LTC4282

High Current Hot Swap Controller

with I2C Compatible Monitoring

Demonstration circuit 2024A features the LT C

4282 high

current Hot Swap controller.The LTC4282 is well suited

to high power applications because the precise monitor-

ing capability and accurate current limiting reduces the

extremes in which both loads and power supplies must

safely operate.Non-volatile configuration allows for flex-

ibility in the autonomous generation of alerts and response

to faults.The LTC4282 provides a rich set of features to

support Hot Swap applications including:

n 12-/16-Bit ADC Monitors Current,Voltage,Power and

Energy

n Controls Two Sets of Parallel MOSFETs for High Current

Applications

n I2C/SMBus Interface

Operating Principles

The LTC4282 is a low voltage,high current Hot Swap

controller that has a 2.9V to 33V operating range and

a 45V absolute maximum voltage for the VDD pin.This

demo circuit is populated for 12V operation,but it can

easily be readjusted for any voltage between 2.9V and 30V

by replacing R1, R2, and R7 (top resistors in the UV/OV

divider and the FB divider). The DC2024A as supplied by

the factory is populated with a pair of PSMN1R5-30BLE

MOSFETs in D2PAK packages.A total of ten 3mΩ sense

resistors are used providing typically 100A of load cur-

rent. The current limit and circuit breaker thresholds can

be adjusted by changing the sense resistors R25, R30,

R35, R41, R47, R52, R57, R62, R67, and R72 and/or the

value of ∆VSENSE via addressable registers in the LTC4282.

Several locationsfor MOSFETpackagesas wellas additional

sense resistors are available on the front and rear of the

PCB for higher current configurations.

Quick Start Procedure (Without Software)

DC2024A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of

the LTC4282. Refer to Figure 1for proper measurement

equipment setup and follow the procedure below.

WARNING

The DC2024A is capable of operation in excess of 100A.

At this current and power level,there is a danger of seri-

ous personal injury and equipment damage if proper

techniques are not used.All cabling between the power

supply and the load should be capable of handling the

current levels used.

Additionally, the high currents and fast transients can

cause unexpected voltage drops in cables connecting the

test equipment to the DC2024A due to parasitic resistance

and inductance.The cable drops may cause ground loops

for the current via various cables and scope probes.This

will cause unexplained ringing,distorted oscilloscope

waveforms, voltage and current spikes,and signals ap-

pearing to be below ground.

DEMO MANUAL DC2024A

Quick start proceDure

A common sneak path for current is the third wire

grounds used on power cords of test equipment in use.

Using ground lifting connectors at the wall outlet won’t

necessarily alleviate these effects since most equipment

has line bypassing capacitors between the mains voltage

and local chassis ground.Isolating test equipment using

line isolation transformers with low primary to secondary

capacitance is recommended.Probe ground leads may

intercept induced fields from the high current paths and

should be minimized or avoided

Another method to remove these artifacts is the use of

a differential scope probe connected between the signal

to be observed and a ground connection located close to

the point of measurement.

Also be careful to not allow an open ground from the

power supply or load to cause return current through the

grounds of the various devices connected to the demo

board. This may present a fire hazard or cause damage

to the test equipment.

The DC2024A is set up to operate in a 12V system at

current levels up to 100A. At 100A, the MOSFETs are

dissipating 3.75W each and additional air flow may be

needed to keep them within safe thermal operating limits

for continuous operation.If additional current is required

without sufficient air flow,multiple MOSFETs should be

connected in parallel with the existing MOSFETs to lower

the I2R losses.

Powering Up

Connect power supply capable of 120A at 0V to 20V to

the 12V input as shown in Figure 1. Verify cabling shown

in extra bold lines is capable of carrying 100A safely.The

GND connection does not handle high current so no high

current cabling is required.

Generally, an electronic load will be used.If this is true,

use it in the constant resistance mode.Use in constant

current will prevent start up because of current foldback

in the LTC4282. Current foldback is used to minimize

dissipation in the MOSFETs used as pass devices with

the LTC4282. To effect this,current is initially limited to

approximately 1/3 of full limit until the output voltage is

above 10V. If a constant current load is used and set to

100A, the LTC4282 will not start up and a current fault

will be reported.

UV/OV Thresholds

With no load on the output,slowly increase the voltage

on the input to the board.Observe the input voltage when

LED D2 (OUT) illuminates.This voltage should be between

10.7Vand 11.4V.Continueincreasing thevoltage untilD2is

extinguished.Thisshould occur between14.4V and 15.3V.

Output Voltage Slew Rate

With no load connected,observe the output voltage

between turret 12VOUT (E5), and GND.Apply 12V to the

12VIN connector.The output voltage should slew from 0V

to 12V in 10ms to 25ms.

Output Current Limit

Turn off power supply and connect electronic load to the

DC2024 as shown in Figure 1. Disable electronic load.

Adjust power supply to 12V and verify its current level is

set to >120A.

Slowly increase conductance of the electronic load while

monitoring current.As the load increases to around 100A,

the output voltage and current will fall to zero.Note the

current where this occurs. This should be 95A to 105A.

Ability to Charge Output Capacitor

Turn off power supply and disconnect electronic load.

Replace load with a 10,000µF capacitor rated at 15V or

greater. Turn on power supply and observe that the output

voltage rises to 12V indicating the DC2024 has connected

tothe load andsuccessfully chargedtheoutput capacitance.

Monitor the current during the period when the capacitor

is charging, it should be a maximum of 12A.
