Description
The HV111 is a complete power management solution for
switched or pluggable backplane applications up to 1.65A,
running from –8.0 to -80V, requiring no external components
or programming in many applications.
The HV111 is not
limited to only negative input voltages. It can also be
used in +8.0 to +80V systems.
An internally programmed supervisor UVLO/ ENABLE may
be overridden with external resistors for custom settings.
Satisfying this supervisor will begin a POR phase to ensure
de-bouncing. Thereafter, a servo loop controls an internal
80V, 2A pass element to limit current. The circuit uses
internal mirrors to measure current, eliminating the need for
a sense resistor.
The HV111 includes two current modes: i) initial current limit
mode limits the current to 1.2A during turn on; ii) thereafter a
2A monitor circuit will re-trigger the servo mechanism back
to 1.2A limit if it is tripped. An on-board thermal supervisor
ensures that the device can never be damaged by over
current conditions.
Circuit breaker functionality is obtained through a either a
current limit timeout or a PWM current limiter for severe
faults. If the servo limits for more than 75ms then the part
will shut down the pass element, and initiate a 9sec timer
after which the turn on sequence will restart.
The HV111 is available in a thermally rugged DPAK-5
package which provides improved thermal resistance when
compared to SO-8 based solutions.

Internal Blocks of HV111
Many systems include front end capacitance to provide low
impedance energy and filtering to power systems. These
systems include hot pluggable live-backplane systems, such
as –48V telecom systems and switched systems such as
battery connected backed-up loads.
This filter capacitance, usually implemented as large
electrolytic capacitors, looks like a low impedance
connected directly across the power supply terminals and
causes high inrush currents which could damage
connectors, traces or components (such as the capacitors
themselves). These high currents may also cause localized
glitching of the backplane or EMI that could reset or interrupt
surrounding circuit cards.
The HV111 is a single chip solution that provides bullet-
proof power management control for systems with loads
less than 1.65A. See Thermal Shutdown section for power
dissipation limitation. The HV111 does not require the use of
any external components or programming and eliminates
the need for a sense resistor. Where desired, however,
internal set points may be overridden with external
components – for example an external resistor divider may
be used to set the UVLO/ENABLE threshold.

UVLO & POR + Dead Short Protection
The second subsystem is the UVLO/POR that work together
to debounce. Leave the UVLO input open to use the default
setting of –26V with 2.5V hysteresis. This default setting can
be over driven with an external resistive divider. The
comparator threshold is 1.2V with respect to V
NN
. The HV111
is capable of operation down to 8.0V for automotive
applications to 80V for the most rugged telecom
applications.
The third subsystem, PWM Iimit, is protection for turning on
into a short (or a later dead short). In this case the HV111
helps avoid the dumping of large currents into the load by
pulse width modulating (PWM) the current to limit Inrush
current to <250mA average if V

Programming UVLO
The UVLO/ENABLE pin makes it easy to override the
internal 26V nominal under voltage. The 26V nominal setting
is produced by a resistor divider of 2.4MΩ and 116k. These
are 20% resistors, however, 1% accurate relative to one
another. To override there are two options. The first is to
simply use a much lower impedance divider, for example
200k, and largely ignore the internal divider. Alternatively,
the internal impedance may be taken into a account in the
network and the UVLO calculated as:
V
PP
*(R2||116k) / (R1||2.4MΩ+R2||116k)
Keep in mind, however, that the 30% variation on the
internal resistors will reduce the accuracy of the UVLO set
point using this approach.
Note that the UVLO/ENABLE pin may also be used as an
enable with a nominal 1.20V trip point and 10% of
hysteresis.

PWRGD Active High
The above circuit works as follows for ACTIVE HIGH
operation. If the PWRGD is low, then the current sourced by
the pullup is pulled to V
NN
and the BJT, Q1, is starved for
base drive current and remains off. The reverse Vbe voltage
is protected by the series diode, D1. If PWRGD is open,
then the current has no alternative but to flow into the base
and thus connects the DC/DC ENABLE pin to the DC/DC
ground reference (DRAIN pin of the HV111). As the clamp is
inverting, therefore proper ACTIVE high polarity is
established.
The resistor, R1, should be sized as V
PP
/1mA to ensure that
the maximum PWRGD transistor current is not exceeded
(remember to use the maximum possible V
PP
your circuit will
see rather than the nominal value of V
PP
).
Further, Q1 must be rated for operation to maximum
expected V
PP
and have a beta large enough that the
minimum V

PWRGD Active High or Active Low
(for DC/DC HV Interface / Enable)
The PWRGD pin is an open drain active low MOSFET which
is enabled when the gate voltage on the internal power
MOSFET reaches its full on voltage. The PWRGD output is
nominally ACTIVE LOW, however, the simple circuit shown
(Figure 4) can convert it to active high operation.

ensures that glitches will be eliminated.

HV111
Thermal Shutdown
In addition to the above parameters, the HV111 will
shutdown if the temperature on the die reaches ~135°C and
it will not restart until the temperature drops to 100°C or less
(could be significantly less). The thermal sensor is key in
providing a bullet proof power management solution
because it ensures that the device will turn off long before
damage can occur. This is a significant advantage over
solutions that do not contain an integral MOSFET as then
the temperature cannot be easily sensed quickly and
accurately.
Thermal engineering using the HV111 is key to proper
system operation. The 1Ω MOSFET pass element may
reach a value as high as 1.5Ω at high temperatures. There
are numerous methods to reduce the thermal resistance of
the R
θ
JA

Auto-Retry
Any fault condition will cause an automatic 9sec retry to
occur. This retry will occur indefinitely (as long as the
thermal supervisor is satisfied). Figure 6 shows typical
waveforms for the auto-retry.

Timers
The timer subsystems are critical to successful operation of
the HV111. Timers are as follows:
To determine your required thermal impedance, R
θ
JA
, is quite
simple. In a parallel to Ohms law, Power x R
θ
JA
=
∆T.
Junction temperature, which is limited to 120
°
C minimum, is
Tmaxambient +
∆T.
For example, if the highest operating
ambient temperature were 55
°
C as with many networking
applications, and the current were 1.6A, then the required
thermal resistance would be calculated as follows:
Determine maximum ambient = 55
°
C.
Determine max junction temp. = 120
°
C .
Determine max operating current = 1.6A.
Therefore
∆T
= 120-55

C = 65

Current Sensing – No R
SENSE
Required
The HV111 uses an internal 6000:1 current mirror to
eliminate the need for a sense resistor. This saves energy
and eliminates the need for a power component. The current
mirror used by Supertex is unique in that it utilizes special
circuitry to normalize for the variations in V
DS
between the
primary pass element and the internal element which would
otherwise cause current mismatch – and forces competitors
to use internal sense resistors in similar applications. This
mechanism also provides the shorted circuit PWM
functionality which can help protect systems in the case of
