APPLICATION INFORMATION
Live Insertion and Capacitance Buffering Application
Figure 10 through Figure 11 illustrate the usage of the TCA4311A in applications that take advantage of both its
hot swap controlling and capacitance buffering features. In all of these applications, note that if the I/O cards
were plugged directly into the backplane, all of the backplane and card capacitances would add directly together,
making rise- and fall-time requirements difficult to meet. Placing a TCA4311A on the edge of each card,
however, isolates the card capacitance from the backplane. For a given I/O card, the TCA4311A drives the
capacitance of everything on the card and the backplane must drive only the capacitance of the TCA4311A,
which is less than 10 pF.
Figure 10 shows the TCA4311A in a CompactPCI configuration. Connect V
CC
and EN to the output of one of
the CompactPCI power supply Hot Swap circuits. Use a pullup resistor to EN for a card side enable/disable.
V
CC
is monitored by a filtered UVLO circuit. With the V
CC
voltage powering up after all other pins have
established connection, the UVLO circuit ensures that the backplane and card data and clock busses are not
connected until the transients associated with live insertion have settled. Owing to their small capacitance, the
SDAIN and SCLIN pins cause minimal disturbance on the backplane busses when they make contact with the
connector.
