General Description
The Supertex HV311 Hot Swap Controller provides inrush current limiting and
other power supply support functions for hot swap equipment. Current limiting is
provided by control of an external MOSFET which is placed in the return line of
the power supply connection. Placement in the return allows use of an N-channel
MOSFET without the need for high side driving.
An internal clamp at the GATE pin activates when full bias for the HV311 is not
available, thus keeping the MOSFET in the off-state during the initial insertion
phase. As soon as adequate bias is available for the main control circuits, the UV
(undervoltage) and OV (overvoltage) pins check for normal operating voltage on
the power supply input.
Once normal operating voltage is present, the GATE voltage for the external
MOSFET ramps up at a constant rate. The rate is controlled by the value of an
external capacitor placed at the RAMP pin. At some point the external MOSFET
channel is enhanced, allowing power supply current to flow, thereby energizing
downstream power supply capacitors.
During the GATE ramp up the power supply current is monitored with the aid
of an external sense resistor which forces reduction in the ramp rate when the
power supply current reaches a set limit. The limit is set by the value of the
external sense resistor and the threshold of the current sense amplifier (50mV).
Once inrush current subsides, the GATE voltage resumes its rise to the output
voltage of an internal regulator V
REG
, with an output voltage ranging from 8.5
to 12V. When GATE is within 1.2V of V
REG
, GATE is pulled high to V
REG
with an
internal switch, the open-drain PWRGD pin pulls low, and the HV311 enters a
low power mode.
The HV311 includes a start-up timer and a circuit breaker function to protect
the MOSFET from excessive power dissipation. The start-up timer trips when
the start-up phase exceeds 100ms. The circuit breaker trips at double the
current limit threshold (100mV). Upon tripping of either the start-up timer or
the circuit breaker the MOSFET is turned off, and the PWRGD pin becomes
high impedance. Thereafter, a programmable automatic retry timer allows the
MOSFET to cool down before resetting and restarting. The automatic retry can
be disabled by adding an external resistor at the RAMP pin (about 2.5MΩ, see
applications section).

Functional Description
The HV311 provides control over the power supply cur-
rent on systems where circuit cards are inserted into live
backplanes. Such systems can frequently be found in the
telecom, data networking and computing industry. The de-
vice provides means of limiting the power supply current af-
ter contact with the live backplane is made, thereby protect-
ing card and backplane connectors and reducing the voltage
disturbance on the backplane’s power supply. Additional
protection is provided in the form of a circuit breaker function
and a start-up time limiter, both for protection of the external
MOSFET and the system as a whole.
Start-up Sequence
After first contact is made with the backplane, the HV311
tries to establish an internal bias supply of 10V. During this
time, GATE and RAMP are positively held low by circuitry
that can operate with partial supply voltage, and PWRGD is
in a high impedance state.
When the internal bias supply is in regulation, the undervoltage
(UV) and overvoltage (OV) comparators start monitoring the
external power supply. External resistor dividers at UV and
OV pin set the window for normal operating supply voltage.
These may be two individual dividers, or a single divider with
two taps, as shown in the application diagrams.
Once the power supply voltage is within normal operating
range, a 10μA internal source turns on to charge an external
capacitor at the RAMP pin. The voltage at the GATE output
follows the RAMP pin voltage with an offset of about 2.5V for
control of the external MOSFET.
Power supply current starts to flow once the GATE voltage
reaches the MOSFET threshold voltage, which is typically
in the 2.0 to 4.0V range. The current sense amplifier at the
SENSE pin reduces the RAMP charging current in propor-
tion to the supply current, thereby slowing the voltage rise
at RAMP, and thus the rise of the GATE voltage. At a sense
voltage of 50mV the RAMP current is reduced to zero, and
the RAMP and GATE voltages stop rising, thereby prevent-
ing a further rise in the power supply current.

HV311
Functional Description
(cont.)
Once external power supply capacitors are charged, the
power supply current subsides, and the RAMP current in-
creases again to its maximum value of 10μA. The RAMP
and GATE voltages resume their rise. When the RAMP volt-
age is within 1.2V of the internal supply, then GATE is con-
nected to the internal supply, and the open-drain PWRGD
pin is pulled low, marking the end of the start-up.
If the start-up sequence is not finished within 100ms, then
the internal start-up timer causes a reset of the RAMP and
GATE voltage to 0V, and the automatic retry timer is started
to allow the MOSFET to cool off. After the retry delay a new
startup sequence is initiated if the power supply voltage is
within the normal operating range, as determined by the UV
and OV comparators.
The circuit breaker monitors the sense amplifier for the pres-
ence of an overcurrent condition at all times. The overcur-
rent threshold is set at twice the maximum inrush current
threshold. Should overcurrent occur, then RAMP and GATE
are brought to zero, PWRGD returs to high impedance, and
the automatic retry timer is started.
The automatic retry timer can be disabled by attachment of
an additional resistor at the RAMP pin if a latched shutdown
is desired.
A further reduction in the ramp rate of the RAMP and GATE
voltages can be attained by connection of a feedback ca-
pacitor from the drain node to the RAMP pin. During startup
the drain voltage drops at a rate proportional to the inrush
current. This falling voltage waveform can be used to fur-
ther reduce the current that flows onto the RAMP capacitor,
thereby reducing the maximum inrush current.
Design Information
Setting up the UV and OV comparators
The following example shows how the resistors for the
threshold setting divider can be determined. The procedure
applies to the (R1, R2, R3) divider having two taps as shown
on the typical applications diagram.
The following procedure bases the selection of the divider
resistors on specification of the shutdown / disable voltages.
A similar procedure can be devised that bases selection on
specification of the enable voltages.
Let’s assume the following:
• nominal divider current draw I
NOM
= 100μA,
• nominal power supply voltage V
NOM
= 50V,
• overvoltage shutdown voltage V
OVS
= 65V,
• undervoltage shutdown voltage V
UVS
= 35V,
• negligible (UV, OV) comparator input currents,
• Comparator rising threshold V
RTH
= 1.26V
• Comparator falling threshold V
FTH
= 1.16V
The following applies:

Programming Maximum Inrush Current and Circuit
Breaker Current
The values of the current limit threshold voltage V
CL
and the
external current sense resistor R
CS
determine the maximum
power supply current during startup I
MAX
(the maximum in-
rush current). Similarly the circuit breaker trip current I
CB
is
determined by the values of the circuit breaker threshold
voltage V
CB
and the value of R
CS
.
