The TPS2320 and TPS2321 are dual-channel hot-swap controllers that use external N-channel MOSFETs as high-side switches in power applications. Features of these devices, such as overcurrent protection (OCP), inrush-current control, and the ability to discriminate between load transients and faults, are critical requirements for hot-swap applications. The TPS2320/21 devices incorporate undervoltage lockout (UVLO) to ensure the device is off at startup. Each internal charge pump, capable of driving multiple MOSFETs, provides enough gate-drive voltage to fully enhance the N-channel MOSFETs. The charge pumps control both the rise times and fall times (dv/dt) of the MOSFETs, reducing power transients during power up/down. The circuit-breaker functionality combines the ability to sense overcurrent conditions with a timer function; this allows designs such as DSPs, that may have high peak currents during power-state transitions, to disregard transients for a programmable period. DISCH1, DISCH2 DISCH1 and DISCH2 should be connected to the sources of the external N-channel MOSFET transistors connected to GATE1 and GATE2, respectively. These pins discharge the loads when the MOSFET transistors are disabled. They also serve as reference-voltage connections for internal gate voltage-clamp circuitry. ENABLE or ENABLE ENABLE for TPS2320 is active low. ENABLE for TPS2321 is active high. When the controller is enabled, both GATE1 and GATE2 voltages will power up to turn on the external MOSFETs. When the ENABLE pin is pulled high for TPS2320 or the ENABLE pin is pulled low for TPS2321 for more than 50 μs, the gate of the MOSFET is discharged at a controlled rate by a current source, and a transistor is enabled to discharge the output bulk capacitance. In addition, the device turns on the internal regulator PREREG (see VREG) when enabled and shuts down PREREG when disabled so that total supply current is much less than 5μA. FAULT FAULT is an open-drain overcurrent flag output. When an overcurrent condition in either channel is sustained long enough to charge TIMER to 0.5 V, the overcurrent channel latches off and pulls FAULT low. The other channel will run normally if not in overcurrent. In order to turn the channel back on, either the enable pin has to be toggled or the input power has to be cycled. GATE1, GATE2 GATE1 and GATE2 connect to the gates of external N-channel MOSFET transistors. When the device is enabled, internal charge-pump circuitry pulls these pins up by sourcing approximately 15μA to each. The turnon slew rates depend upon the capacitance present at the GATE1 and GATE2 terminals. If desired, the turnon slew rates can be further reduced by connecting capacitors between these pins and ground. These capacitors also reduce inrush current and protect the device from false overcurrent triggering during power up. The charge-pump circuitry will generate gate-to-source voltages of 9 V-12 V across the external MOSFET transistors. IN1,
