The TPS2477x is a high performance analog Hot Swap Controller for 2.5 V to 18 V systems. The precise and highly programmable protection settings of the TPS2477x aid the design of high power high availability systems where isolating faults is critical. Programmable current limit, fast shut down, and fault timer protect the load and supply during fault conditions such as a hot - short. The fast shutdown threshold can be tuned to ensure a fast response to real faults, while avoiding nuisance trips. Programmable Safe Operating Area (SOA) protection and the inrush timer keep the MOSFET safe under all conditions. After asserting power good, TPS2477x acts as a circuit breaker and runs the fault timer during over current events, but doesn’t current limit. It shuts down after the fault timer expires. Two independent timers (inrush/fault) allow the user to customize protection based on system requirements. Finally, the flexibility of the TPS2477x aid Hot Swap design for the 240 VA requirement and a design example is shown in the datasheet.

The TPS2480/81 are designed to minimize inrush into applications and protect both the load and the FET from over-current or short circuit events. They control an external N-channel MOSFET switch and provide accurate voltage, current, and power monitoring using a configurable 12 bit A/D converter via an I2C interface. The independently adjustable power limit and current limit ensure that the external MOSFET operates within the FET’s Safe Operating Area (SOA). The flexible design includes a Power Good output which can be used for sequencing as well as load fault indication. An external timer capacitor can set the fault time to help immunize the system from nuisance shutdowns during brief transient events. The monitoring circuitry incorporates a high accuracy A/D converter which can be configured from a 9 to 13 bit converter. The internal gain of the A/D can be configured to scale the current, voltage and power readings to the needs of the application. An additional multiplying register calculates power in Watts. The I2C interface uses multi-level addressing to allow up to 16 programmable addresses. The TPS2480 and TPS2481 monitors shunts on buses that can vary from 9 V to 26 V and with a few external components it is possible to monitor buses as high as 80 V. The monitoring circuitry uses a single 3-V to 5.5-V supply, drawing a maximum of 1 mA of supply current.

The TPS2482 and TPS2483 provide hotswap control and precision monitoring for 9-V to 36-V applications. Accurate voltage, current, and power monitoring is provided by a 16-bit A/D converter with a serial interface that is compatible with I2C and SMBus. Voltage and current measurements are interleaved and multiplied internally to provide concurrent power calculations. These devices have high current monitoring accuracy over temperature and a broad load range. This makes them well suited for applications where load identity and health is determined by current profile, such as remote radio heads or cellular antennae. The hotswap section drives N-channel MOSFETs, with timed inrush and fault-current limiting. Advanced MOSFET safe operating area (SOA) protection is achieved by programmable constant-power foldback and a fixed current limit. This results in an exponential inrush current profile as shown in the start-up figure below. As VOUTramps up and the VDSof the MOSFET is reduced the current increases keeping MOSFET power dissipation within its SOA at all times. The TPS2482 latches off after a hard fault, while the TPS2483 automatically attempts to restart after a cool-off delay. The TPS2482 and TPS2483 can be dropped into existing TPS2480 and TPS2481 sockets to provide improved accuracy and operating voltage range. This can be accomplished with no PCB changes and minor software modifications. While the standard monitoring function is limited to 36 V, with a few external components it is possible to monitor buses as high as 80 V.
