DATASHEET
ISL6115A
12V Power Distribution Controllers
This fully featured hot swap power controller targets
+12V applications. The ISL6115A with its integrated
charge pump has a higher (6.5V vs 5V) gate drive
than its sister part the ISL6115 making this part an
immediate efficiency improvement replacement.
This IC features programmable overcurrent (OC)
detection, current regulation (CR) with time delay to
latch-off and soft-start.
The current regulation level is set by 2 external
resistors; R
ISET
sets the CR Vth and the other is a
low ohmic sense resistor across, which the CR Vth is
developed. The CR duration is set by an external
capacitor on the CTIM pin, which is charged with a
20µA current once the CR Vth level is reached. The
IC then quickly pulls down the GATE output latching
off the pass FET.

12V chip supply. This can be either connected directly to the +12V rail supplying the
switched load voltage or to a dedicated V
SS
+12V supply.
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor determines the time delay
between an overcurrent event and chip output shutdown (current limit time-out). The
duration of current limit time-out is equal to 93k x C
TIM
.
Indicates that the voltage on the ISEN pin is satisfactory. PGOOD is driven by an open
drain N-Channel MOSFET and is pulled low when the output voltage (VISEN) is less than
the UV level for the particular IC.
PWRON is used to control and reset the chip. The chip is enabled when PWRON pin is
driven high to a maximum of 5V or is left open. Do not drive this input >5V. After a
current limit time-out, the chip is reset by a low level signal applied to this pin. This input
has 20µA pull-up capability.
DESCRIPTION
Connect to the low side of the current sense resistor through the current limiting set resistor.
This pin functions as the current limit programming pin.
Connect to the more positive end of sense resistor to measure the voltage drop across this
resistor.
Connect to the gate of the external N-Channel MOSFET. A capacitor from this node to
ground sets the turn-on ramp. At turn-on this capacitor will be charged to V

by an 14µA current source.

Description and Operation
The ISL6115A is targeted for +12V single power supply
distribution control for generic hot swap switching
applications.
This ICs features a highly accurate programmable
current regulation (CR) level with programmable time
delay to latch-off, and programmable soft-start
turn-on ramp all set with a minimum of external
passive components. It also includes severe OC
protection that immediately shuts down the MOSFET
switch should a rapid load current transient such as
with a dead short cause the CR Vth to exceed the
programmed level by 150mV. Additionally, it has an
UV indicator and an OC latch indicator. The
functionality of the PGOOD feature is enabled once
the IC is biased, monitoring and reporting any UV
condition on the ISEN pin.
Upon initial power-up, the IC can either isolate the
voltage supply from the load by holding the external
N-Channel MOSFET switch off or apply the supply rail
voltage directly to the load for true hot swap capability.
The PWRON pin must be pulled low for the device to
isolate the power supply from the load by holding the
external N-Channel MOSFET off. With the PWRON pin
held high or floating the IC will be in true hot swap
mode. In both cases the IC turns on in a soft-start
mode protecting the supply rail from sudden inrush
current.
At turn-on, the external gate capacitor of the
N-Channel MOSFET is charged with a 11µA current
source resulting in a programmable ramp (soft-start
turn-on). The internal ISL6115A charge pump supplies
the gate drive for the 12V supply switch driving that
gate to ~V
DD
+6.5V. Load current passes through the
external current sense resistor. When the voltage
across the sense resistor exceeds the user
programmed CR voltage threshold value, (see Table 1
for R
ISET
programming resistor value and resulting
nominal current regulation threshold voltage, V
CR
)
the controller enters its current regulation mode. At
this time, the time-out capacitor, on CTIM pin is
charged with a 20µA current source and the controller
enters the current limit time to latch-off period. The
length of the current limit time to latch-off duration is
set by the value of a single external capacitor (see
Table 2) for C
TIM
capacitor value and resulting
nominal current limited time-out to latch-off duration
placed from the CTIM pin (pin 6) to ground. The
programmed current level is held until either the OC
event passes or the time-out period expires. If the
former is the case then the N-Channel MOSFET is fully
enhanced and the C
TIM
capacitor is discharged. Once
C
TIM
charges to ~1.8V signaling that the time-out
period has expired, an internal latch is set whereby
the FET gate is quickly pulled to 0V turning off the
N-Channel MOSFET switch, isolating the faulty load.

This IC responds to a severe overcurrent load (defined
as a voltage across the sense resistor >150mV over
the OC Vth set point) by immediately driving the
N-Channel MOSFET gate to 0V in about 10µs. The gate
voltage is then slowly ramped up turning on the
N-Channel MOSFET to the programmed current
regulation level; this is the start of the time-out period.
