DescripTion
The LTC®4252 negative voltage Hot SwapTM controller
allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a
livebackplane.Outputcurrentiscontrolledbythreestages

n
Programmable Timer with Drain Voltage
Adjustable undervoltage and overvoltage detectors dis-
connect the load whenever the input supply exceeds the
desired operating range. The LTC4252’s supply input is
shunt regulated, allowing safe operation with very high
supply voltages. A multifunction timer delays initial start-
up and controls the circuit breaker’s response time. The
circuit breaker’s response time is accelerated by sensing
excessive MOSFET drain voltage, keeping the MOSFET
within its safe operating area (SOA). An adjustable soft-
start circuit controls MOSFET inrush current at start-up.

When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, the

damages the connector pins and glitches the power bus,
causing other boards in the system to reset. The LTC4252

Two modes of operation are possible during the time the
MOSFET is first turning on, depending on the values of
externalcomponents,MOSFETcharacteristicsandnominal
designcurrent.OnepossibilityisthattheMOSFETwillturn
on gradually so that the inrush into the load capacitance
remains a low value. The output will simply ramp to –48V
and the LTC4252 will fully enhance the MOSFET. A second
possibility is that the load current exceeds the soft-start

TIMER pull-up current is increased by 8 • I . Note that

S
the LTC4252 will ramp the output by sourcing soft-start
limited current into the load capacitance. If the soft-start
voltage is below 1.2V, the circuit breaker TIMER is held
low. Above 1.2V, TIMER ramps up. It is important to set
the timer delay so that, regardless of which start-up mode
is used, the TIMER ramp is less than one circuit breaker
delay time. If this condition is not met, the LTC4252-1 may
shut down after one circuit breaker delay time whereas
the LTC4252-2 may continue to autoretry.
because SENSE > 50mV, TIMER charges C during this
T
time and the LTC4252 will eventually shut down.
Low impedance failures on the load side of the LTC4252
coupled with 48V or more driving potential can produce
current slew rates well in excess of 50A/µs. Under these
conditions, overshoot is inevitable. A fast SENSE com-
parator with a threshold of 200mV detects overshoot and
pulls GATE low much harder and hence much faster than
the weaker current limit loop. The V /R current limit

The conventional diode-OR method uses two high power

of the diodes. With the LTC4252 controlling the external

The internal fault latches of the LTC4252 are disabled as
the TIMER pin is always held low by the SS voltage when
Q2 and Q3 are in analog current limit.
the current flow. The sense voltage is lifted up and causes
the fast comparator of LTC4252 to trip and pull the GATE
low instantly. The channel A supply short will not cause
Q3 of channel B diode-OR circuit to turn off.
If both power supplies from channel A and B are exactly
equal, then equal load current will flow through Q2 and
Q3 to the load module via the Hot Swap section.
Similarly, when the channel B supply is shorted to the
–48V RTN (or GND), large current flows into Q7 momen-
tarily and creates a voltage drop across R7, which in turn
reduces the gate-to-source voltage of Q7, thus limiting
the current flow. The increase in sense voltage will trip
the fast comparator of LTC4252 and pull the GATE low
instantly. The channel B supply short will not cause Q2
of channel A diode-OR circuit to turn off. The load short
at the output of Q1 is protected by the Hot Swap section.
If the channel A supply is greater than the channel B by
more than 100mV, the sense voltage will rise above the
fast comparator trip threshold of 200mV, the GATE will
be pulled low and Q2 is turned off. The GATE ramps up
and regulates Q2 when the channel A supply is equal to
the channel B supply. Likewise, if the channel B supply is
greater than channel A by more than 100mV, it trips the
fast comparator and GATE is pulled low and Q3 is turned
off.TheGATErampsupandregulatesQ3whenthechannel
B supply is equal to the channel A supply.
Using an EMI Filter Module
Many applications place an EMI filter module in the power
path to prevent switching noise of the module from being
injected back onto the power supply. A typical application
using the Lucent FLTR100V10 filter module is shown in
Figure 23. When using a filter, an optoisolator is required
to prevent common mode transients from destroying the
PWRGD and ON/OFF pins.
Resistors R4, R7 and external FETs Q4 and Q7 limit the
current flow into Q5 and Q8 during their respective sup-
ply source short. When the channel A supply is shorted
to the –48V RTN (or GND), large current flows into Q4
momentarily and creates a voltage drop across R4, which
in turn reduces the gate-to-source voltage of Q4, limiting
