19-3320; Rev 1; 1/05 -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection The MAX5938 is a hot-swap controller for -10V to -80V rails. The MAX5938 allows circuit line cards to be safely hot-plugged into a live backplane without causing a glitch on the power supply. It integrates an adjustable circuit-breaker function requiring no RSENSE. The MAX5938 provides a controlled turn-on for circuit cards, which limits inrush current and prevents both glitches on the power-supply rail and damage to board connectors and components. Before startup, the MAX5938 performs a Load ProbeTM test to detect the presence of a short-circuit condition. If a short-circuit condition does not exist, the device limits the inrush current drawn by the load by gradually turning on the external MOSFET. Once the external MOSFET is fully enhanced, the MAX5938 provides overcurrent and shortcircuit protection by monitoring the voltage drop across the R DS(ON) of the external power MOSFET. The MAX5938 integrates a 400mA fast GATE pulldown to guarantee that the external MOSFET is rapidly turned off in the event of an overcurrent or short-circuit condition. The MAX5938 also protects the system against input voltage (VIN) steps. During an input voltage step, the device limits the current drawn by the load to a safe level without shutting down the load. The device also includes ON/OFF control, selectable PGOOD output polarity, undervoltage (UV) and overvoltage (OV) protection. The device offers latched (MAX5938L) or autoretry (MAX5938A) fault management. Both the MAX5938A and MAX5938L are available in a 16-pin QSOP package and are specified for the extended (-40C to +85C) temperature range.

Detailed Description The MAX5938 hot-swap controller incorporates overcurrent and overvoltage fault management and is intended for negative-supply-rail applications. The MAX5938 eliminates the need for an external R SENSE and includes VIN input step protection and load probe, which prevents powering up into a shorted load. It is intended for negative 48V telecom power systems where low cost, flexibility, multifault management, and compact size are required. The MAX5938 is ideal for the widest range of systems from those requiring low current with small MOSFETs to high-current systems requiring large power MOSFETs and low on-resistance. The MAX5938 controls an external n-channel power MOSFET placed in the negative supply path of an external load. When no power is applied, the GATE output of the MAX5938 clamps the VGS of the MOSFET to 2V keeping the MOSFET turned off (Figure 2). When power is applied to the MAX5938, the 2V clamp at the GATE output is replaced by a strong pulldown device, which pulls GATE to VEE and the VGS of the MOSFET to 0. As shown in Figure 2, this transition enables the MAX5938 to keep the power MOSFET continually off during the board insertion phase when the circuit board first makes contact with the backplane. Without this clamp, the GATE output of a powered-down controller would be floating and the MOSFET reverse transfer _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX5938 Pin Description MAX5938 -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection GND RLOAD CLOAD PGOOD GND PG MAX5938 PGOOD LOGIC VOUT 10V REG AND 5V REG BANDGAP REF +10V +5V VSC, VCB, AND 75% OF VCB COMPARATORS 50A TEMP COMPENSATED CURRENT SOURCE RINT 2k VBG (1.25V) OFF ON OV ON, OFF, AND OV LOGIC CONTROL OV FAULT DETECTION 52A CB_ADJ 2V AND 15V CLAMP STEP 10A GATE CONTROL GATE STEP_MON SEQUENCER CONTROLLER TIMER VBG POL_SEL PGOOD POLARITY LOGIC LP PG LOAD-PROBE TEST VEE VEE Figure 1. Functional Diagram capacitance (gate-to-drain) would pull up and turn on the MOSFET gate when the MOSFET drain is rapidly pulled up by the VIN step during backplane contact. The MAX5938 GATE clamp can overcome the gate-todrain capacitance of large power MOSFETs with added slew-rate control (CSLEW) capacitors while eliminating the need for additional gate-to-source capacitance. The MAX5938 keeps the MOSFET off indefinitely if the supply voltage is below the user-set ON and OFF thresholds, if the supply voltage is above the user-set overvoltage (OV) threshold, or if a short circuit (userdefined) is detected in the load connected to the drain of the power MOSFET. 8 The MAX5938 conducts a load-probe test after contact transients from the hot plug-in have settled. This follows the MAX5938 power-up (when the ON, OFF, and OV conditions have been met for 220ms (tLP)) and prior to the turn-on of the power MOSFET. This test pulls a userprogrammable current through the load (1A, max) for up to 220ms (tLP) and tests for a voltage of 200mV across the load at VOUT (Figure 3). This current is set by an external resistor, RLP (Figure 17) between VOUT and LP. When the voltage across the load exceeds 200mV, the test is truncated and the GATE turn-on sequence is started. If at the end of the 200ms (tLP) test period the voltage across the load has not reached 200mV, the load is assumed to be shorted and the current to the load from _______________________________________________________________________________________ -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection CLOAD = 100F RLP = 75k GND VIN 20V/div MAX5938 CIN = 100F VEE 20V/div GND VLP 20V/div VGATE 1V/div GND VOUT 200mV/div 40ms/div 4ms/div Figure 2.

MAX5938 Normal Startup (POL_SEL = Floating) Figure 5. MAX5938 Startup into Fault Condition (POL_SEL = Floating) LP is shut off. The MAX5938A times out for 16 x tLP then retry the load-probe test. The MAX5938L latches the fault condition indefinitely until ON and OFF are cycled low for 1.5ms or the power is recycled. See the Applications Information for recommendations on selecting RLP to set the load-probe current level. Upon successful completion of the load-probe test, the MAX5938 enters the power-up GATE cycle and begins ramping the GATE voltage with a 52A current source. This current source is restricted if VOUT begins to ramp down faster than the default 9V/ms slew rate. The VOUT slew rate can be reduced to below 9V/ms by adding C SLEW from GATE to V OUT . Charging up GATE enhances the power MOSFET in a controlled manner and ramping VOUT at a user-settable rate controls the inrush current from the backplane. The MAX5938 continues to charge up the GATE until one of two events occurs: a normal power-up GATE cycle is completed or a power-up-to-fault-management fault is detected (see the GATE Cycles section in Appendix A). In a normal power-up GATE cycle, the voltage at VOUT (referenced to VEE) ramps to below 74% of the programmed circuitbreaker threshold voltage, VCB. At this time, the remaining GATE voltage is rapidly pulled up to full enhancement. PGOOD is asserted 1.26ms after GATE is fully enhanced (see Figure 4). If the voltage at VOUT remains above 74% of the programmed V CB (when GATE reaches 90% of full enhancement), then a powerup-to-fault-management fault has occurred). GATE is rapidly pulled to VEE, turning off the power MOSFET and disconnecting the load. PGOOD remains deasserted and the MAX5938 enters the fault management mode (Figure 5). When the power MOSFET is fully enhanced, the MAX5938 monitors the drain voltage (VOUT) for circuitbreaker and short-circuit faults. The MAX5938 makes use of the power MOSFET's RDS(ON) as the currentsense resistance to detect excessive current through _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX5938 -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection the load. The short-circuit threshold voltage, V SC, is twice VCB (VSC = 2 x VCB) and is set by adjusting the resistance between CB_ADJ and VEE. There is an internal 2k precision-trimmed resistor and an internal 50A current source at CB_ADJ, which results in the minimum or default VSC of 100mV when CB_ADJ is connected to V EE . The current source is temperature compensated (increasing with temperature) to track the normalized temperature coefficient of RDS(ON) for typical power MOSFETs. When the load current is increased during full enhancement, this causes VOUT to exceed VCB but remains less than VSC, and starts the 1.2ms circuit-breaker glitch rejection timer. At the end of the glitch rejection period, if VOUT still exceeds VCB, the GATE is immediately pulled to VEE (330ns), PGOOD is deasserted, and the part enters fault management. Alternatively, during full enhancement when V OUT exceeds V SC, there is no glitch rejection timer. GATE is immediately pulled to VEE, PGOOD is deasserted, and the part enters fault management. The VIN step immunity provides a means for transitioning through a large step increase in VIN with minimal backplane inrush current and without shutting down the load. Without VIN step immunity (when the power MOSFET is fully enhanced), a step increase in VIN will result in a high inrush current and a large step in VOUT, which can trip the circuit breaker. With VIN step immunity, the STEP_MON input detects the step before a short circuit is detected at VOUT and alters the MAX5938 response to V OUT exceeding VSC due to the step. The 1.25V voltage threshold at STEP_MON and a 10A current source at STEP_MON VIN 5V/div VGATE 10V/div 40V allow the user to set the sensitivity of the step detection with an external resistor to VEE. A capacitor is placed between GND and the STEP_MON input, which in conjunction with the resistor, sets the STEP_MON time constant. When a step is detected by the STEP_MON input rising above its threshold (STEP TH ), the overcurrent fault management is blocked and remains blocked as long as STEPTH is exceeded. When STEPTH is exceeded, the MAX5938 takes no action until VOUT rises above VSC or above VCB for the 1.2ms circuit-breaker glitch rejection period. When either of these conditions occurs, a step GATE cycle begins and the GATE is immediately brought to VEE, which turns off the power MOSFET to minimize the resulting inrush current surge from the backplane. PGOOD remains asserted. GATE is held at VEE for 350s, and after about 1ms, begins to ramp up, enhancing the power MOSFET in a controlled manner as in the power-up GATE cycle. This provides a controlled inrush current to charge the load capacitance to the new supply voltage (see the GATE Cycles section in Appendix A). As in the case of the power-up GATE cycle, if VOUT drops to less than 74% of the programmed VCB, independent of the state of STEP_MON, the GATE voltage is rapidly pulled to full enhancement. PGOOD remains asserted throughout the step (Figure 6). Otherwise, if the STEP_MON input has decayed below its threshold but V OUT remains above 74% of the programmed V CB (when GATE reaches 90% of full enhancement), a stepto-fault-management fault has occurred. GATE is rapidly pulled to VEE, turning off the power MOSFET and disconnecting the load; PGOOD is deasserted and the MAX5938 enters the fault management mode (Figure 7). 40V VIN 20V/div 20V VGATE 10V/div VOUT 20V/div VOUT 50V/div VPGOOD 20V/div CLOAD = 100F RLOAD = 100 IIN 1A/div 2ms/div Figure 6.

Once in the fault management mode, GATE will always be pulled to VEE, which turns off the external MOSFET and always deasserts PGOOD. If CB_ADJ is left open, shortcircuit and circuit-breaker faults are ignored. The MAX5938A version has automatic retry following a fault while the MAX5938L remains latched in the fault condition. MAX5938 Fault Management Fault management can be triggered by the following conditions: ON R2 OV R1 VEE Autoretry Fault Management (MAX5938A) If the MAX5938A entered fault management due to an OV fault, it will start the autoretry timer when the OV fault is removed. For circuit-breaker and short-circuit faults, the autoretry timer starts immediately. The timer times out in 3.5s (typ) after which the sequencer initiates a load-probe test and if successful, initiates a normal power-up GATE cycle. Latched Fault Management (MAX5938L) When the MAX5938L enters fault management it remains in this condition indefinitely until the power is recycled or until OFF is brought below 1.25V (no time dependence) and ON is brought below 1.125V for 1.5ms (typ). In addition, if the MAX5938L enters fault management due to an overvoltage fault, the overvoltage fault must be removed. When the last of these conditions has been met, the sequencer initiates a loadprobe test and if successful, a normal power-up GATE cycle begins. A manual reset circuit as in Figure 2 can be used to clear the latch. Circuit-Breaker Threshold The MAX5938 has a minimum circuit-breaker threshold voltage of 50mV when CB_ADJ is connected to VEE. The VCB is half VSC and can be increased by placing a resistor between CB_ADJ and VEE according to the following: VCB(mV) = 1/2 x VSC (mV) = 1/2 x ICB_ADJ(A) Figure 8. Resetting the MAX5938L after a Fault Condition Using a Push-Button Switch where ICB_ADJ = 50A (typ at +25C), RINT is an internal precision, 0.5%, 2k resistor at CB_ADJ and RCB_ADJ is the external resistor between CB_ADJ and VEE. The current source ICB_ADJ is temperature-compensated (increasing with temperature) to track the normalized temperature coefficient of typical power MOSFETs. The proper circuit-breaker threshold for an application depends on the RDS(ON) of the external power MOSFET and the maximum current the load is expected to draw. To avoid false fault indication and dropping of the load, the designer must take into account the load response to voltage ripples and noise from the backplane power supply as well as switching currents in the downstream DCDC converter that is loading the circuit. While the circuit-breaker threshold has glitch rejection that ignores ripples and noise lasting less than 1.2ms, the short-circuit detection is designed to respond very quickly (less than 330ns) to a short circuit. For this reason, set VSC and VCB with an adequate margin to cover all possible ripples, noise, and system current transients (see the Setting the Circuit-Breaker and Short-Circuit Thresholds section in the Applications Information). x [RINT(k) + RCB_ADJ(k)] ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX5938 -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection Disabling Circuit-Breaker and Short-Circuit Functions In the MAX5938, the circuit-breaker and short-circuit functions can be disabled, if desired, although this is not recommended. (See Warning note in the PGOOD Open-Drain Output section). This can be accomplished by leaving CB_ADJ open. In this case, PGOOD asserts 1.26ms after GATE has ramped to 90% of full enhancement, after which VOUT is ignored, resulting in the circuit-breaker and short-circuit faults being ignored. VOFF_REF OFF VON_REF,R ON 220ms PGOOD Open-Drain Output The power-good output, PGOOD, is open drain and is referenced to V OUT . It asserts and latches if V OUT ramps below 74% of VCB, and with the built-in delay, this occurs 1.26ms after the external MOSFET becomes fully enhanced. PGOOD deasserts any time the part enters fault management. PGOOD has a delayed response to ON and OFF. The GATE will go to V EE when OFF is brought below 1.25V (no time dependence) while ON is brought below 1.125V for 1.5ms. This turns off the power MOSFET and allows VOUT to rise depending on the RC time constant of the load. PGOOD, in this situation, deasserts when VOUT rises above V CB for more than 1.4ms or above V SC , whichever occurs first (see Figure 9b). Since PGOOD is open drain, it requires an external pullup resistor to GND. Due to this external pullup, PGOOD does not follow positive VIN steps as well as if it were driven by an active pullup. As a result, when PGOOD is asserted high, an apparent negative glitch appears at PGOOD during a positive V IN step. This negative glitch is a result of the RC time constant of the external resistor and the PGOOD pin capacitance lagging the VIN step. It is not due to switching of the internal logic. To minimize this negative transient, it may be necessary to increase the pullup current and/or to add a small amount of capacitance from PGOOD to GND to compensate for the pin capacitance. The PGOOD output logic polarity is selected using POL_SEL input. For an active-high output, connect POL_SEL to VEE. Leave POL_SEL open for an activelow output. WARNING: When disabling the circuit-breaker and short-circuit functions (CB_ADJ open), PGOOD asserts 1.26ms after the power MOSFET is fully enhanced independent of VOUT. Once the MOSFET is fully enhanced and ON and OFF are pulled below their respective thresholds, the GATE will be pulled to VEE to turn off the power MOSFET and disconnect the load. When the cir- 12 LOAD-PROBE DETECTION TEST BEGINS ILP (a) OFF VOFF_REF ON 1.3ms VON_REF,F GATE VOUT PGOOD (b) Figure 9. ON and OFF Timing Diagram cuit-breaker and short-circuit functions are disabled and ON and OFF are cycled low, PGOOD is deasserted. In summary, when CB_ADJ is open (once the MOSFET is fully enhanced), the MAX5938 ignores VOUT and deasserts PGOOD only for an overvoltage fault, when ON and OFF are cycled low or when the power to the MAX5938 is fully recycled. ______________________________________________________________________________________ -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection Output Voltage (VOUT) Slew-Rate Control OV, ON, and OFF provide an accurate means to set the overvoltage, turn-on, and turn-off voltage levels. All three are high-impedance inputs and by use of a 4-element resistor-divider from GND to VEE, the user can set an upper VEE threshold for triggering an overvoltage fault, a middle threshold for turning the part on, and a lower threshold for turning the part off. The input voltage threshold at OFF is 1.25V. ON has hysteresis with a rising threshold of 1.25V and a falling threshold of 1.125V. The logic of the inputs is such that both OFF and ON must be above their thresholds to latch the part on. Both OFF and ON must be below their respective thresholds to latch the part off, otherwise the part stays in its current state. There is glitch rejection on the ON input going low, which additionally requires that ON remain below its falling threshold for 1.5ms to turn off the part. A startup delay of 220ms allows contacts and voltages to settle prior to initiating the startup sequence. This startup delay is from a valid ON condition until the start of the load-probe test. The OV input has hysteresis with a rising threshold of 1.25V and a falling threshold of 1.125V. The OV input also has a rising fault transient delay of 1.5ms. When OV rises above its threshold, an OV GATE cycle is immediately initiated (see the GATE Cycles section in Appendix A). The GATE output is brought to VEE with about 300ns of propagation delay. If the OV input drops below its falling threshold before the fault transient delay of about 1.5ms, the device will not enter fault management mode and the GATE output will ramp up to fully enhance the external MOSFET (Figure 10). Otherwise, an OV fault occurs (Figure 11). See the Setting ON, OFF, and OV Voltage Levels section in the Applications Information. The VOUT slew rate controls the inrush current required to charge the load capacitor. The MAX5938 has a default internal slew rate set for 9V/ms. The internal circuit establishing this slew rate accommodates up to about 1000pF of reverse transfer capacitance (Miller Capacitance) in the external power MOSFET without effecting the default slew rate. Using the default slew rate, the inrush current required to charge the load capacitance is given by: IINRUSH (mA) = CLOAD (F) x SR (V/ms) where SR = 9V/ms (default, typ). VIN 10V/div 48V The slew rate can be reduced by adding an external slew-rate control capacitor (C SLEW) from V OUT (the drain of the power MOSFET) to the GATE output of the MAX5938 (Figure 19). Values of CSLEW < 4700pF have little effect on the slew rate because of the default slewrate control circuit. For CSLEW > 4700pF, the combination of CSLEW and reverse transfer capacitance of the external power MOSFET dominate the slew rate. When CSLEW > 4700pF, SR and CSLEW are inversely related as follows (Figure 18): SR (V/ms) = 23 / CSLEW (nF) If the reverse transfer capacitance of the external power MOSFET is large compared to the externally added CSLEW, then it should be added to CSLEW in the equation above. See the Adjusting the VOUT Slew Rate section in the Applications Information and Figure 18, which graphically displays the relation between C SLEW and slew rate. This section discusses specific recommendations for compensating power MOSFET parasitics that may lead to oscillation when an external CSLEW is added.

Total resistance is a trade off of quiescent current, threshold tolerance due to pin input bias current (25nA), and the ability to follow very fast supply transients. Both ON and OV have hysteresis on the reference threshold voltage: the rising reference threshold is 1.25V and the falling threshold is 1.125V. The reference threshold voltage for OFF is 1.25V. In determining a set of resistors, use V REF = 1.25V for ON, OFF, and OV and an RTOT = 100k in this example. See Figure 12 for nomenclature. For this example, use VOV = 80V, VON = 42V, and VOFF = 38V as the desired voltage trip levels.

When converted to the nearest 1% standard resistor, the values become R1 = 97.6k, R2 = 316, R3 = 1.40k, and R4 = 1.58k. Figure 12.

The voltage tolerance does not account for the tolerance of the resistors. Setting the Circuit-Breaker and Short-Circuit Thresholds The MAX5938 can operate with a wide range of power MOSFETs to meet the requirements of almost any application. MOSFETs mentioned here are done to demonstrate certain capabilities and features of the MAX5938. They should not be construed as a recommendation or a limitation of the interoperability of the MAX5938. In the implementation of the circuit-breaker and shortcircuit functions, the MAX5938 eliminates the need for an external current-sense resistor at the source of the power MOSFET. As in any other hot-swap controller, the proper circuit-breaker threshold for an application must take into account the DC level of VOUT, while at the same time accommodating the AC response of VOUT to the modulation of VIN. The AC response from VIN to VOUT is dependent on the parasitics of the load, especially the load capacitor, in conjunction with the RDS(ON) of the power MOSFET. It behaves as a highly dampened second-order system. As such, this system functions as a bandpass filter from V IN to VOUT. The response of VOUT to load-switching currents and voltage ripple and noise from the backplane power supply must be taken into account. Adequate margin must be provided between VCB, VSC, and the DC level of VOUT, which depends on the RDS(ON) of the power MOSFET (with VGS at 10V) and the maximum current the load is expected to draw. While the circuit-breaker threshold has glitch rejection for VOUT excursions lasting less than 1.4ms, the short-circuit detection is designed to respond very quickly (less than 330ns) to a short circuit. In the application, select a value for R CB_ADJ resulting in a VCB that exceeds the product of RDS(ON) and the maximum load current plus one half the peakto-peak AC response of VOUT to load-switching currents and the noise and ripple at VIN: RDS(ON) () x ILOAD,MAX(mA) + 1/2 x VOUTAC < VCB(mV) where VCB(mV) = 1/2 x ICB_ADJ(A) x [RINT(k) + RCB_ADJ(k)] RDS(ON) in a power MOSFET has a positive temperature coefficient and the MAX5938, when placed adjacent to the power MOSFET, tracks and compensates for this temperature coefficient. In the MAX5938, VCB is half of VSC, which is set by placing an external resistance between CB_ADJ and V EE . The minimum (default) short-circuit threshold voltage, VSC, is set by an internal 2k precision-trimmed (0.5%) resistor providing a minimum series resistance and a temperaturecompensated 50A (+25C) current source. When CB_ADJ is connected to VEE this gives a 50mV circuitbreaker threshold. When an external resistor, RCB_ADJ, is placed between CB_ADJ and VEE, the new circuitbreaker threshold becomes: VCB (mV) = 1/2 x VSC (mV) = 1/2 x ICB_ADJ (A) x (2k + RCB_ADJ) and at +25C, it becomes: VCB (mV) = 1/2VSC (mV) = 1/2 x 50A x (2k + RCB_ADJ) The short-circuit and circuit-breaker voltages are sensed at VOUT, which is the drain of the power MOSFET. The RDS(ON) of the MOSFET is the current-sense resistance and so the total current through the load and load capacitance is the drain current of the power MOSFET. Accordingly, the voltage at V OUT as a function of MOSFET drain current is: VOUT = ID,MOSFET x RDS(ON) The temperature compensation of the MAX5938 is designed to track the RDS(ON) of the typical power MOSFET. Figure 14 shows the typical normalized tempco of the circuit-breaker threshold along with the normalized tempco of RDS(ON) for several typical power MOSFETS. When determining the circuit-breaker threshold in an application go to the power MOSFET manufacturer's data sheet and locate the maximum RDS(ON) at +25C with a VGS of 10V. Next, find the figure presenting the tempco of normalized RDS(ON) or on-resistance vs. temperature. Since this curve is in ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 MAX5938 Determine the trip voltages these values will actually yield for rising and falling voltages. Rising voltages use the VREF = 1.25V reference threshold, while falling voltages use VLO = 1.125V reference threshold. normalized units, typically with a value of 1 at +25C, it is possible to multiply the curve by the drain voltage at +25C and convert the curve to drain voltage. Now compare this curve to that of the MAX5938 normalized tempco of the circuit-breaker threshold to make a determination of the tracking error in mV between the power MOSFET [I D,MOSFET x R DS(ON) ] and the MAX5938 [ICB_ADJ (A) x (2k + RCB_ADJ)] over the operating temperature range of the application. If the tempco of the power MOSFET is greater than the MAX5938's, then additional margin in setting the circuitbreaker and short-circuit voltages will be required at higher temperatures as compared to +25C (Figure 15).

MAX5938 Normalized Circuit Breaker conditions, it becomes imperative that the MAX5938 be located as close as possible to the power MOSFET. The marginal effect of temperature differences on circuitbreaker and short-circuit voltages can be estimated from a comparative plot such as Figure 14. Selecting a Resistor and Capacitor for Step Monitor When a positive V IN step or ramp occurs, the V IN increase results in a voltage rise at both STEP_MON and V OUT relative to V EE . When the voltage at STEP_MON is above STEPTH , the MAX5938 blocks short-circuit and circuit-breaker faults. During this STEP_MON high condition, if VOUT rises above VSC, the MAX5938 will immediately and very rapidly pull GATE to VEE. This turns off the power MOSFET to avoid inrush current spiking. GATE is held low for 350s. About 1ms after the start of GATE pulldown, the MAX5938 begins to ramp GATE up to turn on the MOSFET in a controlled manner that results in ramping VOUT down to the new supply level (see the GATE Cycles section in Appendix A). This occurs with the least possible disturbance to VOUT, although during the brief period that the MOSFET is off, the voltage across the load droops slightly depending on the load current and load storage capacitance. PGOOD remains asserted throughout the VIN step event. The objective in selecting the resistor and capacitor for the step monitor function is to ensure that the VIN steps of all anticipated slopes and magnitudes will be properly detected and blocked, which otherwise would result in a circuit-breaker or short-circuit fault. The following is a brief analysis for finding the resistor and capacitor. For a more complete analysis, see Appendix B.

Figure 16. MAX5938 Step Immunity Functional Diagram Figure 16 is a functional diagram exhibiting the elements of the MAX5938 involved in the step immunity function. This functional diagram shows the parallel relationship between VOUT and VSTEP-MON. Each has an I*R component establishing the DC level prior to a step. While it is referred to as a VIN step, it is the dynamic response to a finite voltage ramp that is of interest. Given a positive VIN ramp with a ramp rate of dV/dt, the approximate response of VOUT to VIN is: VOUT(t) = (dV/dt) x C x (1-e(-t / L,eqv) ) + RDS(ON) ILOAD where C = CLOAD x RDS(ON) and L,eqv is the equivalent time constant of the load that must be found empirically (see Appendix B). Similarly, the response of STEP_MON to a VIN ramp is: VSTEP_MON(t) = (dV/dt) x STEP x (1-e(-t / STEP) ) + 10A x RSTEP where STEP = RSTEP_MON x CSTEP_MON. For proper step detection, V STEP_MON must exceed STEPTH prior to VOUT reaching VSC or within 1.4ms of VOUT reaching VCB (over all VIN ramp rates anticipated in the application). VSTEP_MON must be set below STEPTH with an adequate margin, VSTEP_MON, to accommodate the tolerance of both ISTEP_OS (8%) and RSTEP_MON. R STEP_MON is typically set to 100k, which gives a VSTEP_MON for a worst-case high of 0.36V. The margin of VOUT, with respect to VSC and VCB, was set when RCB_ADJ was selected as described in the Setting the Circuit-Breaker and Short-Circuit Thresholds section. This margin may be lower at one of the temperature extremes and if so, that value should be used in the following discussion. These margins will be called VCB and VSC and they represent the minimum VOUT excursion required to trip the respective fault. To set STEP to block all VCB and VSC faults for any ramp rate, find the ratio of VSTEP_MON to VCB and choose STEP so: STEP = 1.2 x C x VSTEP_MON / VCB And since R STEP_MON = 100k. This results in CSTEP_MON = STEP / 100k. After the first-pass component selection, if sufficient timing margin exists (see Appendix B), it is possible but not necessary to lower RSTEP_MON below 100k to reduce the sensitivity of STEP_MON to VIN noise. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX5938 -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection GND MAX5938 200mV LOAD OK TIMING LOGIC VIN Q1 LP VEE GATE VOUT ILOAD ITEST RLP CLOAD LOAD RON Figure 17. Load Probe Functional Diagram Appendix B gives a more complete analysis and discussion of the step monitor function. It provides methods for the characterization of the load response to a VIN ramp and graphical verification of the step monitor timing margins for a set of design parameters. Selecting the PGOOD Pullup Resistor Due to the open-drain driver, PGOOD requires an external pullup resistor to GND. This resistor should be selected to minimize the current load while PGOOD is low. The PGOOD output specification for VOL is 0.4V at 1mA. As described in the Detailed Description, the external pullup interferes with the ability of PGOOD to follow positive VIN steps as well as if it were driven by an active pullup. When PGOOD is asserted high, an apparent negative glitch appears at PGOOD during a positive VIN step. To minimize this negative transient it may be necessary to increase the pullup current and/or to add a small amount of capacitance from PGOOD to GND to compensate for the pin capacitance. Setting the Test Current Level for Load-Probe Test The load-probe test is a current test of the load that avoids turning on the power MOSFET. The MAX5938 has an internal switch (Q1 in Figure 17) that pulls current through the load and through an external current18 limiting resistor, RLP . During the test, this switch is pulsed on for up to 220ms (typ). Current is pulled through the load, which should charge up the load capacitance unless there is a short. If the voltage across the load exceeds 200mV, the test is truncated and normal power-up is allowed to proceed. If the voltage across the load does not reach 200mV in the 220ms period that the current is on, the load is assumed to be shorted and the current to the load from LP is shut off. The MAX5938A will timeout for 16 x tLP then retry the load-probe test. The MAX5938L will latch the fault condition indefinitely until ON and OFF are cycled low for 1.5ms or the power is recycled. In the application, the current-limiting resistor should be selected to minimize the current pulled through the load while guaranteeing that it will charge the maximum expected load capacitance to 220mV in 90ms. These parameters are the maximum load-probe test voltage and the minimum load-probe current pulse period, respectively. The maximum current possible is 1A, which is adequate to test a load capacitance as large as 190,000F over the typical telecom operating voltage range. ITEST (A) = CLOAD,MAX (F) x 220mV / 90ms ______________________________________________________________________________________ -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection SLEW RATE vs. CSLEW SLEW RATE (V/ms) 10 RLP = 36V x 90ms / (10,000F x 220mV) = 1.472 1.47k 1% Next, evaluate the RLP at the maximum operating voltage to verify that it will not exceed the 1A current limit for the load-probe test. ITEST,MAX = VIN,MAX / RLP = 72V / 1.47k = 49.0mA If the CLOAD(MAX) is increased to 190,000F, the test current will approach the limit. In this case, RLP will be a much lower value and must include the internal switch resistance. To find the external series resistor value that will guarantee a successful test at the lowest supply voltage, the maximum value for the load-probe switch on-resistance of 11 should be used: RLP,TOT = 36V x 90ms / (190,000F x 220mV) = 90 = 11 + RLP 1 0.1 0.01 1 0.1 10 100 1000 CSLEW (nF) Figure 18.

In this case, the minimum value for the load-probe switch on-resistance of 6 should be used: ITEST,MAX = VIN,MAX / RLP,TOT = 72V / (66.5 + 6) = 993mA Adjusting the VOUT Slew Rate The default slew rate is set internally for 9V/ms. The slew rate can be reduced by placing an external capacitor from the drain of the power MOSFET to the GATE output of the MAX5938. Figure 18 shows a graph of Slew Rate vs. CSLEW. This graph shows that for CSLEW < 4700pF there is very little effect to the addition of external slewrate control capacitance. This is intended so the GATE output can drive large MOSFETs with significant gate capacitance and still achieve the default slew rate. To select a slew-rate control capacitor, go into the graph with the desired slew rate and find the value of the Miller Capacitance. When CSLEW > 4700pF, SR and CSLEW are inversely related. Given the desired slew rate, the required CSLEW is found as follows: CSLEW(nF) = 23 / SR (V/ms) MAX5938 Since the minimum intended VIN for the application will result in the lowest ITEST during the load-probe test, this VIN,MIN should be used to set the RLP. This voltage will likely be near VON,FALLING or VOFF for the application. RTEST() = VIN,MIN / ITEST = VIN,MIN x 90ms / (CLOAD(MAX) x 220mV) Example: VIN operating range = 36V to 72V, CLOAD = 10,000F. First, find the RLP that will guarantee a successful test of the load. VOUT VEE GATE CSLEW RGATE -48V Figure 19. Adjusting the MAX5938 Slew Rate From the data sheet of the power MOSFET find the reverse transfer capacitance (gate-to-drain capacitance) above 10V. If the reverse transfer capacitance of the external power MOSFET is 5% or more of CSLEW, then it should be subtracted from CSLEW in the equation above. Figure 19 gives an example of the external circuit for controlling slew rate. Depending on the parasitics associated with the selected power MOSFET, the addition of CSLEW may lead to oscillation while the MOSFET and GATE con- ______________________________________________________________________________________ 19 MAX5938 -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection trol are in the linear range. If this is an issue, an external resistor, RGATE, in series with gate of the MOSFET is recommended to prevent possible oscillation. It should be as small as possible, e.g., 5 to 10, to avoid impacting the MOSFET turn-off performance of the MAX5938. BACKPLANE 48V PLUG-IN CARD 1k Layout Guidelines To benefit from the temperature compensation designed into the MAX5938, the part should be placed as close as possible to the power MOSFET that it is controlling. The VEE pin of the MAX5938 should be placed close to the source pin of the power MOSFET and they should share a wide trace. A common top layer plane would service both the thermal and electrical requirements. The loadprobe current must be taken into account. If this current is high, the layout traces and current-limiting resistor must be sized appropriately. Stray inductance must be minimized in the traces of the overall layout of the hotswap controller, the power MOSFET and the load capacitor. Starting from the board contacts, all high-current traces should be short, wide, and direct. The potentially high pulse current pins of the MAX5938 are GATE (when pulling GATE low), load probe, and VEE. Because of the nature of the hot-swap requirement no decoupling capacitor is recommended for the MAX5938. Because there is no decoupling capacitor, stray inductance may result in excessive ringing at the GND pin during powerup or during very rapid VIN steps. This should be examined in every application design since ringing at the GND pin may exceed the absolute maximum supply rating for the part. 0.1F 100k GND 0.1F 1F OFF ON PGOOD OV STEP_MON VEE Figure 20. Protecting the MAX5938 Input from High-Voltage Transients Appendix A GATE Cycles The power-up GATE cycle, step GATE cycle, and the OV GATE cycle are quite similar but have distinct differences. Understanding these differences may clarify application issues. 1) Minimize stray inductance in the power path using wide traces and minimize loop area including the power traces and the return ground path. GATE Cycle During Power-Up The power-up GATE cycle occurs during the initial power-up of the MAX5938 and the associated power MOSFET and load. The power-up GATE cycle can result in full enhancement or in a fault (all voltages are relative to VEE). Power-Up-to-Full-Enhancement Fault: 1) At the beginning of the power-up sequence to the start of the power-up GATE cycle, the GATE is held at VEE. Following a successful completion of the load-probe test, GATE is held at VEE for an additional 350s and then is allowed to float for 650s. At this point, the GATE begins to ramp with 52A charging the gate of the power MOSFET. [GATE turn-on] 2) Add a high-frequency (ceramic) bypass capacitor on the backplane as close as possible to the plugin connector (Figure 20). 2) When GATE reaches the gate threshold voltage of the power MOSFET, VOUT begins to ramp down toward VEE. [VOUT ramp] 3) Add a 1k resistor in series with the MAX5938's GND pin and a 0.1F capacitor from GND to VEE to limit transient current going into this pin. 3) When VOUT ramps below 74% VCB, the GATE is rapidly pulled to full enhancement and the powerup GATE cycle is complete. 1.26ms after GATE is pulled to full enhancement, PGOOD asserts. [Full enhancement] Input Transient Protection During hot plug-in/unplug and fast VIN steps, stray inductance in the power path may cause voltage ringing above the normal input DC value, which may exceed the absolute maximum supply rating. An input transient such as that caused by lightning can also put a severe transient peak voltage on the input rail. The following techniques are recommended to reduce the effect of transients: 20 ______________________________________________________________________________________ -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection Step-to-Fault-Management Fault: 1) Same as step 1 above. [Step detection] 2) Same as step 2 above. [VOUT ramp] 2) Same as step 2 above. [GATE pulldown] 3) GATE ramps to 90% of full enhancement while VOUT remains above 74% VCB, at which point the GATE is rapidly pulled to VEE and fault management is initiated. [Fault management] 3) Same as step 3 above. [GATE turn-on] GATE Cycle During VIN Step A step GATE cycle occurs only after a successful power-up GATE cycle to full enhancement occurs and as a result of a positive V IN step (all voltages are relative to VEE). Step-to-Full-Enhancement Fault: 1) A VIN step occurs resulting in STEP_MON rising above STEPTH before VOUT rises above VSC. [Step detection] 2) After a step is detected, VOUT rises above VSC in response to the step. When VOUT rises above VSC, GATE is immediately pulled to VEE, rapidly turning off the power MOSFET. GATE is held at V EE for 350s to damp any ringing. Once GATE is pulled to VEE, the gate cycle has begun and STEP_MON can safely drop below STEPTH and successfully complete a step GATE cycle to full enhancement without initiating fault management. [GATE pulldown] 3) Following the 350s of GATE pulldown, GATE is allowed to float for 650s. At this point, the GATE begins to ramp with 52A charging the gate of the power MOSFET. [GATE turn-on] 4) When GATE reaches the gate threshold voltage of the power MOSFET, VOUT begins to ramp down toward the new lower VEE. In the interval where GATE is below the MOSFET threshold, the MOSFET is off and VOUT will droop depending on the RC time constant of the load. [VOUT ramp] 5) When VOUT ramps below 74% VCB, the GATE pulls rapidly to full enhancement and the step GATE cycle is complete. If STEP_MON remains above STEP TH when GATE has ramped to 90% of full enhancement and VOUT remains above 74% of VCB, GATE remains at 90% and is not pulled to full enhancement. In this condition, if VOUT drops below 74% of V CB before STEP_MON drops below STEPTH, GATE is rapidly pulled to full enhancement and the step GATE cycle is complete. PGOOD remains asserted throughout the step GATE cycle. [Full enhancement] 4) Same as step 4 above. [VOUT ramp] 5) If STEP_MON is below STEPTH when GATE ramps to 90% of full enhancement and V OUT remains above 74% V CB, GATE is rapidly pulled to V EE. Fault management is initiated and PGOOD is deasserted. If STEP_MON is above STEP TH when GATE ramps to 90% of full enhancement and VOUT remains above 74% of VCB, GATE remains at 90%. It is not pulled to full enhancement nor is it pulled to VEE. In this condition, if VOUT drops below 74% of V CB before STEP_MON drops below STEP TH , GATE is rapidly pulled to full enhancement and a fault is avoided. Conversely, if STEP_MON drops below STEPTH first, the GATE is rapidly pulled to VEE, fault management is initiated, and PGOOD is deasserted. [Fault management] It should be emphasized that while STEP_MON remains above STEP TH the current fault management is blocked. During this time it is possible for there to be multiple events involving VOUT rising above VSC then falling below 74% VCB. In each of these events, when VOUT rises above VSC, a full GATE cycle is initiated where GATE is first pulled low then allowed to ramp up. Then finally, when VOUT conditions are met, it will be fully enhanced. GATE Cycle During Momentary Overvoltage An OV GATE cycle occurs only after a successful power-up GATE cycle to full enhancement and as a result of a momentary excursion of OV above the OV threshold voltage. An OV GATE cycle does not result in an OV fault unless OV remains above the threshold for more than 1.5ms (all voltages are relative to VEE). OV GATE Cycle to Full enhancement: 1) When OV rises above the OV threshold voltage, GATE is immediately pulled to VEE, rapidly turning off the power MOSFET. GATE is held at VEE indefinitely while OV is above the OV threshold voltage. It is held for an additional 350s to damp any ringing. [GATE pulldown] 2) Following the GATE pulldown, GATE is allowed to float for 650s. At this point, the GATE begins to ramp with 52A charging the gate of the power MOSFET.

[Fault management] GATE Output GATE is a complex output structure and its condition at any moment is dependent on various timing sequences in response to multiple inputs. A diode to VEE prevents negative excursions. For positive excursions, the states are: 1) Power-off with 2V clamp. 2) 8 pulldown to VEE. a. Continuous during startup delay and during fault conditions. b. Pulsed following detected step or OV condition. 3) Floating with 16V clamp [prior to GATE ramp]. 4) 52A current source with 16V clamp [GATE ramp]. 5) Pullup to internal 10V supply with 16V clamp [full enhancement]. Appendix B Step Monitor Component Selection Analysis As mentioned previously in the Setting the CircuitBreaker and Short-Circuit Thresholds section, the AC response from VIN to VOUT is dependent on the parasitics of the load. This is especially true for the load capacitor in conjunction with the power MOSFET's RDS(ON). The load capacitor (with parasitic ESR and LSR) and the power MOSFET's RDS(ON) can be modeled as a heavily damped second-order system. As such, this system functions as a bandpass filter from 22 VIN to VOUT limiting the ability of VOUT to follow the VIN ramp. STEP_MON lags the VIN ramp with a first-order RC response, while V OUT lags with an overdamped second-order response. Given a positive VIN ramp with a ramp rate of dV/dt, the approximate response of VOUT to VIN is: VOUT(t) = (dV/dt) x C x (1-e(-t / L,eqv) ) + RDS(ON) x ILOAD (Equation 1) where C = CLOAD x RDS(ON). Equation 1 is a simplification for the overdampened second-order response of the load to a ramp input, C = CLOAD x RDS(ON) and corresponds to the ability of the load capacitor to transfer dV/dt current to the fully enhanced power MOSFET's RDS(ON). The equivalent time constant of the load (L,eqv) accounts for the parasitic series inductance and resistance of the capacitor and board interconnect. To characterize the load dynamic response to V IN ramps, determine L,eqv empirically with a few tests. Similarly, the response of STEP_MON to a VIN ramp is: VSTEP_MON(t) = (dV/dt) x STEP x (1-e(-t / STEP) ) + 10A x RSTEP_MON (Equation 2) where STEP = RSTEP_MON x CSTEP_MON. For proper step detection, VSTEP_MON must exceed STEPTH prior to VOUT reaching VSC or within 1.4ms of VOUT reaching VCB (or overall VIN ramp rates anticipated in the application). It is impossible to give a fixed set of design guidelines that rigidly apply over the wide array of applications using the MAX5938. There are, however, limiting conditions and recommendations that should be observed. One limiting condition that must be observed is to ensure that the STEP_MON time constant, STEP, is not so low that at the lowest ramp rate, the anticipated STEP TH cannot be obtained. The product (dV/dt) x STEP = STEP_MON,MAX, is the maximum differential voltage at STEP_MON if the VIN ramp were to continue indefinitely. A related condition is setting the STEP_MON voltage below STEPTH with adequate margin, VSTEP_MON, to accommodate the tolerance of both ISTEP_OS (8%) and RSTEP_MON. In determining STEP_MON, use the 9.2A limit to ensure sufficient margin with worst-case ISTEP_OS. The margin of VOUT (with respect to VSC and VCB) is set when R CB_ADJ is selected as described in the Setting the Circuit-Breaker and Short-Circuit Thresholds section. This margin may be lower at one of the temperature extremes and if so, that value should be used in the following discussion. These margins will be called ______________________________________________________________________________________ -48V Hot-Swap Controller with VIN Step Immunity, No RSENSE, and Overvoltage Protection VIN VIN = GND = VEE LEQU LOAD CAPACITOR WITH PARASITICS VIN RAMP where ILOAD is a function of the VOUT level that should be determined separately with DC tests.

General Response of VOUT to a VIN Ramp VOUT RESPONSE TO VIN RAMP OF 300V/ms 2.7 2.4 dVIN dt 2.1 VOLTAGES (V) It is prudent to verify conclusively that all circuit-breaker and short-circuit faults will be blocked for all ramp rates. To do this, some form of graphical analysis is recommended but first, find the value of L,eqv of the load by a series of ramp tests as indicated earlier. These tests include evaluating the load with a series of VIN ramps of increasing ramp rates and monitoring the rate of rise of VOUT during the ramp. Each VIN ramp should have a constant slope. The VOUT response data must be taken only during the positive ramp. Data taken after VIN has leveled off at the new higher value must not be used. Figure 21 shows the load in parallel with the load capacitor, CLOAD, and the parallel connection in series with the power MOSFET, which is fully enhanced with VGS = 10V. The objective is to determine L,eqv from the VOUT response. Figure 22 shows the general response of VOUT to a VIN ramp over time t. Equation 1 gives the response of VOUT to a ramp of dV/dt. The product (dV/dt) x C = VOUT(max) or the maximum VOUT voltage differential if the VIN ramp were to continue indefinitely. The parameter of interest is VOUT due to the ramp dV/dt, thus it is necessary to subtract the DC shift in VOUT due to the load resistance. For some loads, which are relatively independent of supply voltage, this may be insignificant. VOUT(t) = VOUT(t) - RDS(ON) x ILOAD LOAD REQV and since RSTEP_MON = 100k: CSTEP_MON = STEP / RSTEP_MON = STEP / 100k After the first-pass component selection, if sufficient timing margin exists, it is possible (but not necessary) to lower RSTEP below 100k to reduce the sensitivity of STEP_MON to VIN noise. MAX5938 VCB and VSC and they represent the minimum VOUT excursion required to trip the respective fault. RSTEP_MON will typically be set to 100k 1%. This gives a V STEP_MON of 0.25V, a worst-case low of 0.13V, and a worst-case high of 0.37V. In finding STEP in the equation below, use V STEP_MON = 0.37V to ensure sufficient margin with worst-case ISTEP_OS. To set STEP to block all VCB and VSC faults for any ramp rate, find the ratio of VSTEP_MON to VCB and choose STEP so: STEP = 1.2 x C x VSTEP_MON / VCB A B 1.8 1.5 1.2 0.9 C D tCB tSTEP tSC 0.6 E F 0.3 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 TIME (s) A = VIN (GND - VEE) B = VSTEP_MON C = VOUT D = VSTEP,TH E = VCB F = VSC Figure 23. VOUT Response to VIN Ramp of 300V/ms ______________________________________________________________________________________ 23 At any time (t) the VOUT fraction of VOUT(max) is: VOUT(t) / [(dV/dt) x C] = (1-e(-t / L,eqv)) If VOUT(t) is measured at time t, then the equivalent time constant of the load is found from: L,eqv = -t / ln(1 - VOUT / [(dV/dt) x C]) As mentioned earlier, several measurements of VOUT at times t1, t2, t3, and t4 should be made during the ramp. Each of these may result in slightly different values of L,eqv and all values should then be averaged. In making the measurements, the VIN ramp duration should be such that VOUT reaches 2 or 3 times the selected VSC. The ramp tests should include three ramp rates: VSC / C, 2 x VSC / C, and 4 x VSC / C. The values of L,eqv may vary over the range of slew rates due to measurement error, nonlinear dynamics in the load, and due to the fact that Equation 1 is a simplification from a higher order dynamic system. The resulting range of L,eqv values should be used to validate the performance of the final design. Having C, L,eqv, RSTEP, and CSTEP in a graphical analysis using Equation 1 and Equation 2 can verify the step monitor function by displaying the relative timing of tCB, tSTEP, and tSC, which are the times when VCB, VSTEP_MON, and VSC voltage thresholds are exceeded. A simple Excel spreadsheet for this purpose can be supplied by Maxim upon request. Figures 23, 24, and 25 graphically verify a particular solution over 3 decades of VIN ramp rates. In addition, Figure 25 verifies that this solution will block all circuit-breaker and short-circuit faults for even the lowest VIN ramp that will cause VOUT to exceed VCB.
