Using an external N-channel pass transistor, board supply voltage and inrush current are ramped up at an adjustable rate. An I2C interface and onboard ADC allow for monitoring of load current, voltage and fault status. The device features adjustable foldback current limit and a soft-start pin that sets the dI/dt of the inrush current. An I2C interface may configure the part to latch off or automatically restart after the LTC4215 detects a current limit fault. The controller has additional features to interrupt the host when a fault has occurred, notify when output power is good, detect insertion of a load card, and power-up either automatically upon insertion or wait for an I2C command to turn on. , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

A voltage between 0V and 1.235V applied to this pin is measured by the onboard ADC. Tie to ground if unused. ADR0, ADR1, ADR2 (ADR1, ADR2 Available in QFN Package): Serial Bus Address Inputs. Tying these pins to ground, to the INTVCC pin or open configures one of 27 possible addresses. See Table 1 in Applications Information. ⎯ A⎯ L⎯ E⎯ R⎯T: Fault Alert Output. Open-drain logic output that is pulled to ground when a fault occurs to alert the host controller. A fault alert is enabled by the ⎯ A⎯ L⎯ E⎯ R⎯T register. See Applications Information. Tie to ground if unused. ⎯ E⎯N: (QFN package) Enable Input. Ground this pin to indicate a board is present and enable the N-channel MOSFET to turn on. When this pin is high, the MOSFET is not allowed to turn on. An internal 10µA current source pulls up this pin. Transitions on this pin are recorded in the Fault register. A high-to-low transition activates the logic to read the state of the ON pin and clear Faults.

FB: Foldback Current Limit and Power Good Input. A resistive divider from the output is tied to this pin. When the voltage at this pin drops below 1.235V, power is not considered good. The power bad condition may result in the GPIO pin pulling low or going high impedance depending on the configuration of control register bits A6 and A7. Also a power bad fault is logged in this condition if the LTC4215 has finished the start-up cycle and the GATE pin is high. See Applications Information. The start-up current limit folds back linearly from 25mV sense voltage at 0.6V to 10mV at 0.2V on the FB pin. Foldback is not active once the part leaves start-up and the current limit is increased to 75mV. GATE: Gate Drive for External N-Channel MOSFET. An internal 20µA current source charges the gate of the MOSFET. No compensation capacitor is required on the GATE pin, but a resistor and capacitor network from this pin to ground may be used to set the turn-on output voltage slew rate. During turn-off there is a 1mA pulldown current. During a short circuit or undervoltage lockout (VDD or INTVCC), a 450mA pulldown current source between GATE and SOURCE is activated. GND: Device Ground. GPIO: General Purpose Input/Output. Open-drain logic output or logic input. Defaults to an output set to pull low to indicate power is not good. Configure according to Table 2. INTVCC: Low Voltage Supply Decoupling Output. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from this pin to ground. ON: On Control Input. A rising edge turns on the external N-channel MOSFET and a falling edge turns it off. This pin also configures the state of the FET On bit in the control register (and hence the external MOSFET) at power up. For example, if the ON pin is tied high, then the FET On bit (A3 in Table 2) goes high 100ms after power-up. Likewise if the ON pin is tied low then the part remains off after power-up until the FET On bit is set high using the I2C bus. A high-to-low transition on this pin clears the fault register. OV (QFN Package): Overvoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin to an external resistive divider from VDD. If the voltage at this pin rises above 1.235V, an overvoltage fault is detected and the GATE turns off. Tie to GND if unused. SCL: Serial Bus Clock Input. Data at the SDA pin is shifted in or out on rising edges of SCL. This is a high impedance pin that is generally driven by an open-collector output from a master controller. An external pull-up resistor or current source is required. SDAO (QFN Package): Serial Bus Data Output. Open-drain output for sending data back to the master controller or acknowledging a write operation. Normally tied to SDAI to form the SDA line. An external pull-up resistor or current source is required. Internally tied to SDAI in SSOP package. SDAI: Serial Bus Data Input. A high impedance input for shifting in address, command or data bits. Normally tied to SDAO to form the SDA line. Internally tied to SDAO in SSOP package. SDA (SSOP Package): Serial Bus Data Input/Output Line. Formed by internally tying the SDAO and SDAI lines together. An external pull-up resistor or current source is required. SENSE+ (QFN Package): Positive Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to the input of the current sense resistor. Must be connected to the same trace as VDD. Internally tied to VDD in SSOP package. SENSE–: Negative Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to the output of the current sense resistor. The current limit circuit controls the GATE pin to limit the sense voltage between the SENSE and VDD pins to 25mV or less. SOURCE: N-Channel MOSFET Source and ADC Input. Connect this pin to the source of the external N-channel MOSFET switch for gate drive return. This pin also serves as the ADC input to monitor output voltage. The pin provides a return for the gate pulldown circuit. SS: Sets the inrush current slew rate at start-up. Connect a 68nF capacitor to provide 5mV/ms as the slew rate for the sense voltage in start-up. This corresponds to 1A/ms with a 5mΩ sense resistor. Note that a large soft-start capacitor and a small TIMER capacitor may result in a condition where the timer expires before the inrush current has started. Allow an additional 10nF of timer capacitance 4215fb 8 U U U LTC4215 PI FU CTIO S per 1nF of soft-start capacitor to ensure proper start-up. Use 1nF minimum to ensure an accurate inrush current. TIMER: Start-Up Timer Input. Connect a capacitor between this pin and ground to set a 12.3ms/µF duration for start-up, after which an overcurrent fault is logged if the inrush is still current limited. The duration of the off time is 600ms/µF when overcurrent auto-retry is enabled, resulting in a 1:50 duty cycle. An internal timer provides a 100ms start-up time and 5 seconds auto-retry time if this pin is tied to INTVCC. Allow an additional 10nF of timer capacitance per 1nF of soft-start (SS) capacitor to ensure proper start-up. The minimum value for the TIMER capacitor is 10nF. UV: Undervoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin to an external resistive divider from VDD. If the voltage at this pin falls below 1.227V, an undervoltage fault is detected and the GATE turns off. Pulling this pin below 0.4V resets all faults and allows the GATE to turn back on. Tie to INTVCC if unused. VDD: Supply Voltage Input. This pin has an undervoltage lockout threshold of 2.84V and overvoltage lockout threshold of 15.6V.

During normal operation, the charge pump and gate driver turn on an external N-channel MOSFET’s gate to pass power to the load. The gate driver uses a charge pump that derives its power from the VDD pin. Also included in the gate driver is an internal 6.5V GATE-to-SOURCE clamp. During start-up the inrush current is tightly controlled by using current limit foldback, soft start dI/dt limiting and output dV/dt limiting. The current sense (CS) amplifier monitors the load current using the difference between the SENSE+ (VDD for SSOP) and SENSE– pin voltages. The CS amplifier limits the current in the load by pulling back on the GATE-to-SOURCE voltage in an active control loop when the sense voltage exceeds the commanded value. The CS amplifier requires 20µA input bias current from both the SENSE+ and the SENSE– pins. A short circuit on the output to ground results in excessive power dissipation during active current limiting. To limit this power, the CS amplifier regulates the voltage between the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins at 75mV. If an overcurrent condition persists, the internal circuit breaker (CB) registers a fault when the sense voltage exceeds 25mV for more than 20µs. This indicates to the logic that it is time to turn off the GATE to prevent overheating. At this point the start-up TIMER pin voltage ramps down using the 2µA current source until the voltage drops below 0.2V (comparator TM1) which tells the logic that the pass transistor has cooled and it is safe to turn it on again if 10 W overcurrent auto-retry is enabled. If the TIMER pin is tied to INTVCC, the cool-down time defaults to 5 seconds on an internal system timer in the logic. The output voltage is monitored using the FB pin and the Power Good (PG) comparator to determine if the power is available for the load. The power good condition can be signaled by the GPIO pin using an open-drain pulldown transistor. The GPIO pin may also be configured to signal power bad, or as a general purpose input (GP comparator), or a general purpose open drain output. The Functional Diagram shows the monitoring blocks of the LTC4215. The group of comparators on the left side includes the undervoltage (UV), overvoltage (OV), reset ⎯⎯ (RST), enable (EN) and signal on (ON) comparators. These comparators determine if the external conditions are valid prior to turning on the GATE. But first the two undervoltage lockout circuits, UVLO1 and UVLO2, validate the input supply and the internally generated 3.1V supply, INTVCC. UVLO2 also generates the power-up initialization to the logic circuits as INTVCC crosses this rising threshold. If the fixed internal overvoltage comparator, OV2, detects that VDD is greater than 15.6V, the part immediately generates an overvoltage fault and turns the GATE off. Included in the LTC4215 is an 8-bit A/D converter. The converter has a 3-input multiplexer to select between the ADIN pin, the SOURCE pin and the VDD – SENSE voltage. An I2C interface is provided to read the A/D registers. It also allows the host to poll the device and determine if faults have occurred. If the ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T line is configured as an interrupt, the host is enabled to respond to faults in real time. The typical SDA line is divided into an SDAI (input) 4215fb U UW LTC4215 OPERATIO and SDAO (output). This simplifies applications using an optoisolator driven directly from the SDAO output. An application which uses optoisolation is shown in Figure 14. The I2C device address is decoded using the ADR0, APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO A typical LTC4215 application is in a high availability system in which a positive voltage supply is distributed to power individual cards. The device measures card voltages and currents and records past and present fault conditions. The system queries each LTC4215 over the I2C periodically and reads status and measurement information. A basic LTC4215 application circuit is shown in Figure 1. The following sections cover turn-on, turn-off and various faults that the LTC4215 detects and acts upon. External component selection is discussed in detail in the Design Example section. Turn-On Sequence The power supply on a board is controlled by using an external N-channel pass transistor (Q1) placed in the power path. Note that resistor RS provides current detection. Resistors R1, R2 and R3 define undervoltage and overvoltage levels. R5 prevents high frequency oscillations in Q1 and R6 and C1 form an optional network that may be used to provide an output dV/dt limited start-up.

These inputs have three states each that decode into a total of 27 device addresses. ADR1 and ADR2 are not available in the SSOP package; therefore, those pins are NC in the address map. Several conditions must be present before the external MOSFET turns on. First the external supply, VDD, must exceed its 2.84V undervoltage lockout level. Next the internally generated supply, INTVCC, must cross its 2.64V undervoltage threshold. This generates a 60µs to 120µs power-on-reset pulse. During reset the fault registers are cleared and the control registers are set or cleared as described in the register section. After a power-on-reset pulse, the LTC4215 goes through the following turn-on sequence. First the UV and OV pins indicate that input power is within the acceptable range, which is indicated by bits C0-C1 in Table 4. Second, the EN pin is externally pulled low. Finally, all of these conditions must be satisfied for the duration of 100ms to ensure that any contact bounce during insertion has ended. When these initial conditions are satisfied, the ON pin is checked and it’s state written to bit A3 in Table 2. If it is high, the external MOSFET is turned on. If the ON pin is low, the external MOSFET is turned on when the ON pin RS 0.005Ω Q1 FDC653N R7 30.1k 1% R8 3.57k 1% VOUT 12V CL 330µF + R4 24k R5 10Ω R6 15k C1 6.8nF UV VDD SENSE+ SENSE– GATE OV ON SDAI LTC4215UFD SDAO SCL ALERT SOURCE FB ADIN GPIO EN SS CSS 7.5nF TIMER INTVCC ADR0 ADR1 ADR2 GND CTIMER 0.68µF C3 0.1µF NC 4215 TA01a 11 LTC4215 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO is brought high or if a serial bus turn-on command is sent by setting bit A3. The MOSFET is turned on by charging up the GATE with a 20µA current source. When the GATE voltage reaches the MOSFET threshold voltage, the MOSFET begins to turn on and the SOURCE voltage then follows the GATE voltage as it increases. When the MOSFET is turning on, it ramps inrush current up linearly at a dI/dt rate selected by capacitor CSS. Once the inrush current reaches the limit set by the FB pin, the dI/dt ramp stops and the inrush current follows the foldback profile as shown in Figure 2. The TIMER pin integrates at 100µA during start-up and once it reaches its threshold of 1.235V, the part checks to see if it is in current limit, which indicates that it has started up into a short-circuit condition. If this is the case, the overcurrent fault bit, D2 in Table 5, is set and the part turns off. If the part is not in current limit, the 25mV circuit breaker is armed and the current limit is switched to 75mV. Alternately an internal 100ms start-up timer may be selected by tying the TIMER pin to INTVCC. As the SOURCE voltage rises, the FB pin follows as set by R7 and R8. Once FB crosses its 1.235V threshold, and the start-up timer has expired, the GPIO pin, in its default configuration, ceases to pull low and indicates that power is now good.

Power-Up Waveforms 12 U If R6 and C1 are employed for a constant current during start-up, which produces a constant dV/dt at the output, a 20µA pull-up current from the gate pin slews the gate upwards and the part is not in current limit. The start-up TIMER may expire in this condition and an OC fault is not generated even though start-up has not completed. Either the sense voltage increases to the 25mV CB threshold and generates an OC fault, or the FB pin voltage crosses its 1.235V power good threshold and the GPIO pin signals power good. GATE Pin Voltage A curve of GATE-to-SOURCE drive vs VDD is shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics. At minimum input supply voltage of 2.9V, the minimum GATE-to-SOURCE drive voltage is 5V. The GATE-to-SOURCE voltage is clamped below 6.5V to protect the gates of logic level N-channel MOSFETs. Turn-Off Sequence The GATE is turned off by a variety of conditions. A normal turn-off is initiated by the ON pin going low or a serial bus turn-off command. Additionally, several fault conditions turn off the GATE. These include an input overvoltage (OV pin), input undervoltage (UV pin), overcurrent circuit breaker (SENSE– pin), or EN transitioning high. Writing a logic one into the UV, OV or OC fault bits (D0-D2 in Table 5) also latches off the GATE if their auto-retry bits are set to false. Normally the MOSFET is turned off with a 1mA current pulling down the GATE pin to ground. With the MOSFET turned off, the SOURCE and FB voltages drop as CL discharges. When the FB voltage crosses below its threshold, GPIO pulls low to indicate that the output power is no longer good. If the VDD pin falls below 2.74V for greater than 2µs or INTVCC drops below 2.60V for greater than 1µs, a fast shut down of the MOSFET is initiated. The GATE pin is pulled down with a 450mA current to the SOURCE pin. Overcurrent Fault The LTC4215 features an adjustable current limit that protects against short circuits or excessive load current. 4215fb W U U LTC4215 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO An overcurrent fault occurs when the circuit breaker 25mV threshold has been exceeded for longer than the 20µs timeout delay. Current limiting begins immediately when the current sense voltage between the VDD and SENSE pins reaches 75mV. The GATE pin is then brought down and regulated in order to limit the current sense voltage to 75mV. When the 20µs circuit breaker time out has expired, the overcurrent present bit C2 is set. The external MOSFET is turned off and the overcurrent fault bit D2 is set at this time. After the MOSFET is turned off, the TIMER capacitor begins discharging with a 2µA pulldown current. When the TIMER pin reaches its 0.2V threshold the MOSFET is allowed to turn on again if the overcurrent fault has been cleared. However, if the overcurrent auto-retry bit, A2 has been set then the MOSFET turns on again automatically without resetting the overcurrent fault. Use a minimum value of 10nF for CT. If the TIMER pin is bypassed by tying it to INTVCC, the part is allowed to turn on again after an internal 5 second timer has expired, in the same manner as the TIMER pin passing its 0.2V threshold.

Short-Circuit Waveforms Overvoltage Fault An overvoltage fault occurs when either the OV pin rises above its 1.235V threshold, or the VDD pin rises above its 15.6V threshold, for more than 2µs. This shuts off the GATE with a 1mA current to ground and sets the overvoltage present bit C0 and the overvoltage fault bit D0. If the pin subsequently falls back below the threshold for 100ms, the GATE is allowed to turn on again unless overvoltage auto-retry has been disabled by clearing bit A0. U Undervoltage Fault An undervoltage fault occurs when the UV pin falls below its 1.235V threshold for more than 2µs. This turns off the GATE with a 1mA current to ground and sets undervoltage present bit C1 and undervoltage fault bit D1. If the UV pin subsequently rises above the threshold for 100ms, the GATE is turned on again unless undervoltage auto-retry has been disabled by clearing bit A1. When power is applied to the device, if UV is below its 1.235V threshold after INTVCC crosses its 2.64V undervoltage lockout threshold, an undervoltage fault is logged in the fault register. Board Present Change of State Whenever the ⎯E⎯N pin toggles, bit D4 is set to indicate a change of state. When the ⎯E⎯N pin goes high, indicating board removal, the GATE turns off immediately (with a 1mA current to ground) and clears the board present bit, C4. If the ⎯E⎯N pin is pulled low, indicating a board insertion, all fault bits except D4 are cleared and enable bit, C4, is set. If the ⎯E⎯N pin remains low for 100ms the state of the ON pin is captured in ‘FET On’ control bit A3. This turns the switch on if the ON pin is tied high. There is an internal 10µA pull-up current source on the ⎯E⎯N pin. If the system shuts down due to a fault, it may be desirable to restart the system simply by removing and reinserting a load card. In cases where the LTC4215 and the switch reside on a backplane or midplane and the load resides on a plug-in card, the ⎯E⎯N pin detects when the plug-in card is removed. Figure 4 shows an example where the ⎯E⎯N pin is used to detect insertion. Once the plug-in card is reinserted the fault register is cleared (except for D4). After 100ms the state of the ON pin is latched into bit A3 of the control register. At this point the system starts up again. If a connection sense on the plug-in card is driving the ⎯E⎯N pin, insertion or removal of the card may cause the pin voltage to bounce. This results in clearing the fault register when the card is removed. The pin may be debounced using a filter capacitor, CEN, on the ⎯E⎯N pin as shown in Figure 4. The filter time is given by: tFILTER = CEN • 123 (ms/µF) 4215fb W U U 13 LTC4215 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO OUT LTC4215 SOURCE + – GND 1.235V EN CEN MOTHERBOARD CONNECTOR Figure 4. Plug-In Card Insertion/Removal FET Short Fault A FET short fault is reported if the data converter measures a current sense voltage greater than or equal to 1.6mV while the GATE is turned off. This condition sets FET short present bit, C5, and FET short fault bit D5. Power Bad Fault A power bad fault is reported if the FB pin voltage drops below its 1.235V threshold for more than 2µs when the GATE is high. This pulls the GPIO pin low immediately when configured as power-good, and sets power-bad present bit, C3, and power bad fault bit D3. A circuit prevents power-bad faults if the GATE-to-SOURCE voltage is low, eliminating false power-bad faults during power-up or power-down. If the FB pin voltage subsequently rises back above the threshold, the GPIO pin returns to a high impedance state and bit C3 is reset. Fault Alerts When any of the fault bits in FAULT register D are set, an optional bus alert is generated if the appropriate bit in the ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T register B has been set. This allows only selected faults to generate alerts. At power-up the default state is to not alert on faults. If an alert is enabled, the corresponding fault causes the ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T pin to pull low. After the bus master controller broadcasts the Alert Response Address, the LTC4215 responds with its address on the SDA line and releases ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T as shown in Table 6. If there is a collision 14 U between two LTC4215s responding with their addresses simultaneously, then the device with the lower address wins arbitration and responds first. The ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T line is also released if the device is addressed by the bus master. LOAD W U U Once the ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T signal has been released for one fault, it is not pulled low again until the FAULT register indicates a different fault has occurred or the original fault is cleared and it occurs again. Note that this means repeated or continuing faults do not generate alerts until the associated FAULT register bit has been cleared. Resetting Faults Faults are reset with any of the following conditions. First, a serial bus command writing zeros to the FAULT register D clears the associated faults. Second, the entire FAULT register is cleared when the switch is turned off by the ON pin or bit A3 going from high to low, if the UV pin is brought below its 0.4V reset threshold for 2µs, or if INTVCC falls below its 2.64V undervoltage lockout threshold. Finally, when ⎯E⎯N is brought from high to low, only FAULT bits D0-D3 are cleared, and bit D4, that indicates a ⎯E⎯N change of state, is set. Note that faults that are still present, as indicated in STATUS Register C, cannot be cleared. The FAULT register is not cleared when auto-retrying. When auto-retry is disabled the existence of a D0, D1 or D2 fault keeps the switch off. As soon as the fault is cleared, the switch turns on. If auto-retry is enabled, then a high value in C0, C1 or C2 holds the switch off and the fault register is ignored. Subsequently, when bits C0, C1 and C2 are cleared by removal of the fault condition, the switch is allowed to turn on again. Data Converter The LTC4215 incorporates an 8-bit A/D converter that continuously monitors three different voltages. The SOURCE pin has a 1/12.5 resistive divider to monitor a full scale voltage of 15.4V with 60mV resolution. The ADIN pin is monitored with a 1.235V full scale and 4.82mV resolution, and the voltage between the VDD and SENSE pins is monitored with a 38.6mV full scale and 151µV resolution. Results from each conversion are stored in registers E (Sense), F (Source) and G (ADIN), as seen in Tables 6-8, 4215fb 4215 F04 PLUG-IN CARD LTC4215 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO and are updated 10 times per second. Setting CONTROL register bit A5 invokes a test mode that halts the data converter so that registers E, F, and G may be written to and read from for software testing. Configuring the GPIO Pin Table 2 describes the possible states of the GPIO pin using the control register bits A6 and A7. At power-up, the default state is for the GPIO pin to go high impedance when power is good (FB pin greater than 1.235V). Other applications for the GPIO pin are to pull down when power is good, a general purpose output and a general purpose input. Supply Transients The LTC4215 is designed to ride through supply transients caused by load steps. If there is a shorted load and the parasitic inductance back to the supply is greater than 0.5µH, there is a chance that the supply collapses before the active current limit circuit brings down the GATE pin. If this occurs, the undervoltage monitors pull the GATE pin low. The undervoltage lockout circuit has a 2µs filter time after VDD drops below 2.74V. The UV pin reacts in 2µs to shut the GATE off, but it is recommended to add a filter capacitor CF to prevent unwanted shutdown caused by a transient. Eventually either the UV pin or undervoltage lockout responds to bring the current under control before the supply completely collapses. Supply Transient Protection The LTC4215 is safe from damage with supply voltages up to 24V. However, spikes above 24V may damage the part. During a short-circuit condition, large changes in current flowing through power supply traces may cause inductive voltage spikes which exceed 24V. To minimize such spikes, the power trace inductance should be minimized by using wider traces or heavier trace plating. Also, a snubber circuit dampens inductive voltage spikes. Build a snubber by using a 100Ω resistor in series with a 0.1µF capacitor between VDD and GND. A surge suppressor, Z1 in Figure 1, at the input can also prevent damage from voltage surges. PDISS = U Design Example As a design example, take the following specifications: VIN = 12V, IMAX = 5A, IINRUSH = 1A, dI/dtINRUSH = 10A/ms, CL = 330µF, VUV(ON) = 10.75V, VOV(OFF) = 14.0V, VPWRGD(UP) = 11.6V, and I2C ADDRESS = 1010011. This completed design is shown in Figure 1. Selection of the sense resistor, RS, is set by the overcurrent threshold of 25mV: RS = 25mV = 0.005Ω IMAX The MOSFET is sized to handle the power dissipation during inrush when output capacitor COUT is being charged. A method to determine power dissipation during inrush is based on the principle that: Energy in CL = Energy in Q1 This uses: 2 Energy in CL = 1 CV 2 = 1 (0.33mF)(12) 2 2 W U U or 0.024 joules. Calculate the time it takes to charge up COUT: V 12V tCHARGEUP = CL • DD = 0.33mF • = 4ms IINRUSH 1A The power dissipated in the MOSFET: Energyin CL = 6W tCHARGEUP The SOA (safe operating area) curves of candidate MOSFETs must be evaluated to ensure that the heat capacity of the package tolerates 6W for 4ms. The SOA curves of the Fairchild FDC653N provide for 2A at 12V (24W) for 10ms, satisfying this requirement.

GATE UV OV R3 SS GND ON EN ALERT SDAO SDAI SCL ADR0 LTC4215UFD SOURCE VDD SENSE+ SENSE– Choose R1, R2, R3, R7 and R8 for the UV, OV and PG threshold voltages: VOV(RISING) = 14.0V, VOV(FALLING) = 13.5V (using VOV(TH) = 1.235 rising and 1.185V falling) VUV(RISING) = 10.75V, VUV(FALLING) = 10.6V (using VUV(TH) = 1.235V rising and 1.215V falling) VPG(RISING) = 11.6V, VPG(FALLING) = 10.85V (using VFB(TH) = 1.235V rising and 1.155V falling) A 0.1µF capacitor, CF, is placed on the UV pin to prevent supply glitches from turning off the GATE via UV or OV. The address is set with the help of Table 1, which indicates binary address 1010011 corresponds to address 19. Address 19 is set by setting ADR2 high, ADR1 open and ADR0 high. Next the value of R5 and R6 are chosen to be the default values 10Ω and 15k as discussed previously. In addition a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor is placed on the INTVCC pin. Layout Considerations To achieve accurate current sensing, a Kelvin connection is required. The minimum trace width for 1oz copper ILOAD NC 16 U foil is 0.02" per amp to make sure the trace stays at a reasonable temperature. Using 0.03" per amp or wider is recommended. Note that 1oz copper exhibits a sheet resistance of about 530µΩ/®. Small resistances add up quickly in high current applications. To improve noise immunity, put the resistive dividers to the UV, OV and FB pins close to the device and keep traces to VDD and GND short. It is also important to put the bypass capacitor for the INTVCC pin, C3, as close as possible between INTVCC and GND. A 0.1µF capacitor from the UV pin (and OV pin through resistor R2) to GND also helps reject supply noise. Figure 4 shows a layout that addresses these issues. Note that a surge suppressor, Z1, is placed between supply and ground using wide traces. SENSE RESISTOR RS ILOAD R1 Z1 FB GPIO R8 CF R2 C3 INTVCC TIMER ADIN ADR2 ADR1 4215 F05 W U U Figure 5. Recommended Layout Digital Interface The LTC4215 communicates with a bus master using a 2-wire interface compatible with I2C Bus and SMBus, an I2C extension for low power devices. The LTC4215 is a read-write slave device and supports SMBus bus Read Byte, Write Byte, Read Word and Write Word commands. The second word in a Read Word command is identical to the first word. The second word in a Write Word command is ignored. Data formats for these commands are shown in Figures 6 to 11. 4215fb LTC4215 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO SDA a6 - a0 SCL S 1-7 8 9 START CONDITION ADDRESS R/W ACK Figure 6. Data Transfer Over I2C or SMBus START and STOP Conditions When the bus is idle, both SCL and SDA are high. A bus master signals the beginning of a transmission with a start condition by transitioning SDA from high to low while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 6. When the master has finished communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP condition by transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL is high. The bus is then free for another transmission. I2C Device Addressing Twenty-seven distinct bus addresses are available using three 3-state address pins, ADR0-ADR2. Table 1 shows the correspondence between pin states and addresses. Note that address bits B7 and B6 are internally configured to 10. In addition, the LTC4215 responds to two special addresses. Address (1011 111) is a mass write address that writes to all LTC4215s, regardless of their individual address settings. Mass write can be disabled by setting register A4 to zero. Address (0001 100) is the SMBus Alert Response Address. If the LTC4215 is pulling low on the ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T pin, it acknowledges this address by broadcasting its address and releasing the ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T pin. Acknowledge The acknowledge signal is used in handshaking between transmitter and receiver to indicate that the last byte of data was received. The transmitter always releases the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse. When the slave is the receiver, it pulls down the SDA line so that it remains LOW during this pulse to acknowledge receipt of the data. If the slave fails to acknowledge by leaving SDA high, then the master may abort the transmission by generating a STOP condition. When the master is receiving U b7 - b0 b7 - b0 1-7 8 9 1-7 8 9 P DATA ACK DATA ACK STOP CONDITION 4215 F06 W U U data from the slave, the master pulls down the SDA line during the clock pulse to indicate receipt of the data. After the last byte has been received the master leaves the SDA line HIGH (not acknowledge) and issues a stop condition to terminate the transmission. Write Protocol The master begins communication with a START condition followed by the seven bit slave address and the R/⎯W bit set to zero, as shown in Figure 7. The addressed LTC4215 acknowledges this and then the master sends a command byte which indicates which internal register the master wishes to write. The LTC4215 acknowledges this and then latches the lower three bits of the command byte into its internal Register Address pointer. The master then delivers the data byte and the LTC4215 acknowledges once more and latches the data into its control register. The transmission is ended when the master sends a STOP condition. If the master continues sending a second data byte, as in a Write Word command, the second data byte is acknowledged by the LTC4215 but ignored, as shown in Figure 8. Read Protocol The master begins a read operation with a START condition followed by the seven bit slave address and the R/⎯W bit set to zero, as shown in Figure 9. The addressed LTC4215 acknowledges this and then the master sends a command byte which indicates which internal register the master wishes to read. The LTC4215 acknowledges this and then latches the lower three bits of the command byte into its internal Register Address pointer. The master then sends a repeated START condition followed by the 4215fb 17 LTC4215 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO S 1 0 a4:a0 ADDRESS W A 00 FROM MASTER TO SLAVE FROM SLAVE TO MASTER Figure 7.

The ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T line is also released if the device is addressed by the bus master. The ⎯A⎯L⎯E⎯R⎯T signal is not pulled low again until the FAULT register indicates a different fault has occurred or the original fault is cleared and it occurs again. Note that this means repeated or continuing faults do not generate alerts until the associated FAULT register bit has been cleared. 4215fb LTC4215 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO DESCRIPTION Mass Write Alert Response 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 DEVICE ADDRESS h BE 19 80 82 84 86 88 8A 8C 8E 90 92 94 96 98 9A 9C 9E A0 A2 A4 A6 A8 AA AC AE B0 B2 B4 7 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Table 1A.
