DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1354 is a Positive High Voltage
Hot Sw ap Controller f
eaturing either the LT1641-1,
LT1641-2, LT4256-1, or LT4256-2.
The board f
acilitates measurement of transient condi-
tions, steady state operation w ith dif erent loads, and
f
f conditions. The Controller responds to f condi-
ault
ault
tions such as input undervoltage(UV), output pow er
good (PW RGD) f
ault, and overcurrent and response can
be verif by the output voltage (VOUT) LED state and
ied
PW RGD pin signal.
The LT1641-1 and LT4256-1 latch of , if M OSFET shuts
f
of under overcurrent condition, w hile LT1641-2 and
f
LT4256-2 automatically restart af time-out delay.
ter
The DC1354 contains one Hot Sw ap Controller, pow er
M OSFET, current sense resistor, enable circuit, input
voltage clamp, gate protection circuit, resistive output
voltage divider f f
or eedback signal, and three LEDs to
indicate the presence of input and output voltages and
pow er good condition.

LT1641-1, LT1641-2, LT4256-1, AND LT4256-2
OPERA TING PRINCIPL ES
The LT1641-1, LT1641-2, LT4256-1, and LT4256-2 are
Positive High Voltage Hot Sw ap Controllers that have
absolute maximum supply voltage (V
CC
) 100V and oper-
ating range (9-80) V f LT1641 and (10.8-80) V f
or
or
LT4256. In the DC1354A any controller operates on the
+48V rail. Each board can easily be readj
usted f any
or
rated voltage by replacing the enable circuit (R5, R11),
input voltage clamp (D1), gate protection circuit (R8,
R14, D3, D6), and resistive output voltage divider (R10,
R12). The DC1354A as supplied by the f
actory is assem-
bled w ith the SUM 90N10-8m2p M OSFET in a D2PAK
package and 7mΩ current sense resistor (R1).
Q U ICK STA RT PROCEDU RE
Demonstration circuit DC1354 is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the perf
ormance of the LT1641-1, LT1641-2,
LT4256-1, and LT4256-2. Ref Figure 1 f proper
er
or
measurement equipment setup and f
ollow the procedure
below .
The board test is perf
ormed in several steps by measur-
ing some transient parameters and verif
ying successf
ul
or f
ailed pow er up actions under def
ined conditions. In
all test steps turn on sw itch SW _PS to connect demo
board to the +48V pow er supply, turn on sw itch SW _PS
to activate controller (connecting the ENABLE pin to the
VIN +48V) and turn +48V of f resetting controller af
f or
ter

ault.

Place a scope probe to the VO U T turret, turn on
