19-1472; Rev 0; 4/99 Current-Regulating Hot-Swap Controller with DualSpeed/BiLevel Fault Protection General Description The MAX4370 is a circuit-breaker IC designed to offer protection in hot-swap applications using Maxim’s DualSpeed/BiLevel™ detection. This controller, designed to reside either on the backplane or on the removable card, is used to protect a system from startup damage when a card or board is inserted into a rack with the main system power supply turned on. The card’s discharged filter capacitors provide a low impedance that can momentarily cause the main power supply to collapse. The MAX4370 prevents this start-up condition by providing inrush current regulation during a programmable start-up period, allowing the system to stabilize safely.
