LATCH BLOCK

A current limit latch circuit determines whether, follow-

ing the timeout period resulting from an over-current

condition, the external FET should be latched-off until

reactivated by an external signal, or be allowed to

restart automatically following the timer cycle.

If the RESTART

input is low, the part will restart and the

gate drive to the external MOSFET will be restored

automatically. If the RESTART

pin is high, a current

limit event will turn the FET off after the programmed

delay and maintain an off condition until the ENABLE

pin or RESTART

pin is pulled low momentarily.

6.8.7

GATE DRIVE BLOCK

The GATE drive block sources a current equal to the

voltage at CLFB divided by 1 k& to the gate of the

external MOSFET. So the current sourced from the

GATE pin is determined by the V

DS

of the external FET.

This current, and the external capacitors around the

FET, control the slew rate of the drain of the external

FET, limiting the current that would otherwise have to

be diverted from other boards on the backplane. In the

event of a problem (Overvoltage, Undervoltage or cur-

rent limit), the gate of the external FET is pulled down

with 60 mA. During normal operation, the GATE pin

ramps up to about 12V, sending the external FET

deeply into the triode region. If the drain current

becomes excessive while the drain-to-source voltage

is high, the inverting input of the op amp is driven to the

CLFB voltage by the current-limiting block, causing a

reduction in the drive to the external FET to reduce the

current through it. This foldback current-limit remains

active until the voltage on C

TIMER

reaches V

REFIN

/2,

after which the GATE output pin is pulled to V

NEG

for

the duration of the timeout period, or until ENABLE is

cycled low momentarily.

For applications in which it is undesirable to have the

drain current track the V

DS

of the external pass FET in

current limit, the user can tie the V

FB

pin to the V

REF

or

V

NEG

pin. This will make the MCP18480 try to force the

drain current to 12 mV/R

SENSE

or 50 mV/R

SENSE

,

respectively, until the TIMER block times out. If fold-

back current-limiting is not desired at all, set the divider

associated with the CL pin to detect the desired current

in order to shut off the GATE immediately.

A voltage on the GATE pin higher than about 8V is one

condition for the PWRGOOD pin to be asserted. Any

fault condition that causes the GATE pin voltage to be

pulled to V

NEG

deasserts the PWRGOOD pin. On

startup, a NMOS transistor with a resistor pulling its

gate up holds the GATE pin down until the MCP18480

is properly biased.

6.8.8

BIAS BLOCK

The internal voltage generation or bias block generates

the biasing currents for all internal blocks. It also pro-

vides a 2.5V reference voltage that is brought out to the

V

REFOUT

pin. This output pin is usually fed back into the

V

REFIN

pin. However, an externally-generated 2.5V

reference voltage may be directly connected to the

V

REFIN

pin, while leaving the V

REFOUT

pin uncon-

nected. A V

REFIN

/2 voltage is generated within the bias

block, which is used as reference in the other blocks.

A internal shunt regulator limits the internal circuitry to

12V. An external current-limiting resistor in series with

V

POS

absorbs the excess voltage. The resulting regu-

lated 12V source is used in the gate drive block and

PWRGOOD output circuit.

The 12V source is also stepped-down to generate a 5V

regulated source. Most of the other circuitry and blocks

operate with the internally-generated 5V.

POWER GOOD BLOCK

The power good block monitors the state of the OV

active, the UV active, the current limit circuitry, and out-

put of the FET good block to generate the PWRGOOD

output signal.
