APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
LTC4221
Timer Function
The TIMER pin controls the initial cycle and the channel
start-up cycles with an external capacitor, C
are two comparator thresholds: V
V
current, a 20μA pull-up current and a N-channel MOSFET
pull-down.
Initial Timing Cycle
When the card is being inserted into the bus connector, the
long pins mate first which brings up the supplies at time
point 1 of Figure 13. The LTC4221 is in reset mode as the
ON1 pin is low. Both GATE pins and the TIMER pin are
pulled low. At time point 2, the short pin makes contact and
both ON pins are pulled high. At this instant, a start-up
check requires that both supply voltages be above UVLO,
at least one ON pin be above 0.851V, both GATE pins
< 0.4V and TIMER < 0.4V. When these four conditions are
fulfilled, the initial cycle begins and the TIMER pin is pulled
high with 1.9μA. At time point 3, the TIMER reaches
V
channel MOSFET pull-down, ending the initial cycle at time
point 4. The initial cycle delay is:

At time point 4, the LTC4221 checks whether the FILTER
pin is <1.24V and FAULT is > 0.851V. If both conditions are
met, a channel start-up cycle commences.
Start-Up Cycle Without Current Limit
During a channel start-up cycle, the TIMER pin ramps up
with a 20μA internal pull-up so the start-up cycle delay is:
At the beginning of the start-up timing cycle (time point 4),
the LTC4221’s electronic circuit breaker is armed and each
channel has an internal 9.5μA current source working with
an internal charge pump to provide the gate drive to its
external pass transistor. At time point 5, GATE1 reaches
the external pass transistor threshold and V
follow the GATE1 ramp-up. If the inrush current is below
current limit, GATE1 ramps at a constant rate of:
where C

components; I

The load bypass capacitance typically dominates C
For a successful channel start-up without current limit,
I
configuration, the V
V
current limit is :
At time point 6, V
ramp-up continues until it reaches a maximum voltage.
This maximum voltage is determined either by the charge
pump or the internal clamp.
