10 / 14 page MIC2588/MIC2594 Micrel M9999-122303 10 December 2003 Functional Description Hot Swap Insertion When circuit boards are inserted into systems carrying live supply voltages (“hot swapped”), high inrush currents often result due to the charging of bulk capacitance that resides across the circuit board’s supply pins. These current spikes can cause the system’s supply voltages to temporarily go out of regulation, causing data loss or system lock-up. In more extreme cases, the transients occurring during a hot swap event may cause permanent damage to connectors or on- board components. The MIC2588 and the MIC2594 are designed to address these issues by limiting the magnitude of the transient current during hot swap events. This is achieved by controlling the rate at which power is applied to the circuit board (di/dt and dv/dt management). In addition, to inrush current control, the MIC2588 and the MIC2594 incorporate input voltage super- visory functions and current limiting, thereby providing robust protection for both the system and the circuit board. Start-Up Cycle When the input voltage to the IC is between the overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds (MIC2588) or is greater than V ON (MIC2594), a start cycle is initiated. At this time, the GATE pin of the IC applies a constant charging current (I GATEON) to the gate of the external MOSFET (M1). CFDBK creates a Miller integrator out of the MOSFET circuit, which limits the slew-rate of the voltage at the drain of M1. The drain voltage rate-of-change (dv/dt) of M1 is: dv M1 dt I C – I C DRAIN GATE(–) FDBK GATEON FDBK () = = where I GATE(+) = Gate Charging Current = IGATEON; I GATE(–) ≅ –I GATE(+), due to the extremely high transconductance values of power MOSFETs; and IC dv M1 dt GATE(–) FDBK DRAIN =× () Relating the above to the maximum transient current into the load capacitance to be charged upon hot swap or power-up involves a simple extension of the same formula: I Cdv M1 dt IC – I C | I | CI C CHARGE LOAD DRAIN CHARGE LOAD GATEON FDBK CHARGE LOAD GATEON FDBK = × () =× = × Transposing: C CI | I | FDBK LOAD GATEON CHARGE = × (1) C GATE and RFDBK prevent turn-on and hot swap current surges which would otherwise be caused by (C FDBK + C D-G(M1)) coupling turn-on transients from the drain to the gate of M1. An appropriate value for C GATE may be deter- mined using the formula for a capacitive voltage divider: Maximum voltage on C GATE at turn-on must be less than V THRESHOLD of M1: 1. For a standard 10V enhancement N-Channel MOSFET, V THRESHOLD is about 4.25V. 2. Choose 3.5V as a safe maximum voltage to safely avoid turn-on transients. V G-S(M1) × [CGATE + (CFDBK + CD-G(M1))] = [(V DD – VEE(min)) × (CFDBK + CD-G(M1))] V G-S(M1) × CGATE = [(VDD – VEE(min)) – VG-S(M1)] × (CFDBK + CD-G(M1)) CC C V – V (min) – V V GATE FDBK D G(Q1) DD EE G-S(M1) G-S(M1) =+ ()×() − (2) While the value for R FDBK is not critical, it should be chosen to allow a maximum of several milliamperes to flow in the gate-drain circuit of M1 during turn-on. While the final value for R FDBK is determined empirically, initial values between R FDBK = 15kΩ to 27kΩ for systems with a maximum value of 75V for (V DD – VEE(min)) are appropriate. Resistor R4, in series with the MOSFETs gate, minimizes the potential for parasitic high frequency oscillations from occur- ring in M1. While the exact value of R4 is not critical, commonly used values for R4 range from 10 Ω to 33Ω. For example, let us assume a hot swap controller is required to maintain the inrush current into a 150 µF load capacitance at 1.7A maximum, and that this circuit may operate from supply voltages as high as (V DD – VEE) = 75V. The MOSFET to be used with the MIC2588/94 is an IRF540NS 100V D2PAK device which has a typical (C D-G) of 250pF. Calculating a value for C FBDK using Equation 1 yields: C 150 F 45 A 1.7A 3.97nF FDBK = µ× µ = Good engineering practice suggests the use of the worst- case parameter values for I GATEON from the “DC Electrical Characteristics” section: C 150 F 60 A 1.7A 5.3nF FDBK = µ× µ = where the nearest standard 5% value is 5.6nF. Substituting 5.6nF into Equation 2 from above yields: C 5.6nF 250pF 75V – 3.5V 3.5V 0.12 F GATE =+ () × () =µ Finally, choosing R4 = 10 Ω and R FDBK = 20kΩ will yield a suitable, initial design for prototyping. |
