INTRODUCTION
The SMH4814 is an integrated power controller
designed to control the hot-swapping of plug-in cards
in a distributed power environment. The SMH4814
drives external power MOSFET switches that connect
the supply to the load while reducing in-rush current
and providing over-current protection. When the
source and drain voltages of the external MOSFETs
are within specification the SMH4814 asserts the four
PUP logic outputs in a programmable cascade
sequence to enable the DC/DC converters.
The SMH4814 also monitors two independent 48V
feeds. The redundant power supplies allow for high
availability and reliability. The traditional method of
supplying power from these feeds is via ORing power
diodes, which consume a significant amount of power.
The SMH4814 allows low-RDS
ON
FETs to be used in
place of ORing diodes to reduce power consumption.
The SMH4814 determines when at least one of the
48V feeds is within an acceptable voltage range and
switches on the appropriate FET path while providing
slew rate control. The SMH4814 continuously monitors
the incoming feeds and switches to the most negative
feed as necessary. The SMH4814 is programmed and
controlled using the I
2
C bus as required in ATCA
TM
applications.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SMH4814 integrated power controller operates
within a wide supply range, typically 32 to 72 volts,
and generates the signals necessary to drive isolated-
output DC/DC converters.
The device accepts two independent 48V feeds via
input pins FEED
A
and FEED
B
. The VGATE
A
pin
controls the flow of power from FEED
A
to the load.
The VGATE
B
pin controls the flow of power from
FEED
B
to the load.
The SMH4814 continuously monitors the voltage on
FEED
A
and FEED
B
. The supply arbitration block in
Figure 2 selects which pin drives power to the device
based on the voltage level on each pin and the
acceptable voltage range. Once the FEED
A
or FEED
B
pin is selected the SMH4814 asserts the
corresponding VGATE pin. The assertion of this pin
turns on the external low-RDS
ON
FETs to supply power
to the load.
Start-up Procedure
The general start-up procedure is as follows:
1. A physical connection must be made with the
chassis to discharge any electrostatic voltage
potentials when a typical add-in board is inserted
into the powered backplane.
2. The board then contacts the long pins on the
backplane that provide power and ground.
3. As soon as power is applied the device starts up,
but it does not immediately apply power to the
output load.
4. Under-voltage and over-voltage circuits inside the
controller verify that the input voltage is within a
user-specified range.
5. The SMH4814 senses the PD1 and PD0 pin
detection signals to indicate the card is seated
properly.
These requirements must be met for a Pin Detect
Delay period of t
PDD
. Once this time has elapsed the
hot-swap controller enables VGATE_HS to turn on the
external power MOSFET switch.
The VGATE_HS output is current limited to I
VGATE
,
allowing the slew rate to be easily modified using
external passive components. During the controlled
turn-on period the V
DS
of the MOSFET is monitored by
the DRAIN SENSE input. When DRAIN SENSE drops
below 2.5V, and VGATE_HS rises above V12 V
GT
,
the SMH4814 asserts the PUP
A
through PUP
D
power
good outputs to enable the DC/DC controllers.
Steady-state operation is maintained as long as all
conditions are normal. Any of the following events
may cause the device to disable the DC/DC controllers
by shutting down the power MOSFETs:
An under-voltage or over-voltage condition on the
host power supply.
A failure of the power MOSFET sensed via the
DRAIN SENSE pin.
The PD1/PD0 pin detect signals becoming invalid.
The master enable (EN/TS) falls below 2.5V.
Any of the FB inputs driven low by events on the
secondary side of the DC/DC controllers.
The occurrence of an overcurrent.
The SMH4814 may be configured so that after any of
these events occurs the VGATE output shuts off, and
either latches into an off state or recycles power after
a cooling down period, t
CYC
.
Powering V12
The SMH4814 contains an internal shunt regulator on
the V12 pin that prevents the voltage from exceeding
12V. It is necessary to use a dropping resistor (R
D
)
between the host power supply and the V12 pin in
order to limit current into the device and prevent
possible damage. The dropping resistor allows the
device to operate across a wide range of system
supply voltages, typically 32 V to 72V, and also
helps protect the device against common-mode power
surges. Refer to the Applications Section for help on
calculating the R
D
resistance value.

enable pins. They can be used in one of 4 programmable sequence
positions to switch a load or enable a DC/DC converter after a
programmable delay, t
PGDn
. The voltage on these pins cannot exceed 12V
relative to V
SS
.
10 O FAULT#
FAULT# is an open-drain, active-low output that indicates the fault status of
the device. The device's Status Register may be polled to determine more
detailed information about the fault condition.
11 PWR VSS This is connected to the negative side of the supply.
12 I
CBSENSE
The circuit breaker sense input is used to detect over-current conditions
across an external, low value sense resistor (R
S
)
tied in series with the
Power MOSFET. A voltage drop of greater than V
CB
(programmable level)
across the resistor for longer than t
CBD
trips the circuit breaker. A
programmable Quick-TripTM sense point is also available.
13 I UV
The UV pin is used as an under-voltage supply monitor, typically in
conjunction with an external resistor ladder. VGATE_HS is enabled when
the UV input > Vuv and disabled when UV < Vuv-Vuvhys. An optional
programmable filter delay is also available on the UV input.
14 I OV
The OV pin is used as an over-voltage supply monitor, typically in
conjunction with an external resistor ladder. VGATE_HS is disabled when
OV > Vov and enabled when OV < Vov-Vovhys. A filter delay is also
available on the OV input.
15 I EN/TS
The Enable/Temperature Sense input is the master enable input. If EN/TS
is less than 2.5V, all VGATE outputs are disabled.
16 I
SLEW_CNTL
A capacitor connected to this pin controls the VGATE_HS Slew Rate.
17 I FEED
B
Connect to the -48V 'B' feed using a series 100k resistor. The voltage on
this pin is compared with the voltage on the FEED
A
pin internally by the
supply arbitration logic to determine which voltage will be used.
