ADM1170

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADM1170 is a hot swap controller that safely enables a
printed circuit board to be removed and inserted to a live
backplane. This is achieved using an external N-channel power
MOSFET with a current control loop that monitors the load
current through a sense resistor. An internal charge pump is
used to enhance the gate of the N-channel FET. When an
overcurrent condition is detected, the gate voltage of the FET is
reduced to limit the current flowing through the sense resistor.

The ADM1170 operates with a supply voltage ranging from

2.7 V to 16.5 V. By using independent SENSE pins from V
the ADM1170 allows for the hot swap of supplies ranging down
to 1.6 V. During an overcurrent condition, the TIMER pin
capacitor determines the amount of time the FET remains at
a current limiting mode of operation until it is shut down. The
ON (ON-

CLR

) pin is the enable input for the device and can be
used to monitor the input supply voltage. The ADM1170 also
features soft start to provide the user with a capacitor program­mable ramping reference to the internal current sense comparator.
This provides a linearly increasing current limit at startup at a
rate set by C

. This helps to reduce and limit large inrush

SS

currents.

ESD CAUTION

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS

θJA is specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, a device
soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount packages.

1 TIMER

Timer Input Pin. The initial and circuit breaker timing cycles are set by this external capacitor. The initial timing
delay is 272.9 ms/F, and 21.7 ms/µF for a circuit breaker delay. When the TIMER pin is pulled beyond the

upper threshold, the GATE turns off.
2 GND Chip Ground Pin.
3 SS

Soft Start Pin. An external capacitor between the SS pin and GND sets the ramp rate of the current limit

reference.

ON (ON-

CLR) Input Pin. The ON (ON-CLR) pin is an input to a comparator that has a low-to-high threshold of 1.3 V with

80 mV hysteresis and a glitch filter. The ADM1170 is reset when the ON (ON-

(ON-CLR) pin is high, the ADM1170 is enabled. A rising edge on this pin has the added function of clearing a

fault and restarting the device on the latched off model, the ADM1170-2.
5 GATE

Gate Output Pin. An internal charge pump provides a 12 µA pull-up current to drive the gate of an N-channel

MOSFET. In an overcurrent condition, the ADM1170 controls the external FET to maintain a constant load

current.
6, 7 SENSE−, SENSE+

Current Limit Sense Input Pins. The current limit is set via a sense resistor between the SENSE+ and SENSE−

pins. In an overcurrent condition, the gate of the FET is controlled to maintain the SENSE voltage at 50 mV.

When this limit is reached, the TIMER circuit breaker mode is activated. The circuit breaker limit can be

disabled by connecting the SENSE+ and SENSE− pins together.
8 VCC

Positive Supply Input Pin. The ADM1170 operates between 2.7 V to 16.5 V. An undervoltage lockout (UVLO)

circuit with a glitch filter resets the ADM1170 when the supply voltage drops below the specified UVLO limit.
