Description
The ISL6142/52 are 14 pin, negative voltage hot plug controllers that allow a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. Inrush current is limited to a programmable value by controlling the gate voltage of an external N-channel pass transistor. The pass transistor is turned off if the input voltage is less than the Under-Voltage threshold, or greater than the Over-Voltage threshold. The PWRGD/PWRGD outputs can be used to directly enable a power module. When the Gate and DRAIN voltages are both considered good the output is latched in the active state.
The IntelliTrip™ electronic circuit breaker and programmable current limit features protect the system against short circuits. When the Over-Current threshold is exceeded, the output current is limited for a time-out period before the circuit breaker trips and shuts down the FET. The time-out period is programmable with an external capacitor connected to the CT pin. If the fault disappears before the programmed time-out, normal operation resumes. In addition, the IntelliTrip™ electronic circuit breaker has a fast Hard Fault shutdown, with a threshold set at 4 times the Over-Current trip point. When activated, the GATE is immediately turned off and then slowly turned back on for a single retry.
The IS+, IS-, and ISOUT pins combine to provide a load current monitor feature that presents a scaled version of the load current at the ISOUT pin. Current to voltage conversion is accomplished by placing a resistor (R9) from ISOUT to the negative input (-48V).
