9.3.3 Hot Plug-In and In-Rush Current Control

The device is designed to control the in-rush current upon insertion of a card into a live backplane or other "hot" power source. This limits the voltage sag on the backplane’s supply voltage and prevents unintended resets of the system power. A slew rate controlled start-up (dVdT) also helps to eliminate conductive and radiative interferences. An external capacitor connected from the dVdT pin to GND defines the slew rate of the output voltage at power-on (as shown in Figure 51). Equation governing slew rate at start-up is shown in Equation 1.

Equation 1. TPS25942A TPS25942L TPS25944A TPS25944L eq2_lvsce9.gif

where

  • I(dVdT) = 1 µA (typical)
  • TPS25942A TPS25942L TPS25944A TPS25944L eq_2a_lvsce9.gif = Desired output slew rate
  • GAIN(dVdT) = dVdT to OUT gain = 12

The total ramp time (tdVdT) of V(OUT) for 0 to V(IN) can be calculated using Equation 2.

Equation 2. tdVdT = 8.3 x 104 x V(IN) x C(dVdT)

The inrush current, I(INRUSH) can be calculated as shown in Equation 3.

Equation 3. I(INRUSH) = C(OUT) x V(IN) / tdVdT.

The dVdT pin can be left floating to obtain a predetermined slew rate (tdVdT) on the output. When terminal is left floating, the device sets an internal ramp rate of 30 V/ms for output (V(OUT)) ramp.

Figure 61 and Figure 62 illustrate the inrush current control behavior of the TPS25942, TPS25944. For systems where load is present during start-up, the current never exceeds the overcurrent limit set by R(ILIM) resistor for the application. For defining appropriate charging time/rate under different load conditions, see the Setting Output Voltage Ramp Time (tdVdT) section.
