Description

LTC4417

Prioritized PowerPath™ Controller

Demonstration circuit DC1717A uses the LT C

4417 to

arbitrate between three input supply rails,selecting the

highest priority,valid supply to power the load.The rail’s

priority is defined by the input connection (V1-V3). Each

rail has overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds set by

external resistors.If the highest priority rail voltage falls

out of the defined window (overvoltage or undervoltage),

the rail with the next highest priority,which is valid,is

overview

operating principles

The LTC4417 controls three sets of external back-to-back

P-channel MOSFETs to connect the proper rail to the

load. Precision comparators are used to monitor each of

the three input rails for both UV and OV conditions.The

highest priority input supply whose voltage is within its

respective OV/UV window for at least 256ms is consid-

ered valid and connected to the load.Low signals on the

VALID1, VALID2,and VALID3 pins indicate validation of

the V1, V2, and V3 voltages.

DC1717A is designed to operate from inputs of 12V,

5V, and 8V, applied to V1, V2and V3respectively.The

valid range of each supply is ±20%, as set by OV and UV

comparators and their associated resistive dividers.V1

has the highest priority,V3has the lowest.The highest

priority input that is also within its valid range is selected

to power the output.V1, V2and V3inputs are protected

against input glitches of up to ±42V. Maximum load cur-

rent is 2A, limited by MOSFET capability.

Logic and LEDs are included to provide visual information

about the operating status.These circuits are powered

from a 6V to 24V auxiliary voltage input (AVI)which is

regulated by an LT3060 (U4) to 5V. This auxiliary 5V rail

also powers 100kΩ pull-ups for VALID pins.AVI must be

present in order for the board to operate.See the Modifica-

tion section for a means of eliminating AVI.

To eliminate back-and-forth switching during rail switcho-

ver,theLTC4417providesa30mVhysteresisintheOVand

UVcomparators,andanexternallyadjustablecurrentmode

hysteresis using the OV/UV resistive dividers.DC1717A’s

input reference hysteresis is 6%, and can be changed to

3% by moving the JP1 jumper to the 30mV position.

The controller’s “break-before-make” switching method

prevents cross conduction between input channels and

reverse current from the output capacitor into the selected

input supply.

Each channel’s control circuit of the LTC4417 has a REV

comparator, which monitors the connecting input supply

and output load voltage.The REV comparator delays the

connection until the output voltage droops 120mV below

the input voltage. This prevents reverse current.

TheLTC4417has two common control pins:EN andSHDN.

Pulling the EN pin below 1V turns off all external back-to-

back P-channel MOSFETs.When this pin is driven above

1V, the highest priority valid channel is connected to the

load. All these actions are provided without resetting the

256ms OV/UV timers.

Pulling the SHDN pin below 0.8V turns off all external

back-to-back P-channel MOSFETs,placing the controller

in a low current state and resetting the 256ms timers

used to validate input rail voltages.It requires at least

256ms to validate each rail voltage after the SHDN pin

signal goes high.

The LTC4417 features two different driving modes for the

P-channel MOSFET gates.

One mode is provided by the internal soft-start circuitry,

which limits output voltage slew rate to no more than

5V/ms.Asthehighestoutput voltageslewrate,usually,can

impose the highest requirements for circuit components,

5V/ms should be taken into account as a worst case for

component selection.

The soft-start circuitry is enabled each time under the

following conditions:

• If the LTC4417 is first powered on, or

• If SHDN is forced low, or

• If VOUT falls below ~0.7V

Soft-start is disabled when:

• any channel turns off,including the channel that is soft

starting.

• 32ms validation delay time has elapsed during the soft-

start interval.

operating principles

The other driving mode of the P-channel MOSFETs is used

inthevoltageswitching operation,when the higher priority

rail replaces the rail losing validity.The gate driver oper-

ates with a fixed current,which is defined by the external

component parameters RSand CSshown in Figure 1.

The LTC4417 circuit designer should select the value of

RSand CSbased on the MOSFET parameters,power rail

source characteristics,acceptable output voltage droop

during transient, and the value of load capacitance.

The valid input range for any supply is controlled by the

OV and UV comparators with resistive dividers (R4-R13).

See the LTC4417 data sheet for design equations to select

resistors to match a particular requirement.

DualMOSFETs,Q1-Q3,maybe replaced with singledevices

Q4-Q9 by simply removing Q1-Q3. Pads for Q4-Q9 are

located on the bottom side of the board.

The requirement for AVI may be eliminated by removing

jumpers JP2and JP3, and removing resistor R19. This

modification leaves the LEDs unpowered and the inputs

of U2and U3clamp the VALID pins at 0.7V, but otherwise

leaves the LTC4417 operating autonomously.

The following design considerations and equations dem-

onstrate the interrelation of the main component values

and transient parameters in the rail transitions,when the

output voltage exceeds 0.7V. The variables CSand RS

used in the design equations correspond to the following

board components:

• C20, R23 for V1 (+12V channel)

• C21, R26 for V2 (+5.0V channel)

• C22, R28 for V3 (+8.0V channel)

Tohavedominantinfluenceonthetransienttime CSshould

be at least ten times larger than the P-channel MOSFET’s

reverse transfer capacitance (Miller). In this design,for

all rails, CS(C20, C21,and C22) equals 47nF.

The slew rate of the output voltage can be expressed as

a function of CS:

where:

• VSINK is the LTC4417 parameter rated in the data sheet

as ∆VG(SINK) = 4.5V-6V.

• VTHRES is the P-channel gate threshold voltage,which

is between –1.5V and –3.5V for the Si7905DN installed

on the board.

• RS= 249Ω and CS= 47nF.

Given that dVOUT/dt is based on the transient time require-

ment, it is possible to define RSfrom equation 1.

Theoutputvoltageslewrate,dVOUT/dt,rangeforthecircuit

withthelistedparametersisbetween 85V/msand385V/ms.

During the transition of rails,the load can be disconnected

from any rail for a time:

TDISCON = tG(SWITCHOVER) + tpVALID(OFF) + tGATE_THRES

Twofirst summands of theTDISCON arerated intheLTC4417

data sheet as:

tG(SWITCHOVER) = (0.3 to 3)µs

tpVALID(OFF) = (5 to 13)µs

dc1717afa

The second summand,tpVALID(OFF),should be taken into

account if the associated LTC4417 input does not have

any bypass capacitor and the rail can be disconnected

from the input instantly.

The third one must be calculated as:

As shown in the equation (3), the use of external slew rate

control will add additional delay to the total switchover

time. Unfortunately,the actual components cannot be

chosen until the load capacitance is known.This circular

issue can only be resolved through an iterative process.

Theprocess starts by calculating the CLOAD(MIN),assuming

thattGATE_THRES =10μs.For clarity this valuewill be labeled

CLOAD(INIT).Using the calculated CLOAD(INIT),calculate RS

from the expression of the TDISCON.To ensure the newly

calculated RSbased on CLOAD(INIT) is sufficient,calculate

CLOAD with the calculated RS.

If CLOAD(INIT) (the initial calculated CLOAD)is higher than

the newly calculated CLOAD then the process is completed.

If the CLOAD(INIT) is lower than the newly calculated CLOAD,

calculateRSusing the highervalueand repeat thisprocess.

Quick start proceDure

Refer to the Figure 3for proper measurement equipment

setup and follow the procedure below:

Initially, the LTC4417 should be disabled by:

• placing the jumper JP2 (EN) header in the OFF position,

and

• placing the jumper JP3 (SHDN)header in the OFF

position

Connecting the auxiliary power source (6V to 24V) to

the DC1717A (AVI and GND turrets)lights the green LED

(LDO-D12) indicating the presence of auxiliary +5V supply

for powering logic.

With power off,connect three power supplies with output

voltages of 12V, 5V, and 8V to corresponding DC1717A

turrets or banana jacks V1(+12V), V2(+5V), V3(+8V),

and GND.

Connect 6Ω load resistor (30W) to the DC1717A output

turret or banana jack (VOUT). Do not use an electronic

load in constant current mode.

Turn on three power supplies.No additional LEDs should

light.

Change the jumper JP3 (SHDN)header position from

OFF to ON.Three LEDs (VALID1, VALID2,and VALID3)

validating the input rail voltages should light.

Placing the jumper JP2 (EN) in the ON position turns on

the LTC4417 powering the load with 12V (2.0A). In an

initial power up the LTC4417 uses a fixed slew rate for the

output voltage, which should be not larger than 5V/ms.

Theprioritizingfunctionisdemonstrated by simply turning

off one or two of the V1, V2and V3supplies.The output

will be powered from the remaining supply of the high-

est priority.V1, V2and V3may be adjusted up and down

beyond ±20% to invalidate a given input.
