The LTC

1421/LTC1421-2.5 are Hot Swap

controllers

that allow a board to be safely inserted and removed from a

live backplane. Using external N-channel pass transistors,

the board supply voltages can be ramped up at a program-

mable rate. Two high side switch drivers control the N-

channel gates for supply voltages ranging from 3V to 12V.

A programmable electronic circuit breaker protects against

shorts. Warning signals indicate that the circuit breaker

has tripped, a power failure has occurred or that the switch

drivers are turned off. The reset output can be used to

generate a system reset when the power cycles or a fault

occurs. The two connect inputs can be used with stag-

gered connector pins to indicate board insertion or re-

moval. The power-on reset input can be used to cycle the

board power or clear the circuit breaker.

The trip point of the ground sense comparator is set at

0.1V for LTC1421 and 2.5V for LTC1421-2.5.

The LTC1421/LTC1421-2.5 are available in 24-pin SO and

SSOP packages.

PIN FUNCTIONS

UUU

CON1 (Pin 1): TTL Level Input with a Pull-Up to V

CCLO

Together with CON2, it is used to indicate board connec-

tion. The pin must be tied to ground on the host side of the

connector. When using staggered connector pins, CON1

and CON2 must be the shortest and must be placed at

opposite corners of the connector. Board insertion is

assumed after CON1 and CON2 are both held low for 20ms

after power-up.

CON2 (Pin 2):

TTL Level Input with a Pull-Up to V

CCLO

Together with CON1 it is used to indicate board connec-

tion.

POR (Pin 3): TTL Level Input with a Pull-Up to V

CCLO

When the pin is pulled low for at least 20ms, a hard reset

is generated. Both V

OUTLO

and V

OUTHI

will turn off at a

controlled rate. A power-up sequence will not start until

the POR pin is pulled high. If POR is pulled high before

OUTLO

and V

OUTHI

are fully discharged, a power-up

sequence will not begin until the voltage at V

OUTLO

and

OUTHI

are below V

TRIP

. The electronic circuit breaker will

be reset by pulling POR low.

FAULT (Pin 4): Open Drain Output to GND with a Weak

Pull-Up to V

CCLO

. The pin is pulled low when an overcur-

rent fault is detected at V

OUTLO

or V

OUTHI

DISABLE (Pin 5): CMOS Output. The signal is used to

disable the board’s data bus during insertion or removal.

PWRGD (Pin 6): Open Drain Output to GND with a Weak

Pull-Up to V

CCLO

. The pin is pulled low immediately after

OUTLO

falls below its reset threshold voltage. The pin is

pulled high immediately after V

OUTLO

rises above its reset

threshold voltage.

RESET (Pin 7):

Open Drain Output to GND with a Weak

Pull-Up to V

CCLO

. The pin is pulled low when a reset

condition is detected. A reset will be generated when any

of the following conditions are met: Either CON1 or CON2

is high, POR is pulled low, V

CCLO

or V

CCHI

are below their

respective undervoltage lockout thresholds, PWRGD goes

low or an overcurrent fault is detected at V

OUTLO

OUTHI

. RESET will go high 200ms after PWRGD goes

high. On power failure, RESET will go low 32µs after

PWRGD goes low.

OUT

= 1.232V

±1%. The reference can source up to 5mA of current. A

1µF bypass capacitor is recommended.

CPON (Pin 9): CMOS Output That Can Be Pulled Below

Ground. CPON is pulled high when the internal charge

pumps for GATELO and GATEHI are turned on. CPON is

pulled low when the charge pumps are turned off. The pin

can be used to control an external MOSFET for a –5V to

–12V supply.

PIN FUNCTIONS

UUU

RAMP (Pin 10): Analog Power-Up Ramp Control Pin. By

connecting an external capacitor between the RAMP and

GATEHI, a positive linear voltage ramp on GATEHI and

GATELO is generated on power-up with a slope equal to

20µA/C

RAMP

. A 10k resistor in series with the capacitor

enhances the ESD performance at the GATEHI pin.

FB (Pin 11): Analog Feedback Input. FB is used to set the

reset threshold voltage on V

COMP– (Pin 14): Inverting Comparator Input.

COMPOUT (Pin 15): Open Drain Comparator Output.

OUTHI

(Pin 16): High Supply Voltage Output. This must be

the higher of the two supply voltage outputs.

GATEHI (Pin 17): The High Side Gate Drive for the High

Supply N-Channel. An internal charge pump guarantees at

least 6V of gate drive. The slope of the voltage rise at

GATEHI is set by the external capacitor connected between

GATEHI and RAMP. When the circuit breaker trips, GATEHI

is immediately pulled to GND.

SETHI (Pin 18): The Circuit Breaker Set Pin for the High

Supply. With a sense resistor placed in the supply path

between V

CCHI

and SETHI, the circuit breaker will trip when

the voltage across the resistor exceeds 50mV for more

than 20µs. To disable the circuit breaker, V

CCHI

and SETHI

should be shorted together.

CCHI

(Pin 19): The Positive Supply Input. This must be the

higher of the two input supply voltages. An undervoltage

lockout circuit disables the chip until the voltage at V

CCHI

is greater than 2.45V.

OUTLO

(Pin 20): Low Supply Voltage Output. This must be

the lower of the two supply voltage outputs.

GATELO (Pin 21): The High Side Gate Drive for the Low

Supply N-Channel Pass Transistor. An internal charge

pump guarantees at least 10V of gate drive. The slope of

the voltage rise at GATELO is set by the external capacitor

connected between GATEHI and RAMP. When the circuit

breaker trips GATELO is immediately pulled to GND.

SETLO (Pin 22): The Circuit Breaker Set Pin for the Low

Supply. With a sense resistor placed in the supply path

between V

CCLO

and SETLO, the circuit breaker will trip

when the voltage across the resistor exceeds 50mV for

more than 20µs. To disable the circuit breaker, V

CCLO

and

SETLO should be shorted together.

CCLO

(Pin 23): The Positive Supply Input. V

must be

equal to or lower voltage than V

CCLO

is greater than 2.45V.

GATEHI discharge circuitry. Connect a 1µF capacitor to

ground. AUXV

is powered from V

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

WUUU

Hot Circuit Insertion

When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, the

supply bypass capacitors on the board can draw huge

transient currents from the backplane power bus as they

charge up. The transient currents can cause permanent

damage to the connector pins and cause glitches on the

system supply, causing other boards in the system to

reset. At the same time, the system data bus can be

disrupted when the board’s data pins make or break

connection.

The LTC1421 is designed to turn a board’s supply voltages

on and off in a controlled manner, allowing the board to be

safely inserted or removed from a live backplane. The chip

also provides a disable signal for the board’s data bus

buffer during insertion or removal and provides all the

necessary supply supervisory functions for the board.

Power Supply Ramping

The power supplies on a board are controlled by placing

external N-channel pass transistors in the power path

(Figure 3). R1 and R2 provide current fault detection. By

ramping the gate of the pass transistor up at a controlled

rate, the transient surge current (I = C • dV/dt) drawn from

the main backplane supply can be limited to a safe value

when the board makes connection.

pulled down by two internal NFETs.

A negative supply voltage can be controlled using the

CPON pin as shown in Figure 5.

When the board makes connection, the transistor Q3 is

turned off because it’s gate is pulled low to –12V by R4.

CPON is also pulled to –12V. When the charge pump is

turned on, CPON is pulled to V

CCLO

and the gate of Q3 will

ramp up with a time constant determined by R4, R5 and

C2. When the charge pump is turned off, CPON goes into

a high impedance state, the gate of Q3 is discharged to V

with a time constant determined by R4 and C2, and Q3

turns off.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

WUUU

PWRGD and RESET

The LTC1421 uses a 1.232V bandgap reference, internal

resistive divider and a precision voltage comparator to

monitor V

OUTLO

(Figure 6).

The reset threshold voltage for V

OUTLO

is determined by

the FB pin connection as summarized in Table 1.

When V

OUTLO

drops below its reset threshold, the com-

parator output goes high, and PWRGD is immediately

pulled low (time point 2). After a 32µs delay, RESET is

pulled low. The RESET delay allows the PWRGD signal to

be used as an early warning that a reset is about to occur.

If the PWRGD signal is used as a interrupt input to a

microprocessor, a short power-down routine can be run

before the reset occurs.

If V

OUTLO

rises above the reset threshold for less than

200ms, the PWRGD output will trip, but the RESET output is

not affected (time point 3). If V

OUTLO

drops below the reset

threshold for less than 32µs, the PWRGD output will trip, but

again the RESET output will not be affected (time point 5).

Voltage Comparator

The uncommitted voltage comparator (COMP2) can be

used to monitor output voltages other than V

OUTLO

. Figure

8a shows how the comparator can be used to monitor a

12V supply (V

OUTHI

), while the 5V supply (V

OUTLO

) gener-

ates a reset when it dips below 4.65V. When the 12V

supply drops below 10.8V, COMPOUT will pull low. The FB

pin is left floating.

Figure 8b shows how the comparator can be used to

monitor the 5V supply (V

OUTHI

) while the 3.3V supply

OUTLO

) generates a reset when it dips below 2.9V. When

the 5V supply drops below 4.65V, COMPOUT will pull low.

A 5.1k resistor is tied from the FB pin to V

OUTLO

, setting the

internal threshold to about 2.9V. The new reset threshold

voltage is set by the external resistive divider connected to

COMP2. When V

OUTLO

drops below the new threshold,

COMPOUT pulls FB to ground, changing the internal

threshold at COMP1 to 5.88V and generating a reset.

Finally, the comparator may be used to monitor a negative

supply as shown in Figure 8e. The external resistor divider

Figure 8c shows how the comparator can be used to

generate a reset when the 12V supply (V

OUTHI

) drops

below 10.8V. The 5V supply (V

OUTLO

) also generates a

reset when it dips below 4.65V. When the 12V supply

drops below 10.8V, COMPOUT will pull the FB pin low

setting the internal threshold voltage for comparator 1 to

5.88V. Since V

OUTLO

is less than 5.88V, PWRGD immedi-

ately goes low and a reset is generated 32µs later.

Soft Reset Generation

A soft reset that doesn’t cycle the supply voltage can be

generated externally using Pin 11 (FB) as shown in Figure

9. For a 5V supply the FB pin is left floating to set the

internal supply monitor trip voltage to 4.65V. However, if

the FB pin is pulled to ground for more than 32µs via a push

button or open-collector logic gate, the internal trip point

will go to 5.88V and the RESET pin will pull low. RESET will

remain low for 200ms after the FB pin is released. The

RESET signal will also be pulled low when the voltage at

the V

OUTLO

pin dips below 4.65V for more than 32µs.

When using a 3.3V supply, a 1k resistor must be con-

nected from the FB pin to V

to set the internal trip point

to 2.90V.

sense resistor is greater than 50mV for more than 20µs.

When the circuit breaker trips, both N-channel MOSFETs

are quickly turned off, FAULT and PWRGD go low and

RESET is pulled low 32µs later. FAULT can be connected

to a LED or a logic signal back to the host to indicate a faulty

board. The chip will remain in the tripped state until a

power-on reset is generated, or the power on V

CCHI

and

CCLO

is cycled. If the circuit breaker feature is not used,

short V

If more than 20µs of response time is needed to reject

supply noise, an external resistor and capacitor can be

added to the sense circuit as shown in Figure 10.

Electronic Circuit Breaker

tion that protects against short circuits or excessive cur-

rents on the supplies. By placing a sense resistor between

Auxiliary V

When a short circuit occurs on the board, it is possible to

draw enough current to cause the backplane supply

voltage to collapse. If the input supply voltage collapses to

a low enough voltage and the LTC1421 gate drive circuitry

is unable to shut off the N-channel pass transistors, the

system might freeze up in a permanent short condition.

To prevent this from occurring, the gate discharge cir-

cuitry inside the LTC1421 is powered from AUXV

which is in turn powered from V

CCLO

through an internal

Schottky diode and current limiting resistor (Figure 11).

LTC1421/LTC1421-2.5

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

WUUU

When V

CCLO

collapses, there is enough energy stored on

the 1µF capacitor connected to AUXV

to keep the gate

discharge circuitry alive long enough to fully turn off the

external N-channels.

Power N-Channel Selection

The R

DS(ON)

of the external pass transistor must be low

enough so that the voltage drop across it is about 200mV

or less at full current. If the R

DS(ON)

is too high, the voltage

drop across the transistor might cause the output voltage

to trip the reset circuit. Table 2 lists the transistors that are

recommended for use with the LTC1421.

Data Bus

When a board is inserted or removed from the host, care

must be given to prevent the system data bus from being

corrupted when the data pins make or break contact. One

problem is that the fully discharged input or output capaci-

tance of the logic gates on the board will draw an inrush

current when the data bus pins first make contact. The

inrush current can temporarily corrupt the data bus, but

usually will not cause long term damage. The problem can

be minimized by insuring the input or output data bus

capacitance is kept as small as possible.

The second, and more serious problem involves the

diodes to V

at the input and output of most logic families

(Figure 12).

With the board initially unpowered, the V

logic gate is at ground potential. When the data bus pins

make contact, the bus line is clamped to ground through

the input diode D1 to V

flow through the diode and cause the logic gate to latch up

and destroy itself when the power is finally applied. This

board supply voltage ramps up and RESET goes high,

DISABLE will pull low enabling the switches.

Board Insertion Timing

When the board is inserted, GND pin makes contact first,

followed by V

CCHI

and V

CCLO

(Figure 14, time point 1).

DISABLE is immediately pulled high, so the data bus

switch is disabled. At the same time CON1 and CON2 make

contact and are shorted to ground on the host side (time

point 3). Since most boards need to be rocked back and

forth to get them in place, there is a period of time when

only one side of the connector is making contact. CON1

and CON2 should be located at opposite ends of the

connector.

can usually be prevented by using logic that does not

include the clamping diodes such as the QSI 74FCTT

family from Quality Semiconductor, or by using a data bus

switch such as the 10-bit QS3384 QuickSwitch also from

Quality Semiconductor (Tel: 408-450-8000). The

QuickSwitch bus switch contains an N-channel placed in

series with the data bus. The switch is turned off when the

board is inserted and then enabled after the power is

stable. The switch inputs and outputs do not have a

parasitic diode back to V

and have very low capacitance.

The LTC1421 is designed to work directly with the

QuickSwitch bus switch as shown in Figure 13.

The DISABLE signal is connected to the enable pins of the

QS3384, and each switch is placed in series with a data

bus signal. When the board is inserted, the DISABLE

When CON1 and CON2 are both forced to ground for more

than 20ms, the LTC1421 assumes that the board is fully

connected to the host and power-up can begin. When

CCLO

exceed the 2.45V undervoltage lockout

threshold, the 20µA current reference is connected from

RAMP to GND, the charge pumps are turned on and CPON

begin to

ramp up. When V

OUTLO

exceeds the reset threshold volt-

age, PWRGD will immediately be forced high (time point

5). After a 200ms delay, RESET will be pulled high and

DISABLE will be pulled low, enabling the data bus (time

point 6).

Ground Sense Comparator

When POR is pulled low for more than 20ms, GATELO and

GATEHI are pulled to ground and V

OUTLO

and V

OUTHI

will

be discharged. If POR is pulled back high while V

OUTLO

and V

OUTHI

are still ramping down, the discharge will

continue. When they drop below the V

TRIP

point, a power-

up sequence will begin automatically. The trip point poten-

tial for LTC1421 is set at 0.1V and 2.5V for LTC1421-2.5.

In applications, where either V

OUTLO

or V

OUTHI

might be

forced above 100mV before power-up, the LTC1421-2.5

should be used. This could occur when leakage through

the body diode of the logic chips keeps V

OUTLO

high or in

the case where logic lines are precharged.

In other applications, where outputs need to drop to near

ground potential before ramping up again to ensure proper

initial state for the logic chips, the LTC1421 should be

used.

Power-On Reset Timing

The POR input is used to completely cycle the power

supplies on the board or to reset the electronic circuit

breaker feature. The POR pin can be connected to a

grounded push button, toggle switch or a logic signal

from the host. When POR is pulled low for more than

20ms, a power-on reset sequence begins (Figure 15,

low (time point 3) followed by RESET and DISABLE 32µs

later (time point 4). Both supplies will be discharged to

ground and stay there until POR is pulled high.

The circuit breaker can be reset by pulling POR low. After

POR is low for more than 20ms, the chip will immediately

try to power up the supplies once the outputs are below the

TRIP

point.

Circuit Breaker Timing

The waveforms for the circuit when a short occurs on

either supply during board insertion are shown in

Figure 16. Time points 1 to 4 are the same as the board

insertion example, but at time point 5, a short circuit is

detected on one of the supplies. The charge pumps are

immediately turned off, the outputs V

OUTHI

and V

OUTLO

are

actively pulled to GND and the CPON and FAULT pins are

pulled low. At time point 6, the circuit breaker is reset by

pulling POR low. After POR has been low for 20ms (time

point 7), CPON and FAULT are pulled high, the 20µA

reference current is connected to RAMP and the charge

pumps are enabled. V

OUTHI

and V

OUTLO

ramp up at a

controlled rate. When V

has exceeded its reset

threshold, the PWRGD signal is pulled high (time point 8).

After a 200ms delay, RESET is pulled high and DISABLE

goes low.

When the board is removed from the host, the sequence

turned off, CPON is pulled low. V

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

WUUU

5V Only Applications

The LTC1421 may be used in 5V only applications as shown

in Figure 18. A soft reset can be generated from the

backplane via an open-collector inverter driving the FB (Pin

11) or by a push button to ground. A hard power reset is

generated from the backplane via an open-collector inverter

driving the POR (Pin 3). A hard reset cycles the power on

the board or resets the electronic circuit breaker. The

comparator is used to monitor the board supply voltage and

will pull the POWERGOOD signal low as long as the supply

remains above 4.65V. Note that a soft reset will not affect

the POWERGOOD signal. The FAULT signal is also moni-

tored to determine that the circuit breaker has tripped.

–48V and 24V Applications

The LTC1421 may be used in –48V applications as shown

in Figure 19. The LTC1421 provides the hot insertion

protection, while the 5V supply is generated by a power

Figure 23 shows how to use the LTC1421 with a 5V supply

and an LTC1430CS8 synchronous step-down switching

regulator to generate 3.3V output at up to 10A for micro-

processors. Resistors R4, R8 and R9 set the turn-on

voltage at 4.8V and the turn-off at 4.25V. Pushbutton

switch S1 provides users a way to reset the output while

S2 is used to soft-reset the microprocessor only.

Figure 24 shows how to use the LTC1421 with a 5V supply

and a –48V supply that is used to generate a ±12V supply

using a supply module. Resistors R3 and R4 are used to

monitor the input voltage to the supply module. The

module is prevented from turning on via the optoisolator

until the input voltage reaches –36V. Zener diode D2

prevents the CPON pin of the LTC1421 from being dam-

aged by excessive voltage.

Figure 25 shows how to use the LTC1421 to do overvolt-

age protection. Resistors R3 and R4 set the trip point at

7V. When the input supply voltage rises above 7V, Q2 is

turned on and Q1 turned off while Q3 helps to discharge

the output voltage.

Figure 26 shows how to use the LTC1421 to control both

the power-up and power-down sequence of the outputs.

The 5V output would be powered up first followed by the

3V output. At power-down sequence, the 3V output would

go down first followed by the 5V supply.

Figure 27 shows how to use the LTC1421 to switch 3.3V,

5V, 12V and –12V supplies for PCI application. The ramp-

up rate for 3.3V, 5V and 12V is determined by the ramp

capacitor C2 while the –12V supply is controlled by R7 and

C3. The internal comparator is being used to do the

overcurrent protection for Q4 with the trip point set by

resistors R6 and R8. The –12V supply does not have

overcurrent protection. R10 is used to set the power good

signal trip point at 10V. When the 12V output rises above

10V, the PCI controller gets a power good signal followed

by RESET after 200ms.

module. The ground pin for the LTC1421 is connected to

–48V; Zener diode D1 and resistor R1 provide the positive

supply for the chip. Bypass capacitor C4 is protected

against inrush current by P-channel Q1. When the board

is inserted into the backplane, transistor Q1 is turned off

by resistor R2. When the connection sense pins, CON1

and CON2 have been connected to –48V for more than

20ms, CPON pulls high turning on Q2 and the gate of Q1

starts to pull low with a time constant determined by R2,

R3 and C3. At the same time, the voltage at the input to the

power module starts to ramp up. When the voltage across

the inputs to the power module reaches the comparator

trip level set by R5 and R6, in this case –32V, the

comparator output pulls high and turns on the 5V supply.

A cheaper solution is shown in Figure 20 using the

1170HV switcher. Again P-channel transistor Q1 pro-

tects the bypass capacitors against inrush current and

resistors R5 and R6 set the comparator trip voltage. The

LT1170HV is turned on via the V

pin. Resistors R11, R14

and transistor Q4 provide a monitoring path for the RESET

signal which is level shifted up to 5V through an optoiso-

lator.

The P-channel power FET is being replaced by an

N-channel FET in Figure 21 for the –48V application.

Again, Zener Diode D1 and resistor R1 provide the positive

supply for the chip. Capacitor C1 is to insure Q1 stays off

when the board is being hot inserted into the backplane.

The resistor divider R2 and R3, along with the internal

comparator, perform the undervoltage lock out function.

Q1 would only be turned on when the input supply voltage

is lower than –42V. The power module would then be

turned on by the optoisolator, 4N25, when the module’s

input voltage reaches 47V.

Figure 22 shows how to use the LTC1421 with a 24V

supply and a LT1074CT step-down switcher. Resistors R5

and R6 set the turn-on threshold to 22V. All of the

supervisory signals can be used without level shifting.
