STMicroelectronics STEF512SRDB
The STEF512SRDB is an integrated dual electronic fuse, designed to protect circuitry on the output from overcurrent and overvoltage events, in those applications requiring hot-swap operation and in-rush current control. The device embeds two electronic fuses, one for the 5 V rail and one for the 12 V rail. The 5 V channel provides a reverse blocking feature, preventing current flow to the input in case of brownout or shutdown.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
Thanks to the very low ON-resistance of the integrated power MOSFETs, the voltage drop from the main supply to the load is very low during normal operation. The start-up time of each eFuse can be adjusted by the user, via two small soft-start capacitors, connected to the relevant pins. In this way the in-rush current at startup can be kept under control. The maximum load current is precisely limited, by utilizing a sense FET topology, to factory-defined values.
