2.7V to 18V, 7A, Hot-Swap Solution
MAX5976A/MAX5976B
General Description
The MAX5976A/MAX5976B are integrated solutions for hot-swap applications requiring the safe insertion and removal of circuit line cards from a live backplane. The devices integrate a hot-swap controller, 24mI power MOSFET, and electronic circuit-breaker protection in a single package. The ICs are designed for protection of 2.7V to 18V supply voltages.
The devices provide inrush current control and shortcircuit detection during startup. During normal operation, the devices provide circuit-breaker protection against overload and short-circuit conditions. The circuit-breaker function disconnects the power to the load if the load current exceeds the circuit-breaker limit.
