General Description
The Supertex HV300, an 8-pin negative supply Hot Swap Controller
for live backplane systems, is designed to facilitate the safe insertion
or removal of circuit cards.
After an initial delay, the inrush current is limited by means of
controlling the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET that will ramp
up the current to a maximum value programmed by an external
resistor. The current ramp rate and initial time delay are
programmable by means of an external capacitor connected to the
RAMP pin. When the load capacitor reaches full charge and the
controller emerges from current limit mode an additional time delay
occurs. Thereafter the external N-channel MOSFET is switched to
full on, the open drain PWRGD output pull down is released and the
controller transitions to a low power standby mode.
Other features include programmable over voltage and under voltage
detection of the input voltage and an internal voltage regulator to
create a well-regulated gate drive voltage. The unique control loop
scheme provides full current control and limiting during start up.

Pin Description
PWRGD –
The Power Good Output Pin is held Low on initial power
application and will release its high voltage (V
EE
+ 90V) open drain
when the external MOSFET is fully turned on. This pin may be
used as an enable control when connected directly to a PWM
power module.
OV –
This Over Voltage sense pin, when raised above its high
threshold will immediately cause the GATE pin to be pulled low.
The GATE pin will remain low until the voltage on this pin falls
below the low threshold limit and a new start-up cycle will engage.
UV
– This Under Voltage sense pin, when below its low threshold
limit will ensure that the GATE pin is low. The GATE pin will remain
low until the voltage on this pin rises above the high threshold and a
new start-up cycle wil engage.
V
EE
– This pin is the negative voltage power supply input to the
circuit.
V
DD
–
This pin is the positive voltage power supply input to the
circuit.
RAMP –
This pin provides a current output so that a timing ramp
voltage is generated when a capacitor is connected. The initial
portion of the ramp provides a time delay, which in conjunction with
the Under Voltage detection circuit eliminates circuit card insertion
contact bounce. The RAMP pin also controls the delay between the
current limit mode disengaging and the PWRGD high voltage open
drain pull down releasing; as well as the current rise profile after the
initial turn on delay.
GATE –
This is the Gate Driver Output for the external N-Channel
MOSFET.
SENSE –
The current sense resistor connected from this pin to
V

Pin programs the current limit. Constant current output mode is
established when the voltage drop across this resistor reaches
50mV.

Functional Description
Insertion into Hot Backplanes
Telecom, Data Network and some Computer applications require the
ability to insert and remove circuit cards from systems without
powering down the entire system. All circuit cards have some filter
capacitance on the power rails, which is especially true in circuit cards
or network terminal equipment utilizing distributed power systems.
The insertion can result in high inrush currents that can cause
damage to connector and circuit cards and may result in
unacceptable disturbances on the system backplane power rails.
The HV300 was designed to allow the insertion of these circuit cards
or connection of terminal equipment by eliminating these inrush
currents and powering up these circuits in a controlled manner after
full connector insertion has been achieved. The HV300 is intended
Description of operation
On initial power application an internal regulator seeks to provide 10
Volts for the internal IC circuitry. Until the proper internal voltage is
achieved all circuits are held reset, the open drain PWRGD output is
pulled low to inhibit the start of any load circuitry and the gate to
source voltage of the external N-channel MOSFET is held low. Once
the internal under voltage lock out (UVLO) has been satisfied, the
circuit checks the input supply voltage under voltage (UV) and over
voltage (OV) sense circuits to ensure that the input voltage is within
acceptable programmed limits. These limits are determined by the
selected values of resistors R1, R2 and R3, which form a voltage
divider.
Assuming the above conditions are satisfied and while continuing to
hold the PWRGD output low and the external MOSFET GATE
voltage low, the current source feeding the RAMP pin is turned on.
The external capacitor connected to it begins to charge, thus starting
an initial time delay determined by the value of the capacitor. If an
interruption of the input power occurs during this time (i.e. caused by
contact bounce) or the OV or UV limits are exceeded, an immediate
reset occurs and the external capacitor connected to the RAMP pin
is discharged.
When the voltage on the RAMP pin reaches an internally set voltage
limit, the gate drive circuitry begins to turn on the external MOSFET;
allowing the current to softly rise over a period of a few hundred
micro-seconds to the current limit set point. While the circuit is
limiting current, the voltage on the RAMP pin will be fixed.
Depending on the value of the load capacitance and the
programmed current limit, charging may continue for some time.
The magnitude of the current limit is programmed by comparing a
voltage developed by a sense resistor connected between the V
EE
and SENSE pins to 50mV (Typical). Once the load capacitor has
been charged, the current will drop which will cause the ramp voltage
to continue rising; providing yet another programmed delay.
When the ramp voltage is within 1.2V of the internally regulated
voltage, the controller will force the GATE full on and will release the
pull down on the PWRGD pin and the circuit will transition to a low
power standby mode. The PWRGD pin is often used as an enable
for downstream DC/DC converter loads.
At any time during the start up cycle or thereafter, crossing the UV
and OV limits (including hysteresis) will cause an immediate reset of
all internal circuitry. Thereafter the start up process will begin again.

Application Information
Under Voltage and Over Voltage Detection
The UV and OV pins are connected to comparators with nominal
1.21V thresholds and 100mV of hysteresis (1.21V
±
50mV). They
are used to detect under voltage and over voltage conditions at the
input to the circuit. Whenever the OV pin rises above its threshold
or the UV pin falls below its threshold the GATE voltage is
immediately pulled low, the PWRGD pin is pulled low and the
external capacitor connected to the RAMP pin is discharged.
The under voltage and over voltage trip points can be programmed
by means of the three resistor divider formed by R1, R2 and R3.
Since the input currents on the UV and OV pins are negligible the
resistor values may be calculated as follows:
UV = V
UVH
= 1.26 =
V
EEUV
* (R2+R3) / (R1+R2+R3)
OV = V
OVL
= 1.16 =
V
EEOV
* R3 / (R1+R2+R3)
Where
V
EEUV
and
V
EEOV
are Under & Over Voltage Set points.
If we select a divider current of 100µA at a nominal operating input
voltage of 50 Volts then
(R1+R2+R3) = 50V / 100µA = 500K Ohms
From the second equation for an Over voltage set point of 65 Volts
the value of R3 may be calculated.
OV = 1.16 = 65 * R3 / 500K
R3 = (1.16 * 500K) / 65; Let R3 = 9K
From the first equation for an Under Voltage set point of 35 Volts the
value R2 can be calculated.
UV = 1.26 = 35 * (R2 + R3) / 500K
R2 = (1.26 * 500K) / 35 – 9K
R2 = 9K
Then R1 = 500K – (R2 +R3); R1 = 482K
Current Limit
The current limit magnitude above which the current will not be
allowed to rise during startup is programmed using a sense resistor
connected from the SENSE pin to V
EE
pin. For example to
program a current limit of 1A, one would choose a resistor as
follows:
Rsense = 50mV / Isense
Rsense = 50mV / 1A
Rsense = 50mΩ
