Detailed Description
The MAX5927A/MAX5929A–MAX5929D are circuit-
breaker ICs for hot-swap applications where a line card
is inserted into a live backplane. The MAX5927A/
MAX5929A–MAX5929D operate down to 1V provided
one of the inputs is at or 2.7V. Normally, when a line
card is plugged into a live backplane, the card’s dis-
charged filter capacitors provide low impedance that
can momentarily cause the main power supply to col-
lapse. MAX5927A/MAX5929A–MAX5929D reside either
on the backplane or on the removable card to provide
inrush current limiting and short-circuit protection. This is
achieved by using external n-channel MOSFETs, exter-
nal current-sense resistors, and on-chip comparators.
The startup period and current-limit threshold of the
MAX5927A/MAX5929A–MAX5929D can be adjusted
with external resistors. Figure 1 shows the MAX5927A/
MAX5929A–MAX5929D functional diagram.
The MAX5927A offers four programmable current limits,
selectable fault management mode, and selectable
STAT_ output polarity. The MAX5929A–MAX5929D fea-
ture fixed current limits, and a variety of fault manage-
ment and STAT_ polarity option combinations.
Mode
The MAX5927A/MAX5929A–MAX5929D support three
modes of operation: voltage tracking, power sequenc-
ing, and independent. Select the appropriate mode
according to Table 1.
Voltage-Tracking Mode
Connect MODE high to enter voltage-tracking mode.
While in voltage-tracking mode, all channels turn on
and off together. To turn all channels on:
At least one V
IN_
must exceed V
UVLO
(2.45V) for the
UVLO to startup delay (37.5ms).
All V
IN_
must exceed V
PWRRDY
(0.95V).
All V
ON_
must exceed V
ON,TH
(0.875V).
No faults may be present on any channel.
