MIC2085/MIC2086  
Single Channel Hot Swap Controllers  
Operating temperature range –40°C to 85°C  
General Description  
Active current regulation limits inrush current  
The MIC2085 and MIC2086 are single channel positive  
voltage hot swap controllers designed to allow the safe  
insertion of boards into live system backplanes. The  
MIC2085and MIC2086 are available in 16-pin and 20-pin  
QSOP packages, respectively. Using a few external  
components and by controlling the gate drive of an  
external N-Channel MOSFET device, the MIC2085/86  
provide inrush current limiting and output voltage slew rate  
control in harsh, critical power supply environments.  
Additionally, a circuit breaker function will latch the output  
MOSFET off if the current limit threshold is exceeded for a  
programmed period of time. The devices’ array of features  
provide a simplified yet robust solution for many network  
applications in meeting the power supply regulation  
requirements and affords protection of critical downstream  
devices and components.

CRWBR  
Overvoltage Timer and Crowbar Circuit Trigger: A capacitor connected to this  
pin, sets the timer duration for which an overvoltage condition will trigger an  
external crowbar circuit. This timer begins when the OV input rises above its  
threshold as an internal 45µA current source charges the capacitor. Once the  
voltage reaches 470mV, the current increases to 1.5mA.

CFILTER  
CPOR  
Current Limit Response Timer: A capacitor connected to this pin defines the  
period of time (tOCSLOW) in which an overcurrent event must last to signal a fault  
condition and trip the circuit breaker. If no capacitor is connected, then tOCSLOW  
defaults to 5µs.  
Power-On Reset Timer: A capacitor connected between this pin and ground  
sets the start-up delay (tSTART) and the power-on reset interval (tPOR). When VCC  
rises above the UVLO threshold, the capacitor connected to CPOR begins to  
charge. When the voltage at CPOR crosses 1.24V, the start-up threshold  
(VSTART), a start cycle is initiated if ON is asserted while capacitor CPOR is  
immediately discharged to ground. When the voltage at FB rises above VFB,  
capacitor CPOR begins to charge again. When the voltage at CPOR rises above  
the power-on reset delay threshold (VTH), the timer resets by pulling CPOR to  
ground, and /POR is deasserted. If CPOR = 0, then tSTART defaults to 20µs.

ON  
ON Input: Active high. The ON pin, an input to a Schmitt-triggered comparator  
used to enable/disable the controller, is compared to a VTH reference with  
100mV of hysteresis. Once a logic high is applied to the ON pin (VON > 1.24V), a  
start-up sequence is initiated as the GATE pin starts ramping up towards its final  
operating voltage. When the ON pin receives a low logic signal (VON < 1.14V),  
the GATE pin is grounded and /FAULT is high if VCC is above the UVLO  
threshold. ON must be low for at least 20µs in order to initiate a start-up  
sequence. Additionally, toggling the ON pin LOW to HIGH resets the circuit  
breaker.

/POR  
Power-On Reset Output: Open drain N-Channel device, active low. This pin  
remains asserted during start-up until a time period tPOR after the FB pin voltage  
rises above the power-good threshold (VFB). The timing capacitor CPOR  
determines tPOR. When an output undervoltage condition is detected at the FB  
pin, /POR is asserted for a minimum of one timing cycle, tPOR. The /POR pin has  
a weak pull-up to VCC  
NA  
PWRGD  
Power-Good Output: Open drain N-Channel device, active high. When the  
voltage at the FB pin is lower than 1.24V, the PWRGD output is held low. When  
the voltage at the FB pin is higher than 1.24V, then PWRGD is asserted. A pull-  
up resistor connected to this pin and to VCC will pull the output up to VCC. The  
PWRGD pin has a weak pull-up to VCC.

/FAULT  
FB  
Circuit Breaker Fault Status Output: Open drain N-Channel device, active low.  
The /FAULT pin is asserted when the circuit breaker trips due to an overcurrent  
condition. Also, this pin indicates undervoltage lockout and overvoltage fault  
conditions. The /FAULT pin has a weak pull-up to VCC.  
Power-Good Threshold Input: This input is internally compared to a 1.24V  
reference with 3mV of hysteresis. An external resistive divider may be used to  
set the voltage at this pin. If this input momentarily goes below 1.24V, then /POR  
is activated for one timing cycle, tPOR, indicating an output undervoltage  
condition. The /POR signal de-asserts one timing cycle after the FB pin exceeds  
the power-good threshold by 3mV. A 5µs filter on this pin prevents glitches from  
inadvertently activating this signal.

OV  
Ground Connection: Tie to analog ground  
OV Input: When the voltage on OV exceeds its trip threshold, the GATE pin is  
pulled low and the CRWBR timer starts. If OV remains above its threshold long  
enough for CRWBR to reach its trip threshold, the circuit breaker is tripped.  
Otherwise, the GATE pin begins to ramp up one POR timing cycle after OV  
drops below its trip threshold.

REF  
Reference Output: 1.24V nominal. Tie a 0.1µF capacitor to ground to ensure  
stability.  
GATE  
Gate Drive Output: Connects to the gate of an external N-Channel MOSFET. An  
internal clamp ensures that no more than 13V is applied between the GATE pin  
and the source of the external MOSFET. The GATE pin is immediately brought  
low when either the circuit breaker trips or an undervoltage lockout condition  
occurs.

SENSE  
Circuit Breaker Sense Input: A resistor between this pin and VCC sets the  
18  
15  
current limit threshold. Whenever the voltage across the sense resistor exceeds  
the slow trip current limit threshold (VTRIPSLOW), the GATE voltage is adjusted to  
ensure a constant load current. If VTRIPSLOW (48mV) is exceeded for longer than  
time period tOCSLOW, then the circuit breaker is tripped and the GATE pin is  
immediately pulled low. If the voltage across the sense resistor exceeds the fast  
trip circuit breaker threshold, VTRIPFAST, at any point due to fast, high amplitude  
power supply faults, then the GATE pin is immediately brought low without delay.  
To disable the circuit breaker, the SENSE and VCC pins can be tied together.  
The default VTRIPFAST for either device is 95mV. Other fast trip thresholds are  
available: 150mV, 200mV, or OFF (VTRIPFAST disabled). Please contact factory for  
availability of other options.

VCC  
Positive Supply Input: 2.3V to 16.5V. The GATE pin is held low by an internal  
undervoltage lockout circuit until VCC exceeds a threshold of 2.18V.If VCC  
exceeds 16.5V, an internal shunt regulator protects the chip from VCC and  
SENSE pin voltages up to 33V.

good” (See Figure 2 of “Timing Diagrams”). Active  
current regulation is employed to limit the inrush current  
transient response during start-up by regulating the load  
current at the programmed current limit value (See  
“Current Limiting and Dual-Level Circuit Breaker”  
section). The following equation is used to determine the  
nominal current limit value:  
Functional Description  
Hot Swap Insertion  
When circuit boards are inserted into live system  
backplanes and supply voltages, high inrush currents  
can result due to the charging of bulk capacitance that  
resides across the supply pins of the circuit board. This  
inrush current, although transient in nature, may be high  
enough to cause permanent damage to on-board  
components or may cause the system’s supply voltages  
to go out of regulation during the transient period which  
may result in system failures. The MIC2085/86 acts as a  
controller for external N-Channel MOSFET devices in  
which the gate drive is controlled to provide inrush  
current limiting and output voltage slew rate control  
during hot plug insertions.

where VTRIPSLOW is the current limit slow trip threshold  
found in the electrical table and RSENSE is the selected  
value that will set the desired current limit. There are two  
basic start-up modes for the MIC2085/86: 1)Start-up  
dominated by load capacitance and 2)start-up  
dominated by total gate capacitance. The magnitude of  
the inrush current delivered to the load will determine the  
dominant mode. If the inrush current is greater than the  
programmed current limit (ILIM), then load capacitance  
is dominant. Otherwise, gate capacitance is dominant.  
The expected inrush current may be calculated using the  
following equation:  
Power Supply  
VCC is the supply input to the MIC2085/86 controller  
with a voltage range of 2.3V to 16.5V. The VCC input  
can with stand transient spikes up to 33V. In order to  
help suppress transients and ensure stability of the  
supply voltage, a capacitor of 1.0µF to 10µF from VCC  
to ground is recommended. Alternatively, a low pass  
filter, shown in the typical application circuit, can be used  
to eliminate high frequency oscillations as well as help  
suppress transient spikes.

where IGATE is the GATE pin pull-up current, CLOAD is the  
load capacitance, and CGATE is the total GATE  
capacitance (CISS of the external MOSFET and any  
external capacitor connected from the MIC2085/86  
GATE pin to ground).  
Start-Up Cycle  
When the voltage on the ON pin rises above its  
threshold of 1.24V, the MIC2085/86 first checks that its  
supply (VCC) is above the UVLO threshold. If it does  
check above, the device is enabled and an internal 2µA  
current source begins charging capacitor CPOR to 1.24V  
to initiate a start-up sequence (i.e., start-up delay times  
out). Once the start-up delay (tSTART) elapses, CPOR is  
pulled immediately to ground and a 15µA current source  
begins charging the GATE output to drive the external  
MOSFET that switches VIN to VOUT. The programmed  
start-up delay is calculated using the following equation:  
Load Capacitance Dominated Start-Up  
In this case, the load capacitance, CLOAD, is large  
enough to cause the inrush current to exceed the  
programmed current limit but is less than the fast-trip  
threshold (or the fast-trip threshold is disabled, ‘M’  
option). During start-up under this condition, the load  
current is regulated at the programmed current limit  
value (ILIM) and held constant until the output voltage  
rises to its final value. The output slew rate and  
equivalent GATE voltage slew rate is computed by the  
following equation:

continues ramping toward its final value (VCC + VGS) at  
a defined slew rate (See “Load Capacitance”/“Gate  
Capacitance Dominated Start-Up” sections), a second  
CPOR timing cycle begins if:1)/FAULT is high and  
2)CFILTER is low (i.e., not an overvoltage, undervoltage  
lockout, or overcurrent state).This second timing cycle,  
where ILIM is the programmed current limit value.  
Consequently, the value of CFILTER must be selected to  
ensure that the overcurrent response time, tOCSLOW  
,
exceeds the time needed for the output to reach its final  
value. For example, given a MOSFET with an input  
capacitance CISS = CGATE =4700pF, CLOAD is 2200µF,  
and ILIMIT is set to 6A with a 12Vinput, then the load  
capacitance dominates as determined by the calculated  
INRUSH > ILIM. Therefore, the output voltage slew rate  
determined from Equation 4 is:  
tPOR, starts when the voltage at the FB pin exceeds its  
threshold (VFB) indicating that the output voltage is valid.

a dual-level circuit breaker triggered via 48mV and 95mV  
current limit thresholds sensed across the VCC and  
SENSE pins. The first level of the circuit breaker  
functions as follows. Once the voltage sensed across  
these two pins exceeds 48mV, the overcurrent timer, its  
duration set by capacitor CFILTER, starts to ramp the  
voltage at CFILTER using a 2µA constant current  
source. If the voltage at CFILTER reaches the  
overcurrent timer threshold (VTH) of 1.24V, then  
CFILTER immediately returns to ground as the circuit  
breaker trips and the GATE output is immediately shut  
down. For the second level, if the voltage sensed across  
VCC and SENSE exceeds 95mV at any time, the circuit  
breaker trips and the GATE shuts down immediately,  
bypassing the overcurrent timer period. To disable  
current limit and circuit breaker operation, tie the SENSE  
and VCC pins together and the CFILTER pin to ground.

and the resulting tOCSLOW needed to achieve a 12V  
output is approximately 4.5ms. (See “Power-On Reset,  
Start-Up, and Overcurrent Timer Delays” section to  
calculate tOCSLOW.)  
GATE Capacitance Dominated Start-Up  
In this case, the value of the load capacitance relative to  
the GATE capacitance is small enough such that the  
load current during start-up never exceeds the current  
limit threshold as determined by Equation 3. The  
minimum value of CGATE that will ensure that the current  
limit is never exceeded is given by the equation below:

where CGATE is the summation of the MOSFET input  
capacitance (CISS) and the value of the external  
capacitor connected to the GATE pin of the MOSFET.  
Once CGATE is determined, use the following equation  
to determine the output slew rate for gate capacitance  
dominated start-up.  
Output Undervoltage Detection  
The MIC2085/86 employ output undervoltage detection  
by monitoring the output voltage through a resistive  
divider connected at the FB pin. During turn on, while the  
voltage at the FB pin is below the threshold (VFB), the  
/POR pin is asserted low. Once the FB pin voltage  
crosses VFB, a 2µA current source charges capacitor

Input Overvoltage Protection  
15V/ms  
The MIC2085/86 monitors and detects overvoltage  
conditions in the event of excessive supply transients at  
the input. Whenever the overvoltage threshold (VOV) is  
exceeded at the OV pin, the GATE is pulled low and the  
output is shut off. The GATE will begin ramping one  
POR timing cycle after the OV pin voltage drops below  
its threshold. An external CRWBR circuit, as shown in  
the typical application diagram, provides a time period  
that an overvoltage condition must exceed in order to trip  
the circuit breaker. When the OV pin exceeds the  
overvoltage threshold (VOV), the CRWBR timer begins  
charging the CRWBR capacitor initially with a 45µA  
current source.Once the voltage at CRWBR exceeds its  
threshold (VCR) of 0.47V, the CRWBR current  
immediately increases to 1.5mA and the circuit breaker  
is tripped, necessitating a device reset by toggling the  
ON pin LOW to HIGH.

Many applications will require that the inrush and steady  
state supply current be limited at a specific value in order  
to protect critical components within the system.  
Connecting a sense resistor between the VCC and  
SENSE pins sets the nominal current limit value of the  
MIC2085/86 and the current limit is calculated using  
Equation 2. However, the MIC2085/86 exhibits foldback  
current limit response. The foldback feature allows the  
nominal current limit threshold to vary from 24mVup to  
48mV as the FB pin voltage increases or decreases.  
When FB is at 0V, the current limit threshold is 24mV  
and for FB 0.6V, the current limit threshold is the  
nominal 48mV.(See Figure 4 for Foldback Current Limit  
Response characteristic).The MIC2085/86 also features

“power is good.” For this example, the output value for  
which a 12V supply will signal “good” is 11V. Next,  
consider the tolerances of the input supply and FB  
threshold (VFB). For this example, the 12V supply varies  
±5%, thus the resulting output voltage may be as low as  
11.4V and as high as 12.6V. Additionally, the FB  
threshold has ±50mV tolerance and may be as low  
as1.19V and as high as 1.29V. Thus, to determine the  
values of the resistive divider network (R5 and R6) at the  
FB pin, shown in Figure 5, use the following iterative  
design procedure.  
A capacitor connected to CFILTER is used to set the  
timer which activates the circuit breaker during  
overcurrent conditions. When the voltage across the  
sense resistor exceeds the slow trip current limit  
threshold of 48mV, the overcurrent timer begins to  
charge for a period, tOCSLOW, determined by CFILTER. If  
no capacitor is used at CFILTER, then tOCSLOW defaults  
to 5µs. If tOCSLOW elapses, then the circuit breaker is  
activated and the GATE output is immediately pulled to  
ground. The following equation is used to determine the

Figure 5. For input overvoltage protection, the first  
consideration is to establish the input voltage level that  
indicates an overvoltage triggering a sys-tem (output  
voltage) shut down. For this example, the input value for  
which a 12V supply will signal an “output shut down” is  
13.2V (+10%). Similarly, from the previous example:

cycle. In Figure 6, the connection sense consisting of a  
logic-level discrete MOSFET and a few resistors allows  
for interrupt control from the processor or other signal  
controller to shut off the output of the MIC2085/86. R4  
keeps the GATE of Q2 at VIN until the connectors are  
fully mated. A logic LOW at the/ON_OFF signal turns Q2  
off and allows the ON pin to pull up above its threshold  
and initiate a start-up cycle. Applying a logic HIGH at the  
/ON_OFF signal will turn Q2 on and short the ON pin of  
the MIC2085/86 to ground which turns off the GATE  
output charge pump.  
PCB Connection Sense  
There are several configuration options for the  
MIC2085/86’sON pin to detect if the PCB has been fully  
seated in the backplane before initiating a start-up cycle.  
In the typical applications circuit, the MIC2085/86 is  
mounted on the PCB with a resistive divider network  
connected to the ON pin. R2is connected to a short pin  
on the PCB edge connector. Until the connectors mate,  
the ON pin is held low which keeps the GATE output  
charge pump off. Once the connectors mate, the resistor  
network is pulled up to the input supply, 12V in this  
example, and the ON pin voltage exceeds its threshold  
(VON) of 1.24V and the MIC2085/86 initiates a start-up

illustrates the use of the discharge feature with an  
optional resistor (R5) that can be used to provide added  
resistance in the output discharge path. For an even  
faster discharge response of capacitive loads, the  
configuration of Figure 8(b) can be utilized to apply a  
crowbar to ground through an external SCR (Q3) that is  
triggered when the DIS pin goes low which turns on the  
PNP transistor (Q2). See the different “Functional  
Characteristic” curves for a comparison of the discharge  
response configurations.  
Fast Output Discharge for Capacitive Loads  
In many applications where a switch controller is turned  
off by either removing the PCB from the backplane or  
the ON pin is reset, capacitive loading will cause the  
output to retain voltage unless a ‘bleed’ (low impedance)  
path is in place in order to discharge the capacitance.  
The MIC2086 is equipped with an internal MOSFET that  
allows the discharging of any load capacitance to ground  
through a 550path. The discharge feature is  
configured by wiring the DIS pin to the output (source) of  
the external MOSFET and becomes active (DIS pin

The pass transistor, Q1, isolates theMIC2182’s input  
capacitance during module plug-in and allows the  
backplane to accommodate additional plug-in modules  
without affecting the other modules on the backplane.  
The two control input signals are VBxEn_L (active LOW)  
and a Local Power Enable (active HIGH). The MIC2085  
in the circuit of Figure 10 performs a number of  
functions. The gate output of Q1 is enabled by the two  
bit input signal VBxEn_L, Local Power Enable = [0,1].  
Also, the MIC2085 limits the drain current of Q1 to 7A,  
monitors VB_In for an overvoltage condition greater than  
16V, and enables the MIC2182 DC/DC converter  
Auto-Retry Upon Overcurrent Faults  
The MIC2085/86 can be configured for automatic restart  
after a fault condition. Placing a diode between the ON  
and/FAULT pins, as shown in Figure 9, will enable the  
auto-restart capability of the controller. When an  
application is configured for auto-retry, the overcurrent  
timer should be set to minimize the duty cycle of the  
overcurrent response to prevent thermal runaway of the  
power MOSFET. See “MOSFET Transient Thermal  
Issues” section for further detail. A limited duty cycle is  
achieved when the overcurrent timer duration (tOCSLOW) is  
much less than the start-up delay timer duration (tSTART  
and is calculated using the following equation:

COMPOUT may be used to control a downstream  
device such as another DC/DC converter. Additionally,  
the MIC2085 is configured for auto-retry upon an

Sense Resistor Selection  
The MIC2085 and MIC2086 use a low-value sense  
resistor to measure the current flowing through the  
MOSFET switch (and therefore the load). This sense  
resistor is nominally valued at 48mV/ILOAD(CONT). To  
accommodate worst-case tolerances for both the sense  
resistor (allow ±3% over time and temperature for a  
resistor with ±1% initial tolerance) and still supply the  
maximum required steady-state load current, a slightly  
more detailed calculation must be used. The current limit  
threshold voltage (the “trip point”) for theMIC2085/86  
may be as low as 40mV, which would equate to a sense  
resistor value of 40mV/ILOAD(CONT). Carrying the numbers  
through for the case where the value of the sense  
resistor is 3% high yields:

MOSFET Voltage Requirements  
The maximum ambient temperature in which the  
device will be required to operate.  
The first voltage requirement for the MOSFET is that the  
drain-source breakdown voltage of the MOSFET must  
be greater than VIN(MAX). For instance, a 16V input may  
reasonably be expected to see high-frequency transients  
as high as 24V.Therefore, the drain-source breakdown  
voltage of the MOSFET must be at least 25V. For ample  
safety margin and standard availability, the closest  
minimum value should be 30V.  
Any knowledge you can get about the heat  
sinking available to the device (e.g., can heat be  
dissipated into the ground plane or power plane,  
if using a surface-mount part? Is any airflow  
available?).  
The data sheet will almost always give a value of on  
resistance given for the MOSFET at a gate-source  
voltage of 4.5V, and another value at a gate-source  
voltage of 10V. As a first approximation, add the two  
values together and divide by two to get the on-  
resistance of the part with 8V of enhancement. Call this  
value RON. Since a heavily enhanced MOSFET acts as  
an ohmic (resistive) device, almost all that’s required to  
determine steady-state power dissipation is to calculate  
I2R.The one addendum to this is that MOSFETs have a  
slight increase in RON with increasing die temperature. A  
good approximation for this value is 0.5% increase in  
RON per °C rise in junction temperature above the point  
at which RON was initially specified by the manufacturer.  
For instance, if the selected MOSFET has a calculated  
RON of 10mat a TJ = 25°C, and the actual junction  
temperature ends up at 110°C, a good first cut at the  
operating value for RON would be:  
The second breakdown voltage criterion that must be  
met is a bit subtler than simple drain-source breakdown  
voltage. In MIC2085/86 applications, the gate of the  
external MOSFET is driven up to a maximum of 21V by  
the internal output MOSFET. At the same time, if the  
output of the external MOSFET (its source) is suddenly  
subjected to a short, the gate-source voltage will go to  
(21V – 0V) = 21V. Since most power MOSFETs  
generally have a maximum gate-source breakdown of  
20V or less, the use of a Zener clamp is recommended  
in applications with VCC 8V. A Zener diode with 10V to  
12V rating is recommended as shown in Figure11. At the  
present time, most power MOSFETs with a 20V gate-  
source voltage rating have a 30V drain-source break-  
down rating or higher. As a general tip, choose surface-  
mount devices with a drain-source rating of 30V or more  
as a starting point.  
RON 10m[1 + (110 - 25)(0.005)] 14.3mꢀ  
Finally, the external gate drive of the MIC2085/86  
requires a low-voltage logic level MOSFET when  
operating at voltage slower than 3V. There are 2.5V  
logic-level MOSFETs avail-able. Please see Table 4,  
“MOSFET and Sense Resistor Vendors” for suggested  
manufacturers.  
The final step is to make sure that the heat sinking  
available to the MOSFET is capable of dissipating at  
least as much power (rated in °C/W) as that with which  
the MOSFET’s performance was specified by the  
manufacturer. Here are a few practical tips:  
1. The heat from a surface-mount device such a  
san SO-8 MOSFET flows almost entirely out of  
the drain leads. If the drain leads can be  
soldered down to one square inch or more, the  
copper will act as the heat sink for the part. This  
copper must be on the same layer of the board  
as the MOSFET drain.  
MOSFET Steady-State Thermal Issues  
The selection of a MOSFET to meet the maximum  
continuous current is a fairly straightforward exercise.  
First, arm yourself with the following data:  
The value of ILOAD(CONT,  
question (see “Sense Resistor Selection”).

MAX.)

minute) of air will cool a MOSFET down  
substantially. If you can, position the  
MOSFET(s) near the inlet of a power supply’s  
fan, or the outlet of a processor’s cooling fan.  
slow-trip threshold is 48mVnominal, and the fast-trip  
threshold is 95mV. If the output is accidentally  
connected to a 3load, the output current from the  
MOSFET will be regulated to 2.5A for 100ms (tOCSLOW  
)
before the part trips. During that time, the dissipation in  
the MOSFET is given by:  
3. The best test of a surface-mount MOSFET for  
an application (assuming the above tips show it  
to be a likely fit) is an empirical one. Check the  
MOSFET's temperature in the actual layout of  
the expected final circuit, at full operating  
current. The use of a thermocouple on the drain  
leads, or infrared pyrometer on the package, will  
then give a reasonable idea of the device’s  
junction temperature.  
P = E x I  
EMOSFET = [12V-(2.5A)(3)]=4.5V  
PMOSFET = (4.5V x 2.5A) = 11.25W for 100msec.  
At first glance, it would appear that a really hefty  
MOSFET is required to withstand this sort of fault  
condition. This is where the transient thermal impedance  
curves become very useful. Figure 12 shows the curve  
for the Vishay (Siliconix) Si4410DY, a commonly used  
SO-8 power MOSFET.  
MOSFET Transient Thermal Issues  
Taking the simplest case first, we’ll assume that once a  
fault event such as the one in question occurs, it will be  
a long time – 10 minutes or more – before the fault is  
isolated and the channel is reset. In such a case, we can  
approximate this as a “single pulse” event, that is to say,  
there’s no significant duty cycle. Then, reading up from  
the X-axis at the point where “Square Wave Pulse  
Duration” is equal to 0.1sec (=100msec), we see that the  
Having chosen a MOSFET that will withstand the  
imposed voltage stresses, and the worse case  
continuous I2R power dissipation which it will see, it  
remains only to verify the MOSFET’s ability to handle  
short-term  
overload  
power  
dissipation  
without  
overheating. A MOSFET can handle a much higher  
pulsed power without damage than its continuous  
dissipation ratings would imply. The reason for this is  
that, like everything else, thermal devices (silicon die,  
lead frames, etc.) have thermal inertia.  
Z
θ(J-A) of this MOSFET to a highly infrequent event of this  
duration is only 8% of its continuous Rθ(J-A)  
.
This particular part is specified as having an Rθ(J-A) of  
50°C/W for intervals of 10 seconds or less. Thus:  
In terms related directly to the specification and use of  
power MOSFETs, this is known as “transient thermal  
impedance,” or Zθ(J-A). Almost all power MOSFET data  
sheets give a Transient Thermal Impedance Curve. For  
example, take the following case: VIN = 12V, tOCSLOW  
Assume TA = 55°C maximum, 1 square inch of copper at  
the drain leads, no airflow.  
Recalling from our previous approximation hint, the part

has an RON of (0.0335/2) = 17mat 25°C.  
Iterate the calculation once to see if this value is within a  
few percent of the expected final value. For this iteration  
we will start with TJ equal to the already calculated value  
of 61.1°C:  
Assume it has been carrying just about 2.5A for some  
time.  
When performing this calculation, be sure to use the  
highest anticipated ambient temperature (TA(MAX)) in  
which the MOSFET will be operating as the starting  
temperature, and find the operating junction temperature  
increase (TJ) from that point. Then, as shown next, the  
final junction temperature is found by adding TA(MAX) and  
TJ. Since this is not a closed-form equation, getting a  
close approximation may take one or two iterations, but  
it’s not a hard calculation to perform, and tends to  
converge quickly.  
TJ TA + [17m+ (61.1°C-25°C)(0.005)(17m)]  
x (2.5A)2 x (50°C/W)  
TJ ( 55°C + (0.125W)(50°C/W)  
61.27°C  
So our original approximation of 61.1°C was very close  
to the correct value. We will use TJ = 61°C.  
Finally, add (11.25W)(50°C/W)(0.08) = 45°C to the  
steady-state TJ to get TJ(TRANSIENT MAX.) = 106°C. This is  
an acceptable maximum junction temperature for this  
part.  
Then the starting (steady-state) TJ is:  
TJ TA(MAX) + TJ  
TA(MAX) + [RON + (TA(MAX) –TA)(0.005/°C)  
(RON)] x I2 x Rθ(J-A)  
TJ 55°C + [17m+ (55°C-25°C)(0.005)

PCB Layout Considerations  
swap applications will require load currents of several  
amperes. Therefore, the power (VCC and Return) trace  
widths (W) need to be wide enough to allow the current  
to flow while the rise in temperature for a given copper  
plate (e.g., 1 oz. or 2 oz.) is kept to a maximum of 10°C  
~ 25°C. Also, these traces should be as short as  
possible in order to minimize the IR drops between the  
input and the load. For a starting point, there are many  
trace width calculation tools available on the web such  
as the following link:  
Because of the low values of the sense resistors used  
with theMIC2085/86 controllers, special attention to the  
layout must be used in order for the device’s circuit  
breaker function to operate properly. Specifically, the  
use of a 4-wire Kelvin connection to measure the voltage  
across RSENSE is highly recommended. Kelvin sensing is  
simply a means of making sure that any voltage drops in  
the power traces connecting to the resistors does not get  
picked up by the traces themselves. Additionally, these  
Kelvin connections should be isolated from all other  
signal traces to avoid introducing noise onto these  
sensitive nodes. Figure 13 illustrates a recommended,  
multi-layer layout for the RSENSE, Power MOSFET,  
timer(s), overvoltage and feedback network connections.  
The feed-back and overvoltage resistive networks are  
selected for a12V application (from Figure 5). Many hot

Finally, plated-through vias are utilized to make circuit  
connections to the power and ground planes. The trace  
connections with indicated vias should follow the  
example shown for the GND pin connection in Figure 13.
