DESCRIPTIO  
FEATURES  
Allows Safe Board Insertion and Removal from  
The LTC®4216 is a positive low-voltage Hot SwapTM  
controller that allows a board to be safely inserted and  
removed from a live backplane. It controls load voltages  
ranging from 0V to 6V and isolates a severe fault with  
instantaneous analog current limiting.  
a Live Backplane  
Controls Load Voltages from 0V to 6V  
Fast Response Limits Peak Fault Current  
Adjustable Analog Current Limit  
Adjustable Soft-Start with Inrush Current Limiting  
An internal high side switch driver controls the gate of  
an external N-channel MOSFET. An adjustable soft-start  
limits the rate of change of the inrush current at start-up  
for a large load capacitor. Together with an analog current  
limitamplifier,anelectroniccircuitbreakerwithadjustable  
response time provides dual level overcurrent protection.  
No external gate capacitor is required for the analog cur-  
rent limit loop compensation.  
Adjustable Response Time for Overcurrent  
Protection  
Low Circuit Breaker Trip Threshold: 25mV  
No External Gate Capacitor Required  
Gate Drive for External N-Channel MOSFET  
Adjustable Supply Voltage Power-Up Rate  
RESET and FAULT Output  
10-Lead MSOP and 12-Lead (4mm × 3mm) DFN  
The FB pin monitors the output supply voltage and signals  
the RESET output pin. An ON pin provides on/off control  
and a FAULT pin indicates the fault status. The LTC4216  
is available in the 10-lead MSOP and 12-lead (4mm ×  
3mm) DFN packages.

RESET (Pin 1/Pin 1): Reset or Power-Good Output. Open  
drain output that pulls low if the FB pin voltage falls below  
its threshold (0.6V). If an undervoltage lockout condition  
occurs, the RESET pin pulls low and ignores the FB pin  
voltage.  
GATE (Pin 8/Pin 7): Gate Drive for External N-Channel  
MOSFET. An internal charge pump provides 20µA gate  
pull-up current and sufficient gate overdrive to the exter-  
nal MOSFET. An internal shunt regulator limits the GATE  
pin voltage to about 6.2V (typ) above the SENSEN pin  
voltage.  
ON (Pin 2/Pin 2): ON Control Input. A rising edge above  
the ON pin threshold (0.8V) initiates the start-up cycle and  
turns on the external N-channel MOSFET. A falling edge  
below 0.72V (80mV ON pin hysteresis) turns it off. If this  
pin is pulled below 0.4V, following a circuit breaker trip, it  
resets the electronic circuit breaker and fault latch.  
SENSEN (Pin 9/Pin 8): Circuit Breaker Negative Sense  
Input. Connectthispintothesenseresistorterminalwired  
to the drain of the external N-channel MOSFET. The sense  
resistor is placed in the power path between SENSEP and  
SENSEN pins to sense the output current. The electronic  
circuitbreakertripsifthevoltageacrossthesenseresistor  
exceeds 25mV for more than a fault filter delay.  
FILTER(Pin3/Pin3):FaultFilterInput.Connectacapacitor  
between this pin and ground to set up the fault filter delay.  
This pin sources 60µA or sinks 2.4µA when the voltage  
across the sense resistor exceeds 25mV or drops below  
25mV respectively.  
SENSEP (Pin 10/Pin 9): Circuit Breaker Positive Sense  
Input. Connectthispintothesenseresistorterminalwired  
to the positive supply input for the external output load.  
This positive supply range extends from 0V to 6V.  
TIMER (Pin 4/Pin 4): Timer Input. Connect a capacitor  
between this pin and ground to set up the start-up timing  
cycleduration.ItalsodefinestheRESETpower-gooddelay  
from the instant the FB pin voltage exceeds 0.6V. This pin  
sources 2µA pull-up current during ramp up.  
V

OPERATIO  
The LTC4216 is a Hot Swap controller residing either on  
a removable circuit board or on the backplane. It moni-  
tors the current and protects the load with an external  
N-channel MOSFET and a current sensing resistor (see  
Typical Application). Both inrush current limiting and  
short-circuit protection are provided by the LTC4216. The

limits the rate of change of the inrush current flowing into  
the output load capacitance. RESET pin goes high after  
the second timing cycle when the FB pin voltage exceeds  
0.6V and its hysteresis.  
When the external MOSFET is fully turned on, the output  
will ramp to load supply voltage if the inrush into the load  
capacitance is low. However, if the inrush current exceeds

will ramp the output by sourcing the limited current into  
the load capacitance.  
When the ON pin is pulled from low to high, TIMER begins  
the first timing cycle by sourcing 2µA into C1 once these  
conditions are met: bias supply voltage out of undervolt-  
age lockout (> 2.12V); TIMER, SS, FILTER and GATE  
pin voltages < 0.2V. When the C1 voltage rises above  
the TIMER pin threshold (1.253V), TIMER pulls low and  
releases both the SS and GATE pins. C2 starts to ramp  
The LTC4216 provides protection against output short-  
circuits or current overload through an internal electronic  
circuit breaker with trip threshold of 25mV and an analog  
current limit circuit. The circuit breaker response time is  
set by C3 at the FILTER pin.

An external capacitor, C1, is used at TIMER pin to provide

circuit faults are ignored by the electronic circuit breaker.

RESET pin goes high when the FB pin voltage exceeds  
0.6V and its hysteresis.  
ON Control  
The ON pin has two hysteretic comparators with differ-  
ent threshold levels (0.8V and 0.4V) and they serve two  
purposes:  
1. Turn on the device if the ON pin voltage > 0.8V for more  
than 6µs and turn it off if the ON pin voltage < 0.72V for  
more than 15µs.

external pull-up resistor, R5. The timer period given by  
Equation (1) sets the power-good delay for RESET going  
high. If the FB pin voltage stays above 0.6V for less than  
a timing cycle at time point 4, the RESET output remains

FB Glitch Filtering  
The FB pin is used to monitor the output voltage of the  
external MOSFET through a resistive divider. Any tran-  
sients on the FB pin due to the output low spikes will  
pull RESET low. To prevent RESET from generating an  
unwanted system reset, the FB comparator has a glitch  
filter to ride out these glitches. The filter time is 20µs for  
large transients (greater than 150mV) and up to 100µs  
for small transients. The relationship between glitch filter  
time and the FB pin transient voltage or FB overdrive is  
shown in Figure 1.

Following a circuit breaker trip, the device is latched-off  
and FAULT is pulled low until the fault latch is cleared by  
pulling the ON pin low (< 0.4V) for at least 100µs. The  
FILTER pin is pulled low by an internal N-channel switch  
to discharge the capacitor quickly when the ON pin volt-  
age falls below 0.4V and pulls down with 2.4µA when the  
ON pin voltage rises above 0.8V to initiate a new start-up  
cycle. The new timing cycle will not start until the FILTER  
pin voltage is below 0.2V. The electronic circuit breaker  
is disabled during the first timing cycle upon start-up and  
any short-circuit faults will be ignored.  
The fault filter delay is determined by a capacitor, C3, con-  
nected between the FILTER pin and ground as in Equation

Analog Current Limiting

In addition to an electronic circuit breaker, the LTC4216  
has included a novel analog current limit (ACL) amplifier  
that does not require an external compensation capacitor  
at the GATE pin. The amplifier’s stability is compensated  
The LTC4216 features a soft-start function that controls  
the di/dt of the inrush current during power-up. As large  
output load capacitors are commonly used in low-voltage  
applications, the normal inrush can be large enough to  
glitch the load supply. With the soft-start function, the  
gate of the external MOSFET is allowed to turn on very  
gradually to control the inrush current flowing into the  
load capacitor without causing a supply glitch.

However, if the MOSFET’s gate input capacitance (C

is too small for loop stability, then connect an external  
capacitor between the GATE pin and ground to increase  
the total gate capacitance to ≥ 1nF. As given by Equation  
With an external capacitor, C2, connected between the SS  
pin and ground, the GATE is servoed by the ACL amplifier  
to track the rate of SS ramp-up during power-up. There  
are two slopes in the SS ramp-up profile: 10µA current  
source pull-up for a normal ramp rate; and 1µA current  
source pull-up for a slower ramp rate. Both the SS ramp

After the initial timing cycle, the SS capacitor is charged  
by a 10µA current source pull-up and GATE is held low  
by the ACL amplifier. As SS ramps up, the ACL amplifier  
releases the GATE when it crosses its input offset volt-  
age. At this instant, SS switches the pull-up current from  
10µA to 1µA for a slower ramp rate. GATE continues to  
charge up with 20µA pull-up before the MOSFET reaches  
its turn-on threshold voltage. When the external MOSFET  
is first turned on, there is always a current step due to the  
high gain of the MOSFET. The slower SS ramp rate allows  
the gate of the external MOSFET to be turned on with a  
smaller inrush current step.

into the load capacitor. The MOSFET current level at this  
time point is controlled by the ACL amplifier and the GATE  
ramp is slowed down. SS switches the pull-up current  
from 1µA to 10µA for a normal ramp rate. Between time  
points 6 and 7, the ACL amplifier servos the GATE voltage  
to track the SS ramp rate, limiting the slew rate of the load  
current. At time point 7, SS reaches its final value and

Resetting the Electronic Circuit Breaker  
For a new circuit design, the sense resistor value is first  
calculatedfromthemaximumoperatingloadcurrentunder  
normal conditions and the minimum circuit breaker trip  
threshold. This is given by:  
When the LTC4216’s electronic circuit breaker is tripped  
during a fault condition, FAULT is asserted low and the  
RESET, SS and GATE pins are all pulled to ground. This is  
shown in the timing diagram of Figure 11. The LTC4216  
remains latched-off until the external fault is cleared. To  
clear the internal fault latch and restart the device, pull  
the ON pin low (< 0.4V) at time point 4 for at least 100µs,  
after which the FAULT will go high at time point 5. Tog-  
gling the ON pin from low to high (> 0.8V) initiates a new  
start-up cycle.

The external MOSFET switch must have adequate safe

before the circuit breaker trips. These considerations  
take precedence over continuous drain current ratings. A  
MOSFET with adequate SOA for a given application can  
always handle the required drain current, but the opposite  
may not be true. Consult the manufacturer’s MOSFET

ground connections on the printed circuit board should  
be wired to the long pins or blades of the edge connector.  
Controlsignal(ON)andstatussignals(RESETandFAULT)  
passing through the edge connector should be wired to  
short pins or blades.  
2. Snubber (series RC) network.  
For applications with load supply voltages of 3.3V or  
higher, the ringing and overshoot during hot-swap-  
ping or output-shorts can easily exceed the absolute  
maximum rating of the LTC4216. To minimize the risk,  
a transient voltage suppressor and snubber network  
are highly recommended at the SENSEP pin. For ap-  
plications with load supply voltages of 2.5V or below,  
usually a snubber network is adequate to reduce the  
supply ringing.  
Backplane and PCB Connection Sensing  
The LTC4216’s ON pin can be used in various ways to  
detect whether the printed circuit board is seated properly  
in the backplane connector before the LTC4216 begins a  
start-up cycle.  
An example is shown in Figure 14, in which the LTC4216  
is mounted on the PCB and the R1/R2 resistive divider  
is connected to the ON pin. On the edge connector, R2  
is wired to a short pin. Before the connectors are mated,  
the ON pin is held low by R1, keeping the LTC4216 in an  
off state. When the connectors are mated, the resistive
