Authors: Eric Josefson and Sean Barr
Overview
Hot Plug controllers have two primary responsibilities,
control inrush currents during turn-on and control load
currents to a safe pre-determined level in the event of a high
current fault/short during static operation.

ISL6116 (+5V)
Figures 1 and 2 show the ISL6116 in an ISL6115 high side
switch application eval board. Jumper JP1 is removed from
the original configuration so a +5V Power Source can be
applied to B2. +12V is needed to bias the IC and is applied
at B1. The overcurrent set point is 1.5A.
In Figure 3, notice the soft-start ramp up of GATE after
PWRON is initiated, thus allowing the gradual ramp up of
I
LOAD
. In Figure 4, starting up into a short is shown. Upon
PWRON being asserted, CTIM is immediately begins
charging. The nominal time-out period is CTIM x 93kΩ . An
overcurrent (OC) event occurs when the current through the
sense resistor exceeds the user programmed OC threshold
(see data sheet). The controller enters current regulation
(CR) and capacitor CTIM begins charging. The nominal
time-out period is CTIM x 93kΩ. (see Figure 5A). A transient
event from 500mA to 1A occurs. PGOOD is pulled low due
to a temporary undervoltage condition occurring on +5V
OUT
,
but CTIM stays low as a true OC event never occurs (See
Figure 5B).

ISL6116 (-12V)
Figures 6 and 7 show the ISL6116 reconfigured for -12V low
side switch application. The following components were
removed: RG1, R6 & R11. C2 was added (0.047µf 0805
size). In Figure 8, notice that GATE is 0V to fully enhance the
FET because of -12V operation. Also note that PGOOD is
disabled due to low side configuration. Upon power up,
current regulation mode is entered and CTIM is immediately
begins charging. The nominal time-out period is CTIM x
93kΩ, and again PGOOD is disabled (see Figure 9). An OC
event occurs when the current through the sense resistor
exceeds the user programmed OC threshold (see data
sheet). The controller enters CR mode and capacitor CTIM
begins charging. The nominal time-out period is CTIM x
93kΩ (see Figure 10).

ISL6116 (-48V)
Figure 11 and 12 show the ISL6116 in -48V Low Side Switch
Application. The eval board uses a HIP5600 to bias the
ISL6116 12V higher than the -48V. Note C2 was intentionally
left empty. Tests were done at -36V to keep the power
dissipated to the load low. Results would be essentially the
same at -48V.
In Figure 13, notice soft-start ramp up of GATE upon LOGIN
is being driven low. Keep in mind that PGOOD is disabled in
low side applications. Upon an OC at turn on, GATE begins
to soft-start, then attempts to regulate, then is shut down
(see Figure 14). Note CTIM’s behavior due to the eval board
setup (C2 DNP).
In Figure 15, the load is switched from an open to 2Ω. The
controller immediately pulls GATE down, CTIM up, and the
load is isolated. When LOGIN is forced high, the controller
shuts down (see Figure 16).
