MIC2596/2597
Dual Channel Negative Voltage Hot Swap Controllers
Final Information
General Description
The MIC2596 and MIC2597 are dual channel negative volt-
age hot swap controllers designed to facilitate safe PC board
insertion into and removal from live backplanes. To minimize
external components, each channel of the MIC2596/MIC2597
has an integrated high voltage power MOSFET. Built-in
current sensing in each channel provides inrush current
limiting, by regulating the channel’s output current to a user-
settable maximum. Current sensing also provides program-
mable overcurrent and open-load detection. A channel will
be turned off if it experiences overload or no-load conditions
lasting longer than programmable intervals. Foldback cur-
rent limiting holds power dissipation of the internal MOSFETs
at safe levels during overloads, and very fast shutdown
response to faults ensures protection for both system power
supplies and the load. The MIC2596 will automatically
attempt to restart into an overcurrent fault until the fault is
cleared, while the MIC2597 will latch the output in the off state
until it is reset by external action. A logic-compatible signal
is provided on each channel to indicate overcurrent or under-
current fault conditions.

Pin Function
Fault Status Output, Active-low - Asserted when the circuit breaker trips
upon overcurrent, open-load or thermal shutdown conditions.
Enable Input - Active-high (MIC259x-1) or active-low (MIC259x-2). When
asserted ON will initiate a start cycle by activating the GATE output. Tog-
gling ONx will also reset the circuit breaker in the MIC2597.
Current Limit Response Timer. A capacitor connected to this pin defines the
period of time t
FLT
in which an overcurrent event must last to signal a fault
condition and turn the output off.
Negative Supply Voltage Input.
Current Limit Set. The current limit threshold is set by connecting a resistor
between this pin and V
EE
. When the current limit threshold of a channel is
exceeded for t
FLT
the circuit breaker for that channel is tripped and its
respective output is immediately shut off.
Switch Outputs. Connect to load.
Positive Supply Input. Normally connected as the power ground reference in
negative supply (–48V) systems. V
DDA
is the IC’s “analog ground,” used for
internal biasing relative to –V
EE
.
FAULT# Clamp Voltage. A small bias current into this pin (usually supplied
by the controlling logic’s supply voltage) powers internal circuitry which
establishes the active low voltage of the FAULT# signals. In normal circuit
configurations, the low-level output voltage will be clamped to V
DDL
.
Open-Load Detect Timer - When the load current falls below 8% of full scale
current limit the capacitor connected to C
OL1
/C
OL2
begins to change. When
the voltage across C
OL1
/C
OL2
rises above 1.32V the output is immediately
shut off. When ONx is deasserted or when the load current is above 15% of
full scale current limit then this pin is held to V
EE
. Tying this pin to V
EE
will
disable this function.
Noise filtering capacitors for the gates of the main output MOSFETs.
Typically in the range of 1000pF ~ 4700pF.
V
DDL
provides the ground reference for the logic-compatible FAULT# and
ON signals, while accommodating
±8
volts of ground differential between the
controlling logic and the power ground (V
DDA
) of the MIC2596/2597. If no
differential voltage capability is required between V
DDA
and V
DDL
, these two
pins should be tied together at the part.
No Connect.
