PRODUCTS DIVISION
The 53248 is a 28 VDC Solid State High Side Power Controller (SSPC) that is designed to replace electromagnetic
circuit breakers rated at 10 amperes. It is a high side switch utilizing N-channel vertical power FET technology with
integral charge pump. The SSPC provides a status output that signals a variety of conditions including over
temperature shutdown, overvoltage or undervoltage, over-current or short circuit. It will trip off for any of the above
conditions and automatically (based on an internal thermal time constant) cycle On/Off until the fault or the control
signal is removed.
Using vertical MOSFET technology, the SSPC offers extremely low “ON” resistance. This results in very low power
dissipation, which allows operation over the temperature range of –40°C to +85°C with minimal heat sinking.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 53248 SSPC is a fully protected switch that offers a wide range of features. These include overvoltage and
undervoltage shutdown with automatic reset, overcurrent and short circuit protection provided by temperature
sensing with automatic reset when temperature drops to safe levels, built in transient protection and fully optically
isolated control and status lines. The overcurrent and short circuit protection are achieved through the
temperature-sensing feature of the controller. Overcurrent is sensed through the increasing R
increase power dissipation in the pass element, which additionally causes a further increase in R
junction temperature approaches +150°C, drive to the pass element is decreased, causing V
to increase. When
DS
the pass element temperature is between +150°C and +175°C, the drive to the pass element is removed and
current flow ceases. When the temperature is reduced approximately 10°C the device will resume operations.
This will continue until the overcurrent/short circuit is removed or the control is turned off. Status will indicate the
overcurrent condition until the fault is removed.

28 VDC SOLID STATE HIGH SIDE SELF-PROTECTED POWER CONTROLLER
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The cable harness occupies an important position in the total network to be protected. The wide variety and in
some cases considerable length and packing density used makes them particularly susceptible to persistent
overloads and overheating. The maximum current carrying capacity of a cable depends on its resistance, type of
insulation material and the ambient temperature. A cable, including insulation, generally consists of at least two
materials with different thermal capacitance and thermal resistance. The maximum temperatures of most cables
are at least +150°C (depending on the insulation properties) which is very close to the maximum junction
temperature of the SSPC (Shutdown). Since under overcurrent or short circuit conditions, the unit resistance per
unit length for the cable is much less than the R
these conditions, it is apparent that the SSPC can adequately protect properly selected cabling.
The following formulas provide methods for calculating the primary parameters.

Precaution
When a short circuit causes turn-off of the SSPC, precautions must be taken to limit transient voltages generated by
any inductance in the load. External protection is recommended, either across the switch or across the load, should
the application result in energies beyond this level.

Inductive loads require protecting the SSPC from voltage transients as pointed out in the precaution section above.
Charging Capacitive loads is generally not
capacitive loads, the user must assure that junction temperatures are not exceeded and at turn off if the V
a problem due to the auto-reset feature of the current limit function. For
drops
CC
below the voltage charge on the capacitor, any current will flow through the body diode of the FET switch. Since this
is a normal PN junction, the power dissipated for a given current can be many times that of the forward current
through the FET.
Incandescent lamps must be treated much like capacitive loads in that in-rush currents at turn-on can cause an
overcurrent condition.
DC motors must be treated like capacitive loads because in-rush currents can be very high. Should a machine
continue to rotate after power is removed, reverse currents due to back EMF need to be addressed.
Heatsinking
The SSPC is designed to take advantage of the relationship between junction temperatures and heat sink thermal
impedance. As described in the section discussing current trip characteristics, the thermal impedance of the heat sink
utilized can determine the magnitude of over current or short circuit current expected in a system.

Offset voltage
The Power MOSFETs used in Micropac’s SSPC have very low on resistance and therefore low power dissipation.
Typical on-state resistance at 25°C is only 27 mΩ. Due to internal design the typical V
relatively constant until the current reaches approximately 2 amperes when V
R
is constant at Tj of +25°C. Maximum RDS at +150°C is 70 mΩ.
DS
is 60 mV. For higher currents, the

Since the design of SSPC current limit is temperature dependent, there is no need for a current sensing resistor and
therefore no additional voltage drop which would add to the R

Isolation of Control and Status
The SSPC was designed to utilize optical isolation both on the input/control and the status feed back. The only input
power required is that necessary to drive a control LED and provide pull up power for the open collector status
transistor. The SSPC derives its energy for operation from the 28 VDC load supply. As a result, the power in and
power out are completely isolated.
