Pin Functions

PIN I/O DESCRIPTION
NO. NAME
1 SENSE I Current sense input: The voltage across the current sense resistor (RS) is measured from VIN to this pin. If the voltage across RS reaches 55 mV the load current is limited and the fault timer activates.
2 VIN I Positive supply input: A small ceramic bypass capacitor close to this pin is recommended to suppress transients which occur when the load current is switched off.
3 UVLO I Undervoltage lockout: An external resistor divider from the system input voltage sets the undervoltage turnon threshold. An internal 21-µA current source provides hysteresis. The enable threshold at the pin is 2.5 V. This pin can also be used for remote shutdown control.
4 OVLO I Overvoltage lockout: An external resistor divider from the system input voltage sets the overvoltage turnoff threshold. An internal 21-µA current source provides hysteresis. The disable threshold at the pin is 2.5 V.
5 GND — Circuit ground
6 TIMER I/O Timing capacitor: An external capacitor connected to this pin sets the insertion time delay and the fault timeout period. The capacitor also sets the restart timing of the LM5069-2.
7 PWR I Power limit set: An external resistor connected to this pin, in conjunction with the current sense resistor (RS), sets the maximum power dissipation allowed in the external series pass MOSFET.
8 PGD O Power Good indicator: An open drain output. When the external MOSFET VDS decreases below 1.25 V, the PGD indicator is active (high). When the external MOSFET VDS increases above 2.5 V the PGD indicator switches low.
9 OUT I Output feedback: Connect to the output rail (external MOSFET source). Internally used to determine the MOSFET VDS voltage for power limiting, and to control the PGD indicator.
10 GATE O Gate drive output: Connect to the external MOSFET’s gate. This pin's voltage is typically 12 V above the OUT pin when enabled.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and specifications.
(3) The GATE pin voltage is typically 12 V above VIN when the LM5069 is enabled. Therefore, the Absolute Maximum Ratings for VIN
(100 V) applies only when the LM5069 is disabled, or for a momentary surge to that voltage because the Absolute Maximum Rating for the GATE pin is also 100 V.
(4) Select external MOSFET with VGS(th) voltage higher than VOUT during -ve transient. This avoids MOSFET getting turned-ON during -ve transient.

7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The inline protection functionality of the LM5069 is designed to control the in-rush current to the load upon insertion of a circuit card into a live backplane or other hot power source, thereby limiting the voltage sag on the backplane's supply voltage and the dV/dt of the voltage applied to the load. Effects on other circuits in the system are minimized, preventing possible unintended resets. A controlled shutdown when the circuit card is removed can also be implemented using the LM5069.

In addition to a programmable current limit, the LM5069 monitors and limits the maximum power dissipation in the series pass device to maintain operation within the device Safe Operating Area (SOA). Either current limiting or power limiting for an extended period of time results in the shutdown of the series pass device. In this event, the LM5069-1 latches off while the LM5069-2 retries an infinite number of times to recover after the fault is removed. The circuit breaker function quickly switches off the series pass device upon detection of a severe overcurrent condition. Programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and overvoltage lockout (OVLO) circuits shut down the LM5069 when the system input voltage is outside the desired operating range.

7.2 Functional Block Diagram

LM5069 20197210.gif

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Current Limit

The current limit threshold is reached when the voltage across the sense resistor RS (VIN to SENSE) reaches
55 mV. In the current limiting condition, the GATE voltage is controlled to limit the current in MOSFET Q1. While the current limit circuit is active, the fault timer is active as described in Fault Timer and Restart. If the load current falls below the current limit threshold before the end of the fault timeout period, the LM5069 resumes normal operation. For proper operation, the RS resistor value must be no larger than 100 mΩ.

7.3.2 Circuit Breaker

If the load current increases rapidly (for example, the load is short-circuited) the current in the sense resistor (RS) may exceed the current limit threshold before the current limit control loop is able to respond. If the current exceeds twice the current limit threshold (105 mV/RS), Q1 is quickly switched off by the 230-mA pulldown current at the GATE pin, and a fault timeout period begins. When the voltage across RS falls below 105 mV the 230-mA pulldown current at the GATE pin is switched off, and the gate voltage of Q1 is then determined by the current limit or the power limit functions. If the TIMER pin reaches 4 V before the current limiting or power limiting condition ceases, Q1 is switched off by the 2-mA pulldown current at the GATE pin as described in Fault Timer and Restart.

7.3.3 Power Limit

An important feature of the LM5069 is the MOSFET power limiting. The Power Limit function can be used to maintain the maximum power dissipation of MOSFET Q1 within the device SOA rating. The LM5069 determines the power dissipation in Q1 by monitoring its drain-source voltage (SENSE to OUT), and the drain current through the sense resistor (VIN to SENSE). The product of the current and voltage is compared to the power limit threshold programmed by the resistor at the PWR pin. If the power dissipation reaches the limiting threshold, the GATE voltage is modulated to reduce the current in Q1. While the power limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is active as described in Fault Timer and Restart.

7.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

The series pass MOSFET (Q1) is enabled when the input supply voltage (VSYS) is within the operating range defined by the programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and overvoltage lockout (OVLO) levels. Typically the UVLO level at VSYS is set with a resistor divider (R1-R3) as shown in Figure 30. When VSYS is below the UVLO level, the internal 21-µA current source at UVLO is enabled, the current source at OVLO is off, and Q1 is held off by the
2-mA pulldown current at the GATE pin. As VSYS is increased, raising the voltage at UVLO above 2.5 V, the
21-µA current source at UVLO is switched off, increasing the voltage at UVLO, providing hysteresis for this threshold. With the UVLO pin above 2.5 V, Q1 is switched on by the 16-µA current source at the GATE pin if the insertion time delay has expired (Figure 22). See Application and Implementation for a procedure to calculate the values of the threshold setting resistors (R1-R3). The minimum possible UVLO level at VSYS can be set by connecting the UVLO pin to VIN. In this case Q1 is enabled when the VIN voltage reaches the POREN threshold.

7.3.5 Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO)

The series pass MOSFET (Q1) is enabled when the input supply voltage (VSYS) is within the operating range defined by the programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and overvoltage lockout (OVLO) levels. If VSYS raises the OVLO pin voltage above 2.5 V, Q1 is switched off by the 2-mA pulldown current at the GATE pin, denying power to the load. When the OVLO pin is above 2.5 V, the internal 21-µA current source at OVLO is switched on, raising the voltage at OVLO to provide threshold hysteresis. When VSYS is reduced below the OVLO level Q1 is enabled. See Application and Implementation for a procedure to calculate the threshold setting resistor values.

7.3.6 Power Good Pin

During turnon, the Power Good pin (PGD) is high until the voltage at VIN increases above ≊ 5 V. PGD then switches low, remaining low as the VIN voltage increases. When the voltage at OUT increases to within 1.25 V of the SENSE pin (VDS <1.25 V), PGD switches high. PGD switches low if the VDS of Q1 increases above 2.5 V. A pullup resistor is required at PGD as shown in Figure 20. The pullup voltage (VPGD) can be as high as 80 V, with transient capability to 100 V, and can be higher or lower than the voltages at VIN and OUT.

LM5069 20197251.gifFigure 20. Power Good Output

If a delay is required at PGD, suggested circuits are shown in Figure 21. In Figure 21a, capacitor CPG adds delay to the rising edge, but not to the falling edge. In Figure 21b, the rising edge is delayed by RPG1 + RPG2 and CPG, while the falling edge is delayed a lesser amount by RPG2 and CPG. Adding a diode across RPG2 (Figure 21c) allows for equal delays at the two edges, or a short delay at the rising edge and a long delay at the falling edge.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

The LM5069 hot swap controller has a power up sequence which can be broken down into 3x distinct sections: Insertion Time, In-Rush Limiting, and Normal Operation. Once the device reaches normal operation, the GATE and TIMER behavior depends on whether a fault condition is present or not on the output.

7.4.1 Power Up Sequence

The VIN operating range of the LM5069 is 9 V to 80 V, with a transient capability to 100 V. See Functional Block Diagram and Figure 22, as the voltage at VIN initially increases, the external N-channel MOSFET (Q1) is held off by an internal 230-mA pulldown current at the GATE pin. The strong pulldown current at the GATE pin prevents an inadvertent turnon as the MOSFET’s gate-to-drain (Miller) capacitance is charged. Additionally, the TIMER pin is initially held at ground. When the VIN voltage reaches the PORIT threshold (7.6 V) the insertion time begins. During the insertion time, the capacitor at the TIMER pin (CT) is charged by a 5.5-µA current source, and Q1 is held off by a 2-mA pulldown current at the GATE pin regardless of the VIN voltage. The insertion time delay allows ringing and transients at VIN to settle before Q1 can be enabled. The insertion time ends when the TIMER pin voltage reaches 4 V. CT is then quickly discharged by an internal 1.5-mA pulldown current. After the insertion time, the LM5069 control circuitry is enabled when VIN reaches the POREN threshold (8.4 V). The GATE pin then switches on Q1 when VSYS exceeds the UVLO threshold (UVLO pin >2.5 V). If VSYS is above the UVLO threshold at the end of the insertion time, Q1 switches on at that time. The GATE pin charge pump sources 16 µA to charge Q1’s gate capacitance. The maximum gate-to-source voltage of Q1 is limited by an internal 12-V Zener diode.

As the voltage at the OUT pin increases, the LM5069 monitors the drain current and power dissipation of MOSFET Q1. In-rush current limiting and/or power limiting circuits actively control the current delivered to the load. During the in-rush limiting interval (t2 in Figure 22) an internal 85-µA fault timer current source charges CT. If Q1’s power dissipation and the input current reduce below their respective limiting thresholds before the TIMER pin reaches 4 V, the 85-µA current source is switched off, and CT is discharged by the internal 2.5-µA current sink (t3 in Figure 22). The in-rush limiting interval is complete when the voltage at the OUT pin increases to within 1.25 V of the input voltage (VSYS), and the PGD pin switches high.

If the TIMER pin voltage reaches 4 V before in-rush current limiting or power limiting ceases (during t2), a fault is declared and Q1 is turned off. See Fault Timer and Restart for a complete description of the fault mode.

LM5069 20197213.gifFigure 22. Power-Up Sequence (Current Limit Only)

7.4.2 Gate Control

A charge pump provides internal bias voltage above the output voltage (OUT pin) to enhance the N-Channel MOSFET’s gate. The gate-to-source voltage is limited by an internal 12-V Zener diode. During normal operating conditions (t3 in Figure 22) the gate of Q1 is held charged by an internal 16-µA current source to approximately 12 V above OUT. If the maximum VGS rating of Q1 is less than 12 V, an external Zener diode of lower voltage must be added between the GATE and OUT pins. The external Zener diode must have a forward current rating of at least 250 mA.

When the system voltage is initially applied, the GATE pin is held low by a 230-mA pulldown current. This helps prevent an inadvertent turnon of the MOSFET through its drain-gate capacitance as the applied system voltage increases.

During the insertion time (t1 in Figure 22) the GATE pin is held low by a 2-mA pulldown current. This maintains Q1 in the off-state until the end of t1, regardless of the voltage at VIN or UVLO.

Following the insertion time, during t2 in Figure 22, the gate voltage of Q1 is modulated to keep the current or power dissipation level from exceeding the programmed levels. While in the current or power limiting mode the TIMER pin capacitor is charging. If the current and power limiting cease before the TIMER pin reaches 4 V the TIMER pin capacitor then discharges, and the circuit enters normal operation.

If the in-rush limiting condition persists such that the TIMER pin reached 4 V during t2, the GATE pin is then pulled low by the 2-mA pulldown current. The GATE pin is then held low until either a power-up sequence is initiated (LM5069-1), or until the end of the restart sequence (LM5069-2). See Fault Timer and Restart.

If the system input voltage falls below the UVLO threshold, or rises above the OVLO threshold, the GATE pin is pulled low by the 2-mA pulldown current to switch off Q1.

7.4.3 Fault Timer and Restart

When the current limit or power limit threshold is reached during turnon or as a result of a fault condition, the gate-to-source voltage of Q1 is modulated to regulate the load current and power dissipation. When either limiting function is activated, an 85-µA fault timer current source charges the external capacitor (CT) at the TIMER pin as shown in Figure 25 (fault timeout period). If the fault condition subsides during the fault timeout period before the TIMER pin reaches 4 V, the LM5069 returns to the normal operating mode and CT is discharged by the 2.5-µA current sink. If the TIMER pin reaches 4 V during the fault timeout period, Q1 is switched off by a 2-mA pulldown current at the GATE pin. The subsequent restart procedure then depends on which version of the LM5069 is in use.

The LM5069-1 latches the GATE pin low at the end of the fault timeout period. CT is then discharged to ground by the 2.5-µA fault current sink. The GATE pin is held low by the 2-mA pulldown current until a power-up sequence is externally initiated by cycling the input voltage (VSYS), or momentarily pulling the UVLO pin below 2.5 V with an open-collector or open-drain device as shown in Figure 24. The voltage at the TIMER pin must be <0.3 V for the restart procedure to be effective.

The LM5069-2 provides an automatic restart sequence which consists of the TIMER pin cycling between 4 V and 1.25 V seven times after the fault timeout period, as shown in Figure 25. The period of each cycle is determined by the 85-µA charging current, and the 2.5-µA discharge current, and the value of the capacitor CT. When the TIMER pin reaches 0.3 V during the eighth high-to-low ramp, the 16-µA current source at the GATE pin turns on Q1. If the fault condition is still present, the fault timeout period and the restart cycle repeat.

7.4.4 Shutdown Control

The load current can be remotely switched off by taking the UVLO pin below its 2.5-V threshold with an open collector or open-drain device, as shown in Figure 26. Upon releasing the UVLO pin the LM5069 switches on the load current with in-rush current and power limiting.

8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

The LM5069 is a hot swap controller which is used to manage inrush current and protect in case of faults. When designing a hot swap, three key scenarios must be considered:

  • Start-up
  • Output of a hot swap is shorted to ground when the hot swap is on. This is often referred to as a hot-short.
  • Powering up a board when the output and ground are shorted. This is usually called a start-into-short.

All of these scenarios place a lot of stress on the hot swap MOSFET and thus special care is required when designing the hot swap circuit to keep the MOSFET within its SOA (Safe Operating Area). Detailed design examples are provided in the following sections. Solving all of the equations by hand is cumbersome and can result in errors. Instead, TI recommends using the LM5069 Design Calculator provided on the product page.
