LTC4213 No RSENSETM Electronic Circuit Breaker FEATURES DESCRIPTIO Fast 1s Response Circuit Breaker 3 Selectable Circuit Breaker Thresholds No Sense Resistor Required Dual Level Overcurrent Fault Protection Controls Load Voltages from 0V to 6V High Side Drive for External N-Channel FET Undervoltage Lockout READY Pin Signals When Circuit Breaker Armed Small Plastic (3mm x 2mm) DFN Package The LTC(R)4213 is an Electronic Circuit Breaker. An overcurrent circuit breaker senses the voltage across the drain and source terminals of an external N-channel MOSFET with no need for a sense resistor. The advantages are a lower cost and reduced voltage and power loss in the switch path. An internal high-side driver controls the external MOSFET gate. Two integrated comparators provide dual level overcurrent protection over the bias supply to ground common mode range. The slow comparator has 16s response while the fast comparator trips in 1s. The circuit breaker has three selectable trip thresholds: 25mV, 50mV and 100mV. An ON pin controls the ON/OFF and resets circuit breaker faults. READY signals the MOSFET is conducting and the circuit breaker is armed. The LTC4213 operates from VCC = 2.3V to 6V. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Open drain output that goes high impedance when the external MOSFET is on and the circuit breaker is armed. Otherwise this pin pulls low. ON (Pin 2): ON Control Input. The LTC4213 is in reset mode when the ON pin is below 0.4V. When the ON pin increases above 0.8V, the device starts up and the GATE pulls up with a 100A current source. When the ON pin drops below 0.76V, the GATE pulls down. To reset a circuit breaker fault, the ON pin must go below 0.4V. ISEL (Pin 3): Threshold Select Input. With the ISEL pin grounded, float or tied to VCC the VCB is set to 25mV, 50mV or 100mV, respectively. The corresponding VCB(FAST) values are 100mV, 175mV and 325mV. GND (Pin 4): Device Ground. GATE (Pin 5): GATE Drive Output. An internal charge pump supplies 100A pull-up current to the gate of the external N-channel MOSFET. Internal circuitry limits the voltage between the GATE and SENSEN pins to a safe gate drive voltage of less than 8V. When the circuit breaker trips, the GATE pin abruptly pulls to GND. SENSEN (Pin 6): Circuit Breaker Negative Sense Input. Connect this pin to the source of the external MOSFET. During reset or fault mode, the SENSEN pin discharges the output to ground with 280A. SENSEP (Pin 7): Circuit Breaker Positive Sense Input. Connect this pin to the drain of external N-channel MOSFET. The circuit breaker trips when the voltage across SENSEP and SENSEN exceeds VCB. The input common mode range of the circuit breaker is from ground to VCC + 0.2V when VCC < 2.5V. For VCC 2.5V, the input common mode range is from ground to VCC + 0.4V. VCC (Pin 8): Bias Supply Voltage Input. Normal operation is between 2.3V and 6V. An internal under-voltage lockout circuit disables the device when VCC < 2.07V. Exposed Pad (Pin 9): Exposed pad may be left open or connected to device ground.

This no RSENSE method is less precise than RSENSE method due to the variation of RDSON. However, the advantages are less complex, lower cost and reduce voltage and power loss in the switch path owing to the absence of a sense resistor. Without the external sense resistor voltage drop, the VOUT improvement can be quite significant especially in the low voltage applications. The LTC4213 is designed to operate over a bias supply range from 2.3V to 6V. When bias supply voltage and the ON pin are sufficiently high, the GATE pin starts charging after an internal debounce delay of 60s. During the GATE ramp-up, the circuit breaker is not armed until the external MOSFET is fully turned on. Once the circuit breaker is armed, the LTC4213 monitors the load current through the RDSON of the external MOSFET. Circuit Breaker Function The LTC4213 provides dual level and dual response time circuit breaker functions for overcurrent protection. The LTC4213 circuit breaker function block consists of two comparators, SLOWCOMP and FASTCOMP. The APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Figure 1 shows an electronic circuit breaker (ECB) application. An external auxiliary supply biases the VCC pin and the internal circuitry. A VIN load supply powers the load via an external MOSFET. The SENSEP and SENSEN pins VIN 1.25V CIN 100F Q1 SI4864DY VOUT 1.25V 3.5A + CLOAD 100F VBIAS 2.5V VCC SENSEP GATE SENSEN C1 0.1F ON LTC4213 GND ISEL READY R4 10k OFF ON Figure 1. LTC4213 Electronic Circuit Breaker Application 4213f 10 U W U U U thresholds of SLOWCOMP and FASTCOMP are VCB and VCB(FAST). The ISEL pin selects one of the three settings: 1. VCB = 25mV and VCB(FAST) = 100mV with ISEL at GND 2. VCB = 50mV and VCB(FAST) = 175mV with ISEL floating 3. VCB = 100mV and VCB(FAST) = 325mV with ISEL at VCC ISEL can be stepped dynamically, such as to allow a higher circuit breaker threshold at startup and a lower threshold after supply current has settled. The inputs of the comparators are SENSEP and SENSEN pins. The voltage across the drain and source of the external MOSFET is sensed at SENSEP and SENSEN. VSENSE = VSENSEP - VSENSEN (1) When VSENSE exceeds the VCB threshold but is less than VCB(FAST), the comparator SLOWCOMP trips the circuit breaker after a 16s delay. If VSENSE is greater than VCB(FAST), the comparator FASTCOMP trips the circuit breaker in 1s. A severe short circuit condition can cause the load supply to dip substantially. This does not pose a problem for the LTC4213 as the input stages of the current limit comparators are common mode to ground. sense the load current at the drain and source of the external MOSFET. In ECB applications, large input bypass capacitors are usually recommended for good transient performance. Undervoltage Lockout An internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit resets the LTC4213 if the VCC supply is too low for normal operation. The UVLO comparator (UVCOMP) has a low-to-high threshold of 2.07V and 100mV of hysteresis. UVLO shares the glitch filters for both low-to-high transition (startup) and high-to-low transition (reset) with the ON pin comparators. Above 2.07V bias supply voltage, the LTC4213 starts if the ON pin conditions are met. Short, shallow bus bias + VCC 4213 F01 LTC4213 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO supply transient dips below 1.97V of less than 80s are ignored. ON Function When VON is below comparator COMP1's threshold of 0.4V for 80s, the device resets. The system leaves reset mode if the ON pin rises above comparator COMP2's threshold of 0.8V and the UVLO condition is met. Leaving reset mode, the GATE pin starts up after a tDEBOUNCE delay of 60s. When ON goes below 0.76V, the GATE shuts off after a 5s glitch filter delay. The output is discharged by the external load when VON is in between 0.4V to 0.8V. At this state, the ON pin can re-enable the GATE if VON exceeds 0.8V for more than 8s. Alternatively, the device resets if the ON pin is brought below 0.4V for 80s. Once reset, the GATE pin restarts only after the tDEBOUNCE 60s delay at VON rising above 0.8V. To protect the ON pin from overvoltage stress due to supply transients, a series resistor of greater than 10k is recommended when the ON pin is connected directly to the supply. An external resistive divider at the ON pin can be used with COMP2 to set a supply undervoltage lockout value higher than the internal UVLO circuit. An RC filter can be implemented at the ON pin to increase the powerup delay time beyond the internal 60s delay. Gate Function The GATE pin is held low in reset mode. 60s after leaving reset mode, the GATE pin is charged up by an internal 100A current source. The circuit breaker arms when VGATE > VSENSEN + VGSARM. In normal mode operation, the GATE peak voltage is internally clamped to VGSMAX above the SENSEN pin. When the circuit breaker trips, an internal MOSFET shorts the GATE pin to GND, turning off the external MOSFET. READY Status The READY pin is held low during reset and at startup. It is pulled high by an external pullup resistor 50s after the circuit breaker arms. The READY pin pulls low if the circuit breaker trips or the ON pin is pulled below 0.76V, or VCC drops below undervoltage lockout. U VGSARM and VGSMAX Each MOSFET has a recommended VGS drive voltage where the channel is deemed fully enhanced and RDSON is minimized. Driving beyond this recommended VGS voltage yields a marginal decrease in RDSON. At startup, the gate voltage starts at ground potential. The GATE ramps past the MOSFET threshold and the load current begins to flow. When VGS exceeds VGSARM, the circuit breaker is armed and enabled. The chosen MOSFET should have a recommended minimum VGS drive level that is lower than VGSARM. Finally, VGS reaches a maximum at VGSMAX. Trip and Reset Circuit Breaker Figure 2 shows the timing diagram of VGATE and VREADY after a fault condition. A tripped circuit breaker can be reset either by cycling the VCC bias supply below UVLO threshold or pulling ON below 0.4V for >tRESET. Figure 3 shows the timing diagram for a tripped circuit breaker being reset by the ON pin. Calculating Current Limit The fault current limit is determined by the RDSON of the MOSFET and the circuit breaker voltage VCB. W U U ILIMIT = VCB RDSON (2) The RDSON value depends on the manufacturer's distribution, VGS and junction temperature. Short Kelvin-sense connections between the MOSFET drain and source to the LTC4213 SENSEP and SENSEN pins are strongly recommended. For a selected MOSFET, the nominal load limit current is given by: ILIMIT (NOM) = VCB(NOM) RDSON(NOM) (3) The minimum load limit current is given by: ILIMIT (MIN) = VCB(MIN) RDSON(MAX) (4) 4213f 11 LTC4213 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The maximum load limit current is given by: ILIMIT (MAX) = VCB(MAX) RDSON(MIN) Most MOSFET data sheets have an RDSON specification with typical and maximum values but no minimum value. Assuming a normal distribution with typical as mean, the minimum value can be estimated as RDSON(MIN) = 2 * RDSON(NOM) - RDSON(MAX) (6) The LTC4213 gives higher gate drive than the manufacturer specified gate drive for RDSON. This gives a slightly lower RDSON than specified. Operating temperature also modulates the RDSON value. SHORT CIRCUIT A >VCB B VSENSE VGATE VREADY Figure 2.

RDSON @ 25C = 100% RDSON @ 0C = 90% RDSON @ 70C = 120% MOSFET resistance variation: RDSON(NOM) = 15m * 0.82 = 12.3m RDSON(MAX) = 15m * 1.333 * 0.93 * 1.2 = 15m * 1.488 = 22.3m RDSON(MIN) = 15m * 0.667 * 0.80 * 0.90 = 15m * 0.480 = 7.2m VCB variation: NOM VCB = 25mV = 100% MIN VCB = 22.5mV = 90% MAX VCB = 27.5mV = 110% The current limits are: ILIMIT(NOM) = 25mV/12.3m = 2.03A ILIMIT(MIN) = 22.5mV/22.3m = 1.01A ILIMIT(MAX) = 27.5mV/7.2m = 3.82A For proper operation, the minimum current limit must exceed the circuit maximum operating load current with margin. So this system is suitable for operating load current up to 1A. From this calculation, we can start with the general rule for MOSFET RDSON by assuming maximum operating load current is roughly half of the ILIMIT(NOM). Equation 7 shows the rule of thumb. IOPMAX = VCB(NOM) 2 * RDSON(NOM) (7) Note that the RDSON(NOM) is at the LTC4213 nominal operating VGSMAX rather than at typical vendor spec. Table 1 gives the nominal operating VGSMAX at the various operating VCC. From this table users can refer to the MOSFET's data sheet to obtain the RDSON(NOM) value. 14 U Table 1.

VCC is first powered up by an auxiliary bias supply. VCC rises above 2.07V at time point 1. VON exceeds 0.8V at time point 2. After a 60s debounce delay, the GATE pin starts ramping up at time point 3. The external MOSFET starts conducting at time point 4. At time point 5, VGATE exceed VGSARM and the circuit breaker is armed. After 50s (tREADY delay), READY pulls high by an external resistor at time point 6. READY signals the VIN load supply module to start its ramp. The load supply begins soft-start ramp at time point 7. The load supply ramp rate must be slow to prevent circuit breaker tripping as in equation (8). VIN IOPMAX - ILOAD < t C LOAD (8) Where IOPMAX is the maximum operating current defined by equation 7. For illustration, VCB = 25mV and RDSON = 3.5m at the nominal operating VGSMAX. The maximum operating current is 3.5A (refer to equation 7). Assuming the load can draw a current of 2A at power-up, there is a margin of 1.5A available for CLOAD of 100F and VIN ramp rate should be <15V/ms. At time point 8, the current through the MOSFET reduces after CLOAD is fully charged. 4213f LTC4213 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO 12 3 2.07V 0.8V VCC, VON VGSMAX + VSENSEN VGATE Vth VSENSEP, VSENSEN VREADY VSENSE RESET MODE tDEBOUNCE Figure 4.

Figure 5 shows the timing diagram with the VIN load supply active initially. An internal circuit ensures that the GATE pin is held low. At time point 1, VCC clears UVLO and at time point 2, ON clears 0.8V. 60s later at time point 3, the GATE is ramped up with 100A. At time point 4, GATE reaches the external MOSFET threshold VTH and VOUT starts to ramp up. At time point 5, VSENSEN is near its peak. At time point 6, the circuit breaker is armed and the circuit breaker can trip if VSENSE > VCB. 0 1 2 VCC > 2.07V VON > 0.8V VCC, VON VGSMAX + VSENSEN VGSARM + VSENSEN VGATE VSENSEP VSENSEN VREADY tREADY RESET MODE tDEBOUNCE STARTUP CYCLE NORMAL CYCLE 4213 F05 Figure 5.

Startup Problems There is no current limit monitoring during output charging for the figure 5 power-up sequence where the load supply is powered up before VCC. This is because the GATE voltage is below VGSARM and the MOSFET may not reach the specified RDSON. The VIN load supply should have sufficient capability to handle the inrush as the output charges up. For proper startup, the final load at time CIRCUIT BREAKER ARMS VSENSEP - VSENSEN = VCB VGATE MAXES OUT READY SIGNALS 3 4 5 6 7 8 Vth 4213f W U U LTC4213 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO point 6 should be within the circuit breaker limits. Otherwise, the system fails to start and the circuit breaker trips immediately after arming. In most applications additional external gate capacitance is not required unless CLOAD is large and startup becomes problematic. If an external gate capacitor is employed, its capacitance value should not be excessive unless it is used with a series resistor. This is because a big gate capacitor without resistor slows down the GATE turn off during a fault. An alternative method would be a stepped ISEL pin to allow a higher current limit during startup. In the event of output short circuit or a severe overload, the load supply can collapse during GATE ramp up due to load supply current limit. The chosen MOSFET must withstand this possible brief short circuit condition before time point 6 where the circuit breaker is allowed to trip. Bench short circuit evaluation is a practical verification of a reliable design. To have current limit while powering a MOSFET into short circuit conditions, it is preferred that the load supply sequences to turn on after the circuit breaker is armed as described in an earlier section. Power-Off Cycle The system can be powered off by toggling the ON pin low. When ON is brought below 0.76V for 5s, the GATE and READY pins are pulled low. The system resets when ON is brought below 0.4V for 80s. MOSFET Selection The LTC4213 is designed to be used with logic (5V) and sub-logic (3V) MOSFETs for VCC potentials above 2.97V with VGSMAX exceeding 4.5V. For a VCC supply range between 2.3V and 2.97V, sub-logic MOSFETs should be used as the minimum VGSMAX is less than 4.5V. U The selected MOSFET VGS absolute maximum rating should meet the LTC4213 maximum VGSMAX of 8V. Other MOSFET criteria such as VBDSS, IDMAX, and RDSON should be reviewed. Spikes and ringing above maximum operating voltage should be considered when choosing VBDSS. IDMAX should be greater than the current limit. The maximum operating load current is determined by the RDSON value. See the section on "Calculating Current Limit" for details. Supply Requirements The LTC4213 can be powered from a single supply or dual supply system. The load supply is connected to the SENSEP pin and the drain of the external MOSFET. In the single supply case, the VCC pin is connected to the load supply, preferably with an RC filter. With dual supplies, VCC is connected to an auxiliary bias supply VAUX where VAUX voltage should be greater or equal to the load supply voltage. The load supply voltage must be capable of sourcing more current than the circuit breaker limit. If the load supply current limit is below the circuit breaker trip current, the LTC4213 may not react when the output overloads. Furthermore, output overloads may trigger UVLO if the load supply has foldback current limit in a single supply system. VIN Transient and Overvoltage Protection Input transient spikes are commonly observed whenever the LTC4213 responds to overload. These spikes can be large in amplitude, especially given that large decoupling capacitors are absent in hot swap environments. These short spikes can be clipped with a transient suppressor of adequate voltage and power rating. In addition, the LTC4213 can detect a prolonged overvoltage condition. When 4213f W U U 17 LTC4213 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO SENSEP exceeds VCC + 0.7V for more than 65s, the LTC4213's internal overvoltage protection circuit activates and the GATE pin pulls down and turns off the external MOSFET. Typical Electronic Fuse Application for a Single Supply System Figure 6 shows a single supply electronic fuse application. An RC filter at VCC pin filters out transient spikes. An optional Schottky diode can be added if severe VCC dips during a fault start-up condition is a concern. The use of the Schottky and RC filter combination is allowed if the load supply is above 2.9V and the total voltage drop towards the VCC pin is less than 0.4V. The LTC4213's internal UVLO filter further rejects bias supply's transients of less than tRESET. During power-up, it is good engineering practice to ensure that VCC is fully established before the ON pin enables the system at VON = 0.8V. In this application, the VCC voltage reached final value approximately after a 5.3 * R1 C1 delay. This is followed by the ON pin exceeding 0.8V after a 0.17 * R2C2 delay. The GATE pin starts up after an internal tDEBOUNCE delay. VIN 5V CIN 100F + R1 33 R3 324k C1 10F Q2 2N7002 RESET R2 80.6k Figure 6. Single Supply Electronic Fuse 18 U Typical Single Supply Hot SwapTM Application A typical single supply Hot Swap application is shown in Figure 7. The RESET signal at the backplane is held low initially. When the PCB long edge makes contact the ON pin is held low (<0.4V) and the LTC4213 is kept in reset mode. When the short edge makes contact the VIN load supply is connected to the card. The VCC is biased via the RC filter. The VOUT is pre-charged via R5. To power-up successfully, the R5 resistor value should be small enough to provide the load requirement and to overcome the 280A current source sinking into the SENSEN pin. On the other hand, the R5 resistor value should be big enough avoiding big inrush current and preventing big short circuit current. When RESET signals high at backplane, C2 capacitor at the ON pin charges up via the R3/R2 resistive divider. When ON pin voltage exceeds 0.8V, the GATE pin begins to ramp up. When the GATE voltage peaks, the external MOSFET is fully turned on and the VIN-to-VOUT voltage drop reduces. In normal mode operation, the LTC4213 monitors the load current through the RDSON of the external MOSFET. Hot Swap is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
