  • Page 4 (EVM). This EVM can be used to learn about the TPS2398 and TPS2399 hot swap controller integrated circuits (ICs) from Texas Instruments (TI). The TPS2398 and TPS2399 are negative voltage hot swap controllers intended for use in systems needing to hot swap telecom distribution-level voltages.
  • Page 5 SLUU172 − October 2003 Description The TPS2398 and TPS2399 simple −48-V hot swap controllers are integrated solutions optimized for use in nominal −48-V systems. They are used in conjunction with an external N-channel MOSFET and sense resistor to enable hot swap, the insertion and removal of plug-in cards or modules in powered systems.

  • Page 9 SLUU172 − October 2003 −48-V Hot Swap EVM Operating Specifications The −48−V hot swap EVM is intended to allow some degree of user reconfiguration. This allows designers to set up the circuit to better represent the characteristics of their target application. Potential modifications include changing the current limit threshold, the inrush limiting, the fault timing, and load characteristics.
  • Page 10 SLUU172 − October 2003 Verifying the EVM Operation The following procedure steps may be used to verify functional operation of the EVM after receipt. 3.2.1 Equipment Setup 1. On the EVM board, place the POWER switch in the OFF position, and verify that the ENABLE switch is in the OFF position.
  • Page 11 SLUU172 − October 2003 3.2.2 Functional Test 1. Turn on the power supply. On the EVM, place the POWER switch in the ON position. Verify the power good LED (D1) is OFF. Verify the DVM reading is 0 ±100 mV. 2.
  • Page 12 SLUU172 − October 2003 Using the Evaluation Module to Evaluate the TPS2398/99 Procedures similar to the steps of Section 3.2.2 for functional test of the EVM can also be used to continue evaluation of the TPS2398 and TPS2399 hot swap controllers. Additional details about the EVM features are provided in this section.
  • Page 13 SLUU172 − October 2003 Changing the Current Limit Threshold During power-up of a plug-in card, the TPS2398 and TPS2399 limit the peak inrush current drawn by the discharged bulk capacitance. The LCA senses load current as the drop across an external sense resistor.
  • Page 14 SLUU172 − October 2003 To observe the controller response to a load that does not charge up as expected (a shorted or otherwise excessive load), set switches SW1−1, SW1−2, and SW1−3 to the ON position. This greatly reduces the inrush (load charging) current slew rate at turn-on, with a corresponding increase in the amount of time needed to successfully charge the intended load.
  • Page 15 SLUU172 − October 2003 If the target application requires fault timing other than that provided by the default EVM setup, a new value of timing capacitor can be calculated from equation (3). When selecting from the readily available capacitor values for the result of equation (3), default to a slightly larger, rather than smaller, capacitor.
