin to ride out supply glitches caused
by short circuits on the auxiliary output or on adjacent
boards, thus preventing an undervoltage lockout condi-
tion on VCC. Since the absolute maximum rating for VCC
is 7V as compared to 10V for AUXIN, select R2 and C2 to
keep the peak voltage seen by VCC below 7V during any
voltage spikes.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Supply Transient Protection
The supply inputs, AUXIN and 12VIN are fed directly from
the regulated output of the backplane supply, where bulk
bypassing assures a spike-free operating environment.
In other applications where the bulk bypassing is located
far from the LTC4223, spikes generated during output
short circuit events could exceed the absolute maximum
ratings for AUXIN and 12VIN. To minimize such spikes,
use wider traces or heavier trace plating to reduce the
power trace inductance. Also, bypass locally with a 10μF
electrolytic and 100nF ceramic, or alternatively clamp
the input with a transient voltage suppressor (Z1, Z2) as
shown in Figure 13. A 10Ω, 100nF snubber damps the
response and eliminates ringing. A recommended layout
of the 12V transient protection devices Z1, R1 and C1
around the LTC4223 is shown in Figure 12.

The fi rst step is to select the appropriate value of RSENSE
for the 12V supply. Calculating RSENSE value is based on

PCB Layout Considerations
For proper operation of the LTC4223’s circuit breaker,
Kelvin-connection to the sense resistor is strongly rec-
ommended. The PCB layout should be balanced and
symmetrical to minimize wiring errors. In addition, the
PCB layout for the sense resistor and the power MOSFET
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 applications where load current exceeds 10A, wide
PCB traces are recommended to minimize resistance
and temperature rise. The suggested trace width for 1
oz copper foil is 0.03” for each ampere of DC current to
keep PCB trace resistance, voltage drop and temperature
rise to a minimum. Note that the sheet resistance of 1 oz
copper foil is approximately 0.5mΩ/square, and voltage
drops due to trace resistance add up quickly in high cur-
rent applications.
In most applications, it will be necessary to use plated-
through via to make circuit connections from component
layers to power and ground layers internal to the PCB. For
1 oz copper foil plating, a general rule is 1A of DC current
per via. Consult your PCB fabrication facility for design
rules pertaining to other plating thicknesses.
It is important to place the VCC bypass capacitor C2 as
close as possible between VCC and GND. The transient
voltage suppressors Z1 and Z2 are also placed between
the supply inputs and ground using short wide traces.

The inrush current can be limited by using the GATE ca-
pacitance (CG) so that the power dissipated in the MOSFET
is well within its safe operating area (SOA). For IGATE =
10μA and CL1 = 800μF, we choose CG = 15nF to set the
inrush current to 0.5A.

This results in PAVG = 3W and the MOSFET selected must
be able to tolerate 3W for 19ms. The increase in steady
state junction temperature due to power dissipated in
the MOSFET is ΔT = PAVG • Zth where Zth is the thermal
impedance.
Under this condition, the Si7336ADP datasheet’s Tran-
sient Thermal Impedance plot indicates that the junction
temperature will increase by 2.4°C using ZthJC = 0.8°C/W
(single pulse).
The duration and magnitude of the power pulse that results
during a short-circuit condition on the 12V output are a
function of the TIMER capacitance and LTC4223’s analog
current limit. The short-circuit duration is given as 0.1μF
• 6[ms/μF] = 600μs for CT = 0.1μF. The maximum short-
circuit current is calculated using the maximum analog
current limit threshold, ΔVSENSE(ACL)(MAX) and minimum
RSENSE value.

So the maximum power dissipated in the MOSFET is 11A •
12V or 132W for 600μs. The Si7336ADP datasheet’s Tran-
sient Thermal Impedance plot indicates that the worse-case
increase in junction temperature during the short-circuit
condition is 13.2°C using ZthJC = 0.1°C/W (single pulse).
This will not cause the maximum junction temperature to
be exceeded. The SOA curves of the Si7336ADP are also
checked to be safe under this condition.

For proper operation, ITRIP(MIN) must exceed the maximum
load current with margin, so RSENSE = 6mΩ should suffi ce
for the 12V supply.
The second step is to determine the TIMER capacitance
based on the time required to charge up completely the
output load capacitor on auxiliary supply in active current
limit without exceeding the fault fi lter delay. The worst-
case start-up time is calculated using the minimum active
current limit value for the auxiliary supply.

Considering the tolerances for the TIMER charging rate
and capacitance, a value of 0.1μF (±10%) for CT should
suffi ce.
Since the TIMER charging rate during fault time-out is
20 times faster for the 12V supply as compared to the
auxiliary supply during start-up, this scheme ensures that
the external MOSFET will not overheat under any output-
short condition. The fault fi lter delay for the 12V supply
is given by 0.1μF • 6[ms/μF] = 600μs versus 12ms for
the auxiliary supply.
The next step is to verify that the thermal ratings of the
selected external MOSFET for the 12V supply aren’t ex-
ceeded during power-up or an output-short.
Assuming the MOSFET dissipates power only due to inrush
current charging the load capacitor, the energy dissipated
in the MOSFET during power-up is the same as that stored
into the load capacitor. The average power dissipated in
the MOSFET is given by:
