MIC2580A
Hot-Swap PCI Power Controller
General Description
The MIC2580A is a hot-swap controller that provides for safe and orderly insertion and removal of PCI based adapter cards from a PCI hot-plug compliant system backplane or CompactPCI™ system.
The MIC2580A incorporates a circuit breaker function that protects all four supplies (+12V, +5V, +3.3V, and –12V) upon an overcurrent fault condition. Current foldback limiting prevents large transient currents caused by plugging adapter cards into live backplanes, such as in a CompactPCI system. A programmable slew-rate control limits high inrush currents to all loads that occur when power is applied to large capacitive loads.
