The ADM1275 is a hot-swap controller that allows a circuit board to be removed from or inserted into a live backplane. It also features current and voltage readback via an integrated 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), accessed using a PMBus™ interface.

The load current is measured using an internal current sense amplifier that measures the voltage across a sense resistor in the power path via the SENSE+ and SENSE− pins. A default limit of 20 mV is set, but this limit can be adjusted, if required, using a resistor divider network from the internal reference voltage to the ISET pin.

The ADM1275 limits the current through the sense resistor by controlling the gate voltage of an external N-channel FET in the power path, via the GATE pin. The sense voltage—and, therefore, the load current—is maintained below the preset maximum. The ADM1275 protects the external FET by limiting the time that the FET remains on while the current is at its maximum value. This current limit time is set by the choice of capacitor connected to the TIMER pin. In addition, a foldback resistor network can be used to actively lower the current limit as the voltage across the FET is increased. This helps to maintain constant power in the FET and allows the safe operating area (SOA) to be adhered to in an effective manner.

In case of a short-circuit event, a fast internal overcurrent detec-tor responds within 370 ns and signals the gate to shut down. A 1500 mA pull-down device ensures a fast FET response. The ADM1275 features overvoltage and undervoltage protection, programmed using external resistor dividers on the UV and OV pins. A PWRGD signal can be used to detect when the output supply is valid, using the FLB pin to monitor the output. GPO pins can be configured as various output signals that can be asserted when a programmed current or voltage level is reached.

The 12-bit ADC can measure the current in the sense resistor, as well as the supply voltage on the SENSE+ pin or the output voltage. A PMBus interface allows a controller to read current and voltage data from the ADC. Measurements can be initiated by a PMBus command. Alternatively, the ADC can run continu-ously, and the user can read the latest conversion data whenever required. Up to four unique PMBus addresses can be selected, depending on the way that the ADR pin is connected.

The ADM1275-1 and ADM1275-3 are available in a 20-lead QSOP and 20-lead LFCSP and have a LATCH pin that can be configured for automatic retry or latch-off when an overcurrent fault occurs. The ADM1275-2 is available in a 16-lead QSOP with latch-off mode only.

評估板EVAL-ADM127xEBZ

The EVAL-ADM127xEBZ is a compact full feature evaluation board for the ADM1275-1ACPZ, ADM1275-3ACPZ, and ADM1276-3ACPZ devices. The elaborated layout gives users a clear visual of all the peripheral components and the hot-swap power path. The layout also maximizes the board’s ability to dissipate heat for some of the key components on the power path, allowing the evaluation of very high current hot-swap setups.

Three sense-resistor slots and six multipackage FET slots give users great flexibility and allow them to simulate a wide range of application setups.

Multiple test points allow easy access to all critical points/pins. Six LEDs give users direct visual indication on variations in the board status, such as supply input, output, IC power good output, latch output, and GPO outputs. Six ADT75 digital temperature sensors on the back of the board allow users to obtain the board’s thermal data through an I2C bus in real time.

The kit supports I2C communication, allowing users to communicate with the ADM1275/ADM1276 and the ADT75. The evaluation kit also supports cascade setup so multiple evaluation boards can be connected together and share the same I2C bus.

The boards are fully compatible with the ADM1275/ADM1276 evaluation software tool, which can be downloaded at: www.analog.com/hotswap_powermonitor.

Note that users may need the USB-to-I2C dongle, USB-SMBUS-CABLEZ, to use the evaluation software tools.
The standard evaluation kit is prepopulated and tested with a 12 V, 60 A hot-swap design capable of working with a 4.7 mF output capacitor.

Complete specifications for the ADM1275 and the ADM1276 are available in the ADM1275 and the ADM1276 data sheets available from Analog Devices and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the evaluation boards.
