MIC2580A
Hot-Swap PCI Power Controller
General Description
The MIC2580A is a hot-swap controller that provides for safe
and orderly insertion and removal of PCI based adapter cards
from a PCI hot-plug compliant system backplane or
CompactPCITM system.
The MIC2580A incorporates a circuit breaker function that
protects all four supplies (+12V, +5V, +3.3V, and 12V) upon
an overcurrent fault condition. Current foldback limiting pre-
vents large transient currents caused by plugging adapter
cards into live backplanes, such as in a CompactPCI system.
A programmable slew-rate control limits high inrush currents
to all loads that occur when power is applied to large capaci-
tive loads.
Voltage supervisory functions for all four power supplies are
provided by "power good" (/PWRGD) and "overcurrent fault"
(/FAULT) diagnostic outputs. Power good and overcurrent
fault include deglitch filters to prevent nuisance tripping.
Power good is active when all four supplies are within
tolerance. Fault (/FAULT) goes active upon overcurrent or
overtemperature conditions. The on-off control input (/ON) is
used to cycle power to the adapter card.

Functional Description
Start-Up Sequence
The start-up sequence iniates after all four supplies are
connected to the inputs and then /ON is asserted by
transistioning from high to low. During the start-up sequence,
all four gates ramp up at a rate determined by C
SLEW
. During
this time /PWRGD is deasserted until all four supplies are
within specified levels. When /PWRGD is asserted the power-
on-reset signal /POR timer begins. The time period is defined
by C
RST
. Refer to Figure 1 for a timing diagram of the signals
during the start-up sequence.
During the start-up sequence, a current source charges
C
START
at a constant rate until a threshold voltage of 2.4V is
reached. This period of time defines an interval during which
overcurrent events are ignored. This prevents high inrush
currents that normally occur when charging capacitance
erroneously asserting /FAULT. The magnitude of the start-
up time, t
START
is defined by C
START
.
The MIC2580A employs foldback current limiting that en-
sures the device starts up in current limit. This minimizes high
inrush currents due to ramping a voltage into capacitance
regardless of the size of the load capacitance.
Overcurrent Detection
The MIC2580A senses overcurrent via the use of external
sense resistors for the 5V and 3.3V supply rails. When the
sense voltage across these resistors is greater than or equal
to 50mV an overcurrent condition is detected. Therefore the
overcurrent set point is determined by I
LIMIT
= 50mV/R
SENSE
.
For the +12V and 12V supply rails overcurrent detection is
set internally at 1.3A and 0.5A respectively.
When an overcurrent condition is detected /FAULT is as-
serted only if the overcurrent condition lasts for a minimum
time period of 10s. This delay prevents spurious noise from
the system erroneously tripping the circuit breaker and as-
serting /FAULT. Upon /FAULT being asserted an internal
latch is set that immediately turns off all four supplies to
prevent further damage to the system. Toggling /ON will reset
the latch and initiate another start-up sequence. Figures 2
and 3 depict the timing for two fault conditions.
Thermal Shutdown
The +12V and 12V internal MOSFET switches are protected
by current limit and overtemperature shutdown circuitry.
When the die temperature exceeds 160C, /FAULT is as-
serted and all supplies are shut off. The power dissipated in
the MIC2580A is primarily due to the sum of current flowing
through the internal MOSFET switches and, to a lesser
extent, power dissipated due to the supply current. To com-
pute the total power dissipation of the MIC2580A the follow-
ing equation is used:
P
D(total)
= P
D(+12V switch)
+ P
D(12V switch)

Precharge Voltage
For CompactPCI applications, the MIC2580A-1.0BSM/BTS
integrates a 1V 20% voltage source that satisfies
CompactPCI precharge requirements. The voltage source
can provide up to 10mA. For higher current, the MIC2580A-
1.6BSM/BTS integrates a 1.6V 20% voltage source to bias
a NPN transistor.

Turnoff
Deasserting /ON will turn off all four supplies. Alternatively
driving /FAULT low will turn off all supplies but will not latch
the supplies off. Releasing /FAULT will initiate a new start
sequence.

Application Information
Whenever voltage is applied to a highly capacitive load, high
inrush currents may result in voltage droop that may bring the
supply voltage out of regulation for the duration of the
transient. The MIC2580A solves this problem by specifically
controlling the current and voltage supply ramps so that the
system supply voltages are not disturbed. Very large capaci-
tive loads are easily supported with this device.
Figure 1 shows the timing during turn-on. When /ON is forced
low, all supplies are turned on at a slew rate determined by the
external capacitor, C
SLEW
.
Figure 2 shows the foldback characteristics for the supply
voltages. This foldback affect bounds the magnitude of the
current step when the supplies are turned on or shorted. This
specifies the compact PCI specification of 1.5A/ms, thereby
ensuring reliable operation. In discrete FET implementa-
tions, this magnitude can exceed several amps and may
cause the main supply to go out of regulation during this
transient event. This, in turn, could cause the system to
behave unpredictably. In addition, should a fault occur, the
MIC2580A will prevent system malfunctions by limiting the
current to within specifications.
MOSFET Selection
The external MOSFET should be selected to provide low
enough dc loss to satisfy the application's voltage regulation
requirements. Note that the voltage across the sense resistor
must also be added to the dc voltage drop across the
MOSFET to compute total loss. In addition to meeting the
voltage regulation specifications, thermal specifications must
also be considered. During normal operation very little power
should be dissipated in the MOSFET. DC power dissipation
of the MOSFET is easily computed as I
2
R
DS
where I is the
drain current and R
DS
is the specified on-resistance of the
MOSFET at the expected operating drain current. However,
during excessive drain current or short-circuit faults, the
power dissipation in the external MOSFET will increase
dramatically. To help compute the effective power dissipated
during such transients, MOSFET manufacturers provide
transient thermal impedance curves for each MOSFET.
These curves provide the effective thermal impedance of the
MOSFET under pulsed or repetitive conditions; for example,
as will be the case when enabling into a short circuit fault.
From these curves the effective rise in junction temperature
of the MOSFET for a given condition can be computed. The
equation is given as:
peak T
J
= PDM Z
JA
+ T
A
where PDM is the power dissipated in the MOSFET usually
computed as V
IN
x I
DRAIN
and Z
JA
is the thermal response
factor provided from the curves. Since the MIC2580A re-
duces the current to 30% of full scale even under severe faults
such as short-circuits the MOSFET power dissipation is held
to safe levels. This feature allows MOSFETs with smaller
packages to be used for a given application thereby reducing
cost and PCB real-estate requirements.

CompactPCITM BD_SEL# Pin Tied to Ground
For applications that use system backplanes with the
BD_SEL# pin tied to ground, the MIC2580A /ON pin is edge
sensitive. Therefore, the /ON pin requires a delay circuit for
proper start-up when the board has already been inserted
into the backplane and the supplies are switched off, then
back on. The circuit, shown in the figure below, allows the
MIC2580A /ON pin to transition from high to low which is
necessary for start-up. The delay time may be increased or
decreased by changing the RC time constant in the circuit,
but the delay time must exceed the ramp time of all system
backplane supplies. The same circuit is functional for hot
swap insertion.

PCB Layout Considerations
To achieve accurate current sensing Kelvin connections are
recommended between the supply pin and the respective
sense resistor as shown in Figure 8. PCB trace length should
be kept at a minimum. 0.02 inches per ampere is a minimum
width for 1 oz. copper to prevent damage to traces carrying
high current. Keep these high-current traces as short as
possible.
