GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM1177 is an integrated hot swap controller that offers
digital current and voltage monitoring via an on-chip, 12-bit
analog-to-digital converter (ADC), communicated through an
I2C® interface.
An internal current sense amplifier measures voltage across
the sense resistor in the power path via the VCC pin and the
SENSE pin.
The ADM1177 limits the current through this resistor by
controlling the gate voltage (via the GATE pin) of an external
N-channel FET in the power path. The voltage across the sense
resistor (and, therefore, the inrush current) is kept below a
preset maximum.
The ADM1177 protects the external FET by limiting the time
that the maximum current runs through it. This current limit
period is set by the value of the capacitor attached to the TIMER
pin. Additionally, the device provides protection from overcurrent
events that may occur once the hot swap event is complete. In
the case of a short-circuit event, the current in the sense resistor
exceeds an overcurrent trip threshold, and the FET is switched off
immediately by pulling down the GATE pin.

A soft start pin (SS) is also included. This gives the user control
over the reference on the current sense amplifier. An internal
current source charges a capacitor on this pin at startup, allowing
the user to set the profile of the initial current ramp. A voltage
can also be driven on this pin to alter the reference.
A 12-bit ADC can measure the current seen in the sense resistor,
as well as the supply voltage on the VCC pin. An industry-standard
I2C interface allows a controller to read current and voltage data
from the ADC. Measurements can be initiated by an I2C command.
Alternatively, the ADC can run continuously, and the user can
read the latest conversion data whenever it is required. Up to
four unique I2C addresses can be created, depending on how the
ADR pin is connected.
The ADM1177 is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP.

Monitoring accuracy is a measure of the error in a code that is read back for a particular voltage/current. This is a combination of amplifier error, reference error, ADC
error, and error in ADC full-scale code conversion factor.
2
This is an absolute value to be used when converting ADC codes to current readings; any inaccuracy in this value is factored into absolute current accuracy values (see
specifications for Current Sense Absolute Accuracy).
3
These are absolute values to be used when converting ADC codes to voltage readings; any inaccuracy in these values are factored into voltage accuracy values (see
specifications for Voltage Sense Accuracy).
4
Time between the receipt of the command byte and the actual ADC result being placed in the register.

Description
Positive Supply Input Pin. The operating supply voltage range is from 3.15 V to 16.5 V. An undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) circuit resets the ADM1177 when a low supply voltage is detected.
Current Sense Input Pin. A sense resistor between the VCC pin and the SENSE pin sets the analog current
limit. The hot swap operation of the ADM1177 controls the external FET gate to maintain the (VCC − VSENSE)
voltage at or below 100 mV.
Undervoltage Input Pin. Active high pin. An internal undervoltage comparator has a trip threshold of 1.3 V,
and the output of this comparator is used as an enable for the hot swap operation. With an external resistor
divider from VCC to GND, the ON pin can be used to enable the hot swap operation for a specific voltage on
VCC, providing an undervoltage function.
Chip Ground Pin.
Timer Pin. An external capacitor, CTIMER, sets a 270 ms/µF initial timing cycle delay and a 21.7 ms/µF fault delay.
The GATE pin turns off when the TIMER pin is pulled beyond the upper threshold. An overvoltage detection
with an external Zener can be used to force this pin high.
I2C Clock Pin. Open-drain input requires an external resistive pull-up.
I2C Data I/O Pin. Open-drain input/output. Requires an external resistive pull-up.
I2C Address Pin. This pin can be tied low, tied high, left floating, or tied low through a resistor to set four
different I2C addresses.
Soft Start Pin. This pin controls the reference on the current sense amplifier. A 10 µA current source charges
this pin at startup. A capacitor on this pin then sets the slope of the initial current ramp. This pin can also be
driven to a voltage to alter the reference directly, thereby adjusting the current limit level with a gain of 10.
GATE Output Pin. This pin is the high-side gate drive of an external N-channel FET. This pin is driven by the
FET drive controller, which utilizes a charge pump to provide a 12.5 µA pull-up current to charge the FET
GATE pin. The FET drive controller regulates to a maximum load current (100 mV through the sense resistor)
by modulating the GATE pin.

OVERVIEW OF THE HOT SWAP FUNCTION
When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, discharged
supply bypass capacitors draw large transient currents from the
backplane power bus as they charge. Such transient currents can
cause permanent damage to connector pins, as well as dips on
the backplane supply that can reset other boards in the system.
The ADM1177 is designed to turn a circuit board supply voltage
on and off in a controlled manner, allowing the circuit board to
be safely inserted into or removed from a live backplane. The
ADM1177 can reside either on the backplane or on the circuit
board itself.
The ADM1177 controls the inrush current to a fixed maximum
level by modulating the gate of an external N-channel FET placed
between the live supply rail and the load. This hot swap function
protects the card connectors and the FET itself from damage
and limits any problems that can be caused by the high current
loads on the live supply rail.
The ADM1177 holds the GATE pin down (and therefore holds
off the FET) until certain conditions are met. An undervoltage
lockout circuit ensures that the device is provided with an adequate
input supply voltage. After the input supply voltage is successfully
detected, the device goes through an initial timing cycle to provide
a delay before it attempts a hot swap. This delay ensures that the
board is fully seated in the backplane before the board is
powered up.
After the initial timing cycle is complete, the hot swap function
is switched on under control of the ON pin. When the ON pin
is asserted high, the hot swap operation starts.
The ADM1177 charges up the gate of the FET to turn on the
load. It continues to charge up the GATE pin until the linear
current limit (set to 100 mV/RSENSE) is reached. For some combinations of low load capacitance and high current limit, this limit
may not be reached before the load is fully charged up. If the
current limit is reached, the ADM1177 regulates the GATE
pin to keep the current at this limit. For currents above the
overcurrent fault timing threshold, nominally 100 mV/RSENSE,
the current fault is timed by sourcing a current out to the
TIMER pin. If the load becomes fully charged before the fault
current limit time is reached (when the TIMER pin reaches
1.3 V), the current drops below the overcurrent fault timing
threshold. The ADM1177 then charges the GATE pin higher to
fully enhance the FET for lowest RON, and the TIMER pin is
pulled down again.
If the fault current limit time is reached before the load drops
below the current limit, a fault has been detected, and the hot
swap operation is aborted by pulling down the GATE pin to
turn off the FET.
The ADM1177-2 latches off at this point and attempts to hot
swap again only when the ON pin is deasserted and then
asserted again. The ADM1177-1 retries the hot swap operation
indefinitely, keeping the FET in its safe operating area (SOA) by
using the TIMER pin to time a cooldown period between hot
swap attempts. The current and voltage threshold combinations
on the TIMER pin set the retry duty cycle to 3.8%.
The ADM1177 is designed to operate over a range of supplies
from 3.15 V to 16.5 V.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
An internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit resets the
ADM1177 if the voltage on the VCC pin is too low for normal
operation. The UVLO has a low-to-high threshold of 2.8 V, with
80 mV hysteresis. Above 2.8 V supply voltage, the ADM1177
starts the initial timing cycle.
ON FUNCTION
The ADM1177-1 has an active high ON pin. The ON pin is the
input to a comparator that has a low-to-high threshold of 1.3 V,
a 50 mV hysteresis, and a glitch filter of 3 μs. A low input on the
ON pin turns off the hot swap operation by pulling the GATE
pin to ground, turning off the external FET. The TIMER pin is
also reset by turning on a pull-down current on this pin. A lowto-high transition on the ON pin starts the hot swap operation.
A 10 kΩ pull-up resistor connecting the ON pin to the supply is
recommended.
Alternatively, an external resistor divider at the ON pin can be
used to program an undervoltage lockout value that is higher
than the internal UVLO circuit, thereby setting the hot swap
operation to start on specific voltage level on the VCC pin. An
RC filter can be added at the ON pin to increase the delay time
at card insertion if the initial timing cycle delay is insufficient.
TIMER FUNCTION
The TIMER pin handles several timing functions with an
external capacitor, CTIMER. There are two comparator thresholds:
VTIMERH (1.3 V) and VTIMERL (0.2 V). The four timing current
sources are a 5 µA pull-up, a 60 µA pull-up, a 2 µA pull-down,
and a 100 µA pull-down. The 100 µA pull-down is a nonideal
current source, approximating a 7 kΩ resistor below 0.4 V.
These current and voltage levels, together with the value of
CTIMER chosen by the user, determine the initial timing cycle
time, the fault current limit time, and the hot swap retry duty cycle.

GATE AND TIMER FUNCTIONS DURING
A HOT SWAP OPERATION
CALCULATING CURRENT LIMITS AND FAULT
CURRENT LIMIT TIME
During hot insertion of a board onto a live supply rail at VCC,
the abrupt application of supply voltage charges the external FET
drain/gate capacitance, which can cause an unwanted gate voltage
spike. An internal circuit holds GATE low before the internal
circuitry wakes up. This substantially reduces the FET current
surges at insertion. The GATE pin is also held low during the
initial timing cycle until the ON pin is taken high to start the
hot swap operation.
The nominal linear current limit is determined by a sense
resistor connected between the VCC pin and the SENSE pin,
as given by Equation 1.
During a hot swap operation, the GATE pin is first pulled up
by a 12.5 μA current source. If the current through the sense
resistor reaches the overcurrent fault timing threshold
(VOCTRIM), a pull-up current of 60 µA on the TIMER pin is
turned on and the GATE pin starts charging up. At a slightly
higher voltage in the sense resistor, the error amplifier servos
the GATE pin to maintain a constant current to the load by
controlling the voltage across the sense resistor to the linear
current limit, VLIM.
A normal hot swap operation is complete when the board
supply capacitors near full charge, and the current through the
sense resistor drops to eventually reach the level of the board
load current. As soon as the current drops below the overcurrent fault timing threshold, the current into the TIMER pin
switches from 60 μA pull-up to 100 μA pull-down. The
ADM1177 then drives the GATE voltage as high as it can to
fully enhance the FET and reduce RON losses to a minimum.
A hot swap fails if the load current does not drop below the
overcurrent fault timing threshold, VOCTRIM, before the TIMER
pin has charged up to 1.3 V. In this case, the GATE pin is then
pulled down with a 1.5 mA to 7 mA current sink (this varies
with supply voltage). The GATE pull-down stays on until a hot
swap retry starts, which can be forced by deasserting and then
reasserting the ON pin. On the ADM1177-1, the device retries a
hot swap operation automatically after a cooldown period.
The ADM1177 also features a method of protection from
sudden load current surges, such as a low impedance fault,
when the current seen across the sense resistor can go well
beyond the linear current limit. If the fast overcurrent trip
threshold, VOCFAST, is exceeded, the 1.5 mA to 7 mA GATE pulldown is turned on immediately. This pulls the GATE voltage
down quickly to enable the ADM1177 to limit the length of the
current spike that passes through an external FET and to bring
the current through the sense resistor back into linear regulation
as quickly as possible. This process protects the backplane supply
from sustained overcurrent conditions that may otherwise cause
the backplane supply to droop during the overcurrent event.
ILIMIT(NOM) = VLIM(NOM)/RSENSE = 100 mV/RSENSE
(1)
The minimum linear fault current is given by Equation 2.
ILIMIT(MIN) = VLIM(MIN)/RSENSE(MAX) = 97 mV/RSENSE(MAX)
(2)
The maximum linear fault current is given by Equation 3.
ILIMIT(MAX) = VLIM(MAX)/RSENSE(MIN) = 103 mV/RSENSE(MIN)
(3)
The power rating of the sense resistor should be rated at the
maximum linear fault current level.
The minimum overcurrent fault timing threshold current is
given by Equation 4.
IOCTRIM(MIN) = VOCTRIM(MIN)/RSENSE(MAX) = 90 mV/RSENSE(MAX)
(4)
The maximum fast overcurrent trip threshold current is given
by Equation 5.
IOCFAST(MAX) = VOCFAST(MAX)/RSENSE(MIN) = 115 mV/RSENSE(MIN) (5)
The fault current limit time is the time that a device spends
timing an overcurrent fault, and is given by Equation 6.
tFAULT ≈ 21.7 × CTIMER ms/μF
(6)
INITIAL TIMING CYCLE
When VCC is first connected to the backplane supply, the
internal supply (Time Point 1 in Figure 32) of the ADM1177
must be charged up. A very short time later (significantly less
than 1 ms), the internal supply is fully up and, because the
undervoltage lockout voltage is exceeded at VCC, the device
comes out of reset. During this first short reset period, the
GATE pin is held down with a 25 mA pull-down current, and
the TIMER pin is pulled down with a 100 μA current sink.
The ADM1177 then goes through an initial timing cycle. At
Time Point 2, the TIMER pin is pulled high with 5 µA. At
Time Point 3, the TIMER reaches the VTIMERL threshold, and
the first portion of the initial cycle ends. The 100 µA current
source then pulls down the TIMER pin until it reaches 0.2 V
at Time Point 4. The initial cycle delay (Time Point 2 to
Time Point 4) is related to CTIMER as shown in Equation 7.

When the initial timing cycle terminates, the device is ready to
start a hot swap operation (assuming that the ON pin is
asserted). In the example shown in Figure 32, the ON pin is
asserted at the same time that VCC is applied; therefore, the hot
swap operation starts immediately after Time Point 4. At this
point, the FET gate is charged up with a 12.5 μA current source.

At Time Point 5, the threshold voltage of the FET is reached,
and the load current begins to flow. The FET is controlled to
keep the sense voltage at 100 mV (this corresponds to a
maximum load current level defined by the value of RSENSE).
VTIMER
At Time Point 6, VGATE and VOUT have reached their full
potential, and the load current has settled to its nominal level.
Figure 33 illustrates the situation where the ON pin is asserted
after VCC is applied.

INITIAL TIMING
CYCLE
As with all ADM1177 devices, an overcurrent fault is timed by
charging the TIMER capacitor with a 60 μA pull-up current.
When the TIMER pin reaches 1.3 V, the fault current limit time
is reached and the GATE pin is pulled down. On the ADM1177-1,
the TIMER pin is then pulled down with a 2 μA current sink.
When the TIMER pin reaches 0.2 V, it automatically restarts the
hot swap operation.

The SS pin is used to determine the inrush current profile.
A capacitor should be attached to this pin. When the FET is
requested to turn on, the SS pin is held at ground until the
SENSE pin reaches a few millivolts. A current source is then
turned on, which linearly ramps the capacitor up to 1.0 V. The
reference voltage for the GATE linear control amplifier is derived
from the soft start voltage, such that the inrush linear current
limit is defined as ILIMIT = VSS/(10 × RSENSE).
This pin can also be driven to a voltage to alter the reference
directly, thereby adjusting the current limit level with a gain
of 10. See Figure 31 for an illustration of this relationship.

Data Sheet
ADM1177
VOLTAGE AND CURRENT READBACK
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted address responds by pulling the data line low during
the low period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the
acknowledge bit, and holding it low during the high period
of this clock pulse. All other devices on the bus now
remain idle while the selected device waits for data to be
read from it or written to it. If the R/W bit is 0, the master
writes to the slave device. If the R/W bit is 1, the master
reads from the slave device.
In addition to providing hot swap functionality, the ADM1177
also contains the components to allow voltage and current
readback over an I2C bus. The voltage output of the current
sense amplifier and the voltage on the VCC pin are fed into a
12-bit ADC via a multiplexer. The device can be instructed to
convert voltage and/or current at any time during operation via
an I2C command. When all conversions are complete, the
voltage and/or current values can be read back with 12-bit
accuracy in two or three bytes.
2.
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
Control of the ADM1177 is carried out via the I2C bus. This
interface is compatible with I2C fast mode (400 kHz maximum).
The ADM1177 is connected to this bus as a slave device under
the control of a master device.
IDENTIFYING THE ADM1177 ON THE I2C BUS
The ADM1177 has a 7-bit serial bus slave address. When the
device powers up, it does so with a default serial bus address.
The five MSBs of the address are set to 10110; the two LSBs are
determined by the state of the ADR pin. There are four different
configurations available on the ADR pin that correspond to four
different I2C addresses for the two LSBs (see Table 5). This scheme
allows four ADM1177 devices to operate on a single I2C bus.
If the operation is a write operation, the first data byte after
the slave address is a command byte. This tells the slave
device what to expect next. It can be an instruction, such as
telling the slave device to expect a block write; or it can be
a register address that tells the slave where subsequent data
is to be written.
Because data can flow in only one direction, as defined by
the R/W bit, it is not possible to send a command to a slave
device during a read operation. Before performing a read
operation, it may be necessary to first execute a write
operation to tell the slave what sort of read operation to
expect and/or the address from which data is to be read.
GENERAL I2C TIMING
Figure 34 and Figure 35 show timing diagrams for general write
and read operations using the I2C. The I2C specification defines
conditions for different types of read and write operations,
which are discussed in the Write and Read Operations section.
The general I2C protocol operates as follows:
1.
Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses: eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit
from the slave device. Data transitions on the data line
must occur during the low period of the clock signal and
remain stable during the high period, because a low-tohigh transition when the clock is high can be interpreted as
a stop signal.
3.
The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start
condition, defined as a high-to-low transition on the serial
data line, SDA, while the serial clock line, SCL, remains high.
This indicates that a data stream is to follow. All slave
peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to the start
condition and shift in the next eight bits, consisting of a
7-bit slave address (MSB first), plus an R/W bit that
determines the direction of the data transfer, that is,
whether data is written to or read from the slave device
(0 = write, 1 = read).
When all data bytes are read or written, stop conditions are
established. In write mode, the master pulls the data line
high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop condition.
In read mode, the master device releases the SDA line
during the SCL low period before the ninth clock pulse,
but the slave device does not pull it low. This is known as a
no acknowledge. The master then takes the data line low
during the SCL low period before the 10th clock pulse, then
high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop condition.

Data Sheet
In the write extended command byte operation, the master
device writes to one of the three extended registers of the slave
device, as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the
write bit (low).
The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
The master sends the register address byte. The MSB of
this byte is set to 1 to indicate an extended register write.
The two LSBs indicate which of the three extended
registers is to be written to (see Table 8). All other bits
should be set to 0.
The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
The master sends the extended command byte (see Table 9,
Table 10, and Table 11).
7.
8.
The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the
transaction.

Enabled if four consecutive ADC conversions on the I channel exceed the threshold set in the ALERT_TH
register.
Enabled if the hot swap operation either latches off or enters a cooldown cycle because of an
overcurrent event.
Enables an alert if the hot swap operation is turned off by a transition that deasserts the ON pin or by an
operation that writes the SWOFF bit high.
Clears the OFF_ALERT, HS_ALERT, and ADC_ALERT status bits in the STATUS register. The value of these
bits may immediately change if the source of the alert is not cleared and the alert function is not
disabled. This CLEAR bit self-clears to 0 after the STATUS register bits are cleared.

Depending on how the device is configured, the ADM1177
can be set up to provide information in three ways: voltage
and current readback, voltage only readback, and current
only readback. See the Write Command Byte section for
more details.

Function
An ADC-based overcurrent comparison is detected on the last three conversions
An ADC-based overcurrent trip has occurred, causing the alert. Cleared by writing to Bit 4 of the ALERT_EN register.
The hot swap operation is off due to an analog overcurrent event. On parts that latch off, this is the same as the
HS_ALERT status bit (if EN_HS_ALERT = 1). On the retry parts, this indicates the current state: a 0 can indicate that the
data was read during a period when the device was retrying, or that it has successfully hot swapped by retrying after
at least one overcurrent timeout.
The hot swap operation has failed since the last time this was reset. Cleared by writing to Bit 4 of the ALERT_EN
register.
The state of the ON pin. Set to 1 if the input pin is deasserted. Can also be set to 1 by writing to the SWOFF bit of the
CONTROL register.
An alert has been caused by either the ON pin or the SWOFF bit. Cleared by writing to Bit 4 of the ALERT_EN register.

KELVIN SENSE RESISTOR CONNECTION
When using a low value sense resistor for high current
measurement, the problem of parasitic series resistance can arise.
The pad and solder resistance can be a substantial fraction of
the rated resistance, making the total resistance larger than
expected. This error problem can be largely avoided by using a
Kelvin sense connection. This type of connection separates the
high current path through the resistor and the voltage drop across
the resistor. A four pad resistor can be used or a split pad layout
can be used with a two pad sense resistor to achieve Kelvin sensing.
