3 SENSE Current sense input The voltage across the current sense resistor (RS) is measured from VIN_K to this
pin. If the voltage across RSreaches over-current threshold the load current is limited
and the fault timer activates.
4 VIN_K Positive supply kelvin pin The input voltage is measured on this pin.
5 VIN Positive supply input This pin is the input supply connection for the device.
6 N/C No connection
7 UVLO/EN Under-voltage lockout An external resistor divider from the system input voltage sets the under-voltage
turn-on threshold. An internal 20 µA current source provides hysteresis. The enable
threshold at the pin is nominally 2.48V. This pin can also be used for remote
shutdown control.
8 OVLO Over-voltage lockout An external resistor divider from the system input voltage sets the over-voltage turn-
off threshold. An internal 21 µA current source provides hysteresis. The disable
threshold at the pin is 2.46V.
9 AGND Circuit ground Analog device ground. Connect to GND at the pin.
10 GND Circuit ground
11 SDAI SMBus data input pin Data input pin for SMBus. Connect to SDAO if the application does not require
unidirectional isolation devices.
12 SDAO SMBus data output pin Data output pin for SMBus. Connect to SDAI if the application does not require
unidirectional isolation devices.
13 SCL SMBus clock Clock pin for SMBus.
14 SMBA SMBus alert line Alert pin for SMBus, active low.
15 VREF Internal Reference Internally generated precision reference used for analog to digital conversion.
Connect a 1 µF capacitor on this pin to ground for bypassing.
16 DIODE External diode Connect this to a diode-configured MMBT3904 NPN transistor for temperature
monitoring.
17 VAUX Auxiliary voltage input Auxiliary pin allows voltage telemetry from an external source. Full scale input of
2.97V.
18 ADR2 SMBUS address line 2 Tri- state address line. Should be connected to GND, VDD, or left floating.
19 ADR1 SMBUS address line 1 Tri - state address line. Should be connected to GND, VDD, or left floating.
20 ADR0 SMBUS address line 0 Tri - state address line. Should be connected to GND, VDD, or left floating.
21 VDD Internal sub-regulator output Internally sub-regulated 4.85V bias supply. Connect a 1 µF capacitor on this pin to
ground for bypassing.
22 CL Current limit range Connect this pin to GND or leave floating to set the nominal over-current threshold at
50mV. Connecting CL to VDD will set the over-current threshold to be 26mV.
23 FB Power Good feedback An external resistor divider from the output sets the output voltage at which the PGD
pin switches. The threshold at the pin is nominally 2.46V. An internal 20 µA current
source provides hysteresis.
24 RETRY Fault retry input This pin configures the power up fault retry behavior. When this pin is connected to
GND or left floating, the device will continually try to engage power during a fault. If
the pin is connected to VDD, the device will latch off during a fault.
25 TIMER Timing capacitor An external capacitor connected to this pin sets the insertion time delay, fault timeout
period and restart timing.
26 PWR Power limit set An external resistor connected to this pin, in conjunction with the current sense
resistor (RS), sets the maximum power dissipation allowed in the external series
pass MOSFET.
27 N/C No Connection
28 PGD Power Good indicator An open drain output. This output is high when the voltage at the FB pin is above
VFBTH (nominally 2.46V) and the input supply is within its under-voltage and over-
voltage thresholds. Connect to the output rail (external MOSFET source) or any
other voltage to be monitored.
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.

(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is intended to be functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For specifications and conditions see the
Electrical Characteristics.
(2) The GATE pin voltage is typically 13.6V above VIN when the LM5066 is enabled. Therefore, the Absolute Maximum Rating for VIN
applies only when the LM5066 is disabled, or for a momentary surge to that voltage since the Absolute Maximum Rating for the GATE
pin is also 100V.
(3) The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor into each pin. 2 kV rating for all pins except GATE
which is rated for 1 kV.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The inline protection functionality of the LM5066 is designed to control the in-rush current to the load upon
insertion of a circuit card into a live backplane or other “hot” power source, thereby limiting the voltage sag on the
backplane’s supply voltage, and the dV/dt of the voltage applied to the load. The effects on other circuits in the
system are minimized by preventing possible unintended resets. A controlled shutdown when the circuit card is
removed can also be implemented using the LM5066.
In addition to a programmable current limit, the LM5066 monitors and limits the maximum power dissipation in
the series pass device to maintain operation within the device Safe Operating Area (SOA). Either current limiting
or power limiting for an extended period of time results in the shutdown of the series pass device. In this event,
the LM5066 can latch off or repetitively retry based on the hardware setting of the RETRY pin. Once started, the
number of retries can be set to none, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or infinite. The circuit breaker function quickly switches off the
series pass device upon detection of a severe over-current condition. Programmable under-voltage lockout
(UVLO) and over-voltage lockout (OVLO) circuits shut down the LM5066 when the system input voltage is
outside the desired operating range.
The telemetry capability of the LM5066 provides intelligent monitoring of the input voltage, output voltage, input
current, input power, temperature, and an auxiliary input. The LM5066 also provides a peak capture of the input
power and programmable hardware averaging of the input voltage, current, power, and output voltage. Warning
thresholds which trigger the SMBA pin may be programmed for input and output voltage, current, power and
temperature via the PMBus interface. Additionally, the LM5066 is capable of detecting damage to the external
MOSFET, Q1.
Figure 1. Typical Application Circuit
Power Up Sequence
The VIN operating range of the LM5066 is 10V to 80V, with a transient capability to 100V. Referring to Figure 1
and Figure 2, as the voltage at VIN initially increases, the external N-channel MOSFET (Q1) is held off by an
internal 115 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin. The strong pull-down current at the GATE pin prevents an
inadvertent turn-on as the MOSFET’s gate-to-drain (Miller) capacitance is charged. Additionally, the TIMER pin is
initially held at ground. When the VIN voltage reaches the POR threshold the insertion time begins. During the
insertion time, the capacitor at the TIMER pin (CT) is charged by a 4.8 µA current source, and Q1is held off by a
4.2 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin regardless of the input voltage. The insertion time delay allows ringing

and transients at VIN to settle before Q1is enabled. The insertion time ends when the TIMER pin voltage reaches
3.9V. CTis then quickly discharged by an internal 1.5 mA pull-down current. The GATE pin then switches on Q1
when VIN exceeds the UVLO threshold. If VIN is above the UVLO threshold at the end of the insertion time, Q1
the GATE pin charge pump sources 20 µA to charge the gate capacitance of Q1. The maximum voltage from the
gate to source of the Q1is limited by an internal 16.5V zener diode.
As the voltage at the OUT pin increases, the LM5066 monitors the drain current and power dissipation of
MOSFET Q1. In-rush current limiting and/or power limiting circuits actively control the current delivered to the
load. During the in-rush limiting interval (t2in Figure 2) an internal 75 µA fault timer current source charges CT. If
Q1’s power dissipation and the input current reduce below their respective limiting thresholds before the TIMER
pin reaches 3.9V, the 75 µA current source is switched off, and CTis discharged by the internal 2.5 µA current
sink (t3in Figure 2). The in-rush limiting will no longer engage unless a current-limit condition occurs.
If the TIMER pin voltage reaches 3.9V before in-rush current limiting or power limiting ceases during t2, a fault is
declared and Q1is turned off. See the Fault Timer & Restart section for a complete description of the fault mode.
The LM5066 will assert the SMBA pin after the input voltage has exceeded its POR threshold to indicate that the
volatile memory and device settings are in their default state. The CONFIG_PRESET bit within the
STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC register (80h) indicates default configuration of warning thresholds and device
operation and will remain high until a CLEAR_FAULTS command is received.
Figure 2. Power Up Sequence (Current Limit Only)
Gate Control
A charge pump provides the voltage at the GATE pin to enhance the N-Channel MOSFET’s gate (Q1). During
normal operating conditions (t3in Figure 2) the gate of Q1is held charged by an internal 20 µA current source.
The charge pump peak voltage is roughly 13.5V, which will force a VGS across Q1 of 13.5V under normal
operation. When the system voltage is initially applied, the GATE pin is held low by a 115 mA pull-down current.
This helps prevent an inadvertent turn-on of Q1through its drain-gate capacitance as the applied system voltage
increases.

During the insertion time (t1in Figure 2) the GATE pin is held low by a 4.2 mA pull-down current. This maintains
Q1in the off-state until the end of t1, regardless of the voltage at VIN or UVLO. Following the insertion time,
during t2in Figure 2 the gate voltage of Q1is modulated to keep the current or power dissipation level from
exceeding the programmed levels. While in the current or power limiting mode, the TIMER pin capacitor is
charging. If the current and power limiting cease before the TIMER pin reaches 3.9V the TIMER pin capacitor
then discharges, and the circuit begins normal operation. If the in-rush limiting condition persists such that the
TIMER pin reached 3.9V during t2, the GATE pin is then pulled low by the 4.2 mA pull-down current. The GATE
pin is then held low until either a power up sequence is initiated (RETRY pin to VDD), or an automatic retry is
attempted (RETRY pin to GROUND or floating). See the Fault Timer & Restart section. If the system input
voltage falls below the UVLO threshold, or rises above the OVLO threshold, the GATE pin is pulled low by the
4.2 mA pull-down current to switch off Q1.
Current Limit
The current limit threshold is reached when the voltage across the sense resistor RS(VIN to SENSE) exceeds
the internal voltage limit of 26 mV or 50 mV depending on whether the CL pin is connected to VDD or GND,
respectively. In the current limiting condition, the GATE voltage is controlled to limit the current in MOSFET Q1.
While the current limit circuit is active, the fault timer is active as described in the Fault Timer & Restart section. If
the load current falls below the current limit threshold before the end of the Fault Timeout Period, the LM5066
resumes normal operation. If the current limit condition persists for longer than the Fault Timeout Period set by
CT, the IIN OC Fault bit in the STATUS_INPUT (7Ch) register, the INPUT bit in the STATUS_WORD (79h)
register, and IIN_OC/PFET_OP_FAULT bit in the DIAGNOSTIC_WORD (E1h) register will be toggled high and
SMBA pin will be asserted. SMBA toggling can be disabled using the ALERT_MASK (D8h) register. For proper
operation, the RSresistor value should be no higher than 200 m. Higher values may create instability in the
current limit control loop. The current limit threshold pin value may be overridden by setting appropriate bits in
the DEVICE_SETUP register (D9h).
Circuit Breaker
If the load current increases rapidly (for example, the load is short circuited) the current in the sense resistor (RS)
may exceed the current limit threshold before the current limit control loop is able to respond. If the current
exceeds 1.94x or 3.87x (CL = GND) the current limit threshold, Q1is quickly switched off by the 115 mA pull-
down current at the GATE pin, and a Fault Timeout Period begins. When the voltage across RSfalls below the
circuit breaker (CB) threshold, the 115 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin is switched off, and the gate
voltage of Q1is then determined by the current limit or the power limit functions. If the TIMER pin reaches 3.9V
before the current limiting or power limiting condition ceases, Q1is switched off by the 4.2 mA pull-down current
at the GATE pin as described in the Fault Timer & Restart section. A circuit breaker event will cause the
CIRCUIT BREAKER FAULT bit in the STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC (80h) and DIAGNOSTIC_WORD (E1h)
registers to be toggled high and SMBA pin will be asserted unless this feature is disabled using the
ALERT_MASK (D8h) register. The circuit breaker pin configuration may be overridden by setting appropriate bits
in the DEVICE_SETUP (D9h) register.
Power Limit
An important feature of the LM5066 is the MOSFET power limiting. The Power Limit function can be used to
maintain the maximum power dissipation of MOSFET Q1within the device SOA rating. The LM5066 determines
the power dissipation in Q1by monitoring its drain-source voltage (SENSE to OUT), and the drain current
through the RS(VIN to SENSE). The product of the current and voltage is compared to the power limit threshold
programmed by the resistor at the PWR pin. If the power dissipation reaches the limiting threshold, the GATE
voltage is modulated to regulate the current in Q1. While the power limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is
active as described in the Fault Timer & Restart section. If the power limit condition persists for longer than the
Fault Timeout Period set by the timer capacitor, CT, the IIN OC Fault bit in the STATUS_INPUT (7Ch) register,
the INPUT bit in the STATUS_WORD (79h) register, and the IIN_OC/PFET_OP_FAULT bit in the
DIAGNOSTIC_WORD (E1h) register will be toggled high and SMBA pin will be asserted unless this feature is
disabled using the ALERT_MASK (D8h) register.

Fault Timer & Restart
When the current limit or power limit threshold is reached during turn-on, or as a result of a fault condition, the
gate-to-source voltage of Q1is modulated to regulate the load current and power dissipation in Q1. When either
limiting function is active, a 75 µA fault timer current source charges the external capacitor (CT) at the TIMER pin
as shown in Figure 2 (Fault Timeout Period). If the fault condition subsides during the Fault Timeout Period
before the TIMER pin reaches 3.9V, the LM5066 returns to the normal operating mode and CTis discharged by
the 1.5 mA current sink. If the TIMER pin reaches 3.9V during the Fault Timeout Period, Q1is switched off by a
4.2 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin. The subsequent restart procedure then depends on the selected retry
configuration.
If the RETRY pin is high, the LM5066 latches the GATE pin low at the end of the Fault Timeout Period. CTis
then discharged to ground by the 2.5 µA fault current sink. The GATE pin is held low by the 4.2 mA pull-down
current until a power up sequence is externally initiated by cycling the input voltage (VIN), or momentarily pulling
the UVLO/EN pin below its threshold with an open-collector or open-drain device as shown in Figure 3. The
voltage at the TIMER pin must be <0.3V for the restart procedure to be effective. The TIMER_LATCHED_OFF
bit in the DIAGNOSTIC_WORD (E1h) register will remain high while the latched off condition persists.
Figure 3. Latched Fault Restart Control
The LM5066 provides an automatic restart sequence which consists of the TIMER pin cycling between 3.9V and
1.1V seven times after the Fault Timeout Period, as shown in Figure 4. The period of each cycle is determined
by the 75 µA charging current, and the 2.5 µA discharge current, and the value of the capacitor CT. When the
TIMER pin reaches 0.3V during the eighth high-to-low ramp, the 20 µA current source at the GATE pin turns on
Q1. If the fault condition is still present, the Fault Timeout Period and the restart sequence repeat. The RETRY
pin allows selecting no retries or infinite retries. Finer control of the retry behavior can be achieved through the
DEVICE_SETUP (D9h) register. Retry counts of 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or infinite may be selected by setting the
appropriate bits in the DEVICE_SETUP (D9h) register.

Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The series pass MOSFET (Q1) is enabled when the input supply voltage (VIN) is within the operating range
defined by the programmable under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and over-voltage lockout (OVLO) levels. Typically
the UVLO level at VIN is set with a resistor divider (R1-R3) as shown in Figure 5. Refering to the Block Diagram
when VIN is below the UVLO level, the internal 20 µA current source at UVLO is enabled, the current source at
OVLO is off, and Q1is held off by the 4.2 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin. As VIN is increased, raising the
voltage at UVLO above its threshold the 20 µA current source at UVLO is switched off, increasing the voltage at
UVLO, providing hysteresis for this threshold. With the UVLO/EN pin above its threshold, Q1is switched on by
the 20 µA current source at the GATE pin if the insertion time delay has expired.
See the Application Information section for a procedure to calculate the values of the threshold setting resistors
(R1-R3). The minimum possible UVLO level at VIN can be set by connecting the UVLO/EN pin to VIN. In this
case Q1is enabled after the insertion time when the voltage at VIN reaches the POR threshold. After power up
an UVLO condition will cause the INPUT bit in the STATUS_WORD (79h) register, the VIN_UV_FAULT bit in the
STATUS_INPUT (7Ch) register, and the VIN_UNDERVOLTAGE_FAULT bit in the DIAGNOSTIC_WORD (E1h)
registers to be toggled high and SMBA pin will be pulled low unless this feature is disabled using the
ALERT_MASK (D8h) register.
Over-Voltage Lockout (OVLO)
The series pass MOSFET (Q1) is enabled when the input supply voltage (VIN) is within the operating range
defined by the programmable under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and over-voltage lockout (OVLO) levels. If VIN raises
the OVLO pin voltage above its threshold, Q1is switched off by the 4.2 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin,
denying power to the load. When the OVLO pin is above its threshold, the internal 21 µA current source at OVLO
is switched on, raising the voltage at OVLO to provide threshold hysteresis. When VIN is reduced below the
OVLO level Q1is re-enabled. An OVLO condition will toggle the VIN_OV_FAULT bit in the STATUS_INPUT
(7Ch) register, the INPUT bit in the STATUS_WORD (79h) register and the VIN_OVERVOLTAGE_FAULT bit in
the DIAGNOSTIC_WORD (E1h) register. The SMBA pin will be pulled low unless this feature is disabled using
the ALERT_MASK (D8h) register.
See the Application Information section for a procedure to calculate the threshold setting resistor values.
Shutdown Control
The load current can be remotely switched off by taking the UVLO/EN pin below its threshold with an open
collector or open drain device, as shown in Figure 5. Upon releasing the UVLO/EN pin the LM5066 switches on
the load current with in-rush current and power limiting.
Figure 5. Shutdown Control
Power Good Pin
The Power Good indicator pin (PGD) is connected to the drain of an internal N-channel MOSFET capable of
sustaining 80V in the off-state, and transients up to 100V. An external pull-up resistor is required at PGD to an
appropriate voltage to indicate the status to downstream circuitry. The off-state voltage at the PGD pin can be
higher or lower than the voltages at VIN and OUT. PGD is switched high when the voltage at the FB pin exceeds
the PGD threshold voltage. Typically the output voltage threshold is set with a resistor divider from output to
feedback, although the monitored voltage need not be the output voltage. Any other voltage can be monitored as
long as the voltage at the FB pin does not exceed its maximum rating. Referring to the Block Diagram, when the

SNVS655G JUNE 2011REVISED FEBRUARY 2013
www.ti.com
voltage at the FB pin is below its threshold, the 20 µA current source at FB is disabled. As the output voltage
increases, taking FB above its threshold, the current source is enabled, sourcing current out of the pin, raising
the voltage at FB to provide threshold hysteresis. The PGD output is forced low when either the UVLO/EN pin is
below its threshold or the OVLO pin is above its threshold. The status of the PGD pin can be read via the PMBus
interface in either the STATUS_WORD (79h) or DIAGNOSTIC_WORD (E1h) registers.
VDD Sub-Regulator
The LM5066 contains an internal linear sub-regulator which steps down the input voltage to generate a 4.9V rail
used for powering low voltage circuitry. The VDD sub-regulator should be used as the pull-up supply for the CL,
RETRY, ADR2, ADR1, ADR0 pins if they are to be tied high. It may also be used as the pull-up supply for the
PGD and the SMBus signals (SDA, SCL, SMBA). The VDD sub-regulator is not designed to drive high currents
and should not be loaded with other integrated circuits. The VDD pin is current limited to 30mA in order to protect
the LM5066 in the event of a short. The sub-regulator requires a ceramic bypass capacitance having a value of 1
µF or greater to be placed as close to the VDD pin as the PCB layout allows.
Remote Temperature Sensing
The LM5066 is designed to measure temperature remotely using an MMBT3904 NPN transistor. The base and
collector of the MMBT3904 should be connected to the DIODE pin and the emitter to the LM5066 ground. Place
the MMBT3904 near the device that requires temperature sensing. If the temperature of the hot swap pass
MOSFET, Q1, is to be measured, the MMBT3904 should be placed as close to Q1as the layout allows. The
temperature is measured by means of a change in the diode voltage in response to a step in current supplied by
the DIODE pin. The DIODE pin sources a constant 9.4 µA but pulses 250 µA once every millisecond in order to
measure the diode temperature. Care must be taken in the PCB layout to keep the parasitic resistance between
the DIODE pin and the MMBT3904 low so as not to degrade the measurement. Additionally, a small 1000 pF
bypass capacitor should be placed in parallel with the MMBT3904 to reduce the effects of noise. The
temperature can be read using the READ_TEMPERATURE_1 PMBus command (8Dh). The default limits of the
LM5066 will cause SMBA pin to be pulled low if the measured temperature exceeds 125°C and will disable Q1if
the temperature exceeds 150°C. These thresholds can be reprogrammed via the PMBus interface using the
OT_WARN_LIMIT (51h) and OT_FAULT_LIMIT (4Fh) commands. If the temperature measurement and
protection capability of the LM5066 are not used, the DIODE pin should be grounded.
Erroneous temperature measurements may result when the device input voltage is below the minimum operating
voltage (10V), due to VREF dropping out below the nominal voltage (2.97V). At higher ambient temperatures,
this measurement could read a value higher than the OT_FAULT_LIMIT, and will trigger a fault, disabling Q1. In
this case, the faults should be removed and the device reset by writing a 0h, followed by an 80h to the
OPERATION (03h) register.
Damaged MOSFET Detection
The LM5066 is able to detect whether the external MOSFET, Q1, is damaged under certain conditions. If the
voltage across the sense resistor exceeds 4mV while the GATE voltage is low or the internal logic indicates that
the GATE should be low, the EXT_MOSFET_SHORTED bit in the STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC (80h) and
DIAGNOSTIC_WORD (E1h) registers will be toggled high and the SMBA pin will be asserted unless this feature
is disabled using the ALERT_MASK register (D8h). This method effectively determines whether Q1is shorted
because of damage present between the drain and gate and/or drain and source.
Enabling/Disabling and Resetting
The output can be disabled at any time during normal operation by either pulling the UVLO/EN pin to below its
threshold or the OVLO pin above its threshold, causing the GATE voltage to be forced low with a pulldown
strength of 4.2mA. Toggling the UVLO/EN pin will also reset the LM5066 from a latched-off state due to an over-
current or over-power limit condition which has caused the maximum allowed number of retries to be exceeded.
While the UVLO/EN or OVLO pins can be used to disable the output they have no effect on the volatile memory
or address location of the LM5066. User stored values for address, device operation, and warning and fault
levels programmed via the SMBus are preserved while the LM5066 is powered regardless of the state of the
UVLO/EN and OVLO pins.The output may also be enabled or disabled by writing 80h or 0h to the OPERATION
(03h) register. To re-enable after a fault, the fault condition should be cleared and the OPERATION (03h) register
with 0h and then 80h.

The SMBus address of the LM5066 is captured based on the states of the ADR0, ADR1, and ADR2 pins (GND,
NC, VDD) during turn on and is latched into a volatile register once VDD has exceeded its POR threshold of
4.1V. Reassigning or postponing the address capture is accomplished by holding the VREF pin to ground.
Pulling the VREF pin low will also reset the logic and erase the volatile memory of the LM5066. Once released,
the VREF pin will charge up to its final value and the address will be latched into a volatile register once the
voltage at the VREF exceeds 2.55V.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 6. Typical Application Circuit
DESIGN-IN PROCEDURE
Refer to Figure 6 for Typical Application Circuit. The following is the step-by-step procedure for hardware design
of the LM5066. This procedure refers to section numbers that provide detailed information on the following
design steps. The recommended design-in procedure is as follows:
MOSFET Selection: Determine MOSFET based on breakdown voltage, current and power ratings.
Current Limit, RS:Determine the current limit threshold (ILIM). This threshold must be higher than the normal
maximum load current, allowing for tolerances in the current sense resistor value and the LM5066 Current Limit
threshold voltage. Use Equation 1 to determine the value for RS.
Power Limit Threshold: Determine the maximum allowable power dissipation for the series pass MOSFET (Q1),
using the device’s SOA information. Use Equation 2 to determine the value for RPWR. Note that many MOSFET
manufacturers do not accurately specify the device SOA so it is usually beneficial to choose a conservative value
when selecting RPWR.
Turn-on Time and TIMER Capacitor, CT:Determine the value for the timing capacitor at the TIMER pin (CT)
using Equation 7 and Equation 8. The fault timeout period (tFAULT)MUST be longer than the circuit’s turn-on time.
The turn-on time can be estimated using the equations in the TURN-ON TIME section, but should be verified
experimentally. Review the resulting insertion time and the restart timing if retry is enabled.
UVLO, OVLO: Choose option A, B, C, or D from the UVLO, OVLO section to set the UVLO and OVLO
thresholds and hysteresis. Use the procedure for the appropriate option to determine the resistor values at the
UVLO/EN and OVLO pins.
Power Good: Choose the appropriate output voltage and calculate the required resistor divider from the output
voltage to the FB pin. Choose either VDD or OUT to connect a properly sized pull-up resistor for the Power Good
output (PGD).

Refer to Programming Guide section: After all hardware design is complete, refer to the programming guide
for a step by step procedure regarding software.
MOSFET SELECTION
It is recommended that the external MOSFET (Q1) selection is based on the following criteria:
- The BVDSS rating should be greater than the maximum system voltage (VIN), plus ringing and transients which
can occur at VIN when the circuit card, or adjacent cards, are inserted or removed.
- The maximum continuous current rating should be based on the current limit threshold (for example, 26 mV/RS
for CL = VDD), not the maximum load current, since the circuit can operate near the current limit threshold
continuously.
- The Pulsed Drain Current spec (IDM) must be greater than the current threshold for the circuit breaker function
(48/96/193 mV/RS, depending on CL and CB configuration).
- The SOA (Safe Operating Area) chart of the device, and the thermal properties, should be used to determine
the maximum power dissipation threshold set by the RPWR resistor. The programmed maximum power dissipation
should have a reasonable margin from the maximum power defined by the MOSFET’s SOA curve. If the device
is set to infinitely retry, the MOSFET will be repeatedly stressed during fault restart cycles. The MOSFET
manufacturer should be consulted for guidelines.
- RDS(on) should be sufficiently low such that the power dissipation at maximum load current (ILIM2x RDS(on)) does
not raise its junction temperature above the manufacturer’s recommendation.
- The gate-to-source voltage provided by the LM5066 can be as high as 16.5V, limited by the internal zener
diode from GATE to OUT. Q1must be able to tolerate this voltage for its VGS rating. An additional zener diode
can be added from GATE to OUT to lower this voltage and limit the peak VGS. The zener diode’s forward current
rating must be at least 110 mA to conduct the GATE pull-down current when a circuit breaker condition is
detected.
CURRENT LIMIT (RS)
The LM5066 monitors the current in the external MOSFET Q1by measuring the voltage across the sense
resistor (RS), connected from VIN to SENSE. The required resistor value is calculated from:
(1)
where ILIM is the desired current limit threshold. If the voltage across RSreaches VCL, the current limit circuit
modulates the gate of Q1to regulate the current at ILIM. While the current limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is
active as described in the Fault Timer & Restart section. For proper operation, RSmust be less than 200 m.
VCL can be set to either 26 mV or 50 mV via hardware and/or software. This setting defaults to use of CL pin
which, when connected to VDD is 26 mV, or grounded is 50 mV. The value, when powered, can be set via the
PMBus with the MFR_SPECIFIC_DEVICE_SETUP command, which defaults to the 26 mV setting.
Once the desired setting is known, calculate the shunt based on that input voltage and maximum current. While
the maximum load current in normal operation can be used to determine the required power rating for resistor
RS, basing it on the current limit value provides a more reliable design since the circuit can operate near the
current limit threshold continuously. The resistor’s surge capability must also be considered since the circuit
breaker threshold is 1.94 or 3.87 times the current limit threshold.
Connections from RSto the LM5066 should be made using Kelvin techniques. In the suggested layout of
Figure 7 the small pads at the lower corners of the sense resistor connect only to the sense resistor terminals,
and not to the traces carrying the high current. With this technique, only the voltage across the sense resistor is
applied to VIN_K and SENSE, eliminating the voltage drop across the high current solder connections.

POWER LIMIT THRESHOLD
The LM5066 determines the power dissipation in the external MOSFET (Q1) by monitoring the drain current (the
current in RS) and the VDS of Q1(SENSE to OUT pins). The resistor at the PWR pin (RPWR) sets the maximum
power dissipation for Q1, and is calculated from the following equation:
(2)
where PMOSFET(LIM) is the desired power limit threshold for Q1, and RSis the current sense resistor described in
the CURRENT LIMIT (RS)section. For example, if RSis 5 m, VIN = 48V, and the desired power limit threshold
is 50W, RPWR calculates to 24.9 k. If Q1s power dissipation reaches the threshold Q1’s gate is modulated to
regulate the load current, keeping Q1’s power from exceeding the threshold. For proper operation of the power
limiting feature, RPWR must be 150 k. While the power limiting circuit is active, the fault timer is active as
described in the Fault Timer & Restart section. Typically, power limit is reached during startup, or if the output
voltage falls due to a severe overload or short circuit. The programmed maximum power dissipation should have
a reasonable margin from the maximum power defined by the SOA chart, especially if retry is enabled, because
the MOSFET will be repeatedly stressed during fault restart cycles. The MOSFET manufacturer should be
consulted for guidelines. If the application does not require use of the power limit function the PWR pin can be
left open. The accuracy of the power limit function at turn-on may degrade if a very low power dissipation limit is
set. The reason for this caution is that the voltage across the sense resistor, which is monitored and regulated by
the power limit circuit, is lowest at turn-on when the regulated current is at a minimum. The voltage across the
sense resistor during power limit can be expressed as follows:
(3)
where ILIM is the current in RS, and VDS is the voltage across Q1. For example, if the power limit is set at 75W
with RS=5m, and VDS = 48V the sense resistor voltage calculates to 7.8 mV, which is comfortably regulated
by the LM5066. However, if the power limit is set lower (for example, 25W), the sense resistor voltage calculates
to 2.6 mV. At this low level noise and offsets within the LM5066 may degrade the power limit accuracy. To
maintain accuracy, the sense resistor voltage should not be less than 3 mV.
TURN-ON TIME
The output turn-on time depends on whether the LM5066 operates in current limit, or in both power limit and
current limit, during turn-on.
A) Turn-on with current limit only: The current limit threshold (ILIM) is determined by the current sense resistor
(RS). If the current limit threshold is less than the current defined by the power limit threshold at maximum VDS
the circuit operates only at the current limit threshold during turn-on. Referring to Figure 8A, as the load current
reaches ILIM, the gate-to-source voltage is controlled at VGSL to maintain the current at ILIM. As the output voltage
reaches its final value (VDS 0V) the drain current reduces to its normal operating value. The time for the OUT
pin voltage to transition from zero volts to VIN is equal to:

where CLis the load capacitance. For example, if VIN = 48V, CL= 200 µF, and ILIM = 5A, tON calculates to 12 ms.
The maximum instantaneous power dissipated in the MOSFET is 12W. This calculation assumes the time from t1
to t2in Figure 9(a) is small compared to tON, the load does not draw any current until after the output voltage has
reached its final value, and PGD switches high (Figure 8A). The Fault Timeout Period must be set longer than
tON to prevent a fault shutdown before the turn-on sequence is complete.
If the load draws current during the turn-on sequence (Figure 8B), the turn-on time is longer than the above
calculation, and is approximately equal to:

shutdown before the turn-on sequence is complete.

B. Load Draws Current During Turn-On
Figure 8. Current During Turn-On
B) Turn-On with Power Limit and Current Limit: The maximum allowed power dissipation in Q1(PMOSFET(LIM))
is defined by the resistor at the PWR pin, and the current sense resistor RS. See the POWER LIMIT
THRESHOLD section. If the current limit threshold (ILIM) is higher than the current defined by the power limit
threshold at maximum VDS (PMOSFET(LIM)/VIN) the circuit operates initially in the power limit mode when the VDS of
Q1is high, and then transitions to current limit mode as the current increases to ILIM and VDS decreases.
Assuming the load (RL) is not connected during turn-on, the time for the output voltage to reach its final value is
approximately equal to:
(6)
For example, if VIN = 48V, CL= 200 µF, ILIM = 1A, and PMOSFET(LIM) = 10W, tON calculates to 24 ms, and the
initial current level (IP) is approximately 0.208A. The Fault Timeout Period must be set longer than tON.

Figure 9. MOSFET Power Up Waveforms
TIMER CAPACITOR, CT
The TIMER pin capacitor (CT) sets the timing for the insertion time delay, fault timeout period, and the restart
timing of the LM5066.
A) Insertion Delay -Upon applying the system voltage (VIN) to the circuit, the external MOSFET (Q1) is held off
during the insertion time (t1in Figure 2) to allow ringing and transients at VIN to settle. Since each backplane’s
response to a circuit card plug-in is unique, the worst case settling time must be determined for each application.
The insertion time starts when VIN reaches the POR threshold, at which time the internal 4.8 µA current source
charges CTfrom 0V to 3.9V. The required capacitor value is calculated from:
(7)
For example, if the desired insertion delay is 250 ms, CTcalculates to 0.3 µF. At the end of the insertion delay,
CTis quickly discharged by a 1.5 mA current sink.
B) Fault Timeout Period -During in-rush current limiting or upon detection of a fault condition where the current
limit and/or power limit circuits regulate the current through Q1, the fault timer current source (75 µA) is switched
on to charge CT. The Fault Timeout Period is the time required for the TIMER pin voltage to reach 3.9V, at which
time Q1is switched off. The required capacitor value for the desired Fault Timeout Period tFAULT is calculated
from:
(8)
For example, if the desired Fault Timeout Period is 15 ms, CTcalculates to 0.3 µF. CTis discharged by the 2.5
µA current sink at the end of the Fault Timeout Period. After the Fault Timeout Period, if retry is disabled, the
LM5066 latches the GATE pin low until a power up sequence is initiated by external circuitry. When the Fault
Timeout Period of the LM5066 expires, a restart sequence starts as described below (Restart Timing). During
consecutive cycles of the restart sequence, the fault timeout period is shorter than the initial fault time out period
described above by approximately 8% since the voltage at the TIMER pin starts ramping up from 0.3V rather
than ground.
Since the LM5066 normally operates in power limit and/or current limit during a power up sequence, the Fault
Timeout Period MUST be longer than the time required for the output voltage to reach its final value. See the
TURN-ON TIME section.
C) Restart Timing For the LM5066, after the Fault Timeout Period described above, CTis discharged by the 2.5
µA current sink to 1.1V. The TIMER pin then cycles through seven additional charge/discharge cycles between
1.1V and 3.9V as shown in Figure 4. The restart time ends when the TIMER pin voltage reaches 0.3V during the
final high-to-low ramp. The restart time, after the Fault Timeout Period, is equal to:

For example, if CT= 0.8 µF, tRESTART = 7.9 seconds. At the end of the restart time, Q1is switched on. If the fault
is still present, the fault timeout and restart sequence repeats. The on-time duty cycle of Q1 is approximately
0.5% in this mode.
UVLO, OVLO
By programming the UVLO and OVLO thresholds the LM5066 enables the series pass device (Q1) when the
input supply voltage (VIN) is within the desired operational range. If VIN is below the UVLO threshold, or above
the OVLO threshold, Q1is switched off, denying power to the load. Hysteresis is provided for each threshold.
Option A: The configuration shown in Figure 10 requires three resistors (R1-R3) to set the thresholds.
Figure 10. UVLO and OVLO Thresholds Set By R1-R3
The procedure to calculate the resistor values is as follows:
- Choose the upper UVLO threshold (VUVH), and the lower UVLO threshold (VUVL).
- Choose the upper OVLO threshold (VOVH).
- The lower OVLO threshold (VOVL) cannot be chosen in advance in this case, but is determined after the values
for R1-R3 are determined. If VOVL must be accurately defined in addition to the other three thresholds, see
Option B below. The resistors are calculated as follows:
(11)
(12)
(13)
The lower OVLO threshold is calculated from:
(14)
As an example, assume the application requires the following thresholds: VUVH = 36V, VUVL = 32V, VOVH = 60V.

The lower OVLO threshold calculates to 55.6V, and the OVLO hysteresis is 4.4V. Note that the OVLO hysteresis
is always slightly greater than the UVLO hysteresis in this configuration. When the R1-R3 resistor values are
known, the threshold voltages and hysteresis are calculated from the following:
(18)
(19)
VUV(HYS) = R1 x 20µA (20)
(21)
(22)
VOV(HYS) = (R1 + R2) x 21µA (23)
Option B: If all four thresholds must be accurately defined, the configuration in Figure 11 can be used.
Figure 11. Programming the Four Thresholds
The four resistor values are calculated as follows: - Choose the upper and lower UVLO thresholds (VUVH) and
(VUVL).
(24)
(25)
- Choose the upper and lower OVLO threshold (VOVH) and (VOVL).
(26)
(27)
As an example, assume the application requires the following thresholds: VUVH = 36V, VUVL = 32V, VOVH = 60V,
and VOVL = 56V. Therefore VUV(HYS) = 4V, and VOV(HYS) = 4V. The resistor values are:
R1 = 200 k, R2 = 16.8 k
R3 = 190 k, R4 = 8.1 k

Option C: The minimum UVLO level is obtained by connecting the UVLO/EN pin to VIN as shown in Figure 12.
Q1 is switched on when the VIN voltage reaches the POREN threshold (8.6V). The OVLO thresholds are set
using R3, R4. Their values are calculated using the procedure in Option B.
Figure 12. UVLO = POREN
Option D: The OVLO function can be disabled by grounding the OVLO pin. The UVLO thresholds are set as
described in Option B or Option C.
POWER GOOD PIN
When the voltage at the FB pin increases above its threshold the internal pulldown acting on the PGD pin is
disabled allowing PGD to rise to VPGD through the pull-up resistor, RPG, as shown in Figure 14. The pull-up
voltage (VPGD) can be as high as 80V, and can be higher or lower than the voltages at VIN and OUT. VDD is a
convenient choice for VPGD as it allows interface to low voltage logic and avoids glitching on PGD during power-
up. If a delay is required at PGD, suggested circuits are shown in Figure 15.InFigure 15A, capacitor CPG adds
delay to the rising edge, but not to the falling edge. In Figure 15B, the rising edge is delayed by RPG1 + RPG2 and
CPG, while the falling edge is delayed a lesser amount by RPG2 and CPG. Adding a diode across RPG2
(Figure 15C) allows for equal delays at the two edges, or a short delay at the rising edge and a long delay at the
falling edge.
Setting the output threshold for the PGD pin requires two resistors (R4, R5) as shown in Figure 13. While
monitoring the output voltage is shown in Figure 13, R4 can be connected to any other voltage which requires
monitoring.
The resistor values are calculated as follows:
Choose the upper and lower threshold (VPGDH) and (VPGDL) at VOUT.

SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
A) Continued proper operation of the LM5066 hot swap circuit requires a voltage clamping element present on
the supply side of the connector into which the hot swap circuit is plugged in. A TVS is ideal, as depicted in
Figure 16. The TVS is necessary to absorb the voltage transient generated whenever the hot swap circuit shuts
off the load current. If the TVS is not present, inductance in the supply lines will generate a voltage transient at
shut-off which can exceed the absolute maximum rating of the LM5066, resulting in its destruction. For low
current solutions (<2A), a capacitor may be sufficient to limit the voltage surge, however this comes at the
expense of input surge current on card insertion.
If the load powered by the LM5066 hot swap circuit has inductive characteristics, a Schottky diode is required
across the LM5066’s output, along with some load capacitance. The capacitance and the diode are necessary to
limit the negative excursion at the OUT pin when the load current is shut off. If the OUT pin transitions more than
0.3V negative the LM5066 can be permanently damaged. See Figure 16.
Figure 16. Output Diode Required for Inductive Loads
PC BOARD GUIDELINES
The following guidelines should be followed when designing the PC board for the LM5066:
- Place the LM5066 close to the board’s input connector to minimize trace inductance from the connector to the
MOSFET.
- Place a TVS, Z1, directly adjacent to the VIN and GND pins of the LM5066 to help minimize voltage transients
which may occur on the input supply line. The TVS should be chosen such that the peak VIN is just lower the
TVS reverse-bias voltage. Transients of 20 volts or greater over the nominal input voltage can easily occur when
the load current is shut off. A small capacitor may be sufficient for low current sense applications (I < 2A). It is
recommended to test the VIN input voltage transient performance of the circuit by current limiting or shorting the
load and measuring the peak input voltage transient.
- Place a 1 µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to VREF pin.
- Place a 1 µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to VDD pin.
- Minimize the inductance between the VIN and VIN_K pins. There are anti-parallel diodes between these pins so
any voltage greater than 0.3V in either polarity will cause significant current flow through the diodes, which can
result in device failure. Do not place any resistors between these two nodes.
- Minimize the impedance between the VIN_K and SENSE pins. There are anti-parallel diodes between these
pins so any voltage greater than 0.3V in either polarity will cause significant current flow through the diodes,
which can result in device failure.
- The sense resistor (RS) should be placed close to the LM5066. A trace should connect the VIN pad and Q1pad
of the sense resistor to VIN_K and SENSE pins, respectively. Connect RSusing the Kelvin techniques shown in
Figure 7.
- The high current path from the board’s input to the load (via Q1), and the return path, should be parallel and
close to each other to minimize loop inductance.

- The AGND and GND connections should be connected at the pins of the device.The ground connections for
the various components around the LM5066 should be connected directly to each other, and to the LM5066’s
GND and AGND pin connection, and then connected to the system ground at one point. Do not connect the
various component grounds to each other through the high current ground line.
- Provide adequate thermal sinking for the series pass device (Q1) to help reduce stresses during turn-on and
turn-off.
- The board’s edge connector can be designed such that the LM5066 detects via the UVLO/EN pin that the
board is being removed, and responds by turning off the load before the supply voltage is disconnected. For
example, in Figure 17, the voltage at the UVLO/EN pin goes to ground before VIN is removed from the LM5066
as a result of the shorter edge connector pin. When the board is inserted into the edge connector, the system
voltage is applied to the LM5066’s VIN pin before the UVLO voltage is taken high, thereby allowing the LM5066
to turn on the output in a controlled fashion.

STANDARD PMBUS COMMANDS
OPERATION (01h)
The OPERATION command is a standard PMBus command that controls the MOSFET switch. This command
may be used to switch the MOSFET ON and OFF under host control. It is also used to re-enable the MOSFET
after a fault triggered shutdown. Writing an OFF command, followed by an ON command, will clear all faults and
re-enable the device. Writing only an ON after a fault-triggered shutdown will not clear the fault registers or re-
enable the device. The OPERATION command is issued with the write byte protocol.
Table 2. Recognized OPERATION Command Values
Value Meaning Default
80h Switch ON 80h
00h Switch OFF n/a
CLEAR FAULTS (03h)
The CLEAR_FAULTS command is a standard PMBus command that resets all stored warning and fault flags
and the SMBA signal. If a fault or warning condition still exists when the CLEAR_FAULTS command is issued,
the SMBA signal may not clear or will re-assert almost immediately. Issuing a CLEAR_FAULTS command will
not cause the MOSFET to switch back on in the event of a fault turnoff - that must be done by issuing an
OPERATION command after the fault condition is cleared. This command uses the PMBus send byte protocol.
CAPABILITY (19h)
The CAPABILITY command is a standard PMBus command that returns information about the PMBus functions
supported by the LM5066. This command is read with the PMBus read byte protocol.

Value Meaning Default
B0h Supports Packet Error Check, 400Kbits/sec, B0h

VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT (58h)
The VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT command is a standard PMBus command that allows configuring or reading the
threshold for the VOUT Under-voltage Warning detection. Reading and writing to this register should use the
coefficients shown in Table 41. Accesses to this command should use the PMBus read or write word protocol. If
the measured value of VOUT falls below the value in this register, VOUT UV Warn flags are set and the SMBA
signal is asserted.

OT_FAULT_LIMIT (4Fh)
The OT_FAULT_LIMIT command is a standard PMBus command that allows configuring or reading the threshold
for the overtemperature fault detection. Reading and writing to this register should use the coefficients shown in
Table 41. Accesses to this command should use the PMBus read or write word protocol. If the measured
temperature exceeds this value, an overtemperature fault is triggered and the MOSFET is switched off, OT
FAULT flags set, and the SMBA signal asserted. After the measured temperature falls below the value in this
register, the MOSFET may be switched back on with the OPERATION command. A single temperature
measurement is an average of 16 round-robin cycles; therefore, the minimum temperature fault detection time is
16 ms.

MFR_SPECIFIC_07: GATE_MASK (D7h)
The GATE_MASK register allows the hardware to prevent fault conditions from switching off the MOSFET. When
the bit is high, the corresponding FAULT has no control over the MOSFET gate. All status registers will still be
updated (STATUS, DIAGNOSTIC) and an SMBA will still be asserted. This register is accessed with the PMBus
Read / Write Byte protocol.
The IIN/PFET Fault refers to the input current fault and the MOSFET power dissipation fault. There is no input
power fault detection; only input power warning detection.
WARNING
Inhibiting the MOSFET switch off in response to over-current or circuit breaker
fault conditions will likely result in the destruction of the MOSFET! This
functionality should be used with great care and supervision!

The ALERT_MASK command is used to mask the SMBA when a specific fault or warning has occurred. Each bit
corresponds to one of the 14 different analog and digital faults or warnings that would normally result in an
SMBA being asserted. When the corresponding bit is high, that condition will not cause the SMBA to be
asserted. If that condition occurs, the registers where that condition is captured will still be updated (STATUS
registers, DIAGNOSTIC_WORD) and the external MOSFET gate control will still be active (VIN_OV_FAULT,
VIN_UV_FAULT, IIN/PFET_FAULT, CB_FAULT, OT_FAULT). This register is accessed with the PMBus Read /

In order to configure the Current Limit Setting via this register, it is necessary to set the Current Limit
Configuration bit (2) to 1 to enable the register to control the current limit function and the Current Limit Setting
bit (4) to select the desired setting. If the Current Limit Configuration bit is not set, the pin setting will be used.
The Circuit Breaker to Current Limit ratio value is set by the CB / CL Ratio bit (3). Note that if the Current Limit
Configuration is changed, the samples for the telemetry averaging function will not be reset. It is recommended
to allow a full averaging update period with the new Current Limit Configuration before processing the averaged
data.
Note that the Current Limit Configuration affects the coefficients used for the Current and Power measurements
and warning registers.
MFR_SPECIFIC_10: BLOCK_READ (DAh)
The BLOCK_READ command concatenates the DIAGNOSTIC_WORD with input and output telemetry
information (IIN, VOUT, VIN, PIN) as well as TEMPERATURE to capture all of the operating information of the
LM5066 in a single SMBus transaction. The block is 12 bytes long with telemetry information being sent out in
the same manner as if an individual READ_XXX command had been issued (shown below). The contents of the
block read register are updated every clock cycle (85ns) as long as the SMBus interface is idle. BLOCK_READ
also specifies that the VIN, VOUT, IIN and PIN measurements are all time-aligned. If separate commands are
used, individual samples may not be time-aligned, because of the delay necessary for the communication
protocol.
The Block Read command is read via the PMBus block read protocol.

MFR_SPECIFIC_11: SAMPLES_FOR_AVG (DBh)
The SAMPLES_FOR_AVG command is a manufacturer specific command for setting the number of samples
used in computing the average values for IIN, VIN, VOUT, PIN. The decimal equivalent of the AVGN nibble is the
power of 2 samples, (for example, AVGN=12 equates to N=4096 samples used in computing the average). The
LM5066 supports average numbers of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096. The
SAMPLES_FOR_AVG number applies to average values of IIN, VIN, VOUT, PIN simultaneously. The LM5066
uses simple averaging. This is accomplished by summing consecutive results up to the number programmed,
then dividing by the number of samples. Averaging is calculated according to the following sequence:
Y = (X(N) + X(N-1) + ... + X(0)) / N (36)
When the averaging has reached the end of a sequence (for example, 4096 samples are averaged), then a
whole new sequence begins that will require the same number of samples (in this example, 4096) to be taken
before the new average is ready.

Note that a change in the SAMPLES_FOR_AVG register will not be reflected in the average telemetry
measurements until the present averaging interval has completed. The default setting for AVGN is 0000,
therefore, the average telemetry will mirror the instantaneous telemetry until a value higher than zero is
programmed.

READING AND WRITING TELEMETRY DATA AND WARNING THRESHOLDS
All measured telemetry data and user programmed warning thresholds are communicated in 12-bit two’s
compliment binary numbers read/written in 2 byte increments conforming to the Direct format as described in
section 8.3.3 of the PMBus Power System Management Protocol Specification 1.1 (Part II). The organization of
the bits in the telemetry or warning word is shown in Table 40, where Bit_11 is the most significant bit (MSB) and
Bit_0 is the least significant bit (LSB). The decimal equivalent of all warning and telemetry words are constrained
to be within the range of 0 to 4095, with the exception of temperature. The decimal equivalent value of the
temperature word ranges from 0 to 65535.

Conversion from direct format to real-world dimensions of current, voltage, power, and temperature is
accomplished by determining appropriate coefficients as described in section 7.2.1 of the PMBus Power System
Management Protocol Specification 1.1 (Part II). According to this specification, the host system converts the
values received into a reading of volts, amperes, watts, or other units using the following relationship:
(37)
Where:
X: the calculated "real-world" value (volts, amps, watt, etc.)
m: the slope coefficient
Y: a two byte two's complement integer received from device
b: the offset, a two byte, two's complement integer
R: the exponent, a one byte two's complement integer
R is only necessary in systems where m is required to be an integer (for example, where m may be stored in a
register in an integrated circuit). In those cases, R only needs to be large enough to yield the desired accuracy.

READING CURRENT
The current register actually displays a value equivalent to a voltage across the user specified sense resistor, RS.
The coefficients enable the data output to be converted to amps. The values shown in the example are based on
having the device programmed for a 26 mV current limit threshold (CL = VDD). In the 26mV range, the LSB
value is 9.3 µV and the full scale range is 38.0 mV. In the 50mV range (CL = GND), the LSB value is 18.5 µV
and the full scale range in 76.0 mV.

DETERMINING TELEMETRY COEFFICIENTS EMPIRICALLY WITH LINEAR FIT
The coefficients for telemetry measurements and warning thresholds presented in Table 41 are adequate for the
majority of applications. Current and power coefficients must be calculated per application as they are dependent
on the value of the sense resistor, RS, used. Table 42 provides the equations necessary for calculating the
current and power coefficients for the general case. The small signal nature of the current measurement make it
and the power measurement more susceptible to PCB parasitics than other telemetry channels. This may cause
slight variations in the optimum coefficients (m, b, R) for converting from Direct format digital values to real-world
values (for example, Amps and Watts). The optimum coefficients can be determined empirically for a specific
application and PCB layout using two or more measurements of the telemetry channel of interest. The current
coefficients can be determined using the following method:
1. While the LM5066 is in normal operation measure the voltage across the sense resistor using kelvin test
points and a high accuracy DVM while controlling the load current. Record the integer value returned by the
READ_AVG_IIN command (with the SAMPLES_FOR_AVG set to a value greater than 0) for two or more
voltages across the sense resistor. For best results, the individual READ_AVG_IIN measurements should
span nearly the full scale range of the current (For example, voltage across RSof 5mV and 20mV).
2. Convert the measured voltages to currents by dividing them by the value of RS. For best accuracy the value
of RSshould be measured. Table 43 assumes a sense resistor value of 5m.
Table 43. Measurements for linear fit determination of current coefficients:
Measured voltage across Measured Current (A) READ_AVG_IIN
RS(V) (integer value)
0.005 1 568
0.01 2 1108
0.02 4 2185
1. Using the spreadsheet or math program of your choice determine the slope and the y-intercept of the data
returned by the READ_AVG_IIN command versus the measured current. For the data shown in Table 42:
READ_AVG_IN value = slope x (Measured Current) + (y-intercept)
slope = 538.9
y-intercept = 29.5
2. To determine the m coefficient, simply shift the decimal point of the calculated slope to arrive at at integer
with a suitable number of significant digits for accuracy (typically 4) while staying with the range of -32768 to
+32767. This shift in the decimal point equates to the R coefficient. For the slope value shown above, the
decimal point would be shifted to the right once hence R= -1.
3. Once the R coefficient has been determined, the b coefficient is found by multiplying the y-intercept by
10-R. In this case the value of b= 295.
Calculated Current Coefficients:
m= 5389
b= 295
R= -1
(53)
Where:
X: the calculated "real-world" value (volts, amps, watts, temperature)
m: the slope coefficient, is the two byte, two's complement integer
Y: a two byte two's complement integer received from device
b: the offset, a two byte, two's complement integer
R: the exponent, a one byte two's complement integer
The above procedure can be repeated to determine the coefficients of any telemetry channel simply by
substituting measured current for some other parameter (for example, power, voltage, etc.).

(2) THIGH MAX provides a simple method for devices to detect bus idle conditions.
(3) TLOW:SEXT is the cumulative time a slave device is allowed to extend the clock cycles in one message from the initial start to the stop. If
a slave exceeds this time, it is expected to release both its clock and data lines and reset itself.
(4) TLOW:MEXT is the cumulative time a master device is allowed to extend its clock cycles within each byte of a message as defined from
start-to-ack, ack-to-ack, or ack-to-stop.
(5) Rise and fall time is defined as follows:• TR= ( VILMAX 0.15) to (VIHMIN + 0.15)• TF= 0.9 VDD to (VILMAX 0.15)

SMBA RESPONSE
The SMBA effectively has two masks:
1. The Alert Mask Register at D8h, and
2. The ARA Automatic Mask.
The ARA Automatic Mask is a mask that is set in response to a successful ARA read. An ARA read operation
returns the PMBus address of the lowest addressed part on the bus that has its SMBA asserted. A successful
ARA read means that THIS part was the one that returned its address. When a part responds to the ARA read, it
releases the SMBA signal. When the last part on the bus that has an SMBA set has successfully reported its
address, the SMBA signal will de-assert.
The way that the LM5066 releases the SMBA signal is by setting the ARA Automatic mask bit for all fault
conditions present at the time of the ARA read. All status registers will still show the fault condition, but it will not
generate and SMBA on that fault again until the ARA Automatic mask is cleared by the host issuing a
CLEAR_FAULTS command to this part. This should be done as a routine part of servicing an SMBA condition on
a part, even if the ARA read is not done. Figure 20 depicts a schematic version of this flow.

(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
