Hot Circuit Insertion
When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, the
circuit board bypass capacitors can draw large peak
currents from the backplane power bus as they charge up.
The LT4220 is designed to turn on a board’s ±V dual
supplies in a controlled manner, allowing the circuit board
to be safely inserted or removed from a live backplane. The
part provides supply tracking as well as undervoltage and
overcurrent protection. Power good and fault output sig-
nals indicate, respectively, if both power output voltages
are ready or if an overcurrent time-out fault has occurred.
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
The dual power supply on the circuit board is controlled
with two external N-channel pass transistors Q1 and Q2 in
the ±V dual power supply path. The sense resistors R
S
+
and R
S
– provide current detection while capacitor C1 and
C2 control the V
OUT
+ and V
OUT
– slew rate. Optionally, the
TRACK pin can be tied to V
CC
enabling the dual output
voltages to ramp up together by tracking the voltages at
the FB
+
and FB
–
pins. Resistors R6 and R8 provide current
control loop compensation while R5 and R7 prevent high
frequency oscillations in Q1 and Q2. C3 and R8 on Q2
prevent fast dV/dt transients from turning Q2 on during
