General Description
The MAX5954 hot-plug controller is designed for PCI
Express™ applications. The device provides hot-plug
control for 12V, 3.3V, and 3.3V auxiliary supplies of a single PCI Express (PCI-E) slot. The MAX5954’s logic
inputs/outputs allow interfacing directly with the system
hot-plug management controller or through an SMBus™
with an external I/O expander. Integrated debounced
attention switch and present-detect signals are included
to simplify system design.
The MAX5954 drives two external n-channel MOSFETs
to control the 12V and 3.3V main outputs. The 3.3V auxiliary output is controlled through an internal 0.3Ω
n-channel MOSFET. An internal charge pump provides
gate drive for the 12V output while the gate drive of the
3.3V output is driven by the 12V input supply. The 3.3V
auxiliary output is completely independent from the
main outputs with its own charge pump.
At power-up, the MAX5954 keeps all of the external
MOSFETs off until the supplies rise above their respective undervoltage-lockout (UVLO) thresholds. The
device keeps the internal MOSFET off only until the auxiliary input supply rises above its UVLO threshold. Upon
a turn-on command, the MAX5954 enhances the external and internal MOSFETs slowly with a constant gate
current to limit the power-supply inrush current. The
MAX5954 actively limits the current of all outputs at all
times and shuts down if an overcurrent condition persists for longer than a programmable overcurrent timeout. Thermal-protection circuitry also shuts down all
outputs if the die temperature exceeds +150°C. After an
overcurrent or overtemperature fault condition, the
MAX5954L latches off while the MAX5954A automatically restarts after a restart time delay. The device is available in a 36-pin (6mm × 6mm) thin QFN package and
operates over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
