The MOSFET acting as an ideal diode replaces a high power Schottky diode and the associated heat sink, saving power and board area. The Hot Swap MOSFET control allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane by limiting inrush current. The supply output is also protected against short-circuit faults with a fast acting foldback current limit and electronic circuit breaker. The LTC4229 regulates the forward voltage drop across the external MOSFET to ensure smooth current transfer in diode-OR applications. The ideal diode turns on quickly to reduce the load voltage droop during supply switchover. If the input supply fails or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse-current transients. The LTC4229 provides adjustable start-up delay, undervoltage and overvoltage protection, and reports fault and power good status for the supply. It can be configured for latch off or automatic retry after a fault.

Connect a capacitor from CPO to the DSRC pin. The value of this capacitor is approximately 10x the gate capacitance (CISS) of the external MOSFET for ideal diode control. The charge stored on this capacitor is used to pull up the ideal diode MOSFET gate during a fast turn-on. Leave this pin open if fast ideal diode turn-on is not needed. DCFG: Logic Input. Configures status indication of DFLT output depending on diode sense (DSNS) connection. Connect this pin to GND when the diode sense is only across the ideal diode MOSFET. Connect to INTVCC when the diode sense is across the ideal diode MOSFET, sense resistor and Hot Swap MOSFET. DFLT: Diode MOSFET Fault Status Output. This pin is pulled low by an internal switch when the voltage between IN and DSNS exceeds 250mV. The external ideal diode MOSFET is not turned off during the fault. An internal 10A current source pulls this pin up to a diode below INTVCC. It may be pulled above INTVCC using an external pull-up. Leave open if unused. DGATE: Ideal Diode MOSFET Gate Drive Output. Connect this pin to the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET for ideal diode control. An internal clamp limits the gate voltage to 12V above and a diode voltage below DSRC. During fast turn-on, a 1.5A pull-up charges DGATE from CPO. During fast turn-off, a 1.5A pull-down discharges DGATE to DSRC. DOFF: Control Input. A rising edge above 1.235V turns off the external ideal diode MOSFET and a falling edge below 1.215V allows the MOSFET to be turned on. DSNS: Ideal Diode Output Voltage Sense Input. Connect this pin to the output of either the ideal diode MOSFET or the Hot Swap MOSFET for diode output sense. The voltage sensed at this pin is used to control DGATE for forward voltage regulation and reverse turn-off. DSRC: Ideal Diode's MOSFET Gate Drive Return. Connect this pin to the source of the external N-channel MOSFET switch. The gate fast pull-down current returns through this pin when DGATE is discharged. DSTAT: Diode MOSFET Status Output. Open drain output that pulls low when the MOSFET gate drive voltage between DGATE and DSRC exceeds 0.7V. Otherwise it goes high impedance and requires an external pull-up resistor to a positive supply as there is no internal 10A current source at this pin. Leave open if unused. DTMR: Debounce Timer Capacitor Terminal. Connect this pin to either INTVCC for fixed 100ms delay or an external capacitor to ground for adjustable start-up delay (123ms/F) when EN toggles low. EN: Enable Input. Ground this pin to enable Hot Swap control. If this pin is pulled high, the MOSFET is not allowed to turn on. A 10A current source pulls this pin up to a diode below INTVCC. Upon EN going low when UV is high and OV is low, there is a start-up delay for debounce as configured at the DTMR pin, after which the fault is cleared. Exposed Pad (UFD Package): The exposed pad may be left open or connected to device ground. FAULT: Overcurrent Fault Status Output. Output that pulls low when the fault filter times out during an overcurrent fault. Otherwise it is pulled high by a 10A current source to a diode below INTVCC. It may be pulled above INTVCC using an external pull-up. Leave open if unused. FB: Foldback and Power Good Comparator Input. Connect this pin to an external resistive divider from OUT. If the voltage falls below 1.215V, the PWRGD pin pulls high to indicate the power is bad. If the voltage falls below 0.9V, the output power is considered bad and the current limit is reduced. Tie to INTVCC to disable foldback. FTMR: Fault Timer Capacitor Terminal. Connect a capacitor between this pin and ground to set a 12ms/F duration for current limit before the external Hot Swap MOSFET is turned off. The duration of the off time is 11s/F, resulting in a 0.1% duty cycle. GND: Device Ground. 4229f For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 7 LTC4229 Pin Functions HGATE: Hot Swap MOSFET Gate Drive Output. Connect this pin to the gate of the external N-channel MOSFET for Hot Swap control. An internal 10A current source charges the MOSFET gate. An internal clamp limits the gate voltage to 12V above and a diode voltage below OUT. During an undervoltage or overvoltage generated turn-off, a 2mA pull-down discharges HGATE to ground. During an output short or INTVCC undervoltage lockout, a fast 200mA pulldown discharges HGATE to OUT. IN: Positive Supply Input. The 5V INTVCC supply is generated from IN, SENSE+ and OUT via an internal diode-OR. The voltage sensed at this pin is used to control DGATE. INTVCC: Internal 5V Supply Decoupling Output. This pin must have a 0.1F or larger capacitor. An external load of less than 500A can be connected at this pin. An undervoltage lockout threshold of 2.2V will turn off both MOSFETs. OUT: Hot Swap's MOSFET Gate Drive Return. Connect this pin to the output side of the external MOSFET. The gate fast pull-down current returns through this pin when HGATE is discharged. OV: Overvoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin to an external resistive divider from IN or SENSE+ to monitor the supply overvoltage condition. If the voltage at this pin rises above 1.235V, an overvoltage fault is detected and the Hot Swap MOSFET turns off. Tie to GND if unused. RTMR: Auto-Retry Timer Capacitor Terminal. Connect this pin to INTVCC for fault latch off. Leave open for auto-retry with 0.1% duty cycle after a fault. Connect an external capacitor to extend the Hot Swap MOSFET off time set by the FTMR pin capacitor to less than 0.1% auto-retry duty cycle after a fault. SENSE+: Positive Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to the input of the current sense resistor. The voltage sensed at this pin is used for monitoring the current limit. This pin has an undervoltage lockout threshold of 1.9V that will turn off the Hot Swap MOSFET. SENSE-: Negative Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to the output of the current sense resistor. The current limit circuit controls HGATE to limit the voltage between SENSE+ and SENSE- to 25mV or less depending on the voltage at the FB pin. UV: Undervoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin to an external resistive divider from IN or SENSE+ to monitor the supply undervoltage condition. If the voltage at this pin falls below 1.155V, an undervoltage fault is detected and the Hot Swap MOSFET turns off. Pulling the UV pin below 0.6V resets the fault latch after an overcurrent fault. Tie to INTVCC if unused. PWRGD: Power Status Output. Output that pulls low when the FB pin rises above 1.235V and the MOSFET gate drive between HGATE and OUT exceeds 4.2V. Otherwise it is pulled high by a 10A current source to a diode below INTVCC. It may be pulled above INTVCC using an external pull-up.

It controls two external N-channel MOSFETs on a supply path, a diode MOSFET (MD) and a Hot Swap MOSFET (MH). When the LTC4229 is first powered up, the gates of the external MOSFETs are held low, keeping them off. The gate drive amplifier (GD) monitors the voltage between the IN and DSNS pins and drives the DGATE pin. The amplifier quickly pulls up the DGATE pin, turning on the MOSFET for ideal diode control, when it senses a large forward voltage drop. An external capacitor connected between the CPO and DSRC pins provides the charge needed to quickly turn on the ideal diode MOSFET. An internal charge pump charges up this capacitor at device power-up. The DGATE pin sources current from the CPO pin and sinks current into the DSRC and GND pins. When the DGATE to DSRC voltage exceeds 0.7V, the DSTAT pin pulls low to indicate that the ideal diode MOSFET is turned on. If the LTC4229 is out of undervoltage and overvoltage conditions, pulling the EN pin low initiates a debounce timing cycle that can be a fixed 100ms or adjustable delay as configured at the DTMR pin. After this timing cycle, a 10A current source from the charge pump ramps up the HGATE pin. When the Hot Swap MOSFET turns on, the inrush current is limited at a level set by an external sense resistor (RS) connected between the SENSE+ and SENSE- pins. An active current limit amplifier (CL) servos the gate of the MOSFET to 25mV or less across the current sense resistor depending on the voltage at the FB pin. Inrush current can be further reduced, if desired, by adding a capacitor from HGATE to GND. When FB voltage rises above 1.235V and the MOSFET's gate drive (HGATE to OUT voltage) exceeds 4.2V, the PWRGD pin pulls low. When both of the MOSFETs are turned on, the gate drive amplifier controls DGATE to servo the forward voltage drop (VIN - VDSNS) across the sense resistor and the two 10 MOSFETs to 50mV if DSNS and OUT pins are connected together. If the load current causes more than 50mV of voltage drop, the DGATE voltage rises to enhance the MOSFET used for ideal diode control. For large output currents, the ideal diode MOSFET is driven fully on and the voltage drop across the MOSFETs is equal to the sum of the ILOAD * RDS(ON) of the two MOSFETs in series. However, if DSNS and SENSE+ pins are connected together, the gate drive amplifier attempts to regulate 50mV across the ideal diode MOSFET only regardless of the ILOAD * RDS(ON) drop across the Hot Swap MOSFET. In the case of an input supply short circuit when the MOSFETs are conducting, a large reverse current starts flowing from the load towards the input. The gate drive amplifier detects this failure condition and turns off the ideal diode MOSFET by pulling down the DGATE pin. In the case where an overcurrent fault occurs on the supply output, the current is limited with foldback. After a delay set by 100A charging the FTMR pin capacitor, the fault filter times out and pulls the HGATE pin low, turning off the Hot Swap MOSFET. The FAULT pin is also latched low. At this point, the DGATE pin continues to pull high and keeps the ideal diode MOSFET on. Internal clamps limit both the DGATE to DSRC and CPO to DSRC voltages to 12V. The same clamps also limit the CPO and DGATE pins to a diode voltage below the DSRC pin. Another internal clamp limits the HGATE to OUT voltage to 12V and also clamps the HGATE pin to a diode voltage below the OUT pin. Power to the LTC4229 is supplied from either the IN, SENSE+ or OUT pins, through an internal diode-OR circuit to a low dropout regulator (LDO). That LDO generates a 5V supply at the INTVCC pin and powers the LTC4229's internal low voltage circuitry 4229f For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 LTC4229 Applications Information Internal VCC Supply High availability systems often employ parallel-connected power supplies or battery feeds to achieve redundancy and enhance system reliability. Power ORing diodes are commonly used to connect these supplies at the point of load at the expense of power loss due to significant diode forward voltage drop. The LTC4229 minimizes this power loss by using an external N-channel MOSFET as the pass element, allowing for a low voltage drop from the supply to the load when the MOSFET is turned on. When an input source voltage drops below the output common supply voltage, the appropriate MOSFET is turned off, thereby matching the function and performance of an ideal diode. By adding a current sense resistor in between the two external MOSFETs that are separately controlled, the LTC4229 enhances the ideal diode performance with inrush current limiting and overcurrent protection (see Figure 1). This allows the board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane without damaging the connector. VIN 12V BULK SUPPLY BYPASS CAPACITOR MD SiR818DP RS 0.0025 The LTC4229 operates with an input supply from 2.9V to 18V. The power supply to the device is internally regulated at 5V by a low dropout regulator (LDO) with an output at the INTVCC pin. An internal diode-OR circuit selects the highest of the supplies at the IN, SENSE+ and OUT pins to power the device through the LDO. The diode-OR scheme permits the device's power to be kept alive by the OUT voltage when the IN and SENSE+ supplies have collapsed or shut off. An undervoltage lockout circuit prevents all of the MOSFETs from turning on until the INTVCC voltage exceeds 2.2V. A 0.1F capacitor is recommended between the INTVCC and GND pins, close to the device for bypassing. No external supply should be connected at the INTVCC pin so as not to affect the LDO's operation. A small external load of less than 500A can be connected at the INTVCC pin.

Plug-In Card Supplying 12V Power to Backplane 4229f For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 11 LTC4229 Applications Information DSNS and DCFG Configuration Turn-On Sequence The LTC4229 features the DSNS and DCFG pins that allow a diode-OR circuit output to be configured either at the SENSE+ or OUT pin (see Figure 2). If DSNS is connected to SENSE+, the forward voltage is sensed across the ideal diode MOSFET MD. As the Hot Swap MOSFET MH is not part of the diode sensing, connect the DCFG pin to GND so that the Hot Swap MOSFET gate overdrive will not be considered as a criterion for the ideal diode MOSFET fault status indication at the DFLT pin. If DSNS is connected to OUT, the forward voltage is sensed across the ideal diode MOSFET, sense resistor and Hot Swap MOSFET. Since the Hot Swap MOSFET is part of the diode sensing and is turned off at start-up, the DFLT pin may be falsely pulled low to indicate an open ideal diode MOSFET fault when the forward voltage exceeds 250mV. For such a configuration, connect DCFG pin to INTVCC so that the Hot Swap MOSFET gate overdrive condition will be considered to avoid false indication of the DFLT output status. The board power supply at the OUT pin is controlled with two external N-channel MOSFETs (MD, MH) in Figure 1. The MOSFET MD on the supply side functions as an ideal diode, while MH on the load side acts as a Hot Swap controlling the power supplied to the output load. The sense resistor RS monitors the load current for overcurrent detection. The HGATE capacitor CHG controls the gate slew rate to limit the inrush current. Resistor RHG with CHG compensates the current control loop, while RH prevents high frequency oscillations in the Hot Swap MOSFET. D1 Before the Hot Swap MOSFET can be turned on, the UV and OV pin voltage requirements should be met and EN must remain low for a debounce cycle as configured at the DTMR pin, to ensure that any contact bounces during the insertion have ceased. At the end of the debounce cycle, the internal fault latch is cleared. The Hot Swap MOSFET is then allowed to turn on by charging up HGATE with a 10A current source from the charge pump. The voltage at the HGATE pin rises with a slope equal to 10A/CHG and the supply inrush current flowing into the load capacitor CL is limited to: VIN2 VIN1 RS MD MH IN DGATE DSNS SENSE+ SENSE- HGATE LTC4229* GND DCFG VOUT OUT DFLT INTVCC C1 D1 VIN2 VIN1 RS MD MH IN DGATE SENSE+ SENSE- HGATE LTC4229* GND DCFG VOUT DSNS OUT DFLT INTVCC 4229 F02 C1 *ADDITIONAL DETAILS OMITTED FOR CLARITY Figure 2. DSNS and DCFG Configurations 12 During a normal power-up, the ideal diode MOSFET turns on first. As soon as the internally generated supply, INTVCC, rises above its 2.2V undervoltage lockout threshold, the internal charge pump is allowed to charge up the CPO pin. The gate drive amplifier controls the gate of the ideal diode MOSFET, to servo its forward voltage drop between the IN and DSNS pins to 50mV. If the forward drop is large, the gate drive amplifier will cause DGATE to be pulled up to the CPO pin voltage and drive the MOSFET gate fully on. IINRUSH = CL *10A CHG The OUT voltage follows the HGATE voltage when the Hot Swap MOSFET turns on. If the voltage across the current sense resistor RS becomes too high based on the FB pin voltage, the inrush current will be limited by the internal current limiting circuitry. Once the MOSFET gate overdrive exceeds 4.2V and the FB pin voltage is above 1.235V, the PWRGD pin pulls low to indicate that the power is good. 4229f For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 LTC4229 Applications Information Once OUT reaches the input supply voltage, HGATE continues to ramp up. An internal 12V clamp limits the HGATE voltage above OUT. Turn-Off Sequence The external MOSFETs can be turned off by a variety of conditions. A normal turn-off for the Hot Swap MOSFET is initiated by pulling the UV pin below its 1.155V threshold (80mV UV pin hysteresis), or pulling the EN pin above its 1.235V threshold. Additionally, an overvoltage fault or overcurrent fault that exceeds the fault filter time-out also turns off the Hot Swap MOSFET. Normally, the LTC4229 turns off the MOSFET by pulling the HGATE pin to ground with a 2mA current sink. All of the MOSFETs turn off when INTVCC falls below its undervoltage lockout threshold (2.2V). The DGATE pin is pulled down with a 100A current to one diode voltage below the DSRC pin, while the HGATE pin is pulled down to the OUT pin by a 200mA current. The gate drive amplifier controls the ideal diode MOSFET to prevent reverse current when the input supply falls below DSNS (connects to either SENSE+ or OUT). If the input supply collapses quickly, the gate drive amplifier turns off the ideal diode MOSFET with a fast pull-down circuit. If the input supply falls at a more modest rate, the gate drive amplifier controls the MOSFET to maintain DSNS at 50mV below IN. Board Presence Detect with EN After the input has settled to within the OV and UV limits, and the EN pin goes low indicating a board presence, the LTC4229 initiates a timing cycle as configured at the DTMR pin for contact debounce. It defaults to internal 100ms delay if DTMR is tied to INTVCC. If an external capacitor CDT is connected from the DTMR pin to GND, the delay is given by charging the capacitor to 1.235V with a 10A current. Thereafter, the capacitor is discharged to ground by a 5mA current. For a given debounce delay, the equation for setting the external capacitor CDT value is: Upon board insertion, any bounces on the EN pin restart the timing cycle. When the debounce timing cycle is done, the internal fault latch is cleared. If the EN pin remains low at the end of the timing cycle, HGATE is charged up with a 10A current source to turn on the Hot Swap MOSFET. If the EN pin goes high, indicating a board removal, the HGATE pin is pulled low with a 2mA current sink after a 20s delay, turning off the Hot Swap MOSFET without clearing any latched fault. Overcurrent Fault The LTC4229 features an adjustable current limit with foldback that protects the external MOSFET against short circuits or excessive load current. The voltage across the external sense resistor RS is monitored by an active current limit amplifier. The amplifier controls the gate of the Hot Swap MOSFET to reduce the load current as a function of the output voltage sensed by the FB pin during active current limit. A graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics shows the current limit sense voltage versus FB voltage. An overcurrent fault occurs when the output has been in current limit for longer than the fault filter delay configured at the FTMR pin. Current limiting begins when the sense voltage between the SENSE+ and SENSE- pins reaches 8.3mV to 25mV depending on the FB pin voltage. The gate of the Hot Swap MOSFET is brought under control by the current limit amplifier and the output current is regulated to limit the sense voltage to less than 25mV. At this point, the fault filter starts the timeout with a 100A current charging the FTMR pin capacitor. If the FTMR pin voltage exceeds its 1.235V threshold, the external MOSFET turns off with HGATE pulled to ground by 2mA, and FAULT pulls low. After the Hot Swap MOSFET turns off, the FTMR pin capacitor is discharged with a 2A pull-down current until its threshold reaches 0.2V. This is followed by a cool-off period of 14 timing cycles as described in the FTMR Pin Functions. Figure 3 shows an overcurrent fault on the 12V output. CDT = tDB * 0.0081 [F/ms] 4229f For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 13 LTC4229 Applications Information resistor exceeds the foldback current limit threshold (from 25mV to 8.3mV), FTMR pulls up with 100A. Otherwise, it pulls down with 2A. The fault filter times out when the 1.235V FTMR threshold is exceeded, causing the FAULT pin to pull low. For a given fault filter delay, the equation for setting the external capacitor CFT value is: OUT 10V/DIV HGATE 10V/DIV CFT = tFF * 0.083 [F/ms] ILOAD 20A/DIV 200s/DIV 4229 F03 Figure 3. Overcurrent Fault on 12V Output OUT 10V/DIV HGATE 10V/DIV tCOOL = CFT * 11 [s/F] ILOAD 20A/DIV 5s/DIV 4229 F04 Figure 4. Severe Short-Circuit on 12V Output In the event of a severe short-circuit fault on the 12V output as shown in Figure 4, the output current can surge to tens of amperes. The LTC4229 responds within 1s to bring the current under control by pulling the HGATE to OUT voltage down to zero volts. Almost immediately, the gate of the Hot Swap MOSFET recovers rapidly due to the charge stored in the RHG and CHG network, and current is actively limited until the fault filter times out. Due to parasitic supply lead inductance, an input supply without any bypass capacitor may collapse during the high current surge and then spike upwards when the current is interrupted. Figure 13 shows the input supply transient suppressors consisting of Z1, RSNUB and CSNUB for the supply if there is no input capacitance. FTMR Pin Functions An external capacitor CFT connected from the FTMR pin to GND serves as fault filtering when the supply output is in active current limit. When the voltage across the sense 14 After the fault filter timeout, the FTMR pin capacitor pulls down with 2A from the 1.235V FTMR threshold until it reaches 0.2V. Then, it completes 14 cooling cycles consisting of the FTMR pin capacitor charging to 1.235V with a 100A current and discharging to 0.2V with a 2A current. At that point, the HGATE pin voltage is allowed to start up if the fault has been cleared as described in the Resetting Fault section. When the latched fault is cleared during the cool-off period, the FAULT pin pulls high. The total cool-off time for the MOSFET after an overcurrent fault is: After the cool-off period, the HGATE pin is only allowed to pull up if the fault has been cleared for the latchoff configuration. For the auto-retry configuration, the latched fault is cleared automatically following the extended cooloff period and the HGATE pin voltage is allowed to restart. Resetting Fault For the latchoff configuration with the RTMR pin tied to INTVCC, an overcurrent fault is latched after fault filter times out, and the FAULT pin is asserted low. To reset a latched fault and restart the output, pull the UV pin below 0.6V for more than 100s and then high above 1.235V. The fault latch resets and the FAULT pin deasserts on the falling edge of the UV pin. When UV goes high again, a debounce timing cycle is initiated before the HGATE pin voltage restarts. Toggling the EN pin high and then low again also resets a fault, but the FAULT pin pulls high at the end of the debounce cycle before the HGATE pin voltage starts up. Bringing the supply below the INTVCC undervoltage lockout threshold (2.2V) shuts off all the MOSFETs and resets the fault latch. A debounce cycle is initiated before a normal start-up when the supply is restored above the INTVCC UVLO threshold. 4229f For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 LTC4229 Applications Information Auto-Retry After a Fault Monitor Overvoltage and Undervoltage Faults For the auto-retry configuration, if the RTMR pin is left open, the latched fault is reset automatically at the end of the cool-off period as described in the FTMR Pin Functions section. In this case, the auto-retry duty cycle is equal to 0.1%, irrespective of CFT. If an external capacitor CRT is connected from the RTMR pin to GND, the cool-off time can be further extended by another 15 cooling cycles consisting of the RTMR pin capacitor charging to 1.235V with a 10A current and discharging to 0.2V with a 5mA current. For a given additional cool-off time for the MOSFET, the equation for setting the external capacitor CRT value is: Both the OV and UV pins function as an input supply monitor while UV pin also functions as a turn-on control. A resistive divider connected between the input supply (IN or SENSE+) and GND at the OV and UV pins monitors the supply for overvoltage and undervoltage conditions. The overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds are set by proper selection of the resistors at their respective OV and UV rising threshold voltage (1.235V). CRT = tXCOOL * 0.54 [F/s] At the end of the extended cool-off period, the fault latch is cleared and FAULT pulls high. The HGATE pin voltage is allowed to start up and turn on the Hot Swap MOSFET. If the output short persists, the supply powers up into a short with active current limiting until the fault filter times out and FAULT again pulls low. A new extended cool-off cycle begins with FTMR ramping down with a 2A current. The whole process repeats itself until the output short is removed. The auto-retry duty cycle is given by: Duty Cycle = tFF * 100% tCOOL + t XCOOL For example, if CFT = 0.1F, CRT = 1F and tFF = 1.2ms, the auto-retry duty cycle is calculated as 0.04%. Figure 5 shows an auto-retry sequence after an overcurrent fault. For Figure 1, if R1 = 2k, R2 = 1.1k and R3 = 21.5k, the input supply overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds are set to 15.2V and 9.8V respectively. An overvoltage fault occurs if the input supply rises above its overvoltage threshold. The Hot Swap MOSFET is turned off by a 2mA pull-down from HGATE to ground. If the input supply subsequently falls below its overvoltage threshold, the Hot Swap MOSFET is allowed to turn on immediately. The OV pin voltage is 1.215V when falling out of overvoltage. An undervoltage fault occurs if the input supply falls below its undervoltage threshold. If the UV pin voltage falls below 1.155V but remains above 0.6V, the Hot Swap MOSFET is turned off by a 2mA pull-down from HGATE to ground. The Hot Swap MOSFET turns back on instantly without the debounce cycle when the input supply rises above its undervoltage threshold. However, if the UV pin voltage drops below 0.6V, it turns off the Hot Swap MOSFET and clears the fault latch. The Hot Swap MOSFET turns back on only after a debounce cycle when the input supply is restored above its undervoltage threshold. During the overvoltage and undervoltage fault conditions, FAULT will not be pulled low but PWRGD will be pulled high as HGATE is pulled low. The ideal diode function controlled by the ideal diode MOSFET is not affected by the OV and UV fault conditions.

Also, the FB pin that connects to OUT through a resistive divider is used to determine a power good condition. The power good 4229f For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 15 LTC4229 Applications Information comparator drives high when the FB pin rises above 1.235V, and drives low when FB falls below 1.215V. The power good status for the input supply is reported via an open-drain output, PWRGD. It is normally pulled high by an external pull-up resistor or the internal 10A pull-up. The PWRGD pin pulls low when the FB power good comparator is high and the HGATE drive exceeds 4.2V. The PWRGD pin goes high when the HGATE is turned off by the UV, OV or EN pins, or when the FB power good comparator drives low, or when INTVCC enters undervoltage lockout. CPO and DGATE Start-Up In applications where a single ideal diode MOSFET is placed on the supply side, CPO is initially pulled up to a diode below the DSRC pin when first powered up (see Figure 13). In back-to-back MOSFETs applications, CPO starts off at 0V, since DSRC is near ground (see Figure 14). CPO starts ramping up 7s after INTVCC clears its undervoltage lockout level. Another 40s later, DGATE also starts ramping up with CPO. The CPO ramp rate is determined by the CPO pull-up current into the combined CPO and DGATE pin capacitances. An internal clamp limits the CPO pin voltage to 12V above the DSRC pin, while the final DGATE pin voltage is determined by the gate drive amplifier. An internal 12V clamp limits the DGATE pin voltage above DSRC. at IN is between 2.9V and 7V. When the supply voltage at IN is greater than 7V, the gate drive is guaranteed to be greater than 10V. The gate drive is limited to 14V. An external Zener diode can be used to clamp the potential from the MOSFET's gate to source if the rated breakdown voltage is less than 14V. The maximum allowable drain-source voltage BVDSS must be higher than the supply voltage including supply transients as the full supply voltage can appear across the MOSFET. If an input or output is connected to ground, the full supply voltage will appear across the MOSFET. The RDS(ON) should be small enough to conduct the maximum load current, and also stay within the MOSFET's power rating. Supply Transient Protection When the capacitances at the input and output are very small, rapid changes in current during input or output short-circuit events can cause transients that exceed the 24V absolute maximum ratings of the IN and OUT pins. To minimize such spikes, use wider traces or heavier trace plating to reduce the power trace inductance. Also, bypass locally with a 10F electrolytic and 0.1F ceramic, or alternatively clamp the input with a transient voltage suppressor Z1. A 100, 0.1F snubber damps the response and eliminates ringing (see Figure 13). CPO Capacitor Selection Design Example The recommended value of the capacitor between the CPO and DSRC pins is approximately 10x the input capacitance CISS of the ideal diode MOSFET. A larger capacitor takes a correspondingly longer time to charge up by the internal charge pump. A smaller capacitor suffers more voltage drop during a fast gate turn-on event as it shares charge with the MOSFET gate capacitance. As a design example for selecting components, consider a 12V system with a 7.6A maximum load current for the input supply (see Figure 1). MOSFET Selection First, select the appropriate value of the current sense resistor RS for the 12V supply. Calculate the sense resistor value based on the maximum load current ILOAD(MAX) and the lower limit for the current limit sense voltage threshold VSENSE(TH)(MIN). VSENSE(TH)(MIN) 22.5mV = 2.9m 7.6A The LTC4229 drives N-channel MOSFETs to conduct the load current. The important features of the MOSFETs are on-resistance RDS(ON), the maximum drain-source voltage BVDSS and the threshold voltage. Choose a 2.5m sense resistor with a 1% tolerance. The gate drive for the ideal diode and Hot Swap MOSFET is guaranteed to be greater than 5V when the supply voltage Next, calculate the RDS(ON) of the ideal diode MOSFET to achieve the desired forward drop at maximum load. 16 RS = ILOAD(MAX) = 4229f For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 LTC4229 Applications Information VFWD RDS(ON) ILOAD(MAX) = 50mV = 6.5m 7.6A The SiR818DP offers a good choice with a maximum RDS(ON) of 2.8m at VGS = 10V. The input capacitance CISS of the SiR818DP is about 3660pF. Slightly exceeding the 10x recommendation, a 0.1F capacitor is selected for C2 at the CPO pin. Next, verify that the thermal ratings of the selected Hot Swap MOSFET are not exceeded during power-up or an overcurrent fault. Assuming the MOSFET dissipates power due to inrush current charging the load capacitor CL at power-up, the energy dissipated in the MOSFET is the same as the energy stored in the load capacitor, and is given by: 1 ECL = * CL * VIN2 2 For CL = 680F, the time it takes to charge up CL is calculated as: tCHARGE = CL * VIN 680F * 12V = = 8ms IINRUSH 1A The inrush current is set to 1A by adding capacitance CHG at the gate of the Hot Swap MOSFET. CHG = CL *IHGATE(UP) IINRUSH = 680F * 10A = 6.8nF 1A Choose a practical value of 10nF for CHG. The average power dissipated in the MOSFET is calculated as: PAVG = ECL tCHARGE 2 1 680F * (12V ) = * = 6W 2 8ms The MOSFET selected must be able to tolerate 6W for 8ms during power-up. The SOA curves of the SiR818DP provide 45W (1.5A at 30V) for 100ms. This is sufficient to satisfy the requirement. The increase in junction temperature due to the power dissipated in the MOSFET is T = PAVG * ZthJC where ZthJC is the junction-to-case thermal impedance. Under this condition, the SiR818DP data sheet indicates that the junction temperature will increase by 3C using ZthJC = 0.5C/W (single pulse). Next, the power dissipated in the MOSFET during an overcurrent fault must be safely limited. The fault timer capacitor (CFT) is used to prevent power dissipation in the MOSFET from exceeding the SOA rating during active current limit. A good way to determine a suitable value for CFT is to superimpose the foldback current limit profile shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics on the MOSFET data sheet's SOA curves. For the SiR818DP MOSFET, this exercise yields the plot in Figure 6. 100 IDM LIMITED ID - DRAIN CURRENT (A) Assuming a forward drop, VFWD of 50mV across the ideal diode MOSFET: 1ms 10 10ms ID LIMITED 1 100ms LIMITED BY RDS(ON)* 1s MOSFET POWER DISSIPATION CURVE RESULTING FROM FOLDBACK ACTIVE CURRENT LIMIT 0.1 0.01 0.01 10s DC BVDSS LIMITED 0.1 1 10 VDS - DRAIN-TO-SOURCE VOLTAGE (V) 100 4229 F06 * VGS > MINIMUM VGSAT WHICH RDS(ON) IS SPECIFIED Figure 6. SiR818DP SOA with Design Example MOSFET Power Dissipation Superimposed As can be seen, the LTC4229's foldback current limit profile roughly coincides with the 100ms SOA contour. Since this SOA plot is for an ambient temperature of 25C only, a maximum fault filter time of much less than 100ms should be considered, such as 10ms or less. Selecting a 0.1F 10% value for CFT yields a maximum fault filter time of 1.75ms which should be small enough to protect the MOSFET during any overcurrent fault scenario. Next, select the values for the resistive divider at the OV and UV pins that define the overvoltage and undervoltage threshold of 15.2V and 9.8V respectively for the 12V input supply. Since the leakage currents for the OV and UV pins can be as high as 1A each, the total resistance in the divider should be low enough to minimize the resulting For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 4229f 17 LTC4229 Applications Information offset errors. Calculate the bottom resistor R1 based on the following equation to obtain less than 0.5% error due to leakage current. V 1.235V OV(TH) * 0.5% = R1= * 0.5% = 3k 2A 2 *IIN(LEAK) Choose R1 to be 2k to achieve less than 0.5% error and calculating R2/R3 yields: V 15.2V IN(OV) R2 = - 1 * R1= - 1 * 2k = 1.1k 9.8V VIN(UV) V IN(UV) - 1 * (R1+R2) R3 = VUV(TH) 9.8V R3 = - 1 * (2k + 1.1k) = 21.5k 1.235V The worst case OV and UV threshold offset voltage errors resulting from the total UV and OV pin leakage current (2 * IIN(LEAK)) that flows into R3, are calculated as 0.29% and 0.44% respectively. It remains to select the values for the FB pin resistive divider in order to set a power good threshold of 10.5V. Keeping in mind the FB pin's 1A leakage current, choose CURRENT FLOW TO LOAD IN W a value of 2k for the bottom resistor R4. Calculating the top resistor R5 value yields: V 10.5V OUT(PG) R5 = - 1 * R4 = - 1 * 2k = 15k 1.235V VFB(TH) The subsequent offset error due to the FB pin leakage current will be less than 0.14%. The final component to consider is a 0.1F bypass (C1) at the INTVCC pin. PCB Layout Considerations To achieve accurate current sensing, a Kelvin connection for the sense resistor is recommended. The PCB layout should be balanced and symmetrical to minimize wiring errors. In addition, the PCB layout for the sense resistor and the power MOSFET should include good thermal management techniques for optimal device power dissipation. A recommended PCB layout is illustrated in Figure 7. Connect the IN and OUT pin traces as close as possible to the MOSFET's terminals. Keep the traces to the MOSFETs wide and short to minimize resistive losses. The PCB traces associated with the power path through the MOSFETs should have low resistance.

Note that the sheet resistance of 1oz copper foil is approximately 0.5m/square, and voltage drops due to trace resistance add up quickly in high current applications. It is also important to place the bypass capacitor C1 for the INTVCC pin, as close as possible between INTVCC and GND. Also place C2 near the CPO and DSRC pins. The transient voltage suppressor Z1, when used, should be mounted close to the LTC4229 using short lead lengths. Flexible Configuration for Ideal Diode and Hot Swap MOSFET The LTC4229 offers the flexibility to swap the ordering of the MD and MH N-channel MOSFETs for the ideal diode and Hot Swap control respectively between the supply and load side. Figure 8 shows a configuration that allows two input supplies to be diode-ORed at SENSE+ pin followed by Hot Swap control for a card-resident application. For applications where the LTC4229 resides on the backplane, the two supplies are diode-ORed at the output as shown in Figures 9 and 10. Figure 11 depicts an application where placing the MD MOSFET downstream of the MH MOSFET allows a dedicated bypass capacitor to keep alive its small load after power is removed at the input. Unlike the circuit in Figure 9 where the SENSE+ pin is protected from momentary negative input transients by the ideal diode, the loads in Figures 10 and 11 are much more susceptible to brownouts. This is because input transients that dip below the SENSE+ pin's 1.9V UVLO threshold can cause the HGATE pin to pull low thus discharging the MH MOSFET's gate capacitance as well as any external capacitance which can result in a lengthy recovery time for the Hot Swap controller. Since the LTC4229's ideal diode and Hot Swap controllers operate independently, the MD and MH MOSFETs can also be configured to operate on two different supplies at the same time as shown in Figure 12. If one of the supplies is not available, the LTC4229 will continue to operate with the remaining supply since the internal INTVCC regulator is powered from an internal diode-OR of the IN, SENSE+ and OUT pins. Power Prioritizer Figure 14 shows an application where either of two supplies is passed to the output on the basis of priority, rather than simply allowing the highest voltage to prevail. The 5V primary supply (VIN1) is passed to the output whenever it is available; power is drawn from the 12V backup supply (VIN2) only when the primary supply is unavailable. As long as VIN1 is above the 4.7V threshold set by the R6-R7 divider at the DOFF pin, back-to-back ideal diode MOSFETs, MD1 and MD2, are turned off, allowing VIN1 to be connected to the output through MD3 that is controlled by another ideal diode controller LTC4352. The common source terminals of MD1 and MD2 are connected to DSRC pin, which allows the body-diode of MD1 to reverse block the current flow from the higher backup supply (VIN2) to the output. If the primary supply fails and VIN1 drops below 4.3V, DOFF is allowed to turn on MD1 and MD2, and connect the VIN2 to the output. When VIN1 returns to a viable voltage, MD1 and MD2 turn off, and the output is connected to VIN1. Adding R8 in the R6-R7 divider and bypassing it with DSTAT pin control, allows the DOFF pin hysteresis to be increased from 20mV to 100mV. The resistive divider at OV and UV pins set the SENSE+ overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds to 15V and 4.1V respectively. Hot Swap Followed by Ideal Diode Application Figure 15 shows an application whereby the Hot Swap MOSFET is placed on the supply side and the ideal diode MOSFET on the load side with the source terminals connected together. The ideal diode voltage is sensed across MD at IN and DSNS pins. If the 12V power supply is connected, it supplies power to the load and also charges up the standby battery cell at SENSE+ through MH and R6 as MD is turned off. If the power supply is disconnected, the power to the load is provided by the standby battery as MD turns on. Since the LTC4229's internal 12V clamp only limits the HGATE-to-OUT pin voltage, the gate-tosource breakdown voltage of the Hot Swap MOSFET can be exceeded when the input is connected to ground. An external Zener diode clamp is required between the GATE and SOURCE pins of the MOSFET to prevent it from breaking down. 4229f For more information www.linear.com/LTC4229 19 LTC4229 Applications Information D1 VIN2 RS MD VIN1 MH VOUT C2 CL DSRC IN DGATE DSNS SENSE+ SENSE- HGATE OUT CPO LTC4229 GND DCFG INTVCC 4229 F08 C1 Figure 8.
