19-3426; Rev 0; 10/04 Dual FireWire Current Limiter and Low-Drop ORing Switch Controller General Description The MAX5944 is a dual, current limiter/low-drop ORing, switch controller power-management IC for FireWire (R) applications. Each independent channel controls two external power MOSFETs to regulate current from the input power supply to the load and performs low-voltagedrop power-supply ORing. The MAX5944 operates over the 7.5V to 37V input range and provides inrush and output current limit in addition to diode ORing functions suitable for FireWire applications. The MAX5944 allows the safe insertion and removal of FireWire peripherals into a live FireWire port by providing inrush current control and output current-limiting functions. The MAX5944 features a current-limit function that actively limits the current drawn by the load with a 2ms timeout. Its autoretry function then automatically restarts after the 259ms autoretry delay time. The ORing feature provides a very efficient way to protect the FireWire port when connected to another FireWire peripheral that sources a higher voltage. By turning off the external MOSFETS, the MAX5944 provides a true bidirectional load disconnect. Each channel has an independent ON/OFF control that results in less than 10A supply current per channel. The MAX5944 operates over the -40C to +85C extended temperature range and is available in a 16-pin SO package.

MAX5944 Functional Diagram _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 Dual FireWire Current Limiter and Low-Drop ORing Switch Controller MAX5944 Detailed Description The MAX5944 dual-channel controller IC performs hotswapping, power-supply ORing, and current limiting for FireWire power-supply applications. The MAX5944 incorporates four MOSFET drivers (GATE1_ and GATE2_) to control external n-channel power MOSFETs to perform low-voltage-drop power-supply ORing (GATE1_), hot-swapping, and current limiting (GATE2_) from the input power supply to the load. A sense resistor provides accurate current limiting. GATE1_ and GATE2_ provide true load disconnect to prevent current flowing from either direction between IN_ and OUT_. The MAX5944 independent channels remain in low-current shutdown mode when V ON_ is below the 0.4V threshold. Low-current shutdown mode disables the MAX5944 channels resulting in less than 10A supply current per channel. Shutdown places all logic inputs in a high-impedance state, which allows the inputs to be connected to IN_ without drawing additional current from the supply. When either input supply voltage (VIN_) is above 7.5V and V ON_ is above the V ON_REF threshold, the MAX5944 channel turns on, sourcing 50A current from GATE2_ (current regulation), to enhance Q2_ slowly. If the voltage across the current-sense resistor, VIS, is greater than the current-limit threshold, the MAX5944 regulates the GATE2_ voltage to limit the load current at the current-limit level so that VIS is equal to VTH. In normal operation, VIS drops below VTH and GATE2_ rises to approximately 5.5V above OUT. GATE1_ controls the MAX5944 ORing function. Initially, GATE1_ is off (ONQ1 = low) and the load current conducts through the body diode of Q1_. GATE1_ rises to 5.5V above IN_ when V IS exceeds V OR , thereby enhancing Q1_ and reducing the voltage drop, power dissipation, and heat generation in the power-supply pathway. When a voltage greater than VIN_ is connected at OUT_, the higher voltage source commences providing current to the load. The MAX5944 turns off GATE1_ rapidly upon VIS falling below the VOR hysteresis, thus blocking the higher voltage from backdriving V IN_ . GATE1_ also turns off when the load current drops, causing VIS to fall below VOR_ hysteresis. GATE2_ rises to VG2 (5.5V) to fully enhance MOSFET Q2_ (see the Typical Operating Circuit). When the load attempts to draw more current than ILIMIT, the MAX5944's GATE2_ pulldown current (IG2D) regulates the current through Q2_, causing OUT_ to act as a constant current source. The output current is limited to ILIMIT. If the current-limit condition persists after the 2ms current-limit timeout period (tILIM) has expired, the GATE2_ strong pulldown current (IG2_OFF) quickly turns off GATE2_ to disconnect the load from the power supply and FAULT_ asserts low (Figure 2a). If the current-limit duration is less than tILIM, GATE2_ pulls to VGS2 (Figure 2b). During an output short circuit or a gross overload, the load current overshoots and causes VIS to exceed the fast pulldown current-limit threshold voltage (V THF ). The MAX5944 responds with much stronger GATE2_ pulldown currents (I G2DP and/or IG2DF) to quickly bring the load current back down to the programmed current limit. Current-Limit Threshold The MAX5944 current limit has internal 50mV trip threshold voltages (VTH). Use the following formula to calculate the maximum current: ILIMIT = VTH / RSENSE_ where VTH is the 50mV (typ) threshold voltage across RSENSE_, and RSENSE_ is the sense resistor connected between IN_ and SENSE_. Power-Supply ORing, GATE1_ GATE1_ controls the MAX5944 ORing function. The MAX5944 accomplishes a very low voltage-drop diode ORing function using n-channel power MOSFETs. Initially, GATE1_ is off (ONQ1 = low) and the load current conducts through the body diode of Q1_, Figure 3. GATE1_ rises to 5.5V above SENSE_ when VIS exceeds the 5mV V OR threshold, enhancing Q1_. Q1_'s low RDS(ON) provides a very low voltage drop across its source to drain, which results in less power dissipation and heat generation in the power-supply path than a traditional diode. The MAX5944 continuously monitors the load currents through the voltage drops, VIS, across the current-sensing resistors. Q1_ turns off rapidly when VIS decreases below the VOR minus its hysteresis. Connect ONQ1 to GND for a normal ORing function. Drive ONQ1 high to force Q1 on, regardless of the load-current condition, as long as voltages at IN_ and ON_ exceed VUVLO and VON-REF, repectively, and the device is not in a current-fault shutdown. Current Limiting The MAX5944 limits the load current by monitoring the voltage across RSENSE_ at all times and regulating the current to the load as necessary to keep VIS to its current-limit threshold voltage (VTH). Set the maximum current limit (I LIMIT ) by placing the appropriate sense resistor between IN_ and SENSE_, where ILIMIT_ = VTH / R SENSE_. When the load current is less than I LIMIT, 10 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Dual FireWire Current Limiter and Low-Drop ORing Switch Controller MAX5944 VIN VFAULT tILIM ILIMIT RSENSE Q1A Q2A TO FireWire PORT ON_ IN_ SENSE_ GATE1_ GATE2_ OUT_ IOUT MAX5944 VIN GND ONQ1 VGATE1 Figure 3.

MAX5944 ORing Controller Rerouting Load Current VGATE1 from the higher supply input (INB) to OUTB, and then to the load (Figure 5). Reverse-Current Override (ONQ1 = HIGH) Drive ONQ1 high to disable the MAX5944 power-supply ORing. Disabling the MAX5944 ORing function allows reverse-current flow through the power-supply system. When ONQ1 is high, GATE1A and GATE1B remain fully enhanced as long as their respective VIN_ is greater than 7.5V, VON_ is above the 1.24V threshold, and the channels are not in a current-limit fault condition. The MAX5944 reverse-current flow feature permits a higher voltage source connected at Port 1 to be routed to Port 2, as long as the voltage at both inputs (IN_) is initially above the minimum 7.5V operating range, see Figure 6.

MAX5944 Power Switch Over ORing Timing Diagram Figure 6. MAX5944 Operating in Reverse-Current Mode (Routing Power from Port 1 to Port 2) Undervoltage Lockout The MAX5944 dual-channel, independent current-limit switches have independent ON/OFF control. Both channels operate from 7.5V to 37V and have default 6.5V undervoltage lockout thresholds. The external MOSFETs remain off as long as VIN_ < 6.5V and/or VON_ < VON_REF. The UVLO thresholds are programmable by connecting a resistor-divider at ON_. When VON_ > 1.24V and VIN_ > 7.5V, GATE2_ enhances to 5.5V, with respect to OUT_ and the MAX5944 switch goes into normal operation. Program the switches' individual turn-on threshold voltages using the following formula: V R1 = TURN-ON - 1 x R2 1.24 where V TURN-ON is the desired turn-on voltage of channel A and/or B. Choose an R2 value in the 1k range to minimize error due to ON input bias current. When operating the MAX5944, ON_ must remain above its 1.24V threshold. If VON_ falls below its 1.24V thresh12 old, the power-supply MOSFETs turn off immediately (less than 1s). This allows the power supply to disconnect in the event of a fault condition detected by the system, such as shorting of the output to a different power-supply voltage or a FireWire signal pin. If possible transient conditions exist at the main power-supply line (IN_), place an RC filter at ON_ to reject transient voltage dips to prevent unnecessary power-supply interruptions. The MAX5944 remain in low-current shutdown mode when VON_ is below the 0.4V threshold. Low-current shutdown mode disables the channel resulting in less than 10A supply current. Current-Fault Status Outputs (FAULT_) FAULT_ are high-voltage, open-drain outputs that pull low when a current-limit fault shutdown has occurred. FAULT_ remain low until the next startup cycle. Autoretry Fault Management The MAX5944 autoretry feature attempts to restart after a tOFF of 259ms, limiting the duty cycle of the MOSFETs ______________________________________________________________________________________ Dual FireWire Current Limiter and Low-Drop ORing Switch Controller MOSFET Selection VIN IN_ R1 MAX5944 MAX5944 ON_ R2 GND Figure 7. Setting the MAX5944 Turn-On Voltage to 1/129 under continuous fault conditions. FAULT_ deasserts every time a restart attempt is made. Select external MOSFETs according to the application current level. The MOSFETs' on-resistance (RDS(ON)) should be chosen low enough to have minimum voltage drop at full load to limit the MOSFET power dissipation. High RDS(ON) also causes large output ripple if there is a pulsating load. Determine the device power rating to accommodate a short-circuit condition on the board, at startup, and when the device is in autoretry mode. During normal operation, the external MOSFETs dissipate little power. The power dissipated in normal operation is: P = ILOAD2 x RDS(ON) The most power dissipation will occur during a shortcircuit event, resulting in high power dissipated in Q2 (Figure 8) during the timeout period for the MAX5944, where the power dissipated across Q2 is: PQ2 = (VIN - VIS - VQ1) x ILIMIT Applications Information Startup Considerations Set the appropriate current-limit threshold for a successful MAX5944 startup. A successful startup is dependent on the MAX5944 current-limit threshold and timeout period. A large capacitor at OUT will result in a charging current equivalent to the current-limit threshold and may cause the MAX5944 to exceed its 2ms timeout period, if the current-limit threshold is set too low. Use the following formula to compute the minimum current-limit setting: ILIMIT > COUT x VIN + ILOAD tILIM Transient Protection If IN_ or OUT_ experiences a fast transient rise in voltage, the drain-to-gate overlap capacitance of GATE1_ and/or GATE2_ FETs may be sufficient to enhance one of the transistors, allowing current to flow. If the circuit is subjected to large transients, connect capacitors from the gate to source across the appropriate MOSFET to prevent the overlap capacitance from turning on the device. This results in the turn-off time of the FETs to increase due to the additional discharge of the capacitor. Use the minimum capacitor value that will prevent reverse currents from flowing in hot-plug situations. FireWire Power Management The MAX5944 serves to regulate and protect FireWire power over a system interface. The MAX5944 programmable features that make it suitable for both powerprovider and power-receiver applications. Figure 9 shows a high-end two-port FireWire power-management system using two MAX5944 dual-channel FireWire current-limiting ICs. ILIMIT + VQ1 Q1 IN_ SENSE_ GATE1_ + VQ2 Q2 GATE2_ OUT_ where ILIMIT is the programmed current limit, COUT is the capacitor at OUT, VIN is the supply voltage, tILIM is the 2ms current-limit timeout period, and ILOAD is the load current during startup. With VIN = 12V, COUT = 220F, and ILOAD = 0, set the MAX5944 current limit greater than 1.3A. This calculation does not include tolerances. Choosing RSENSE Select a sense resistor that causes the current-limit voltage drop at a current-limit level above the maximum normal operating current. Typically, set the current limit at 1.2 to 1.5 times the nominal load current. Choose the sense-resistor power rating to accommodate a current-limit condition: PSENSE = (VTH)2 / RSENSE where PSENSE is the power dissipated across RSENSE during a current-limit fault.
