Interlock Conditions
A start-up sequence commences once these “interlock”
conditions are met:
1. The input voltage V
2. The voltage at UV > V
3. The voltage at OV < V
4. The input voltage at RESET < 0.8V.
5. The (SENSE – V
6. The voltage at SS is < 0.2V (20 • V
7. The voltage on the TIMER capacitor (C
8. The voltage at GATE is < 0.5V (V
The first four conditions are continuously monitored and
the latter four are checked prior to initial timing or GATE
ramp-up. Upon exiting an OV condition, the TIMER pin
voltage requirement is inhibited. Details are described in
the Applications Information, Timing Waveforms section.
If RESET < 0.8V occurs after the LTC4253/LTC4253A come
out of UVLO (interlock condition 1) and undervoltage (in-
terlock condition 2), GATE and SS are released without an
initial TIMER cycle once the other interlock conditions are
met (see Figure 13a). If not, TIMER begins the start-up
sequence by sourcing 5µA into C
out of range or RESET asserts, the start-up cycle stops
and TIMER discharges C
the aforementioned conditions are once again met. If C
successfully charges to 4V, TIMER pulls low and both SS
and GATE pins are released. GATE sources 50µA (I
charging the MOSFET gate and associated capacitance.
The SS voltage ramp limits V
current. PWRGD1 pulls active low when GATE is within
2.8V of V
the power good sequence in which PWRGD2 and then
PWRGD3 is subsequently pulled low after a delay, adjust-
able through the SQTIMER capacitor C
control inputs EN2 and EN3. In this way, external loads
or power modules controlled by the three PWRGD signals
are turned on in a controlled manner without overloading
the power bus.

Two modes of operation are possible during the time the
MOSFET is first turned on, depending on the values of
external components, MOSFET characteristics and nominal
design current. One possibility is that the MOSFET will
turn on gradually so that the inrush into the load capaci-
tance remains a low value. The output will simply ramp
to –48V and the LTC4253/LTC4253A will fully enhance
the MOSFET. A second possibility is that the load current
exceeds the soft-start current limit threshold of [V
20 – V
the output by sourcing soft-start limited current into the
load capacitance. If the soft-start voltage is below 1.2V,
the circuit breaker TIMER is held low. Above 1.2V, TIMER
ramps up. It is important to set the timer delay so that,
regardless of which start-up mode is used, the TIMER
ramp is less than one circuit breaker delay time. If this
condition is not met, the LTC4253/LTC4253A may shut
down after one circuit breaker delay time.
Board Removal
When the board is withdrawn from the card cage, the UV/
OV divider is the first to lose connection. This shuts off
the MOSFET and commutates the flow of current in the
connector. When the power pins subsequently separate
there is no arcing.
Current Control
Three levels of protection handle short-circuit and over-
load conditions. Load current is monitored by SENSE and
resistor R
50mV for a timed circuit breaker function; 100mV for an
analog current limit loop (60mV for the LTC4253A); and
200mV for a fast, feedforward comparator which limits
peak current in the event of a catastrophic short-circuit.
If, due to an output overload, the voltage drop across R
exceeds 50mV, TIMER sources 200µA into C
charges to a 4V threshold and the LTC4253/LTC4253A shut
off. If the overload goes away before C
SENSE measures less than 50mV, C
(5µA). In this way the LTC4253/LTC4253A’s circuit breaker
function responds to low duty cycle overloads, and ac-
counts for the fast heating and slow cooling characteristic
of the MOSFET.
