19-4200; Rev 0; 7/08 Low-Voltage, Triple, Hot-Swap Controllers/ Power Sequencers/Voltage Trackers The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B +1V to +15V triple hot-swap controllers provide complete protection for multisupply systems. They allow the safe insertion and removal of circuit cards into live backplanes. These devices hot swap multiple supplies ranging from +1V to +15V, provided one supply is at or above +2.7V. The input voltage rails (channels) can be configured to sequentially turn-on/off, track each other, or have completely independent operation. The discharged filter capacitors of the circuit card provide low impedance to the live backplane. High inrush currents from the backplane to the circuit card can burn up connectors and components, or momentarily collapse the backplane power supply leading to a system reset. The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B hot-swap controllers prevent such problems by gradually ramping up the output voltage and regulating the current to a preset limit when the board is plugged in, allowing the system to stabilize safely. After the startup cycle is complete, on-chip comparators provide VariableSpeed/BiLevelTM protection against short-circuit and overcurrent faults, and provide immunity against system noise and load transients. The load is disconnected in the event of a fault condition. The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B fault-management mode is selectable, allowing latched fault or autoretry after a fault condition. The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B offer a variety of options to reduce external component count and design time. All devices integrate an on-board charge pump to drive the gates of low-cost, external n-channel MOSFETs, an adjustable startup timer, and an adjustable current limit. The devices offer integrated features like startup current regulation and current glitch protection to eliminate external timing resistors and capacitors. The MAX5931A provides an opendrain, active-low status output for each channel, the MAX5931B provides an open-drain, active-high status output for each channel, and the MAX5930A status output polarity is selectable. The MAX5930A is available in a 24-pin QSOP package, and the MAX5931A/MAX5931B are available in a 20-pin QSOP package. All devices are specified over the extended -40C to +85C temperature range.

See the Mode section. Mode Configuration Input. Mode is configured according to Table 1 as soon as one of the IN_ voltages exceeds UVLO and before turning on OUT_ (see the Mode section). Detailed Description The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B are circuitbreaker ICs for hot-swap applications where a line card is inserted into a live backplane. The MAX5931A/ MAX5931B operate down to 1V provided one of the inputs is above 2.7V. Normally, when a line card is plugged into a live backplane, the card's discharged filter capacitors provide low impedance that can momentarily cause the main power supply to collapse. The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B reside either on the backplane or on the removable card to provide inrush current limiting and short-circuit protection. This is achieved by using external n-channel MOSFETs, external current-sense resistors, and on-chip comparators. The startup period and current-limit threshold of the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B can be adjusted with external resistors. Figure 1 shows the MAX5930A/ MAX5931A/MAX5931B functional diagram. The MAX5930A offers three programmable current limits, selectable fault-management mode, and selectable STAT_ output polarity. The MAX5930A features fixed current limits, selectable fault-management mode, and fixed STAT_ output polarity. Mode The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B support three modes of operation: voltage-tracking, power-sequencing, and independent mode. Select the appropriate mode according to Table 1. Voltage-Tracking Mode Connect MODE high to enter voltage-tracking mode. While in voltage-tracking mode, all channels turn on and off together. To turn all channels on: * At least one VIN_ must exceed VUVLO (2.45V) for the UVLO to startup delay (37.5ms). * All VIN_ must exceed VPWRRDY (0.95V). * All VON_ must exceed VON,TH (0.875V). * No faults may be present on any channel. The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B turn off all channels if any of the above conditions are not met. After a fault-latched shutdown, cycle any of the ON_ pins to unlatch and restart all channels. Power-Sequencing Mode Leave MODE unconnected to enter power-sequencing mode. While in power-sequencing mode, the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B turn on and off each channel depending on the state of the corresponding VON_. To turn on a given channel: * At least one VIN_ must exceed VUVLO (2.45V) for the UVLO to startup delay (37.5ms). * All VIN_ must exceed VPWRRDY (0.95V). * The corresponding V ON_ must exceed V ON,TH (0.875V). * No faults may be present on any channel. The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B turn off all channels if any of the above conditions are not met. After a fault-latched shutdown, cycle any of the ON_ inputs to unlatch and restart all channels, dependent on the corresponding VON_ state. Independent Mode Connect MODE to GND to enter independent mode. While in independent mode the MAX5930A/ MAX5931A/MAX5931B provide complete independent control for each channel. To turn on a given channel: * At least one VIN_ must exceed VUVLO (2.45V) for the UVLO to startup delay (37.5ms). * The corresponding V IN_ must exceed V PWRRDY (0.95V). * The corresponding V ON_ must exceed V ON,TH (0.875V).

Functional Diagram The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B turn off the corresponding channel if any of the above conditions are not met. During a fault condition on a given channel only, the affected channel is disabled. After a faultlatched shutdown, recycle the corresponding ON_ inputs to unlatch and restart only the corresponding channel. 10 Startup Period RTIM sets the duration of the startup period from 0.4ms (RTIM = 4k) to 51ms (RTIM = 500k) (see the Setting the Startup Period, RTIM section). The default startup period is fixed at 9ms when TIM is unconnected. The startup period begins after the turn-on conditions are met as described in the Mode section, and the device is not latched or in its autoretry delay (see the Latched and Autoretry Fault Management section). ______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Voltage, Triple, Hot-Swap Controllers/ Power Sequencers/Voltage Trackers ON2 ON3 VUVLO (2.45V) ANY IN_ VPWRRDY (0.95V) IN2 VPWRRDY (0.95V) IN3 VPWRRDY (0.95V) OUT1* OUT2* OUT3* *THE OUT_ DISCHARGE RATE IS A RESULT OF NATURAL DECAY OF THE LOAD RESISTANCE AND CAPACITANCE.

Power-Sequencing Fault Turn-Off The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B limit the load current if an overcurrent fault occurs during startup instead of completely turning off the external MOSFETs. The slow comparator is disabled during the startup period and the load current can be limited in two ways: 1) Slowly enhancing the MOSFETs by limiting the MOSFET gate-charging current. 2) Limiting the voltage across the external currentsense resistor. During the startup period, the gate-drive current is limited to 100A and decreases with the increase of the gate voltage (see the Typical Operating Characteristics section). This allows the controller to slowly enhance the MOSFETs. If the fast comparator detects an overcurrent, the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B regulate the gate VariableSpeed/BiLevel fault protection incorporates comparators with different thresholds and response times to monitor the load current (Figure 7). During the startup period, protection is provided by limiting the load current. Protection is provided in normal operation (after the startup period has expired) by discharging the MOSFET gates with a strong 3mA/50mA pulldown current in response to a fault condition. After a fault, STAT_ is deasserted. Use the LATCH input to control whether the STAT_ outputs latch off or autoretry (see the Latched and Autoretry Fault Management section). Slow-Comparator Startup Period The slow comparator is disabled during the startup period while the external MOSFETs are turning on. Disabling the slow comparator allows the device to ignore the higher-than-normal inrush current charging the board capacitors when a card is first plugged into a live backplane. Slow-Comparator Normal Operation After the startup period is complete, the slow comparator is enabled and the device enters normal operation. The comparator threshold voltage (VSC,TH) is adjustable from 25mV to 100mV. The slow-comparator response time is 3ms for a 1mV overdrive. The response time decreases to 100s with a large overdrive. The variable-speed response time allows the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/ MAX5931B to ignore low-amplitude momentary glitches, thus increasing system noise immunity. After an extended overcurrent condition, a fault is generated, STAT_ outputs are deasserted and the MOSFET gates are discharged with a 3mA pulldown current. Fast-Comparator Startup Period During the startup period, the fast comparator regulates the gate voltages to ensure that the voltage across the sense resistor does not exceed the startup fast-comparator threshold voltage (VSU,TH), VSU,TH is scaled to two times the slow-comparator threshold (VSC,TH). ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B ON1 = ON2 = ON3 voltage to ensure that the voltage across the sense resistor does not exceed VSU,TH.

VariableSpeed/BiLevel Response Fast-Comparator Normal Operation In normal operation, if the load current reaches the fastcomparator threshold, a fault is generated, STAT_ is deasserted, and the MOSFET gates are discharged with a strong 50mA pulldown current. This happens in the event of a serious current overload or a dead short. The fast-comparator threshold voltage (V FC,TH ) is scaled to two times the slow-comparator threshold (VSC,TH). This comparator has a fast response time of 200ns (Figure 7). below the UVLO threshold for longer than tD,GF reinitiates tD,UVLO and the startup period, tSTART. See Figure 8 for an example of automatic turn-on function. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The UVLO prevents the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/ MAX5931B from turning on the external MOSFETs until one input voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold (2.45V) for tD,UVLO. The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B use power from the highest input voltage rail for the charge pumps. This allows for more efficient charge-pump operation. The highest VIN_ is provided as an output at BIAS. The UVLO protects the external MOSFETs from an insufficient gate-drive voltage. tD,UVLO ensures that the board is fully inserted into the backplane and that the input voltages are stable. The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B include a UVLO glitch filter (tD,GF) to reject all input voltage noise and transients. Bringing all input supplies Latched and Autoretry Fault Management The MAX5930A can be configured to latch the external MOSFETs off or to autoretry (see Table 2). Toggling ON_ below 0.875V for at least 100s clears the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B (LATCH = unconnected) fault and reinitiates the startup period. Similarly, the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B (LATCH = GND) turn the external MOSFETs off when an overcurrent fault is detected, then automatically restart after the autoretry delay that is internally set to 64 times tSTART. Status Outputs (STAT_) The status (STAT_) outputs are open-drain outputs that assert when hot swap is successful and tSTART has elapsed. STAT_ deasserts if ON_ is low or if the channel is turned off for any fault condition. The polarity of the STAT_ outputs is selected using POL for the MAX5930A (see Table 3). Tables 4 and 5 contain the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B truth tables. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B ON_ MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B Low-Voltage, Triple, Hot-Swap Controllers/ Power Sequencers/Voltage Trackers Table 2.

Table 6 lists recommended components. The MOSFET's on-resistance (R DS(ON) ) should be chosen low enough to have a minimum voltage drop at full load to limit the MOSFET power dissipation. High RDS(ON) causes output ripple if there is a pulsating load. Determine the device power rating to accommodate a short-circuit condition on the board at startup and when the device is in autoretry mode (see the MOSFET Thermal Considerations section). Using these devices in latched mode allows the use of MOSFETs with lower power ratings. A MOSFET typically withstands single-shot pulses with higher dissipation than the specified package rating. Table 7 lists some recommended MOSFET manufacturers. Sense Resistor The slow-comparator threshold voltage is adjustable from 25mV to 100mV. Select a sense resistor that causes a drop equal to the slow-comparator threshold voltage at a current level above the maximum normal operating current. Typically, set the overload current at 1.2 to 1.5 times the full load current. The fast-comparator threshold is two times the slow-comparator threshold in normal operating mode. Choose the senseresistor power rating to be greater than or equal to 2 x (IOVERLOAD) x VSC,TH. Table 7 lists some recommended sense-resistor manufacturers. 16 MAX5930A MAX5931A MAX5931B GND GND Figure 8. Automatic Turn-On When Input Voltages are Above their Respective Undervoltage Lockout Threshold (Provided tD,UVLO Requirement is Met) Slow-Comparator Threshold, RLIM_ (MAX5930A) The slow-comparator threshold voltage is adjustable from 25mV to 100mV, allowing designers to fine-tune the current-limit threshold for use with standard-value sense resistors. Low slow-comparator thresholds allow for increased efficiency by reducing the power dissipated by the sense resistor. Furthermore, the low 25mV slow-comparator threshold is beneficial when operating with supply rails down to 1V because it allows a small percentage of the overall output voltage to be used for current sensing. The VariableSpeed/BiLevel fault protection feature offers inherent system immunity against load transients and noise. This allows the slow-comparator threshold to be set close to the maximum normal operating level without experiencing nuisance faults. To adjust the slow-comparator threshold, calculate RLIM_ as follows: V - 25mV RLIM _ = TH 7.5A where VTH is the desired slow-comparator threshold voltage. Shorting LIM_ to GND sets VTH to 25mV. Do not leave LIM_ unconnected. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Voltage, Triple, Hot-Swap Controllers/ Power Sequencers/Voltage Trackers MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B Table 4.

Startup Sequence There are two ways of completing the startup sequence. Case A describes a startup sequence that slowly turns on the MOSFETs by limiting the gate charge. Case B uses the current-limiting feature and turns on the MOSFETs as fast as possible while still preventing a high inrush current. The output voltage ramp-up time (tON) is determined by the longer of the two timings, case A and case B. Set the startup timer (tSTART) to be longer than tON to guarantee enough time for the output voltage to settle. Case A: Slow Turn-On (Without Current Limit) There are two ways to turn on the MOSFETs without reaching the fast-comparator current limit: * If the board capacitance (C BOARD) is small, the inrush current is low. * If the gate capacitance is high, the MOSFETs turn on slowly. In both cases, the turn-on time is determined only by the charge required to enhance the MOSFET. The small 100A gate-charging current effectively limits the output voltage dV/dt. Connecting an external capacitor between GATE and GND extends the turnon time. The time required to charge/discharge a MOSFET is as follows: 18 WEBSITE 402-563-6325 Setting the Startup Period, RTIM The startup period (tSTART) is adjustable from 0.4ms to 50ms. The adjustable startup period feature allows systems to be customized for MOSFET gate capacitance and board capacitance (CBOARD). The startup period is adjusted with a resistor connected from TIM to GND (RTIM). RTIM must be between 4k and 500k. The startup period has a default value of 9ms when TIM is left unconnected. Calculate RTIM with the following equation: RTIM = PHONE Vishay t= CGATE x VGATE + QGATE IGATE where: C GATE is the external gate to ground capacitance (Figure 9), VGATE is the change in gate charge, QGATE is the MOSFET total gate charge, IGATE is the gate-charging/discharging current. In this case, the inrush current depends on the MOSFET gate-to-drain capacitance (CRSS) plus any additional capacitance from GATE to GND (CGATE), and on any load current (ILOAD) present during the startup period. IINRUSH = CBOARD x IGATE + ILOAD CRSS + CGATE Example: Charging and discharging times using the Fairchild FDB7030L MOSFET If VIN1 = 5V then GATE1 charges up to 10.4V (VIN1 + VDRIVE), therefore VGATE = 10.4V. The manufacturer's data sheet specifies that the FDB7030L has approximately 60nC of gate charge and CRSS = 600pF. The MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B have a 100A gate charging current and a 3mA/50mA normal/strong discharging current. CBOARD = 6F and the load does not draw any current during the startup period. With no gate capacitor, the inrush current, charge, and discharge times are: 6F x 100A + 0 = 1A 600pF + 0 0 x 10.4V + 60nC t CHARGE = = 0.6ms 100A 0 x 10.4V + 60nC tDISCHARGE(NORMAL) = = 0.02ms 3mA 0 x 10.4V + 60nC = 1.2s tDISCHARGE(STRONG) = 50mA IINRUSH = ______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Voltage, Triple, Hot-Swap Controllers/ Power Sequencers/Voltage Trackers VOUT_ VIN CBOARD RPULLUP IN_ SENSE_ GATE_ CGATE R1 IN_ SENSE_ GATE_ ON_ STAT_ ON_ MAX5930A MAX5931A MAX5931B R2 MAX5930A MAX5931A MAX5931B VTURN-ON - (R2 x R1) VON, TH R2 GND Figure 9. Operating with an External Gate Capacitor With a 22nF gate capacitor, the inrush current, charge, and discharge times are: 6F x 100A + 0 = 26.5mA 600pF + 22nF 22nF x 10.4V + 60nC t CHARGE = = 2.89ms 100A 22nF x 10.4V + 60nC tDISCHARGE(NORMAL) = = 0.096ms 3mA 22nF x 10.4V + 60nC = 5.8s tDISCHARGE(STRONG) = 50mA IINRUSH = Case B: Fast Turn-On (With Current Limit) In applications where the board capacitance (CBOARD) is high, the inrush current causes a voltage drop across R SENSE that exceeds the startup fast-comparator threshold. The fast comparator regulates the voltage across the sense resistor to VFC,TH. This effectively regulates the inrush current during startup. In this case, the current charging CBOARD can be considered constant and the turn-on time is: t ON = CBOARD x VIN x RSENSE VFC,TH The maximum inrush current in this case is: IINRUSH = VFC,TH RSENSE Figure 6 shows the waveforms and timing diagrams for a startup transient with current regulation (see the Typical Operating Characteristics section). When operating under this condition, an external gate capacitor is not required. Figure 10. Adjustable Undervoltage Lockout ON Comparators The ON comparators control the on/off function of the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B. ON_ is also used to reset the fault latch (latch mode). Pull VON_ low for 100s, tUNLATCH, to reset the shutdown latch. ON_ also programs the UVLO threshold (see Figure 10). A resistive divider between VIN_, VON_, and GND sets the user-programmable turn-on voltage. In power-sequencing mode, an RC circuit can be used at ON_ to set the delay timing (see Figure 11). Using the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/ MAX5931B on the Backplane Using the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B on the backplane allows multiple cards with different input capacitance to be inserted into the same slot even if the card does not have on-board hot-swap protection. The startup period can be triggered if IN_ is connected to ON_ through a trace on the card (Figure 12). Input Transients The voltage at IN1, IN2, or IN3 must be above VUVLO during inrush and fault conditions. When a short-circuit condition occurs on the board, the fast-comparator trips cause the external MOSFET gates to be discharged at 50mA according to the mode of operation (see the Mode section). The main system power supply must be able to sustain a temporary fault current, without dropping below the UVLO threshold of 2.45V, until the external MOSFET is completely off. If the main system power supply collapses below UVLO, the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B force the device to restart once the supply has recovered. The MOSFET is turned off in a very short time resulting in a high di/dt. The backplane delivering the power to the external card must have low inductance to minimize voltage transients caused by this high di/dt. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 19 MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B RSENSE_ VIN_ MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B Low-Voltage, Triple, Hot-Swap Controllers/ Power Sequencers/Voltage Trackers RSENSEY Q1 VY OUTY CBOARDY INY R1 ON VEN SENSEY GATEY ON OFF MAX5930A MAX5931A MAX5931B C1 GND GND INZ SENSEZ GATEZ OUTZ VZ Q2 RSENSEZ VEN VONZ, TH CBOARDZ t1 = -R1C1 ln (V VEN t2 = -R1C1 ln (V VEN VON VONY, TH VY ) EN - VONY, TH ) EN - VONZ, TH VZ tDELAY = -R1C1 ln t0 t1 ( VV ) EN - VONY, TH EN - VONZ, TH t2 tDELAY Figure 11. Power Sequencing: Channel Z Turns On tDELAY After Channel Y MOSFET Thermal Considerations During normal operation, the external MOSFETs dissipate little power. The MOSFET RDS(ON) is low when the MOSFET is fully enhanced. The power dissipated in normal operation is P D = I LOAD 2 x R DS(ON) . The most power dissipation occurs during the turn-on and turn-off transients when the MOSFETs are in their linear regions. By taking into consideration the worst-case scenario of a continuous short-circuit fault, consider these two cases: 1) The single turn-on with the device latched after a fault: MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B (LATCH = high or unconnected). 20 2) The continuous autoretry after a fault: MAX5930A/ MAX5931A/MAX5931B (LATCH = low). MOSFET manufacturers typically include the package thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RJA) and thermal resistance from junction to case (RJC), which determine the startup time and the retry duty cycle (d = tSTART/(tSTART + tRETRY). Calculate the required transient thermal resistance with the following equation: Z JA(MAX) TJMAX - TA VIN x ISTART where ISTART = VSU,TH / RSENSE. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Voltage, Triple, Hot-Swap Controllers/ Power Sequencers/Voltage Trackers POWER SUPPLY VIN HIGH-CURRENT PATH VOUT CBOARD IN_ SENSE RESISTOR SENSE_ GATE_ MAX5930A MAX5931A MAX5931B ON_ MAX5930A MAX5931A MAX5931B Figure 12. Using the MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B on a Backplane Layout Considerations To take full tracking advantage of the switch response time to an output fault condition, it is important to keep all traces as short as possible and to maximize the high-current trace dimensions to reduce the effect of undesirable parasitic inductance. Place the MAX5930A/ MAX5931A/MAX5931B close to the card's connector. Use a ground plane to minimize impedance and inductance. Minimize the current-sense resistor trace length (<10mm), and ensure accurate current sensing with Kelvin connections (Figure 13). Figure 13. Kelvin Connection for the Current-Sense Resistors When the output is short circuited, the voltage drop across the external MOSFET becomes large. Hence, the power dissipation across the switch increases, as does the die temperature. An efficient way to achieve good power dissipation on a surface-mount package is to lay out two copper pads directly under the MOSFET package on both sides of the board. Connect the two pads to the ground plane through vias, and use enlarged copper mounting pads on the topside of the board. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 21 MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B BACKPLANE REMOVABLE CARD WITH NO HOT-INSERTION PROTECTION Low-Voltage, Triple, Hot-Swap Controllers/ Power Sequencers/Voltage Trackers BACKPLANE REMOVABLE CARD RSENSE1 Q1 V1 RSENSE2 V2 RSENSE3 ON3 STAT3 BIAS RTIM** TIM MODE RLIM3** POL* LATCH* RLIM2** LIM3* RLIM1** LIM2* GND STAT1 STAT2 MAX5930A MAX5931A MAX5931B LIM1* GND GATE2 ON3 OUT3 GATE3 ON2 SENSE3 SENSE2 SENSE1 IN3 IN2 IN1 ON1 ON2 OUT2 Q3 V3 ON1 OUT1 Q2 GATE1 MAX5930A/MAX5931A/MAX5931B Typical Operating Circuit 1nF 16V *MAX5930A ONLY. **OPTIONAL COMPONENT.
