DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®4241 is a Hot Swap controller that allows a board
to be safely inserted and removed from a live PCI-bus slot.
It has a primary controller that controls the four PCI
supplies and an independent auxiliary controller to control
the 3.3V auxiliary supply. External N-channel transistors
are used to control the 3.3V, 5V and 3.3V auxiliary supplies
while on-chip switches control the –12V and 12V supplies.
The 3.3V, 5V and 3.3V auxiliary supplies can be ramped up
at an adjustable rate. Electronic circuit breakers protect all
five supplies against overcurrent faults. The foldback
current limit feature reduces current spikes and power
dissipation when shorts occur. The PWRGD output of the
primary controller indicates when all four PCI supplies are
within tolerance. The FAULT output indicates an overcurrent
condition for any of the five supplies.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2 : All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3 : An internal zener on the AUXGATE pin clamps the charge pump
voltage to a typical maximum operating voltage of 12V. External overdrive
of the AUXGATE pin beyond the internal zener voltage may damage the
device.

12VIN (Pin 1): 12V Supply Input. This pin powers the
primary controller internal circuitry. A 0.5Ω switch is
connected between 12VIN and 12VOUT with a foldback
current limit. An undervoltage lockout circuit prevents the
switches from turning on while the 12VIN pin voltage is
less than 9V.
VEEIN (Pin 2): –12V Supply Input. A 1.2Ω switch is
connected between VEEIN and VEEOUT with a foldback
current limit.
3VOUT (Pin 3): 3.3V Output Monitor. Used to monitor the
3.3V output supply voltage. The PWRGD signal cannot go
low until the 3VOUT pin exceeds 2.9V.
TIMER (Pin 4): Current Limit Fault Timer Input. Connect a
capacitor from TIMER to ground. With the primary controller turned off (ON = GND) or the internal circuit breaker
tripped due to a PCI supply fault (FAULT = low), the TIMER
pin is internally held at ground. When the primary controller is turned on, a 22µA pull-up current source is connected to TIMER. Current limit faults from the PCI supplies
will be ignored until the voltage at the TIMER pin rises to
within 0.9V of 12VIN.
ON (Pin 5): On Control Input. A rising edge turns on the
external N-channel FETs for 3.3V and 5V PCI supplies, the
internal 12V and –12V switches and a falling edge turns it
off. If the ON pin is cycled low then high following the trip
of the circuit breaker due to a PCI supply fault, the circuit
breaker is reset.
FAULT (Pin 6): Fault Output. Open drain logic output used
by both the primary and auxiliary controller to indicate an
overcurrent fault condition. When any of the PCI and 3.3V
auxiliary supplies are in current limit fault, the controller
detecting the fault (primary or auxiliary) will be latched off
and the FAULT pin will be pulled low. Current limit faults
from the PCI supplies are ignored while the voltage at the
TIMER pin is less than (12VIN – 0.9V). The current limit
fault detected by the primary controller will not cause the
auxiliary controller to latch off and vice versa.
PWRGD (Pin 7): Power Good Output. Open drain logic
output used by the primary controller to indicate the
voltage status of the PCI supplies. PWRGD remains low
while V12VOUT ≥ 11.1V, V3VOUT ≥ 2.9V, V5VOUT ≥ 4.65V,
VVEEOUT ≤ –10.5V. When one of the supplies falls below its
power good threshold voltage, PWRGD will go high after
a 15µs deglitching time. The switches will not be turned off
when PWRGD goes high.
GND (Pin 8): Chip Ground
AUXGATE (Pin 9): High Side Gate Drive for the 3.3V
Auxiliary External N-channel MOSFET. An internal charge
pump generates at least 8V of gate drive from a 3.3V
auxiliary supply. A zener clamps AUXGATE approximately
12V above the supply voltage at AUXIN. The rise time at
AUXGATE is set by an external AUXGATE capacitor connected to ground and an internal 10µA current source
provided by the charge pump. If the circuit breaker trips or
the auxiliary supply voltage hits the undervoltage lockout
threshold, a 50mA current sink rapidly pulls AUXGATE
low.
AUXSENSE (Pin 10): 3.3V Auxiliary Circuit Breaker Current Sense Input. The load current is monitored by a sense
resistor connected between AUXIN and AUXSENSE. The
circuit breaker trips if the voltage across the sense resistor
exceeds 50mV and the AUXGATE pin voltage will be turned
off.
AUXIN (Pin 11): 3.3V Auxiliary Supply Input. This pin
powers the auxiliary controller internal circuitry. An
undervoltage lockout circuit disables the AUXGATE pin
until the supply voltage at AUXIN is greater than 2.6V.
AUXGATE is held at ground potential until the undervoltage
lockout deactivates. If no 3.3V auxiliary supply is available,
tie AUXIN to ground.
AUXON (Pin 12): ON Control Input for Auxiliary Supply. A
rising edge turns on the external N-channel FET for 3.3V
auxiliary supply and a falling edge turns it off. If the AUXON
pin is cycled low then high following the trip of the circuit
breaker due to a 3.3V auxiliary supply fault, the circuit
breaker is reset.
3VIN (Pin 13): 3.3V Supply Sense Input. An undervoltage
lockout circuit prevents the switches from turning on
when the voltage at the 3VIN pin is less than 2.5V. If no 3.3V
input supply is available, tie 3VIN to the 5VIN pin.
3VSENSE (Pin 14): 3.3V Current Limit Set Pin. With a sense
resistor placed in the supply path between 3VIN and
3VSENSE, the GATE pin voltage will be adjusted to maintain

a constant voltage across the sense resistor and a
constant current through the switch. A foldback feature
makes the current limit decrease as the voltage at the
3VOUT pin approaches ground. To disable the current limit,
3VSENSE and 3VIN can be shorted together.
GATE (Pin 15): High Side Gate Drive for the 3.3V and 5V
PCI Supplies External N-channel MOSFETs. Requires an
external series RC network for the current limit loop
compensation and setting the minimum ramp-up rate.
During power-up, the slope of the voltage rise at the GATE
is set by the internal 60µA pull up current source and the
external GATE capacitor connected to ground. During
power-down, the slope of the falling voltage is set by the
200µA current source connected to ground and the external GATE capacitor.
5VSENSE (Pin 16): 5V Current Limit Set Pin. With a sense
resistor placed in the supply path between 5VIN and
5VSENSE, the GATE pin voltage will be adjusted to maintain
a constant voltage across the sense resistor and a constant current through the switch. A foldback feature makes
the current limit decrease as the voltage at the 5VOUT pin
approaches ground. To disable the current limit, 5VSENSE
and 5VIN can be shorted together.
5VIN (Pin 17): 5V Supply Sense Input. Used to monitor the
5V input supply voltage. An undervoltage lockout circuit
prevents the switches from turning on when the voltage at
the 5VIN pin is less than 3.9V.
5VOUT (Pin 18): 5V Output Monitor. Used to monitor the
5V output supply voltage. The PWRGD signal cannot go
low until the 5VOUT pin exceeds 4.65V.
VEEOUT (Pin 19): –12V Supply Output. A 1.2Ω switch is
connected between VEEIN and VEEOUT. VEEOUT must
fall below –10.5V before the PWRGD signal can go low on
the LTC4241.
12VOUT (Pin 20): 12V Supply Output. A 0.5Ω switch is
connected between 12VIN and 12VOUT. 12VOUT must
exceed 11.1V before the PWRGD signal can go low on the

Hot Circuit Insertion
When a circuit board is inserted into a live PCI slot, the
supply bypass capacitors on the board can draw huge
transient currents from the PCI power bus as they charge
up. The transient currents can cause permanent damage
to the connector pins and glitches the power bus, causing
other boards in the system to reset.
The LTC4241 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 PCI slot without
glitching the system power supplies. The chip also protects the PCI supplies from shorts and monitors the
supply voltages.
The LTC4241 is designed for motherboard applications
and includes an additional independent controller for the
3.3V auxiliary supply.
LTC4241 Feature Summary
8. Fault control: the current limit fault detected by either
the primary or auxiliary controller will not cause the other
controller to latch off. Both controllers use the FAULT
output to indicate a fault condition.
9. Space saving 20-pin narrow SSOP package.
PCI Power Requirements
PCI systems usually require four power rails: 5V, 3.3V,
–12V and 12V. Systems implementing the 3.3V signaling
environment are usually required to provide all four rails in
every system.
A 3.3V auxiliary supply is added in the PCI system to power
PCI logic functions that need to remain active when the
rest of the system is unpowered.
The tolerance of the supplies as measured at the components is summarized in Table 1.
