The MIC2085 and MIC2086 are single channel positive
voltage hot swap controllers designed to allow the safe
insertion of boards into live system backplanes. The MIC2085
and MIC2086 are available in 16-pin and 20-pin QSOP
packages, respectively. Using a few external components
and by controlling the gate drive of an external N-Channel
MOSFET device, the MIC2085/86 provide inrush current
limiting and output voltage slew rate control in harsh, critical
power supply environments. Additionally, a circuit breaker
function will latch the output MOSFET off if the current limit
threshold is exceeded for a programmed period of time. The
devices’ array of features provide a simplified yet robust
solution for many network applications in meeting the power
supply regulation requirements and affords protection of
critical downstream devices and components.

site at www.micrel.com.

this pin sets the timer duration for which an overvoltage condition will trigger
an external crowbar circuit. This timer begins when the OV input rises above
its threshold as an internal 45µA current source charges the capacitor. Once
the voltage reaches 470mV, the current increases to 1.5mA.

44ONON Input: Active high. The ON pin, an input to a Schmitt-triggered compara-
tor used to enable/disable the controller, is compared to a VTH reference
with 100mV of hysteresis. Once a logic high is applied to the ON pin

6N/APWRGDPower-Good Output: Open drain N-Channel device, active high. When the
voltage at the FB pin is lower than 1.24V, the PWRGD output is held low.
When the voltage at the FB pin is higher than 1.24V, then PWRGD is
asserted. A pull-up resistor connected to this pin and to VCC will pull the
output up to VCC. The PWRGD pin has a weak pull-up to VCC.
76/FAULTCircuit Breaker Fault Status Output: Open drain N-Channel device, active
low. The /FAULT pin is asserted when the circuit breaker trips due to an
overcurrent condition. Also, this pin indicates undervoltage lockout and
overvoltage fault conditions. The /FAULT pin has a weak pull-up to VCC.
87FBPower-Good Threshold Input: This input is internally compared to a 1.24V
reference with 3mV of hysteresis. An external resistive divider may be used
to set the voltage at this pin. If this input momentarily goes below 1.24V,
then /POR is activated for one timing cycle, t
undervoltage condition. The /POR signal de-asserts one timing cycle after
the FB pin exceeds the power-good threshold by 3mV. A 5µs filter on this pin
prevents glitches from inadvertently activating this signal.
9,108GNDGround Connection: Tie to analog ground.
119OVOV Input: When the voltage on OV exceeds its trip threshold, the GATE pin
is pulled low and the CRWBR timer starts. If OV remains above its threshold
long enough for CRWBR to reach its trip threshold, the circuit breaker is
tripped. Otherwise, the GATE pin begins to ramp up one POR timing cycle
after OV drops below its trip threshold.

undervoltage lockout condition occurs.
