LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Pin Functions (MS/MS8) VEE (Pin 5/Pin 4): Negative Supply Voltage Input. Connect this pin to the negative side of the power supply. GATE (Pin 6/Pin 5): N-Channel MOSFET Gate Drive Output. This pin is pulled high by a 58µA current source. GATE is pulled low by invalid conditions at VIN (UVLO), UV, OV, or a circuit breaker fault timeout. GATE is actively servoed to control the fault current as measured at SENSE. A compensation capacitor at GATE stabilizes this loop.

LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Operation Hot Circuit Insertion Interlock Conditions When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, the supply bypass capacitors can draw huge transient currents from the power bus as they charge. The flow of current damages the connector pins and glitches the power bus, causing other boards in the system to reset.
LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Operation Two modes of operation are possible during the time the MOSFET is first turning on, depending on the values of external components, MOSFET characteristics and nominal design current. One possibility is that the MOSFET will turn on gradually so that the inrush into the load capacitance remains a low value. The output will simply ramp to –48V and the LTC4252 will fully enhance the MOSFET.
LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Applications Information SHUNT REGULATOR Kelvin terminal as illustrated in Figure 3, keeping trace lengths between VIN, CIN, DIN and VEE as short as possible. A fast responding shunt regulator clamps the VIN pin to 13V (VZ). Power is derived from –48RTN by an external current limiting resistor, RIN. A 1µF decoupling capacitor, CIN filters supply transients and contributes a short delay at start-up.
LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Applications Information and R2 = 32.4k gives a typical operating range of 43.2V to 82.5V. The undervoltage shutdown and overvoltage recovery thresholds are then 39.2V and 74.4V. 1% divider resistors are recommended to preserve threshold accuracy. OV low-to-high (VOV) = 5.09V OV high-to-low (VOV – VOVHST) = 4.988V The UV and OV trip point ratio is designed to match the standard telecom operating range of 43V to 71V when connected together as in Figure 2.
LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Applications Information conditions are met. A high-to-low transition in the UV comparator immediately shuts down the LTC4252, pulls the MOSFET gate low and resets the latched PWRGD high. 4) Low impedance switch; resets the TIMER capacitor after an initial timing delay, in UVLO, in UV and in OV during initial timing. Overvoltage conditions detected by the OV comparator will also pull GATE low, thereby shutting down the load.
LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Applications Information NORMALIZED RESPONSE TIME (s/µF) 10 SOFT-START IDRN = 0µA Soft-start limits the inrush current profile during GATE start-up. Unduly long soft-start intervals can exceed the MOSFET’s SOA rating if powering up into an active load. If SS floats, an internal current source ramps SS from 0V to 2.2V for the LTC4252 or 0V to 1.4V for the LTC4252A in about 230µs.
LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Applications Information and eliminates current spikes at insertion. A large external gate-source capacitor is thus unnecessary for the purpose of compensating CGD. Instead, a smaller value (≥ 10nF) capacitor CC is adequate. CC also provides compensation for the analog current limit loop. GATE has two comparators: the GATE low comparator looks for < 0.5V threshold prior to initial timing or a GATE start-up cycle; the GATE high comparator looks for < 2.
LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Applications Information A low impedance short on one card may influence the behavior of others sharing the same backplane. The initial glitch and backplane sag as seen in Figure 6 Trace 1, can rob charge from output capacitors on adjacent cards. When the faulty card shuts down, current flows in to refresh the capacitors. If LTC4252s are used by the other cards, they respond by limiting the inrush current to a value of 100mV/RS.
LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Applications Information Approximating a linear charging rate as IDRN drops from IDRN(MAX) to zero, the IDRN component in Equation (3) can be approximated with 0.5 • IDRN(MAX). Rearranging equation, TIMER capacitor CT is given by: CT = ( tCL(CHARGE) • 230µA + 4 •IDRN(MAX) 4V ) (13) Returning to Equation (3), the TIMER period is calculated and used in conjunction with VSUPPLY(MAX) and ISHORTCIRCUIT(MAX) to check the SOA curves of a prospective MOSFET.

LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Applications Information Undervoltage Timing cycle starts. If the system bus voltage overshoots VOVHI as shown at time point 2, TIMER discharges. At time point 3, the supply voltage recovers and drops below the VOVLO threshold. The initial timing cycle restarts, followed by a GATE start-up cycle. In Figure 11 when UV pin drops below VUVLO (time point 1), the LTC4252 shuts down with TIMER, SS and GATE all pulling low.

LTC4252-1/LTC4252-2 LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2 Applications Information Analog Current Limit and Fast Current Limit In Figure 17a, when SENSE exceeds VACL, GATE is regulated by the analog current limit amplifier loop. When SENSE drops below VACL, GATE is allowed to pull up. In Figure 17b, when a severe fault occurs, SENSE exceeds VFCL and GATE immediately pulls down until the analog current amplifier establishes control. If the severe fault causes VOUT to exceed VDRNCL, the DRAIN pin is clamped at VDRNCL.

If both power supplies from channel A and B are exactly equal, then equal load current will flow through Q2 and Q3 to the load module via the Hot Swap section.
