19-3668; Rev 5; 1/09 KIT ATION EVALU E L B A AVAIL Overvoltage Protection Switch/Limiter Controllers Operate Up to 72V The MAX6397/MAX6398 are small, high-voltage overvoltage protection circuits. These devices disconnect the output load or limit the output voltage during an input overvoltage condition. These devices are ideal for applications that must survive high-voltage transients such as those found in automotive and industrial applications. The MAX6397/MAX6398 monitor the input or output voltages and control an external n-channel MOSFET to isolate or limit the load from overvoltage transient energy. When the monitored input voltage is below the useradjustable overvoltage threshold, the external n-channel MOSFET is turned on by the GATE output. In this mode, the internal charge pump fully enhances the n-channel MOSFET with a 10V gate-to-source voltage. When the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold, the protection can disconnect the load from the input by quickly forcing the GATE output low. In some applications, disconnecting the output from the load is not desirable. In these cases, the protection circuit can be configured to act as a voltage limiter where the GATE output sawtooths to limit the voltage to the load. The MAX6397 also offers an always-on linear regulator that is capable of delivering up to 100mA of output current. This high-voltage linear regulator consumes only 37A of quiescent current. The regulator is offered with output options of 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V. An open-drain, power-good output (POK) asserts when the regulator output falls below 92.5% or 87.5% of its nominal voltage. The MAX6397/MAX6398 include internal thermal-shutdown protection, disabling the external MOSFET and linear regulator if the chip reaches overtemperature conditions. The devices operate over a wide 5.5V to 72V supply voltage range, are available in small TDFN packages, and are fully specified from -40C to +125C.

Detailed Description The MAX6397/MAX6398 are ultra-small, low-current, high-voltage protection circuits for automotive applications that must survive load dump and high-voltage transient conditions. These devices monitor the input/ output voltages and control an external n-channel MOSFET to isolate the load or to regulate the output voltage from overvoltage transient energy. The controller allows system designers to size the external MOSFET to their load current and board size. The MAX6397/MAX6398 drive the MOSFET's gate high when the monitored input voltage is below the adjustable overvoltage threshold. An internal charge-pump circuit provides a 5V to 10V gate-to-source drive (see the Typical Operating Characteristics) to ensure low input-toload voltage drops in normal operating modes. When the input voltage rises above the user-adjusted overvoltage threshold, GATE pulls to OUT, turning off the MOSFET. The MAX6397/MAX6398 are configurable to operate as overvoltage protection switches or as closed-looped voltage limiters. In overvoltage protection switch mode, the input voltage is monitored. When an overvoltage condition occurs at IN, GATE pulls low, disconnecting the load from the power source, and then slowly enhances upon removal of the overvoltage condition. In overvoltage limit mode, the output voltage is monitored and the MAX6397/MAX6398 regulate the source of the external MOSFET at the adjusted overvoltage threshold, allowing devices within the system to continue operating during an overvoltage condition. The MAX6397/MAX6398 undervoltage lockout (UVLO) function disables the devices as long as the input remains below the 5V (typ) UVLO turn-on threshold. The MAX6397/MAX6398 have an active-low SHDN input to turn off the external MOSFET, disconnecting the load and reducing power consumption. After power is applied and SHDN is driven above its logic-high voltage, there is a 100s delay before GATE enhancement commences. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX6397/MAX6398 Pin Description Overvoltage Protection Switch/Limiter Controllers Operate Up to 72V MAX6397/MAX6398 Linear Regulator (MAX6397 Only) The MAX6397 is available with 5.0V, 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V factory-set output voltages. Each regulator sources up to 100mA and includes a current limit of 230mA. The linear regulator operates in an always-on condition regardless of the SHDN logic. For fully specified operation, VIN must be greater than 6.5V for the MAX6397L/M (5V regulator output). The actual output current may be limited by the operating condition and package power dissipation. IN THERMAL PROTECTION UVLO 10V CHARGE PUMP 5V Power-OK Output GATE SET OUT 1.23V SHDN LINEAR REGULATOR MAX6397 MAX6398 REG POK VPOK_TH GND MAX6397 ONLY Figure 1. Functional Diagram The MAX6397 integrates a high-input-voltage, low-quiescent-current linear regulator in addition to an overvoltage protector circuit. The linear regulator remains enabled at all times to power low-current "always-on" applications (independent of the state of the external MOSFET). The regulator is offered with several standard output voltage options (5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V). An open-drain power-good output notifies the system if the regulator output falls to 92.5% or 87.5% of its nominal voltage. The MAX6397's REG output operates independently of the SHDN logic input. The MAX6397/MAX6398 include internal thermal-shutdown protection, disabling the external MOSFET and linear regulator if the chip reaches overtemperature conditions. 8 POK is an open-drain output that goes low when REG falls to 92.5% or 87.5% (see the Selector Guide) of its nominal output voltage. To obtain a logic-level output, connect a pullup resistor from POK to REG or another system voltage. Use a resistor in the 100k range to minimize current consumption. POK provides a valid logic-output level down to VIN = 1.5V. GATE Voltage The MAX6397/MAX6398 use a high-efficiency charge pump to generate the GATE voltage. Upon VIN exceeding the 5V (typ) UVLO threshold, GATE enhances 10V above IN (for VIN 14V) with a 75A pullup current. An overvoltage condition occurs when the voltage at SET pulls above its 1.215V threshold. When the threshold is crossed, GATE falls to OUT within 100ns with a 100mA (typ) pulldown current. The MAX6397/MAX6398 include an internal clamp to OUT that ensures GATE is limited to 18V (max) above OUT to prevent gate-to-source damage to the external FET. The GATE cycle during overvoltage limit and overvoltage switch modes are quite similar but have distinct characteristics. In overvoltage switch mode (Figure 2a), GATE is enhanced to VIN + 10V while the monitored IN voltage remains below the overvoltage fault threshold (SET < 1.215V). When an overvoltage fault occurs (SET 1.215V), GATE is pulled one diode below OUT, turning off the external FET and disconnecting the load from the input. GATE remains low (FET off) as long as VIN is above the overvoltage fault threshold. As VIN falls back below the overvoltage fault threshold (-5% hysteresis) GATE is again enhanced to VIN + 10V. In overvoltage limit mode (Figure 2b), GATE is enhanced to VIN + 10V. While the monitored OUT voltage remains below the overvoltage fault threshold (SET < 1.215V). When an overvoltage fault occurs (SET 1.215V), GATE is pulled low one diode drop below OUT until OUT drops 5% below the overvoltage fault threshold. GATE is then turned back on until OUT again reaches the overvoltage fault threshold and GATE is again turned off. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Overvoltage Protection Switch/Limiter Controllers Operate Up to 72V GATE VBATT IN OUT R1 VGATE 10V/div VOUT 10V/div MAX6397 SET MAX6398 R2 GND 10ms/div Figure 2a.

Overvoltage Switch Protection Configuration Overvoltage Monitoring When operating in overvoltage mode, the MAX6397/ MAX6398 feedback path (Figure 3) consists of IN, SET's internal comparator, the internal gate charge pump, and the external n-channel MOSFET resulting in a switch-on/off function. When the programmed overvoltage threshold is tripped, the internal fast comparator turns off the external MOSFET, pulling GATE to OUT within tOV and disconnecting the power source from the load. When IN decreases below the adjusted overvoltage threshold, the MAX6397/MAX6398 slowly enhance GATE above OUT, reconnecting the load to the power source. Overvoltage Limiter 4ms/div Figure 2b. MAX6397/MAX6398 GATE Waveform During Overvoltage Limit Mode GATE cycles on-off-on-off-on in a sawtooth waveform until OUT remains below the overvoltage fault threshold and GATE remains constantly on (VIN + 10V). The overvoltage limiter's sawtooth GATE output operates the MOSFET in a switched-linear mode while the input voltage remains above the overvoltage fault threshold. The sawtooth frequency depends on the load capacitance, load current, and MOSFET turn-on time (GATE charge current and GATE capacitance). GATE goes high when the following startup conditions are met: VIN is above the UVLO threshold, SHDN is high, an overvoltage fault is not present and the device is not in thermal shutdown. When operating in overvoltage limiter mode, the MAX6397/MAX6398 feedback path (Figure 4) consists of OUT, SET's internal comparator, the internal gate charge pump and the external n-channel MOSFET, which results in the external MOSFET operating as a voltage regulator. During normal operation, GATE is enhanced 10V above OUT. The external MOSFET source voltage is monitored through a resistor-divider between OUT and SET. When OUT rises above the adjusted overvoltage threshold, an internal comparator sinks the charge-pump current, discharging the external GATE, regulating OUT at the set overvoltage threshold. OUT remains active during the overvoltage transients and the MOSFET continues to conduct during the overvoltage event, operating in switchedlinear mode. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX6397/MAX6398 VIN 10V/div MAX6397/MAX6398 Overvoltage Protection Switch/Limiter Controllers Operate Up to 72V COUT VPEAK GATE VBATT IN OUT R1 MAX6397 MAX6398 SET tRISE > 5ms VBATT GND R2 100ms 200ms 300ms 400ms Figure 4.

Load Dump Voltage Profile As the transient begins decreasing, OUT fall time will depend on the MOSFET's GATE charge, the internal charge-pump current, the output load, and the tank capacitor at OUT. characteristics of the charging system (Figure 5). These transients are capable of destroying semiconductors on the first `fault event.' For fast-rising transients and very large-sized MOSFETs, add an additional external bypass capacitor from GATE to GND to reduce the effect of the fast-rising voltages at IN. The external capacitor acts as a voltage-divider working against the MOSFETs' drain-to-gate capacitance. For a 6000pF Cgd, a 0.1F capacitor at GATE will reduce the impact of the fast-rising VIN input. Caution must be exercised when operating the MAX6397/MAX6398 in voltage-limiting mode for long durations. If the VIN is a DC voltage greater than the MOSFET's maximum gate voltage, the FET will dissipate power continuously. To prevent damage to the external MOSFET, proper heatsinking should be implemented. SET provides an accurate means to set the overvoltage level for the MAX6397/MAX6398. Use a resistor-divider to set the desired overvoltage condition (Figure 6). SET has a rising 1.215V threshold with a 5% falling hysteresis. Applications Information Load Dump Most automotive applications run off a multicell, 12V lead-acid battery with a nominal voltage that swings between 9V and 16V (depending on load current, charging status, temperature, battery age, etc.). The battery voltage is distributed throughout the automobile and is locally regulated down to voltages required by the different system modules. Load dump occurs when the alternator is charging the battery and the battery becomes disconnected. Power in the alternator (essentially an inductor) flows into the distributed power system and elevates the voltage seen at each module. The voltage spikes have rise times typically greater than 5ms and decays within several hundred milliseconds but can extend out to 1s or more depending on the 10 Setting Overvoltage Thresholds Begin by selecting the total end-to-end resistance, RTOTAL = R1 + R2. Choose RTOTAL to yield a total current equivalent to a minimum 100 x ISET (SET's input bias current) at the desired overvoltage threshold. For example: With an overvoltage threshold set to 20V: RTOTAL < 20V/(100 x ISET) where ISET is SET's 50nA input bias current. RTOTAL < 4M Use the following formula to calculate R2: R2 = VTH x R TOTAL VOV where VTH is the 1.215V SET rising threshold and VOV is the overvoltage threshold. R2 = 243k, use a 240k standard resistor. RTOTAL = R2 + R1, where R1 = 3.76M. Use a 3.79M standard resistor. A lower value for total resistance dissipates more power but provides slightly better accuracy. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Overvoltage Protection Switch/Limiter Controllers Operate Up to 72V IN MAX6397/MAX6398 GATE IN GATE IN OUT R1 IN R1 MAX6397 MAX6398 SET MAX6397 SET MAX6398 R2 GND OUT R2 GND Figure 6.

Reverse Battery Protection Using a Diode or p-Channel MOSFET Reverse-Battery Protection Use a diode or p-channel MOSFET to protect the MAX6397/MAX6398 during a reverse-battery insertion (Figures 7a, 7b). Low p-channel MOSFET on-resistance of 30m or less yields a forward-voltage drop of only a few millivolts (versus hundreds of millivolts for a diode, Figure 7a) thus improving efficiency. Connecting a positive battery voltage to the drain of Q1 (Figure 7b) produces forward bias in its body diode, which clamps the source voltage one diode drop below the drain voltage. When the source voltage exceeds Q1's threshold voltage, Q1 turns on. Once the FET is on, the battery is fully connected to the system and can deliver power to the device and the load. An incorrectly inserted battery reverse-biases the FET's body diode. The gate remains at the ground potential. The FET remains off and disconnects the reversed battery from the system. The zener diode and resistor combination prevent damage to the p-channel MOSFET during an overvoltage condition. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX6397/MAX6398 Overvoltage Protection Switch/Limiter Controllers Operate Up to 72V VBATT 1k IN GATE CGATE VBATT COUT IN LOAD MAX6397 MAX6398 GATE 60V TVS OUT LOAD MAX6397 MAX6398 GND OUT GND Figure 8. MAX6397/MAX6398 Controlling GATE Inrush Current REG Capacitor Selection for Stability For stable operation over the full temperature range and with load currents up to 100mA, use ceramic capacitor values greater than 4.7F. Large output capacitors help reduce noise, improve load-transient response, and power-supply rejection at REG. Note that some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capacitance and ESR variation with temperature. At lower temperatures, it may be necessary to increase capacitance. Under normal conditions, use a 10F capacitor at IN. Larger input capacitor values and lower ESR provide better supply-noise rejection and line-transient response. Inrush/Slew-Rate Control Inrush current control can be implemented by placing a capacitor at GATE (Figure 8) to slowly ramp up the GATE, thus limiting the inrush current and controlling GATE's slew rate during initial turn-on. The inrush current can be approximated using the following formula: IINRUSH = 12 Figure 9. Protecting the MAX6397/MAX6398 Input from HighVoltage Transients where IGATE is GATE's 75A sourcing current, ILOAD is the load current at startup, and C OUT is the output capacitor. Input Transients Clamping When the external MOSFET is turned off during an overvoltage occurrence, stray inductance in the power path may cause voltage ringing exceeding the MAX6397/ MAX6398 absolute maximum input (IN) supply rating. The following techniques are recommended to reduce the effect of transients: * Minimize stray inductance in the power path using wide traces, and minimize loop area including the power traces and the return ground path. * Add a zener diode or transient voltage suppressor (TVS) rated below the IN absolute maximum rating (Figure 9). Add a resistor in series with IN to limit transient current going into the input for the MAX6398 only.

Power Dissipated Across MOSFETs During an Overvoltage Fault (Overvoltage Limiter Mode) MOSFET Selection Select external MOSFETs according to the application current level. The MOSFET's on-resistance (RDS(ON)) should be chosen low enough to have minimum voltage drop at full load to limit the MOSFET power dissipation. Determine the device power rating to accommodate an overvoltage fault when operating the MAX6397/ MAX6398 in overvoltage limit mode. During normal operation, the external MOSFETs dissipate little power. The power dissipated in normal operation is: PQ1 = ILOAD2 x RDS(ON). The most power dissipation will occur during a prolonged overvoltage event when operating the MAX6397/MAX6398 in voltage limiter mode, resulting in high power dissipated in Q1 (Figure 10) where the power dissipated across Q1 is: PQ1 = VQ1 x ILOAD where VQ1 is the voltage across the MOSFET's drain and source. Thermal Shutdown The MAX6397/MAX6398 thermal-shutdown feature shuts off the linear regulator output, REG, and GATE if it exceeds the maximum allowable thermal dissipation. Thermal shutdown also monitors the PC board temperature of the external nFET when the devices sit on the same thermal island. Good thermal contact between the MAX6397/MAX6398 and the external nFET is essential for the thermal-shutdown feature to operate effectively. Place the nFET as close as possible to OUT. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +150C, the thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic, turning off REG's internal pass transistor and the GATE output, allowing the device to cool. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor and GATE on again after the IC's junction temperature cools by 20C. Thermal-overload protection is designed to protect the MAX6397/ MAX6398 and the external MOSFET in the event of current-limit fault conditions. For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction-temperature rating of TJ = +150C. Thermal Shutdown Overvoltage Limiter Mode When operating the MAX6397/MAX6398 in overvoltage limit mode for a prolonged period of time, a thermal shutdown is possible due to device self-heating. The thermal shutdown is dependent on a number of different factors: * The device's ambient temperature (TA) * The output capacitor (COUT) * The output load current (IOUT) * The overvoltage threshold limit (VOV) * The overvoltage waveform period (tOVP) * The power dissipated across the package (PDISS) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX6397/MAX6398 VMAX 180 JUNCTION TEMPERATURE (C) MAX6397/MAX6398 Overvoltage Protection Switch/Limiter Controllers Operate Up to 72V IOUT = 0 TA = +125C 170 During t2, COUT loses charge through the output load. The voltage across COUT (V2) decreases until the MOSFET reaches its V GS(TH) threshold and can be approximated using the following formula: THERMAL SHUTDOWN CGATE = 0 160 V2 = IOUT 150 CGATE = 10nF 140 CGATE = InF 130 CGATE = ADDITIONAL CAPACITANCE FROM GATE TO GND 120 1 10 100 1000 OUTPUT CAPACITANCE (F) Figure 12. Junction Temperature vs. COUT When OUT exceeds the adjusted overvoltage threshold, an internal GATE pulldown current is enabled until OUT drops by 5%. The capacitance at OUT is discharged by the internal current sink and the external OUT load current. The discharge time (t1) is approximately: t1 = COUT VOV x 0.05 IOUT + IGATEPD where VOV is the adjusted overvoltage threshold, IOUT is the external load current and IGATEPD is the GATE's internal 100mA (typ) pulldown current. When OUT falls 5% below the overvoltage threshold point, the internal current sink is disabled and the MAX6397/MAX6398's internal charge pump begins recharging the external GATE voltage. The OUT voltage continues to drop due to the external OUT load current until the MOSFET gate is recharged. The time needed to recharge GATE and re-enhance the external nFET is approximately: t2 = CISS VGS( TH) + VF IGATE where CISS is the MOSFET's input capacitance, VGS(TH) is the MOSFET's gate-to-source threshold voltage, VF is the internal clamp diode forward voltage (VF = 1.5V typ), and IGATE is the MAX6397/MAX6398 charge-pump current (75A typ). t2 COUT Once the MOSFET VGS(TH) is obtained, the slope of the output voltage rise is determined by the MOSFET QG charge through the internal charge pump with respect to the drain potential. The time for the OUT voltage to rise again to the overvoltage threshold can be approximated using the following formula: t 3 QGD VOUT x VGS _ QGD IGATE where VOUT = ( VOV x 0.05) + V2. The total period of the overvoltage waveform can be summed up as follows: tOVP = t1 + t2 + t3 The MAX6397/MAX6398 dissipate the most power during an overvoltage event when IOUT = 0 (COUT is discharged only by the internal current sink). The maximum power dissipation can be approximated using the following equation: PDISS = VOV x 0.975 x IGATEPD x t1 t OVP The die temperature (T J) increase is related to JC (8.3C/W and 8.5C/W for the MAX6397 and MAX6398, respectively) of the package when mounted correctly with a strong thermal contact to the circuit board. The MAX6397/MAX6398 thermal shutdown is governed by the equation: TJ = TA + PDISS x (JC + CA) < 170C (typical thermal-shutdown temperature) For the MAX6397, the power dissipation of the internal linear regulator must be added to the overvoltage protection circuit power dissipation to calculate the die temperature. The linear regulator power dissipation is calculated using the following equation: PREG = (VIN - VREG) (IREG) For example, using an IRFR3410 100V n-channel MOSFET, Figure 12 illustrates the junction temperature vs. output capacitor with I OUT = 0, T A = +125C, VOV < 16V,VF = 1.5V, IGATE = 75mA, and IGATEPD = 100mA. Figure 12 shows the relationship between output capacitance versus die temperature for the conditions listed above. 14 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Overvoltage Protection Switch/Limiter Controllers Operate Up to 72V 2.0 The MAX6397 high input voltage (+72V max) provides up to 100mA of output current at REG. Package power dissipation limits the amount of output current available for a given input/output voltage and ambient temperature. Figure 13 depicts the maximum power dissipation curve for the MAX6397. The graph assumes that the exposed metal pad of the MAX6397 package is soldered to 1in2 of PC board copper. Use Figure 11 to determine the allowable package dissipation for a given ambient temperature. Alternately, use the following formula to calculate the allowable package dissipation: PDISS = 1.455W for TA +70C Maximum power dissipation = 1.455 - 0.0182 (TA - 70C) for +70C TA +125C where, 0.0182 W/C is the MAX6397 package thermal derating. 1.455W 1.8 1.6 DERATE 18.2mW/C ABOVE +70C PD (W) 1.4 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 0 20 40 60 80 After determining the allowable package dissipation, calculate the maximum output current using the following formula: 100 120 140 160 TEMPERATURE (C) Figure 13.
