Positive High Voltage
Hot Swap Controllers
The LT
®
1641-1/LT1641-2 are 8-pin Hot Swap
TM
control-
lers that allow a board to be safely inserted and removed
from a live backplane. Using an external N-channel pass
transistor, the board supply voltage can be ramped up at
a programmable rate. A high side switch driver controls an
N-channel gate for supply voltages ranging from 9V to
80V.
The chips feature a programmable analog foldback cur-
rent limit circuit. If the chips remain in current limit for
more than a programmable time, the N-channel pass
transistor is either latched off (LT1641-1) or is set to
automatically restart after a time-out delay (LT1641-2).
The PWRGD output indicates when the output voltage,
sensed by the FB pin, is within tolerance. The ON pin
provides programmable undervoltage lockout.
The LT1641-1/LT1641-2 are available in the 8-lead SO
package.

ON (Pin 1): The ON pin is used to implement undervoltage
lockout. When the ON pin is pulled below the 1.233V High-
to-Low threshold voltage, an undervoltage condition is
detected and the GATE pin is pulled low to turn the
MOSFET off. When the ON pin rises above the 1.313V
Low-to-High threshold voltage, the MOSFET is turned on
again.
Pulsing the ON pin low after a current limit fault will reset
the fault latch and allow the part to turn back on.
FB (Pin 2): Power Good Comparator Input. It monitors the
output voltage with an external resistive divider. When the
voltage on the FB pin is lower than the High-to-Low
threshold of 1.233V, the PWRGD pin is pulled low and
released when the FB pin is pulled above the 1.313V Low-
to-High threshold.
The FB pin also effects foldback current limit (see Figure 7
and related discussion).
PWRGD (Pin 3): Open Collector Output to GND. The
PWRGD pin is pulled low whenever the voltage at the FB
pin falls below the High-to-Low threshold voltage. It goes
into a high impedance state when the voltage on the FB pin
exceeds the Low-to-High threshold voltage. An external
pull-up resistor can pull the pin to a voltage higher or lower
than V
CC
.
GND (Pin 4): Chip Ground.
TIMER (Pin 5): Timing Input. An external timing capacitor
at this pin programs the maximum time the part is allowed
to remain in current limit.
When the part goes into current limit, an 77µA pull-up
current source starts to charge the timing capacitor. When
the voltage on the TIMER pin reaches 1.233V, the GATE
pin is pulled low; the pull-up current will be turned off and
the capacitor is discharged by a 3µA pull-down current.
When the TIMER pin falls below 0.5V, the GATE pin either
turns on automatically (LT1641-2) or turns on once the
ON pin is pulsed low to reset the internal fault latch
(LT1641-1). If the ON pin is not cycled low, the GATE pin
remains latched off. Use no less than 1.5nF for the timing
capacitor, C2.
GATE (Pin 6): The High Side Gate Drive for the External
N-Channel. An internal charge pump guarantees at least
10V of gate drive for supply voltages above 20V and 4.5V
gate drive for supply voltages between 10.8V and 20V. The
rising slope of the voltage at the GATE is set by an external
capacitor connected from the GATE pin to GND and an
internal 10µA pull-up current source from the charge
pump output.
When the current limit is reached, the GATE pin voltage will
be adjusted to maintain a constant voltage across the
sense resistor while the timer capacitor starts to charge.
If the TIMER pin voltage exceeds 1.233V, the GATE pin will
be pulled low.
The GATE pin is pulled to GND whenever the ON pin is
pulled low, the V
CC
supply voltage drops below the 8.3V
undervoltage lockout threshold or the TIMER pin rises
above 1.233V.
SENSE (Pin 7): The Current Limit Sense Pin. A sense
resistor must be placed in the supply path between V
CC
and SENSE. The current limit circuit will regulate the
voltage across the sense resistor (V
CC
– V
SENSE
) to 47mV
when V
FB
is 0.5V or higher. If V
FB
drops below 0.5V, the
voltage across the sense resistor decreases linearly and
stops at 12mV when V
FB
is 0V.
To defeat current limit, short the SENSE pin to the V
CC
pin.
V
CC
(Pin 8): The Positive Supply Input ranges from 9V to
80V for normal operation. I
CC
is typically 2mA. An internal
undervoltage lockout circuit disables the chip for inputs
less than 8.3V.

Hot Circuit Insertion
When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, the
supply bypass capacitors on the boards draw high peak
currents from the backplane power bus as they charge up.
The transient currents can permanently damage the con-
nector pins and glitch the system supply, causing other
boards in the system to reset.
The chip is designed to turn on a board’s supply voltage in
a controlled manner, allowing the board to be safely
inserted or removed from a live backplane. The chip also
provides undervoltage and overcurrent protection while a
power good output signal indicates when the output
supply voltage is ready.
Power-Up Sequence
The power supply on a board is controlled by placing an
external N-channel pass transistor (Q1) in the power path
(Figure 5). Resistor R
S
provides current detection and
capacitor C1 provides control of the GATE slew rate.
Resistor R6 provides current control loop compensation
while R5 prevents high frequency oscillations in Q1.
Resistors R1 and R2 provide undervoltage sensing.
After the power pins first make contact, transistor Q1 is
turned off. If the voltage at the ON pin exceeds the turn-on
threshold voltage, the voltage on the V
CC
pin exceeds the
undervoltage lockout threshold, and the voltage on the
TIMER pin is less than 1.233V, transistor Q1 will be turned
on (Figure 6). The voltage at the GATE pin rises with a slope
equal to 10µA/C1 and the supply inrush current is set at
I
INRUSH
= C
L
• 10µA/C1. If the voltage across the current
sense resistor R
S
gets too high, the inrush current will then
be limited by the internal current limit circuitry which
adjusts the voltage on the GATE pin to maintain a constant
voltage across the sense resistor.
Once the voltage at the output has reached its final value,
as sensed by resistors R3 and R4, the PWRGD pin goes
high.

LT1641-1/LT1641-2
164112fc
Short-Circuit Protection
The chip features a programmable foldback current limit
with an electronic circuit breaker that protects against
short-circuits or excessive supply currents. The current
limit is set by placing a sense resistor between V
CC
(Pin 8)
and SENSE (Pin 7).
To prevent excessive power dissipation in the pass tran-
sistor and to prevent voltage spikes on the input supply
during short-circuit conditions at the output, the current
folds back as a function of the output voltage, which is
sensed at the FB pin (Figure 7).
When the voltage at the FB pin is 0V, the current limit
circuit drives the GATE pin to force a constant 12mV drop
across the sense resistor. As the output voltage at the FB
pin increases, the voltage across the sense resistor in-
creases until the FB pin reaches 0.5V, at which point the
voltage across the sense resistor is held constant at 47mV.
The maximum current limit is calculated as:
I
LIMIT
= 47mV/R
SENSE
For a 0.025 sense resistor, the current limit is set at
1.88A and folds back to 480mA when the output is shorted
to ground.
The IC also features a variable overcurrent response time.
The time required to regulate Q1’s drain current depends
on: Q1’s input capacitance; gate capacitor C1 and com-
pensation resistor R6; and the internal delay from the
SENSE to the GATE pin. Figure 8 shows the delay from a
voltage step at the SENSE pin until the GATE voltage starts
falling, as a function of overdrive.
TIMER
The TIMER pin (Pin 5) provides a method for program-
ming the maximum time the chip is allowed to operate in
current limit. When the current limit circuitry is not active,
the TIMER pin is pulled to GND by a 3µA current source.
After the current limit circuit becomes active, an 80µA pull-
up current source is connected to the TIMER pin and the
voltage will rise with a slope equal to 77µA/C
TIMER
as long
as the current limit circuit remains active. Once the desired
maximum current limit time is set, the capacitor value is:
C(nF) = 62 • t(ms).
If the current limit circuit turns off, the TIMER pin will be
discharged to GND by the 3µA current source.
Whenever the TIMER pin reaches 1.233V, either the inter-
nal fault latch is set (LT1641-1) or the autorestart latch is
set (LT1641-2). The GATE pin is immediately pulled to
GND and the TIMER pin is pulled back to GND by the 3µA

current source. When the TIMER pin falls below 0.5V, the
GATE pin either turns on automatically (LT1641-2) or once
the ON pin is pulsed low to reset the internal fault latch
(LT1641-1).
The waveform in Figure 9 shows how the output latches off
following a short-circuit. The drop across the sense resis-
tor is held at 12mV as the timer ramps up. Since the output
did not rise bringing FB above 0.5V, the circuit latches off.
For Figure 9, C
T
= 100nF.
Undervoltage and Overvoltage Detection
The ON pin can be used to detect an undervoltage condi-
tion at the power supply input. The ON pin is internally
connected to an analog comparator with 80mV of hyster-
esis. If the ON pin falls below its threshold voltage (1.233V),
the GATE pin is pulled low and is held low until ON is high
again.
Figure 10 shows an overvoltage detection circuit. When
the input voltage exceeds the Zener diode’s breakdown
voltage, D2 turns on and starts to pull the TIMER pin high.
After the TIMER pin is pulled higher than 1.233V, the fault
latch is set and the GATE pin is pulled to GND immediately,
turning off transistor Q1. The waveforms are shown in
Figure 11. Operation is restored either by interrupting
power or by pulsing ON low.
Power Good Detection
The chip includes a comparator for monitoring the output
voltage. The noninverting input (FB pin) is compared
against an internal 1.233V precision reference and exhib-
its 80mV hysteresis. The comparator’s output (PWRGD
pin) is an open collector capable of operating from a pull-
up as high as 100V.
The PWRGD pin can be used to directly enable/disable a
power module with an active high enable input. Figure 12
shows how to use the PWRGD pin to control an active low
enable input power module. Signal inversion is accom-
plished by transistor Q2 and R7.
Supply Transient Protection
The IC is 100% tested and guaranteed to be safe from
damage with supply voltages up to 100V. However, spikes
above 100V may damage the part. During a short-circuit
condition, the large change in currents flowing through
the power supply traces can cause inductive voltage
spikes which could exceed 100V. To minimize the spikes,
the power trace parasitic inductance should be minimized
by using wider traces or heavier trace plating and a 0.1µF
bypass capacitor placed between V
CC
and GND. A surge
suppressor at the input can also prevent damage from
voltage surges.

GATE Pin Voltage
A curve of gate drive vs V
CC
is shown in Figure 13. The
GATE pin is clamped to a maximum voltage of 18V above
the input voltage. At minimum input supply voltage of 9V,
the minimum gate drive voltage is 4.5V. When the input
supply voltage is higher than 20V, the gate drive voltage is
at least 10V and a regular N-FET can be used. In applica-
tions over a 9V to 24V range, a logic level N-FET must be
used with a proper protection Zener diode between its gate
and source (as D1 shown is Figure 5).

Layout Considerations
To achieve accurate current sensing, a Kelvin connection
is recommended. The minimum trace width for 1oz cop-
per foil is 0.02" per amp to make sure the trace stays at a
reasonable temperature. 0.03" per amp or wider is recom-
mended. Note that 1oz copper exhibits a sheet resistance
of about 530µ/. Small resistances add up quickly in
high current applications. To improve noise immunity, put
the resistor divider to the ON pin close to the chip and keep
traces to V
CC
and GND short. A 0.1µF capacitor from the
ON pin to GND also helps reject induced noise. Figure 14
shows a layout that addresses these issues.
