Pushbutton On/Off

Controller

The LTC

2950 is a micropower, wide input voltage range,

pushbutton ON/OFF controller. The part contains a pushbut-

ton input with independently programmable ON and OFF

debounce times that control the toggling of an open drain

enable output. The part also contains a simple micropro-

cessor interface to allow for proper system housekeeping

prior to power down. Under system fault conditions, an

internal KILL timer ensures proper power down.

The LTC2950 operates over a wide 2.7V to 26.4V input

voltage range to accommodate a wide variety of input

power supplies. Very low quiescent current (6µA typical)

makes the LTC2950 ideally suited for battery powered

applications. Two versions of the part are available to ac-

commodate either positive or negative enable polarities.

The parts are available in either 8-lead 3mm × 2mm DFN

or ThinSOT packages.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings

may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute

Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device

reliability and lifetime.

Note 2: All currents into pins are positive; all voltages are referenced to

GND unless otherwise noted.

Note 3: The KILL turn on blanking timer period is the waiting period

immediately after the enable output is asserted. This blanking time allows

sufficient time for the DC/DC converter and the µP to perform power up

tasks. The KILL and PB inputs are ignored during this period. If KILL remains

low at the end of this time period, the enable output is released, thus turning

off system power. This time delay does not include tDB, ON or tONT.

Note 4: The KILL turn off delay is the maximum delay from the initiation

of a shutdown sequence (INT falling), to the release of the enable output.

If the KILL input switches low at any time during this period, enable is

released, thus turning off system power. This time is internally fixed at

1024ms. This time delay does not include tDB, OFF or tOFFT.

Note 5: The enable lock out time is designed to allow an application to

properly power down such that the next power up sequence starts from a

consistent powered down configuration. PB is ignored during this lock out

time. This time delay does not include tDB, ON or tONT.

VIN (Pin 1/Pin 4): Power Supply Input: 2.7V to 26.4V.

PB (Pin 2/Pin 3): Pushbutton Input. Connecting PB to

ground through a momentary switch provides on/off

control via the EN/EN pin. An internal 100k pull-up resis-

tor connects to an internal 1.9V bias voltage. The rugged

PB input can be pulled up to 26.4V externally without

consuming extra current.

ONT (Pin 3/Pin 2): Additional Adjustable Turn On Time

Input. Placing an external capacitor to ground determines

the additional time (beyond the internal default 32ms)

the PB pin must be held low before the enable output

is asserted. Floating this pin results in a default turn on

debounce time of 32ms.

GND (Pin 4/Pin 1): Device Ground.

INT (Pin 5/Pin 8): Open Drain Interrupt Output. After a

pushbutton turn-off event is detected, the LTC2950 inter-

rupts the system (µP) by bringing the INT pin low. Once the

system finishes its power down and housekeeping tasks,

it sets KILL low, which in turn releases the enable output.

If at the end of the power down timer (1024ms) KILL is

still high, the enable output is released immediately. INT

may optionally be tied to KILL to release the enable output

immediately after the turn-off event has been detected

(INT = low).

EN (LTC2950-1, Pin 6/Pin 7): Open Drain Enable Output.

This pin is intended to enable system power. EN is asserted

high after a valid PB turn on event. EN is released low if: a)

KILL is not driven high (by µP) within 512ms of the initial

valid PB power turn-on event, b) KILL is driven low dur-

ing normal operation, c) a second valid PB event (power

turn-off) is detected. This pin can connect directly to a

DC/DC converter shutdown pin that provides an internal

pull-up. Otherwise a pull-up resistor to an external supply

is required. The operating range for this pin is 0V to 10V.

EN (LTC2950-2, Pin 6/Pin 7): Open Drain Enable Output.

This pin is intended to enable system power. EN is asserted

low after a valid PB turn-on event. EN releases high if: a)

KILL is not driven high (by µP) within 512ms of the initial

valid PB power turn-on event, b) KILL is driven low dur-

ing normal operation, c) a second valid PB event (power

turn-off) is detected. This pin can connect directly to a

DC/DC converter shutdown pin that provides an internal

pull-up. Otherwise a pull-up resistor to an external supply

is required. The operating range of this pin is 0V to 10V.

OFFT (Pin 7/Pin 6): Additional Adjustable Turn Off Time

Input. A capacitor to ground determines the additional

time (beyond the internal default 32ms) that the PB pin

must be held low before initiating a power down sequence

(INT falling). Floating this pin results in a default turn off

time of 32ms.

KILL (Pin 8/Pin 5): KILL Input. Forcing KILL low releases

the enable output. During system turn on, this pin is blanked

by a 512ms internal timer to allow the system to pull KILL

high. This pin has an accurate 0.6V threshold and can be

used as a voltage monitor input. If unused, connect to a

low voltage output supply (see Figure 6).

Exposed Pad (Pin 9): Exposed Pad may be left open or

connected to device ground.

Description

The LTC2950 is a low power (6µA), wide input voltage

range (2.7V to 26.4V), pushbutton on/off controller that

can interface to a µP and a power supply. The turn-on and

turn-off debounce times are extendable using optional

external capacitors. A simple interface (INT output, KILL

input) allows a system to power on and power off in a

controlled manner.

Turn On

When power is first applied to the LTC2950, the part ini-

tializes the output pins. Any DC/DC converters connected

to the EN/EN pin will therefore be held off. To assert the

enable output, PB must be held low for a minimum of

32ms (tDB, ON). The LTC2950 provides additional turn on

debounce time via an optional capacitor connected to the

ONT pin (tONT). The following equation describes the ad-

ditional time that PB must be held low before asserting

the enable output. CONT is the ONT external capacitor:

CONT = 1.56E-4 [µF/ms] • (tONT – 1ms)

Once the enable output is asserted, any DC/DC converters

connected to this pin are turned on. The KILL input from

the µP is ignored during a succeeding 512ms blanking

time (tKILL, ON BLANK). This blanking time represents the

maximum time required to power up the DC/DC converter

and the µP. If KILL is not brought high during this 512ms

time window, the enable output is released. The assumption

is that 512ms is sufficient time for the system to power up.

Turn Off

To initiate a power off sequence, PB must be held low for a

minimum of 32ms (tDB, OFF). Additional turn off debounce

time may be added via an optional capacitor connected

to the OFFT pin (tOFFT). The following equation describes

the additional time that PB must be held low to initiate a

power off sequence. COFFT is the OFFT external capacitor:

COFFT = 1.56E-4 [µF/ms] • (tOFFT – 1ms)

Once PB has been validly pressed, INT is switched low. This

alerts the µP to perform its power down and housekeeping

tasks. The power down time given to the µP is 1024ms.

Note that the KILL input can be pulled low (thereby releasing

the enable output) at any time after tKILL, ON BLANK period.

Simplified Power On/Off Sequence

Figure 1 shows a simplified LTC2950-1 power on and power

off sequence. A high to low transition on PB (t1) initiates

the power on sequence. This diagram does not show any

bounce on PB. In order to assert the enable output, the

PB pin must stay low continuously (PB high resets timers)

for a time controlled by the default 32ms and the external

ONT capacitor (t2–t1). Once EN goes high (t2), an internal

512ms blanking timer is started. This blanking timer is

designed to give sufficient time for the DC/DC converter

to reach its final voltage, and to allow the µP enough time

to perform power on tasks.

The KILL pin must be pulled high within 512ms of the EN

pin going high. Failure to do so results in the EN pin going

low 512ms after it went high. (EN = low, see Figure 2).

Note that the LTC2950 does not sample KILL and PB until

after the 512ms internal timer has expired. The reason PB

is ignored is to ensure that the system is not forced off

while powering on. Once the 512ms timer expires (t4), the

release of the PB pin is then debounced with an internal

32ms timer. The system has now properly powered on

and the LTC2950 monitors PB and KILL (for a turnoff

command) while consuming only 6µA of supply current.

A high to low transition on PB (t5) initiates the power off

sequence. PB must stay low continuously (PB high resets

debounce timer) for a period controlled by the default 32ms

and the external OFFT capacitor (t6–t5). At the completion

of the OFFT timing (t6), an interrupt (INT) is set, signifying

that EN will be switched low in 1024ms. Once a system

has finished performing its power down operations, it

can set KILL low (t7) and thus immediately set EN low),

terminating the internal 1024ms timer. The release of the

PB pin is then debounced with an internal 32ms timer.

The system is now in its reset state: where the LTC2950

is in low power mode (6µA). PB is monitored for a high

to low transition.

Figure 4 shows the µP turning power off. After a low on

KILL releases enable, the internal 256ms timer ignores

the PB pin. This is shown as tEN/EN, LOCKOUT in Figure 4.

LTC2950-1, LTC2950-2 VERSIONS

The LTC2950-1 (high true EN) and LTC2950-2 (low true

EN) differ only by the polarity of the EN/EN pin. Both ver-

sions allow the user to extend the amount of time that the

PB must be held low in order to begin a valid power on/

off sequence. An external capacitor placed on the ONT

pin adds additional time to the turn on time. An external

capacitor placed on the OFFT pin adds additional time to

the turn off time. If no capacitor is placed on the ONT

(OFFT) pin, then the turn on (off) duration is given by an

internally fixed 32ms timer.

The LTC2950 fixes the KILL turn off delay time (tKILL, OFF

DELAY) at 1024ms. This means that the EN/EN pin will be

switched low/high a maximum of 1024ms after initiating

a valid turn off sequence. Note that in a typical application,

a µP or µC would set KILL low prior to the 1024ms timer

period (t7 in Figure 1).

Figure 4. DC/DC Turn Off Blanking (LTC2950-1)

Aborted Power On Sequence

The power on sequence is aborted when the KILL remains

low after the end of the 512ms blanking time. Figure 2 is

a simplified version of an aborted power on sequence.

At time tABORT, since KILL is still low, EN pulls low (thus

turning off the DC/DC converter).

µP Turns Off Power During Normal Operation

Once the system has powered on and is operating nor-

mally, the µP can turn off power by setting KILL low, as

shown in Figure 3. At time tKILL, KILL is set low by the µP.

This immediately pulls EN low, thus turning off the DC/

DC converter.

DC/DC Turn Off Blanking

When the DC/DC converter is turned off, it can take a sig-

nificant amount of time for its output to decay to ground. It

is desirable to wait until the output of the DC/DC converter

is near ground before allowing the user (via PB) to restart

the converter. This condition guarantees that the µP has

always powered down completely before it is restarted.

The following equations describe the turn on and turn

capacitors:

tBD,ON + tONT = 32ms + 1ms + (6.7x106) • CONT

tBD,OFF + tOFFT = 32ms + 1ms + (6.7x106) • COFFT

High Voltage Pins

The VIN and PB pins can operate at voltages up to 26.4V.

PB can, additionally, operate below ground (–6V) without

latching up the device. PB has an ESD HBM rating of ±10kV.

If the pushbutton switch connected to PB exhibits high

leakage current, then an external pull-up resistor to VIN is

recommended. Furthermore, if the pushbutton switch is

physically located far from the LTC2950 PB pin, parasitic

capacitances may couple onto the high impedance PB

input. Additionally, parasitic series inductance may cause

unpredictable ringing at the PB pin. Placing a 5k resistor

from the PB pin to the pushbutton switch would mitigate

parasitic inductance problems. Placing a 0.1µF capacitor

on the PB pin would lessen the impact of parasitic capaci-

tive coupling.

Voltage Monitoring with KILL Input

The KILL pin can be used as a voltage monitor. Figure 5

shows an application where the KILL pin has a dual function.

It is driven by a low leakage open drain output of the µP. It

is also connected to a resistor divider that monitors battery

voltage (VIN). When the battery voltage falls below the set

value, the voltage at the KILL pin falls below 0.6V and the

EN pin is quickly pulled low. Note that the resistor values

should be as large as possible, but small enough to keep

leakage currents from tripping the 0.6V KILL comparator.

The DC/DC converter shown has an internal pull-up current

on its SHDN pin. A pull-up resistor on EN is thus not needed.

Operation Without µP

Figure 6 shows how to connect the KILL pin when there

is no circuitry available to drive it. The minimum pulse

width detected is 30µs. If there are glitches on the resistor

pull-up voltage that are wider than 30µs and transition

below 0.6V, then an appropriate bypass capacitor should

be connected to the KILL pin.

PowerPath™ Switching

The EN open drain output of the LTC2950-2 is designed to

switch on/off an external power PFET. This allows a user

to connect/disconnect a power supply (or battery) to its

load by toggling the PB pin. Figure 7 shows the LTC2950-2

controlling a two cell Li-Ion battery application. The INT

and KILL pins are connected to the output of the PFET

through a resistor divider. The KILL pin serves as a voltage

monitor. When VOUT drops below 6V, the EN pin is open

circuited 30µs later.

Figure 8. Noisy PB Trace

PB Pin in a Noisy Environment

The rugged PB pin is designed to operate in noisy envi-

ronments. Transients below ground (>–6V) and above VIN

(<30V) will not damage the rugged PB pin. Additionally,

the PB pin can withstand ESD HBM strikes up to ±10kV.

In order to keep external noise from coupling inside the

LTC2950, place an R-C network close to the PB pin. A 5k

resistor and a 0.1µF capacitor should suffice for most

noisy applications (see Figure 8).

External Pull-Up Resistor on PB

An internal pull-up resistor on the PB pin makes an ex-

ternal pull-up resistor unnecessary. Leakage current on

the PB board trace, however, will affect the open circuit

voltage on the PB pin. If the leakage is too large (>2µA),

the PB voltage may fall close to the threshold window. To

mitigate the effect of the board leakage, a 10k resistor to

VIN is recommended (see Figure 9).
