FeaTures DescripTion
Positive High Voltage
Hot Swap Controller with
I2C Compatible Monitoring
The LT C
®
4260 Hot Swap™ controller allows 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 an adjustable rate. An I2C
interface and onboard ADC allow monitoring of board
current, voltage and fault status.
The device features adjustable analog foldback current
limit with latch off or automatic restart after the LTC4260
remains in current limit beyond an adjustable time-out
delay.
The controller has additional features to interrupt the host
when a fault has occurred, notify when output power is
good, detect insertion of a load card and power-up in
either the on or off state.

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 device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to GND unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
Limits on maximum rating is defined as whichever limit occurs first.
An internal clamp limits the GATE pin to a minimum of 10V above source.
Driving this pin to voltages beyond the clamp may damage the device.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design and not subject to test.
Note 5: Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
precise analog input voltage. Maximum specifications are limited by the
LSB step size and the single shot measurement. Typical specifications are
measured from the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 areas of the quantization band.
Note 6: For the VDD-SENSE channel, full-scale is at code 255 but codes
above 200 may be discarded by offset cancellation. Full scale error and
total unadjusted error are evaluated over the 0-200 code range. Full scale
voltage corresponds to the theoretical code 255, and is extrapolated from
a code 200 measurement.

pin FuncTions
ADIN: ADC Input. A voltage between 0V and 2.56V applied
to this pin can be measured by the onboard ADC. Tie to
ground if unused.
ADR0 to ADR2: Serial Bus Address Inputs. Tying these
pins to ground, open or INTVCC configures one of 27 pos-
sible addresses. See Table 1 in Applications Information.
ALERT: Fault Alert Output. Open-drain logic output that can
be pulled to ground when a fault occurs to alert the host
controller. A fault alert is enabled by the ALERT register.
This device is compatible with SMBus alert protocol. See
Applications Information. Tie to ground if unused.
BD_PRST: Board Present Input. Ground this pin to en-
able the N-channel FET to turn on after 100ms debounce
delay. When this pin is high, the FET is off. An internal
10µA current source pulls up this pin. Transitions on this
pin will be recorded in the FAULT register. A high-to-low
transition activates the logic to read the state of the ON
pin and clear Faults. See Applications Information.
Exposed Pad (Pin 33, UH Package): Exposed pad may
be left open or connected to device ground.
FB: Foldback and Power Good Input. A resistive divider
from the output voltage is tied to this pin. When the
voltage at this pin drops below 3.41V, the output power
is considered bad and the current limit is reduced. The
power bad condition can be indicated with the GPIO pin
and a power bad fault can be logged in this condition. See
Applications Information.
GATE: Gate Drive for External N-Channel FET. An internal
18µA current source charges the gate of the external
N-channel MOSFET. A resistor and capacitor network from
this pin to ground sets the turn-on rate and compensates
the active current limit. During turn-off there is a 1mA
pull-down current. During a short circuit or undervoltage
lockout (VDD or INTVCC), a 600mA pull-down current
source between GATE and SOURCE is activated.
GND: Device Ground.
GPIO: General Purpose Input/Output. Open-drain logic
output and logic input. Defaults to pull low to indicate
power is bad. Configure according to Table 3.
INTVCC: Internal Low Voltage Supply Decoupling Output.
Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from this pin to ground. This
pin can be used to drive the other pins to logic high and
has an undervoltage lockout threshold of 3.8V.
NC: No Connect. Unconnected pins. These pins provide
extra distance between high and low voltage pins.
ON: On Control Input. A rising edge turns on the external
N-channel FET and a falling edge turns it off. This pin is
also used to configure the state of the FET ON bit (and
hence the external FET) at power up. For example if the
ON pin is tied high, then the FET ON control bit (A3) will
go high 100ms after power-up. Likewise if the ON pin is
tied low then the part will remain off after power-up until
the FET ON control bit is set high using the I2C bus. A
high-to-low transition on this pin will clear faults.
OV (GN/UH Packages): Overvoltage Comparator Input.
Connect this pin to an external resistive divider from VDD.
If the voltage at this pin rises above 3.5V, an overvoltage
fault is detected and the switch turns off. Tie to GND if
unused.
SCL: Serial Bus Clock Input. Data at the SDA pin is shifted
in or out on rising edges of SCL. This is a high impedance
pin that is generally driven by an open-collector output
from a master controller. An external pull-up resistor or
current source is required.
SDAI: Serial Bus Data Input. A high impedance input used
for shifting in address, command or data bits. Normally
tied to SDAO to form the SDA line.

SDAO: Serial Bus Data Output. Open-drain output used for
sending data back to the master controller or acknowledg-
ing a write operation. Normally tied to SDAI to form the
SDA line. An external pull-up resistor or current source
is required.
SENSE: Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to the out-
put of the current sense resistor. The current limit circuit
controls the GATE pin to limit the sense voltage between
the VDD and SENSE pins to 50mV or less depending on
the voltage at the FB pin. This pin is used as an input to
the 8-bit ADC.
SOURCE: N-Channel MOSFET Source Connection and
ADC Input. Connect this pin to the source of the external
N-channel MOSFET switch. This pin also serves as the
ADC input to monitor output voltage. The pin provides a
return for the gate pull-down circuit and as a supply for
the charge pump circuit.
TIMER:
Timer Input. Connect a capacitor between this pin
and ground to set a 12ms/µF duration for current limit
before the switch is turned off. The duration of the off
time is 518ms/µF when autoretry during current limit is
enabled. A minimum value of 0.1nF must be connected
to this pin.
UV: Undervoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin
to an external resistive divider from VDD. If the voltage
at this pin falls below 3.12V, an undervoltage fault is
detected and the switch turns off. Pulling this pin below
1.2V resets all faults and allows the switch to turn back
on. Tie to INTVCC if unused.
VDD: Supply Voltage and Current Sense Input. This pin
has an undervoltage lockout threshold of 7.45V.
VDDK (UH Package): Same as VDD. Connect this pin to
VDD. VDDK tied to VDD internally with 18Ω.

operaTion
The Functional Diagram displays the main functional areas
of this device. The LTC4260 is designed to turn a board’s
supply voltage on and off in a controlled manner, allowing
the board to be safely inserted or removed from a live
backplane. During normal operation, the charge pump
and gate driver turn on the external N-channel pass FET’s
gate to pass power to the load. The gate driver uses a
charge pump that derives its power from the SOURCE pin.
When the SOURCE pin is at ground, the charge pump is
powered from an internal 12V supply derived from VDD.
This results in a 200µA current load on the SOURCE pin
when the gate is up. Also included in the gate driver is an
internal 15V gate-to-source clamp.
The current sense (CS) amplifier monitors the load cur-
rent using the difference between the VDD and SENSE pin
voltage. The CS amplifier limits the current in the load by
reducing the GATE-to-SOURCE voltage in an active control
loop. The CS amplifier requires 100µA input bias current
from both the VDD and the SENSE pins.
A short circuit on the output to ground causes significant
power dissipation during active current limiting. To limit
this power, the foldback amplifier reduces the current limit
value from 50mV to 20mV (referred to the VDD minus
SENSE voltage) in a linear manner as the FB pin drops
below 2V (see Typical Performance curves).
If an overcurrent condition persists, the TIMER pin ramps
up with a 100µA current source until the pin voltage
exceeds 1.2V (comparator TM2). This indicates to the
logic that it is time to turn off the pass FET to prevent
overheating. At this point the TIMER pin ramps down us-
ing the 2µA current source until the voltage drops below

0.2V (comparator TM1) which tells the logic that the pass
transistor has cooled and it is safe to turn it on again.
The output voltage is monitored using the FB pin and the
PG comparator to determine if the power is available for
the load. The power good condition is signalled by the
GPIO pin using an open-drain pull-down transistor. The
GPIO pin can also be used as a general purpose input (GP
comparator) or output pin.
The Functional Diagram shows the monitoring blocks of
the LTC4260. The group of comparators on the left side
includes the UV, OV, RST, BP and ON comparators. These
comparators are used to determine if the external condi-
tions are valid prior to turning on the FET. But first the
two undervoltage lockout circuits UVLO1 and UVLO2 must
validate the input supply and the internally generated 5.5V
supply (INTVCC) and generate the power up initialization
to the logic circuits.
Included in the LTC4260 is an 8-bit A/D converter. The
converter has a 3-input mux to select between the ADIN
pin, the SOURCE pin and the VDD – SENSE voltage.
An I2C interface is provided to read the A/D registers. It also
allows the host to poll the device and determine if faults
have occurred. If the ALERT line is used as an interrupt,
the host can respond to a fault in real time. The typical SDA
line is divided into an SDAI (input) and SDAO (output).
This simplifies applications using an optoisolator driven
directly from the SDAO output. The I2C device address is
decoded using the ADR0, ADR1 and ADR2 pins. These
inputs have three states each that decode into a total of
27 device addresses.

The typical LTC4260 application is in a high availability
system that uses a positive voltage supply to distribute
power to individual cards. The device measures card
voltages and currents and records past and present fault
conditions. The system queries each LTC4260 over the
I2C periodically and reads the stored information.
The basic LTC4260 application circuit is shown in Figure 1.
External component selection is discussed in detail in the
Design Example section.
Turn-On Sequence
The power supply on a board is controlled by placing
an external N-channel pass transistor (Q1) in the power
path. Note that sense resistor (RS) detects current and
capacitor C1 controls the GATE slew rate. Resistor R6
compensates the current control loop while R5 prevents
high frequency oscillations in Q1. Resistors R1, R2 and
R3 provide undervoltage and overvoltage sensing.
Several conditions must be present before the external
switch can be turned on. First the external supply VDD must
exceed its undervoltage lockout level. Next the internally
generated supply INTVCC must cross its 4.5V undervoltage
threshold. This generates a 60µs to 120µs power-on-reset
pulse. During reset the fault registers are cleared and the
applicaTions inForMaTion
control registers are set or cleared as described in the
register section.
After the power-on-reset pulse, the LTC4260 will go
through the following turn-on sequence. First, the UV and
OV pins must indicate that the input power is within the
acceptable range and the BDPRST pin must be pulled
low. All of these conditions must be satisfied for dura-
tion of 100ms to ensure that any contact bounce during
insertion has ended.
When these initial conditions are satisfied, the ON pin is
checked. If it is high, the external switch turns on. If it
is low, the external switch turns on when the ON pin is
brought high or if a serial bus turn-on command is received.
The switch is turned on by charging up the GATE with a
18µA current source (Figure 2). The voltage at the GATE
pin rises with a slope equal to 18µA/C1 and the supply
inrush current is set at:
IINRUSH =CL
C1 •18µA
When the GATE voltage reaches the FET threshold volt-
age, the switch begins to turn on and the SOURCE voltage
follows the GATE voltage as it increases.

As the SOURCE voltage rises, so will the FB pin which
is monitoring it. If the voltage across the current sense
resistor RS gets too high, the inrush current will then be
limited by the internal current limit circuitry. Once the FB
pin crosses its 3.5V threshold, the GPIO pin, in its default
configuration, will cease to pull low and indicate that the
power is now good.
Turn-Off Sequence
The switch can be turned off by a variety of conditions.
A normal turn-off is initiated by the ON pin going low or
a serial bus turn-off command. Additionally, several fault
conditions will turn off the switch. These include an input
overvoltage (OV pin), input undervoltage (UV pin), over-
current circuit breaker (SENSE pin) or BDPRST going
high. Writing a logic one into the UV, OV or overcurrent
fault bits will also turn off the switch if their autoretry bits
are set to false.
Normally the switch is turned off with a 1mA current pulling
down the GATE pin to ground. With the switch turned off,
the SOURCE voltage drops and when the FB pin crosses
below its threshold, GPIO pulls low to indicate that the
output power is no longer good.
If the VDD pin falls below 7.5V for greater than 5µs or INTVCC
drops below 3.8V for greater than 1µs, a fast shutdown of
the switch is initiated. The GATE pin is pulled down with
a 600mA current to the SOURCE pin.

Overcurrent Fault
The LTC4260 features an adjustable current limit with fold-
back that protects against short circuits or excessive load
current. To protect against excessive power dissipation in
the switch during active current limit, the available current
is reduced as a function of the output voltage sensed by
the FB pin. The device also features a variable overcurrent
response time. A graph in the Typical Performance curves
shows the delay from a voltage step at the SENSE pin until
the GATE voltage starts falling, as a function of overdrive.
An overcurrent fault occurs when the current limit circuitry
has been engaged for longer than the time-out delay set by
the TIMER pin. Current limiting begins when the current
sense voltage between the VDD and SENSE pins reaches
20mV to 50mV (depending on the foldback). The GATE
pin is then brought down with a 600mA GATE-to-SOURCE
current. The voltage on the GATE is regulated in order
to limit the current sense voltage to less than 50mV. At
this point, a circuit breaker time delay starts by charging
the external timing capacitor from the TIMER pin with a
100µA pull-up current. If the TIMER pin reaches its 1.2V
threshold, the external switch turns off (with a 1mA cur-
rent from GATE to ground). The overcurrent present bit,
C2, and the overcurrent fault bit, D2, are set at this time.
The circuit breaker time delay is given by:
tCB = CT • 12 [ms/µF]
After the switch is turned off, the TIMER pin begins
discharging the timing capacitor with a 2µA pull-down
current. When the TIMER pin reaches its 0.2V threshold,
the overcurrent present bit, C2, is cleared, and the switch
will be allowed to turn on again if the overcurrent fault has
been cleared. However, if the overcurrent autoretry bit, A2,
has been set then the switch turns on again automatically
(without resetting the overcurrent fault). Use a minimum
value of 0.1nF for CT.
The waveform in Figure 3 shows how the output latches
off following a short circuit. The drop across the sense
resistor is held at 20mV as the timer ramps up.
LTC4260

4260fc

During a short circuit, if the current limit sense voltage
exceeds 150mV, the active current limit enters a high cur-
rent protection mode that immediately turns off the output
transistor by pulling the GATE-to-SOURCE voltage to zero.
Current in the output transistor drops from tens of amps
to zero in a few hundred nanoseconds. The input voltage
will drop during the high current and then spike upwards
due to parasitic inductances when the FET shuts off (see
Supply Transients). Following this event, the part may turn
on again after a delay (typically the 100ms normal turn-on
delay if the input voltage drops below the UVLO threshold)
and enters active current limit before shutting off.
Overvoltage Fault
An overvoltage fault occurs when the OV pin rises above
its 3.5V threshold. This shuts off the switch immediately
(with a 1mA current from GATE to ground) and sets the
overvoltage present bit, C0, and the overvoltage fault
bit D0. If the OV pin subsequently falls back below the
threshold for 100ms, the switch will be allowed to turn on
again unless the overvoltage autoretry has been disabled
by clearing bit A0.
Undervoltage Fault
An undervoltage fault occurs when the UV pin falls below
its 3.12V threshold. This turns off the switch immediately
(with a 1mA current from GATE to ground) and sets the
undervoltage present bit, C1, and the undervoltage fault
bit D1. If the UV pin subsequently rises above the thresh-
old for 100ms, the switch will turn on again unless the

undervoltage autoretry has been disabled by clearing bit
A1. When power is applied to the device, if UV is below its
3.12V threshold after INTVCC crosses its 4.5V undervoltage
lockout threshold, an undervoltage fault will be logged in
the fault register.
Board Present Change of State
Whenever the BDPRST pin toggles, bit D4 is set to
indicate a change of state. When the BDPRST pin goes
high, indicating board removal, the switch turns off im-
mediately (with a 1mA current from GATE to ground) and
clears the board present bit, C4. If the BDPRST pin is
pulled low, indicating a board insertion, all fault bits except
D4 will be cleared and the board present bit, C4, is set. If
the BDPRST pin remains low for 100ms the state of the
ON pin will be captured in the FET On Control bit A3. This
turns the switch on if the ON pin is tied high. There is an
internal 10µA pull-up current source on the BDPRST pin.
If the system shuts down due to a fault, it may be desirable
to restart the system simply by removing and reinserting
a load card. In cases where the LTC4260 and the switch
reside on a backplane or midplane and the load resides
on a plug-in card, the BDPRST pin can be used to detect
when the plug-in card is removed (see Figure 4). Once
the plug-in card is reinserted the fault register is cleared
(except for D4). After 100ms the state of the ON pin is
latched into bit A3 of the control register. At this point the
system will start up again.
If a connection sense on the plug-in card is driving the
BDPRST
pin, the insertion or removal of the card may
cause the pin voltage to bounce. This will result in clear-
ing the fault register when the card is removed. The pin
can be debounced using a filter capacitor, C
BDPRST
, on
the
BDPRST
pin as shown in Figure 4. The filter time
is given by:
tFILTER =
C
BDPRST • 123 [ms/µF]
FET Short Fault
A FET short fault will be reported if the data converter
measures a current sense voltage greater than or equal
to 2mV while the FET is turned off. This condition sets the
FET short present bit, C5, and the FET short fault bit D5.

Power Bad Present/Power Bad Fault
When the FB pin drops below its 3.41V threshold the
power bad present bit, C3, goes high. This pulls the GPIO
pin low immediately when configured as PWRGD. If the
FB pin subsequently rises back above the threshold, the
GPIO pin will return to a high impedance state and bit C3
will be cleared.
The power bad fault bit, D3, is set when the GATE-to-
SOURCE voltage is high and the power bad present C3
bit is high. This blanking with the gate voltage prevents
false power bad faults during power-up or power-down.
Fault Alerts
When any of the fault bits in FAULT register D are set,
an optional I2C bus alert can be generated by setting the
appropriate bit in the ALERT register B. This allows only
selected faults to generate alerts. At power-up the default
state is to not alert on faults. If an alert is enabled, the cor-
responding fault will cause the ALERT pin to pull low. After
the bus master controller broadcasts the Alert Response
Address, the LTC4260 responds with its address on the
SDA line and releases ALERT as shown in Figure 11. If
there is a collision between two LTC4260s responding
with their addresses simultaneously, then the device with
the lower address wins arbitration and responds first. The
ALERT line will also be released if the device is addressed
by the bus master.

Once the ALERT signal has been released for one fault,
it will not be pulled low again until the FAULT register
indicates a different fault has occurred or the original
fault is cleared and it occurs again. Note that this means
repeated or continuing faults will not generate alerts until
the associated FAULT register bit has been cleared.
Resetting Faults
Faults are reset with any of the following conditions. First,
a serial bus command writing zeros to the FAULT register
D will clear the associated faults. Second, the entire FAULT
register is cleared when the switch is turned off by either
the ON pin or bit A3 going from high to low, or if the UV
pin is brought below its 1.23V reset threshold, or if INTVCC
falls below its 3.8V undervoltage lockout threshold. Finally,
when BDPRST is brought from high to low, only FAULT
bits D0-D3 and D5 are cleared, the bit D4 that indicates a
BDPRST change of state will be set. Faults that are still
present (as indicated in the STATUS Register C) cannot
be cleared.
The FAULT register will not be cleared when autoretrying.
When autoretry is disabled the existence of a D0, D1 or D2
fault keeps the switch off. As soon as the fault is cleared,
the switch will turn on. If autoretry is enabled, then a high
value in C0, C1 or C2 will hold the switch off and the FAULT
register is ignored. Subsequently, when the C0, C1 and
C2 bits are cleared, the switch is allowed to turn on again.
Data Converter
The LTC4260 incorporates an 8-bit data converter that
continuously monitors three different voltages. The Δ∑
architecture inherently averages signal noise during the
measurement period. The SOURCE pin uses a 1/40 resis-
tive divider to monitor a full-scale voltage of 102.4V with
0.4V resolution (divider converts 102.4V to 2.56V). The
ADIN pin is monitored with a 2.56V full scale and 10mV
resolution, and the voltage between the VDD and SENSE
pins is monitored with a 76.8mV full scale and 300µV
resolution.
The results from each conversion are stored in registers
E, F and G and are updated 10 times per second. Setting
CONTROL register bit A5 invokes a test mode that halts
the data converter updates so that registers E, F and G
can be written to and read from for software testing.

Gate Pin Voltage
A curve of gate drive vs VDD is shown in the Typical Per-
formance curves. At the minimum input supply voltage
of 8.5V, the minimum gate drive voltage is 4.5V. When
the input supply voltage is higher than 20V, the gate
drive is at least 10V and a regular N-FET can be used. In
applications over a 8.5V to 20V range, a logic level N-FET
must be used to maintain adequate gate enhancement.
The GATE pin is clamped at a typical value of 15V above
the SOURCE pin.
Configuring the GPIO Pin
Table 3 describes the possible states of the GPIO pin us-
ing the control register bits A6 and A7. At power-up, the
default state is for the GPIO pin to go high impedance
when power is good (FB pin greater than 3.5V). Other uses
for the GPIO pin are to pull down when power is good,
a general purpose output and a general purpose input.
Compensating the Active Current Loop
The active current limit circuit is compensated using the
resistor R6 and the slew rate capacitor C1. The value for
C1 is calculated to limit the inrush current. The suggested
value for R6 is 100k. This value should work for most pass
FETs (Q1). If the gate capacitance of Q1 is very small then
the best method to compensate the loop is to add a ≈10nF
capacitor between the GATE and SOURCE terminals.The
addition of 10Ω resistor (R5) prevents self-oscillation in
Q1 by isolating trace capacitance from the FET's GATE
Terminal. Locate the gate resistor at, or close to, the body
of the MOSFET.
Supply Transients
The LTC4260 is designed to ride through supply transients
caused by load steps. If there is a shorted load and the
parasitic inductance back to the supply is greater than
0.5µH, there is a chance that the supply could collapse
before the active current limit circuit brings down the
GATE pin. In this case the undervoltage monitors turn
off the pass FET. The undervoltage lockout circuit has a
5µs filter time after VDD drops below 7.5V. The UV pin
reacts in 2µs to shut the GATE off, but it is recommended
to add a filter capacitor CF to prevent unwanted shutdown
caused by short transient. Eventually either the UV pin or
the undervoltage lockout responds to bring the current
under control before the supply completely collapses.
Supply T
ransient Protection
The LTC4260 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 inductance should be minimized by using
wider traces or heavier trace plating. Adding a snubber
circuit will dampen the voltage spikes. It is built using a
100Ω resistor in series with a 0.1µF capacitor between
VDD and GND. A surge suppressor, Z1 in Figure 1, at the
input will clamp the voltage spikes.
Design Example
As a design example, take the following specifications:
VIN = 48V, IMAX = 5A, IINRUSH = 1A, CL= 330µF, VUVON
= 43V, VUVOFF = 38.5V, VOVOFF = 70V, VPWRGDUP = 46V,
VPWRGDDN = 45V and I2CADDRESS = 1010011. The selec-
tion of the sense resistor, RS, is set by the overcurrent
threshold of 50mV:
RS=50mV
IMAX
=50mV
5A =0.010Ω
The FET should be sized to handle the power dissipation
during the inrush charging of the output capacitor COUT.
The method used to determine the power is the principle:
EC = Energy in CL= Energy in Q1
Thus:
EC = 1/2 CV2 = 1/2(0.33mF)(48V)2 = 0.38J

The SOA (safe operating area) curves of candidate FETs
must be evaluated to ensure that the heat capacity of the
package can stand 24W for 16ms. The SOA curves of the
Fairchild FDB3632 provide for 1A at 50V (50W) for 10ms,
satisfying the requirement.

Default values of R5 = 10Ω and R6 = 100k are chosen as

The power dissipated in the FET during overcurrent must
be limited. The active current limit uses a timer to prevent
excessive energy dissipation in the FET. The worst-case
power occurs when the voltage versus current profile of
the foldback current limit is at the maximum. This occurs
when the current is 5A and the voltage is 1/2 of the 48V
or 24V. See the Current Limit Sense Voltage vs FB Voltage
in the Typical Performance curves to view this profile. In
order to survive 120W, the FET SOA curve dictates the
maximum time at this power level. This particular FET
allows 300W at 1ms or less. Therefore, it is acceptable
to set the current limit timeout using CT to be 0.81ms:
CT=0.81ms
12 ms/µF
[ ]
=68nF
Note the minimum value for CT is 0.1nF.
Choose R1, R2, R3, R7 and R8 for the UV, OV and PG
threshold voltages:
VOVRISING = 71.2V, VOVFALLING = 69.44V (using VOV(TH) =
3.5V rising and 3.41V falling)
VUVRISING = 43V, VUVFALLING = 38.5V, (using VUV(TH) =
3.5V rising and 3.12V falling)
VPGRISING = 46.14V, VPGFALLING = 45V, (using VFB = 3.5V
rising and 3.411V falling)
In addition a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor is placed on
the INTVCC pin. The complete circuit is shown in Figure 1.
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. Using 0.03” per amp or wider
is recommended. Note that 1oz copper exhibits a sheet
resistance of about 530µΩ/square. Small resistances add
up quickly in high current applications. To improve noise
immunity, put the resistive divider to the UV, OV and FB
pins close to the device and keep traces to VDD and GND
short. It is also important to put C3, the bypass capacitor
for the INTVCC pin, as close as possible between INTVCC
and GND. A 0.1µF capacitor from the UV pin (and OV pin
through resistor R2) to GND also helps reject supply noise.
Figure 5 shows a layout that addresses these issues. Note
that a surge suppressor, Z1, is placed between supply and
ground using wide traces.

Digital Interface
The LTC4260 communicates with a bus master using
a 2-wire interface compatible with the I2C bus and the
SMBus, an I2C extension for low power devices.
The LTC4260 is a read-write slave device and supports
SMBus bus Read Byte, Write Byte, Read Word and Write
Word commands. The second word in a Read Word com-
mand will be identical to the first word. The second word
in a Write Word command is ignored. The data formats
for these commands are shown in Figures 6 to 10.
Using Optoisolators with SDA
The LTC4260 separates the SDA line into SDAI and SDAO.
If optoisolators are not used then tie SDAI and SDAO
together to construct a normal SDA line. When using
optoisolators connect the SDAI to the output of the incom-
ing opto and connect the SDAO to the input of the out-
going opto (see Figure 13).
START and STOP Conditions
When the bus is idle, both SCL and SDA must be high
(Figure 6). A bus master signals the beginning of a
transmission with a START condition by transitioning SDA
from high to low while SCL is high. When the master has
finished communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP
condition by transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL
is high. The bus is then free for another transmission.
I2C Device Addressing
Twenty-seven distinct bus address are configurable us-
ing the three-state ADR0-ADR2 pins. Table 1 shows the
correspondence between pin states and addresses. Note
that address bits B7 and B6 are internally configured to
10. In addition, the LTC4260 will respond to two special
addresses. Address (1011 111)b is a mass write used to
write to all LTC4260, regardless of their individual address
settings. The mass write can be masked by setting register
bit A4 to zero. Address (0001 100)b is the SMBus Alert
Response Address. If the LTC4260 is pulling low on the
ALERT pin, it will acknowledge this address using the
SMBus Alert Response Protocol.
applicaTions inForMaTion
Acknowledge
The acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between
the transmitter and the receiver to indicate that the last byte
of data was received. The transmitter always releases the
SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse. When the
slave is the receiver, it must pull down the SDA line so that
it remains LOW during this pulse to acknowledge receipt
of the data. If the slave fails to acknowledge by leaving
SDA HIGH, then the master can abort the transmission by
generating a STOP condition. When the master is receiving
data from the slave, the master must pull down the SDA
line during the clock pulse to indicate receipt of the data.
After the last byte has been received the master will leave
the SDA line HIGH (not acknowledge) and issue a STOP
condition to terminate the transmission.
Write Protocol
The master begins communication with a START condition
followed by the seven bit slave address and the R/W bit set
to zero (Figure 7). The addressed LTC4260 acknowledges
this and then the master sends a command byte which
indicates which internal register the master wishes to write.
The LTC4260 acknowledges this and then latches the lower
three bits of the command byte into its internal Register
Address pointer. The master then delivers the data byte
and the LTC4260 acknowledges once more and latches the
data into its internal register. The transmission is ended
when the master sends a STOP condition. If the master
continues sending a second data byte, as in a Write Word
command, the second data byte will be acknowledged by
the LTC4260 but ignored (Figure 8).
Read Protocol
The master begins a read operation with a START condition
followed by the seven bit slave address and the R/W bit set
to zero (Figure 9). The addressed LTC4260 acknowledges
this and then the master sends a command byte that in-
dicates which internal register the master wishes to read.
The LTC4260 acknowledges this and then latches the lower
three bits of the command byte into its internal Register
Address pointer. The master then sends a repeated START
condition followed by the same seven bit address with the
LTC4260
19
4260fc
For more information www.linear.com/LTC4260
applicaTions inForMaTion
R/W bit now set to one. The LTC4260 acknowledges and
sends the contents of the requested register. The transmis-
sion is ended when the master sends a STOP condition.
If the master acknowledges the transmitted data byte, as
in a Read Word command (Figure 12), the LTC4260 will
repeat the requested register as the second data byte.
Note that the Register Address pointer is not cleared at
the end of the transaction. Thus the Receive Byte protocol
can be used to repeatedly read a specific register.
Alert Response Protocol
The LTC4260 implements the SMBus Alert Response Pro-
tocol as shown in Figure 11. If enabled to do so through
the ALERT register B, the LTC4260 will respond to faults
by pulling the ALERT pin low. Multiple LTC4260s can
share a common ALERT line and the protocol allows a
master to determine which LTC4260s are pulling the line
low. The master begins by sending a START bit followed
by the special Alert Response Address (0001 100)b with
the R/W bit set to one. Any LTC4260 that is pulling its
ALERT pin low will acknowledge and begin sending back
its individual slave address.
An arbitration scheme ensures that the LTC4260 with the
lowest address will have priority; all others will abort their
response. The successful responder will then release its
ALERT pin while any others will continue to hold their
ALERT pins low. Polling may also be used to search for
any LTC4260 that have detected faults. Any LTC4260 pull-
ing its ALERT pin low will also release it if it is individually
addressed during a read or write transaction.
The ALERT signal will not be pulled low again until the
FAULT register indicates a different fault has occurred or the
original fault is cleared and it occurs again. Note that this
means repeated or continuing faults will not generate alerts
until the associated FAULT register bit has been cleared.
