DYNAMIC WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 0 Vdc to100 Vdc.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM.
If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting
the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible
permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM
output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 50°C. The EVM
is designed to operate properly with certain components above 50°C as long as the input and output ranges are
maintained. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass
transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic
located in the EVM User’s Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation,
please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

1 Introduction
This User’s Guide describes the use and features of the simple –48-V hot swap evaluation
module (EVM). This EVM can be used to learn about the TPS2390 and TPS2391 hot swap
controller integrated circuits (ICs) from Texas Instruments (TI). The TPS2390 and TPS2391 are
negative voltage hot swap controllers intended for use in systems needing to hot swap telecom
distribution-level voltages. They integrate inrush current control, peak current limiting, electronic
circuit breaker, enable input, and current fault indication. The EVM is a PCB-based tool featuring
either device, and can be used to evaluate device operation in simulated live insertion events.
1.1 Features
The following list highlights some of the features of the TPS2390 and TPS2391.
•Wide input supply range of –36 V to –80 V
•Transient rating to –100 V
•Programmable current limit
•Programmable current slew rate
•Enable input (EN)
•Fault timer to eliminate nuisance trips
•Open-drain fault output (FAULT)
•8-pin MSOP package

1.2 Description
The TPS2390 and TPS2391 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. Both devices feature inrush current slew rate and peak
magnitude limiting, which are easily programmed by the sense resistor value, and a single
external capacitor. They facilitate implementation of platform control of the electrical connection
or isolation of the protected load, and provide single-line load fault reporting. An on-chip timer,
also set by a single capacitor, provides filtering against nuisance breaker trips. These features
are all incorporated into a tiny 8-pin MSOP package.
The TPS2390 latches off in response to current faults. The TPS2391 periodically retries the
load, to test for the continued existence of a fault.
2 The Simple –48-V Hot Swap Controller EVM
2.1 Module Description
The –48-V hot swap EVM contains all the components needed to implement a complete telecom
hot swap interface. In addition, it contains some additional components and PCB patterns to
facilitate evaluation of the device.
Banana jacks are provided for connection of the user’s power supply. On the switched side of
the hot swap circuit, jacks are also provided for connection of the user’s electronic or resistive
load, if desired. The board also contains two through-hole patterns for the installation of
large-value aluminum electrolytic capacitors. This capacitance is used to simulate the input bulk
capacitance present at a plug-in’s power inputs. The EVM is supplied from the factory with a
100-µF capacitor installed in one of the locations. The second pattern, connected in parallel with
the first, can be used to increase or otherwise modify the amount of load capacitance.
From the input power jacks, power is applied to the hot swap circuit via a toggle switch
connected in-line with the high-side of the power bus. Bounce of the switch contacts helps the
user observe the response of the devices under power-up conditions resembling those of an
actual application. An on-board slide switch is also provided to independently toggle the status
of the device enable input (EN pin).
With the TPS2390 and TPS2391, both inrush slew rate limiting and a fault time-out period are
externally programmable using capacitors. On the EVM, several options are provided for slew
rate limiting, for quick comparison of the effect of capacitor value on this function. The capacitors
can be quickly switched in and out of the circuit via the DIP switch. Fault timing programming is
set up in a similar manner; some amount of capacitance is hard-wired into the circuit, with the
option of switching in additional capacitance.
Test points are provided throughout the circuit for easy voltage monitoring via oscilloscope or
voltmeter. The test point connections are listed in Table 4.
A pictorial of the simple –48–V hot swap EVM is shown in Figure 1.

2.3 Simple –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. However, under no circumstances should the EVM kit be
operated beyond the absolute maximum conditions specified in Table 2.

3.2 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.
2. Set the DIP switches 1 through 4 of switch SW1 to the ON position.
3. Turn on the power supply and adjust the output for about 48 V. Verify the supply current
limit is set to allow at least 3 A. Turn off the power supply.
4. Connect the EVM and test equipment as shown in Figure 3.
5. On the oscilloscope, set the channel amplifiers to the following scales:
•CH1: 20 V/div
•CH2: 2 V/div
•CH3: 5 V/div
•CH4: 20 V/div
6. Set the scope to trigger on the rising edge of Channel 1, at approximately a 10-V level.
Set the scope timebase to 10 ms, and the trigger mode to NORMAL.
