General Description

The ADM1270 is a current limiting controller designed for inrush current limiting and overcurrent protection in modular or battery-powered systems. It controls in-rush current during power-on using an external P-channel FET and prevents reverse current flow.

Specifications

Operates within a voltage range of 4 V to 60 V with a quiescent current of 360 to 500 μA. It includes UV and OV protection with specific thresholds and hysteresis values, and a current sense amplifier with a gain of 40 V/V.

Absolute Maximum Ratings

Defines voltage limits for various pins, continuous current limits, and temperature ranges for storage and operation. Exceeding these ratings may cause permanent damage.

Pin Configuration and Function Descriptions

The ADM1270 is available in LFCSP and QSOP packages, with specific pin functions such as VCAP for internal regulated supply, ISET for current limit programming, and GATE for external P-channel FET drive.

Pin Descriptions
  • UV Undervoltage Input Pin: Detects undervoltage conditions using an external resistor divider.
  • OV Overvoltage Input Pin: Detects overvoltage conditions using an external resistor divider.
  • ENABLE Pin: Must be high for the controller to initiate power-up.
  • FAULT Output: Indicates shutdown due to an overcurrent fault, with an option for automatic retry.
  • GND Pin: Ground connection.
  • TIMER Pin: Sets overcurrent fault delay with an external capacitor.
  • TIMER_OFF Pin: Sets initial timing cycle delay and SOA off-time delay.
  • FB_PG Feedback Input Pin: Detects when output voltage is above the PWRGD threshold.
  • FLB Foldback Pin: Reduces current limit when source voltage drops to protect the FET.
  • PWRGD Signal: Indicates supply is within tolerance.
  • GATE Output Pin: Drives an external P-channel FET, regulating load current.
  • SENSE− Input Pin: Works with SENSE+ to set the analog current limit.
Typical Performance Characteristics

Theory of Operation

The ADM1270 controls inrush current during system power-up, protecting against excess currents. It uses a current sense amplifier to measure voltage across a sense resistor, controlling an external P-channel FET to maintain current below a preset maximum.

Functional Block Diagram

Illustrates the internal structure and connections of the ADM1270, highlighting key components like the gate drive, current limit control, and various input/output pins.

Powering the ADM1270

Requires a supply voltage between 4V and 60V, with the VCC/SENSE+ pin providing the majority of the bias current.

Current Sense Inputs

Monitors load current via a voltage drop across an external sense resistor, with an internal amplifier providing a gain of 40.

Current-Limit Reference

Determines load current limit during overcurrent events, using the lowest voltage between ISET and FLB as the reference.

Setting the Current Limit (ISET)

Involves selecting a sense resistor to match the desired load current, with considerations for larger currents requiring smaller resistor values.

Overview

The ADM1270 is a hot swap controller designed to manage power supply connections and protect against overcurrent conditions. It features adjustable current sense voltage limits, foldback current limiting, and undervoltage/overvoltage protection.

Specifications

The device allows programming of the current sense voltage limit from 12.5 mV to 62.5 mV, with a default of 50 mV. It operates with a supply voltage range of 4V to 60V and includes a fast response circuit for severe overcurrent detection.

Current Sense Limit

The current sense voltage can be adjusted using an external resistor divider. The VCAP pin provides a 3.6 V reference voltage for setting the ISET pin voltage.

Foldback Current Limiting

This feature reduces the current limit as the voltage drop across the FET increases, minimizing power dissipation during overcurrent events.

TIMER Functionality

The TIMER pin, with an external capacitor, controls the fault current-limit time and hot swap retry duty cycle. The TIMER_OFF pin manages the initial power-on reset time and fault current-limit off time.

Hot Swap Retry Duty Cycle

The device can be configured for auto-retry mode, where it automatically attempts to restart the hot swap operation after an overcurrent fault.

Protection Features

The ADM1270 includes undervoltage and overvoltage monitoring, with dedicated UV and OV pins. The ENABLE pin allows for manual control of the device's power-up sequence.

Power Good Indicator

The PWRGD output indicates whether the output voltage is above a user-defined threshold, using a resistor divider connected to the FB_PG pin.

Package Information

The ADM1270 is available in LFCSP and QSOP packages, compliant with JEDEC standards. Evaluation boards are also available for testing and development purposes.

Industrial Modules Battery Powered/Portable Instrumentation The ADM1270 is a current limiting controller that is intended to provide inrush current limiting and overcurrent protection for modular or battery powered systems. When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, discharged supply bypass capacitors draw large transient currents from the backplane power bus as they charge. These transient currents can cause permanent damage to connector pins, as well as dips on the backplane supply that can reset other boards in the system. To protect the system from a reverse polarity input supply, there is a provision made to control an additional external P-channel FET. This feature is used to prevent reverse current flow that could damage the load or the ADM1270. The ADM1270 is available in a 3x3 16-lead LFCSP and a 16-lead QSOP package. Rev.
