MAX5961
Description
The MAX5961 0 to 16V, quad, hot-swap controller provides plete protection for systems with up to four distinct supply voltages. The device allows the safe insertion and removal of circuit cards into live backplanes. The MAX5961 is an advanced hot-swap controller that monitors voltage and current with an internal 10-bit ADC. The device provides two levels of overcurrent circuit-breaker protection; a fast-trip threshold for a fast turn-off, and a lower slow-trip threshold for a delayed turn-off. The maximum overcurrent circuitbreaker threshold range is set independently for each channel with a trilevel input (ILIM_) or by programming though an I2C interface. The internal 10-bit ADC is multiplexed to monitor the output voltage and current of each hot-swap channel. The total time to cycle through all the eight measurements is 100µs (typ). Each 10-bit value is stored in an internal circular buffer so that 50 past samples of each signal can be read back through the I2C interface...
