General Description
The Supertex HV300 (and HV310),
Hotswap Controller, Negative
Supply
control power supply connection during insertion of
cards or modules into live backplanes. They may be used in
traditional ‘negative 48V’ powered systems or for higher voltage
busses up to negative 90V.
Operation during the initial power up prevents turn-on glitches,
and after complete charging of load capacitors (typically found
in filters at the input of DC-DC converters) the HV300 (and
HV310) issues a power good signal. This signal is typically
used to enable the DC-DC converter.
The only difference between the HV300 and the HV310 is the
polarity of the PWRGD signal line to accommodate different
DC-DC converter models. Once PWRGD signal has been
established the device sleeps in a low power state, important
for large systems with many individual hotswap cards or
modules.
An external power MOSFET is required as the pass element,
plus a ramp capacitor, and resistors to establish current limiting
and over and under voltage lockouts. There is no need for
additional external snubber components.
Features are programmable over voltage and under voltage
detection of the input voltage which locks out the load connection
if the bus (input) voltage is out of range. An internal voltage
regulator creates a stable reference, and maintains accurate
gate drive voltage. The unique control loop scheme provides
full current control and limiting during start up.

Theory of Operation
Initially the external N-channel MOSFET is held off by the gate
signal, preventing an input glitch. After a delay (while internal
circuits are activated) the inrush current to the load is limited by
the gate control output. The current may ramp up and limit at
a maximum value programmed by an external resistor. Initial
time delay, to allow for contact bounce, and charging operation
is determined by the single external ramp capacitor connected
to the RAMP pin. When the load capacitor is fully charged, the
controller emerges from current limit mode, an additional time
delay occurs before the external N-channel MOSFET pass
transistor is switched to full conduction, and the PWRGD
output signal is activated. The controller will then transition to
a low power standby mode.
The HV300LG PWRGD is active high (open drain), while the
HV310LG PWRGD is active low (V
