FireWire Current Limiter and Low-Drop ORing Switch Controller
General Description
The MAX5943 is a fully integrated power-management IC for FireWire(R) applications. This device controls two external power n-channel MOSFETs to regulate current from the input power supply to the load and performs low-voltage-drop, power-supply ORing. The MAX5943 operates over a 7.5V to 37V input range and provides inrush and output current limit in addition to a diode ORing function suitable for FireWire applications. The MAX5943 allows the safe insertion and removal of FireWire peripherals into a live FireWire port by providing inrush current control and an output current-limiting function. The ORing feature provides a very efficient way to protect the FireWire port when connected to another FireWire peripheral that sources a higher voltage. By turning off both external MOSFETS, the MAX5943 provides a true bidirectional load disconnect. A low-current shutdown mode disables the MAX5943, resulting in less than 10A supply current. A pin-selectable input allows latched or autoretry fault management after a fault. The MAX5943A features a current-limit function that actively limits the current drawn by the load with a programmable timeout. The MAX5943B-MAX5943E do not actively limit the load current but provide a circuit-breaker function. See the Selector Guide for the default and programmable circuit-breaker timeouts. The MAX5943 operates over the -40C to +85C extended temperature range and is available in a 16-pin QSOP package.

All min/max parameters are tested at +25C and +85C. Limits at -40C are guaranteed by design. Measured at both VGATE2 = VOUT = 0V and VGATE2 = VOUT = VIN. The typical value of parameter VTHF is 1.5 x VTH. Current-Limit/Circuit-Breaker Timeout; IN or ON low. See the Typical Operating Circuit. Measured at VGATE1 = VSENSE. The tristate ("floating") logic condition will be entered if the pin current is within these limits. RTIM is connected from TIM to GND. The maximum timeout period is enforced to prevent arbitrarily long operation in current-limit mode. Therefore, the relationship between resistor value and timeout changes for large values of RTIM. See Current-Limit Timeout vs. RTIM in the Typical Operating Characteristics for nominal values. Note 8: Parameter tOFF is a direct multiple of tILIM (or tCB), so the limits for tOFF track the limits for tILIM (or tCB). Note 9: If the ON voltage goes below VON_REF - Hysteresis, then GATE2 goes low immediately to disconnect power from the load quickly (within tON_OFF).

Figure 1. MAX5943 Functional Diagram
Detailed Description
The MAX5943 performs hot-swapping, power-supply ORing, and current limiting for FireWire power-supply applications. The MAX5943 incorporates two MOSFET drivers (GATE1 and GATE2) to control two external n-channel power MOSFETs to perform low-voltage-drop power-supply ORing (GATE1) and hot swapping and current limiting (GATE2) from the input power supply to the load. A sense resistor provides accurate currentlimiting/circuit-breaker function. GATE1 and GATE2 provide true load disconnect to prevent current flowing from either direction between IN and OUT. The MAX5943 remains in low-current shutdown mode when VON is below the 0.4V threshold. Low-current shutdown mode disables the MAX5943, resulting in less than 10A supply current. Shutdown places all
10
logic inputs in a high-impedance state allowing the inputs to be connected to IN without drawing additional current from the supply. When the input supply voltage (VIN) is above 7.5V and VON is above the VON_REF threshold, the MAX5943 turns on, sourcing 45A current from GATE2 (current regulation) to enhance Q2 slowly. For the MAX5943A, if the voltage across the current-sense resistor, VIS, is greater than the programmed current-limit threshold, the MAX5943A regulates the GATE2 voltage to limit the load current at the current-limit level so that VIS is equal to VTH. In normal operation, VIS drops below VTH and GATE2 rises to approximately 5.5V above OUT. Since the MAX5943B-MAX5943E do not regulate the load current, a capacitor can be added from GATE2 to GND to limit inrush current during startup (see the Applications Information section).
______________________________________________________________________________________
FireWire Current Limiter and Low-Drop ORing Switch Controller
The MAX5943 current-limit/circuit-breaker timeout is programmable by connecting an external resistor from TIM to GND. The MAX5943A has a default 2ms currentlimit timeout. The MAX5943B, MAX5943C, MAX5943D, and MAX5943E have 0.5ms, 1ms, 2ms, and 4ms default circuit-breaker timeouts, respectively. GATE1 controls the MAX5943 ORing function. Initially, GATE1 is off (ONQ1 = low) and the load current conducts through the body diode of Q1. GATE1 rises to 5.5V above SENSE when VIS exceeds VOR, thereby enhancing Q1 and reducing the voltage drop, power dissipation, and heat generation in the power-supply path. When a voltage greater than VIN is connected at OUT, the higher voltage source commences, providing current to the load. The MAX5943 rapidly turns off GATE1 upon VIS falling below VOR - hysteresis, thus blocking the higher voltage from back-driving V IN . GATE1 also turns off when the load current drops, causing VIS to fall below the VOR hysteresis.

Current Limiting/Circuit Breaker
Current Limiting (MAX5943A Only) The MAX5943A limits the load current by monitoring the voltage across RSENSE at all times and by regulating the current to the load as necessary to keep VIS to its programmable current-limit threshold voltage (VTH). Set the maximum current limit (ILIMIT) by placing the appropriate sense resistor between IN and SENSE, where ILIMIT = VTH/RSENSE. When the load current is less than ILIMIT, GATE2 rises to VG2 (5.5V) to fully enhance MOSFET Q2 (see the Typical Operating Circuit). When the load current attempts to draw more than ILIMIT, the MAX5943A's GATE2 pulldown current (IG2D) regulates the current through Q2 causing OUT to act as a constant-current source. The output current is limited to the programmed ILIMIT. If the current-limit condition persists after the current-limit timeout (tILIM) period has expired, GATE2's strong pulldown current (IG2 OFF) quickly turns off GATE2 to disconnect the load from the power supply. FAULT then asserts low (Figure 2a). If the current-limit duration is less than tILIM, GATE2 pulls to VG2 (Figure 2b). During an output short circuit or a gross overload, the load current overshoots and causes VIS to exceed the fast pulldown current-limit threshold voltage (VTHF). The MAX5943A responds with much stronger GATE2 pulldown currents (IG2DP and/or IG2DF) to quickly bring the load current back down to the programmed current limit.

MAX5943B-MAX5943E Circuit Breaker The MAX5943B-MAX5943E provide a circuit-breaker function that protects against excessive load currents and short-circuit conditions. The load current is monitored by sensing the voltage across an external sense resistor (R SENSE ) and disconnects the load from the power source when the voltage across RSENSE, VIS, exceeds the programmed circuit-breaker thresholds (VTH) for longer than the circuit-breaker timeout period, tCB. Unlike the MAX5943A, when an output short circuit or overcurrent occurs, the MAX5943B-MAX5943E keep GATE2 fully enhanced. The short-circuit current is limited only by the input source impedance, RSENSE, Q1's RDS(ON), Q2's RDS(ON), and any parasitic impedance in the power path. If the excessive current condition persists (as indicated by VIS > VTH) for longer than tCB, GATE2 turns off with a strong pulldown (IG2 OFF) to quickly disconnect the power source from the load and FAULT asserts low (Figure 3). Exercise caution when using the MAX5943B-MAX5943E. Unlike the MAX5943A, the MAX5943B-MAX5943E do not limit the load current during tCB. High current during tCB may cause damage to external devices connected in the power path.
MAX5943
Current-Limit/Circuit-Breaker Thresholds
The MAX5943 allows three selectable current-limit/circuit-breaker thresholds (V TH ). Choose the voltage threshold by connecting ILIM to the appropriate level; see Table 1.

Current-Limit/Circuit-Breaker Timeout Period (tILIM/tCB)
The MAX5943's current-limit/circuit-breaker timeout function disconnects power from the load if the currentlimit or circuit-breaker threshold voltage exceeds its maximum limit for a programmable amount of time. Connect TIM to IN for the MAX5943 default timeout periods (see Table 2). Adjust the fault timeout period (tILIM/ tCB) by connecting a resistor (RTIM) from TIM to GND (see the Typical Operating Characteristics). Calculate the fault-limit timeout period using the following equation: tILIM (ms) = t CB (ms) = 0.25 x R TIM (k) K
VFAULT
where RTIM is in k, tILIM/tCB is in ms, and K = 1 for MAX5943A, K = 32 for MAX5943B, K = 16 for MAX5943C, K = 8 for MAX5943D, and K = 4 for the MAX5943E.

Timing accuracy is guaranteed for RTIM ranging from 4k to 50k. Large RTIM values can be used, which reduces timing accuracy. A maximum timeout period is enforced to prevent arbitrarily long operation in currentlimit/circuit-breaker conditions. Long durations in current-limit/circuit-breaker mode may produce excessive heating and electrical stresses in RSENSE, Q1, Q2, and any other components in the power path. Use component values rated to handle electrical stresses during the timeout period.

Power-Supply ORing (ONQ1 = Low)
GATE1 controls the MAX5943 ORing function. The MAX5943 accomplishes a very-low-voltage-drop diode ORing function using an n-channel power MOSFET, Q1. Initially, GATE1 is off (ONQ1 = low) and the load current conducts through the body diode of Q1 (Figure 4). GATE1 rises to 5.5V above SENSE when VIS exceeds VOR, enhancing Q1. Q1's low RDS(ON) provides a verylow-voltage drop across its source to drain, reducing voltage drop, power dissipation, and heat generation in the power-supply path created by a traditional diode. The MAX5943 continuously monitors the load current by the voltage drop, VIS, across the current-sensing resistor. Q1 turns off rapidly when VIS decreases below VOR minus its hysteresis. Set the MAX5943 ORing threshold (VOR) by connecting OR_ADJ to GND for a 5mV threshold, or to IN for a 10mV threshold, or leave it open for a 7.5mV threshold. Connect ONQ1 to GND for normal ORing function. Drive ONQ1 high to force Q1 on, regardless of the load current condition, as long as the voltages at IN and ON exceed V UVLO and V ON_REF , respectively, and the device is not in a current fault shutdown.

Figure 5. MAX5943 ORing Controller Rerouting Load Current
When a higher voltage supply is connected at OUT (Figure 5), the sense voltage drops below the programmable ORing threshold. The MAX5943 immediately turns off Q1, blocking reverse current flow from OUT to IN. The power is then routed from the higher supply input to the load (Figure 6). Reverse Current Override (ONQ1 = High) Drive ONQ1 high to disable the power-supply ORing function. Disabling the MAX5943 ORing function allows reverse current flow through the power-supply system. When ONQ1 is high, GATE1 remains fully enhanced as long as VIN is greater than VUVLO, VON is above the VON_REF threshold, and the MAX5943 is not in a current-limit or circuit-breaker fault condition. The MAX5943 reverse-current flow feature permits a higher voltage source connected to one port to route power to another port, as long as the voltage at IN remains above the minimum 7.5V operating range (see Figure 7).

Undervoltage Lockout
The MAX5943 operates from 7.5V to 37V and has a default 6.5V undervoltage lockout threshold. The external MOSFETs remain off as long as VIN > 6.5V and VON < VON_REF. The turn-on threshold is programmable by connecting a resistor-divider at ON. When VON > 1.24V and VIN > 7.5V, GATE2 is enhanced to 5.5V, with respect to OUT and the MAX5943 goes into normal operation. Program the MAX5943's turn-on voltage using the following formula: VTURN _ ON R1 = - 1 x R2 1.24 where VTURN_ON is the desired turn-on voltage of the MAX5943. Choose an R2 value in the 1k range to minimize error due to the ON bias current. When operating the MAX5943, ON must remain above its 1.24V threshold. If VON falls below its 1.24V threshold, the power-supply MOSFETs (Q1 and Q2) turn off immediately (less than 1s). This allows the power supply to disconnect in the event of a fault condition

The MAX5943 remains in low-current shutdown mode when VON is below the 0.4V threshold. Low-current shutdown mode disables the MAX5943 resulting in less than 10A supply current. Shutdown places all logic inputs in a high-impedance state allowing the inputs to be connected to IN without drawing additional current from the supply. An internal delay, tSD, allows Q1 and Q2 to be turned off before the MAX5943 enters lowcurrent shutdown mode.

Fault Status Output (FAULT)
FAULT is a high-voltage open-drain output that pulls low when a current-limit/circuit-breaker fault shutdown has occurred. FAULT remains low until the next startup cycle.
Fault Management
The MAX5943 offers either latch or autoretry fault management configurable by the LATCH input. Connect LATCH to IN for latch fault management or connect LATCH to GND for autoretry fault management. In latch fault management, FAULT latches low, GATE1 and GATE2 latch off indefinitely. Cycle ON low and then high to unlatch and restart the MAX5943. However, the MAX5943 will not enter a startup cycle until tOFF has expired. Figure 9 illustrates a way to reset the MAX5943 after a fault using a pushbutton switch. In autoretry fault management, the MAX5943_ attempt to restart after a tOFF of 128 x tILIM (or 128 x tCB) limiting the duty cycle of the MOSFETs to 1/129 under continuous fault conditions. FAULT deasserts every time a restart attempt is made.

Applications Information
Startup Consideration
MAX5943A During startup, a large capacitor at OUT may result in a charging current equivalent to the current limit. Choose a current-limit timeout that will allow a successful startup. The timeout can be approximated using the following equation: tILIM > COUT x VIN ILIMIT - ILOAD
Figure 10. Controlling the MAX5943B-MAX5943E Inrush Current
MAX5943B-MAX5943E The MAX5943B-MAX5943E do not control the inrush current during startup. Inrush current control can be implemented by placing a resistor and capacitor at GATE2 (Figure 10) to slowly ramp up the gate voltage, thus limiting the inrush current. The inrush current can be approximated using the following formula: IINRUSH = COUT x IG2U + ILOAD CGATE2
where ILIMIT is the programmed current limit, COUT is the capacitor at OUT, VIN is the supply voltage, and ILOAD is the load current during startup. With IN = 12V, C OUT = 330F, I LIMIT = 1.5A, and I LOAD = 0, the MAX5943 commences by charging the output capacitor with 1.5A for approximately 2.7ms. Therefore, the MAX5943A current-limit timeout period (tILIM) should be greater than 2.7ms for a successful startup. Otherwise, the MAX5943A powers up in fault management mode by exceeding the current-limit timeout period.
Where I G2U is GATE2's 45A sourcing current and ILOAD is the load current at startup. To prevent the MAX5943B-MAX5943E from starting up in a fault condition set: IINRUSH < VTH RSENSE

Optimizing for Short-Circuit Conditions
Choosing RSENSE Select a sense resistor that causes the circuit-breaker voltage drop at a current-limit/circuit-breaker level above the maximum normal operating current. Typically, set the overload current at 1.2 to 1.5 times the full load current. Choose the sense-resistor power rating to accommodate an overcurrent condition: PRSENSE = I2LIMIT x RSENSE where PRSENSE is the power dissipated across RSENSE during a current-limit/circuit-breaker fault. Under short-circuit conditions, it is imperative that the appropriate sense resistor is utilized. Operating the MAX5943B-MAX5943E at high input voltages can cause very large currents during the circuit-breaker timeout period. The peak current will be limited by the saturation current of Q2 or the series resistance in the power path (RTOTAL). Using a 30m on-resistance MOSFET at GATE1 and GATE2 and a 30m sense resistor results in a short-circuit current approximately equal to: ISC = VIN/RTOTAL where: RTOTAL = RSENSE + 2 x (RON) = 30m + 2 x (30m) = 90m For example, an input voltage of 20V produces a current at approximately 222A (or ISAT of Q2, whichever is less) in the power path for the circuit-breaker timeout period. Choose an RSENSE capable of handling the high power dissipation during a short-circuit event. MOSFET Selection Select external MOSFETs according to the application current level. The MOSFETs' on-resistance (RDS(ON)) should be chosen low enough to have minimum voltage drop at full load to limit the MOSFET power dissipation. High RDS(ON) also causes large output ripple if there is a pulsating load. Determine the device power rating to accommodate startup, a short-circuit condition, and when the device is in autoretry mode. During normal operation, the external MOSFETs dissipate little power. The power dissipated in normal operation is: P = ILOAD2 x RDS(ON) The most power dissipation occurs during a short-circuit event, resulting in high power dissipated in Q2 (Figure 11) during the timeout period for the MAX5943A, where the power dissipated across Q2 is: PQ2 = (VIN - VIS - VQ1 ) x ILIMIT For the MAX5943B-MAX5943E, a short-circuit event results in high power dissipated in both Q1 and Q2 during the timeout period (Figure 12) where the total power dissipated in either MOSFET is: P = ISC2 x RDS(ON) where: ISC = VIN/REQ and REQ = RSENSE +RDS(ON1) + RDS(ON2) The programmable timeout of the MAX5943 allows the use of MOSFETs with low power ratings. A MOSFET typically withstands single-shot pulses with higher dissipation than the specified package rating.
FireWire Power Management
The MAX5943 serves to regulate and protect FireWire power over a system interface. The MAX5943 programmable features make it suitable for both power provider and power receiver applications. Figure 13 shows a high-end two-port FireWire power management system using two MAX5943As and a dual-channel MAX5944 FireWire current-limiting IC.

Transient Protection
If IN or OUT experiences a fast voltage transient, the drain-to-gate parasitic capacitance of Q1 and/or Q2 may be sufficient to briefly enhance one of the transistors, allowing current glitch. If the circuit is subjected to large transients, connect capacitors from the gate to source across the appropriate MOSFET, preventing the parasitic capacitance from turning on the device. Caution: The additional gate-to-source capacitance causes the turn-off time of the MOSFETs to increase due to the additional charge of the capacitor. Use the minimum capacitor value to prevent currents from flowing in hot-plug situations.
