Low Voltage Hot Swap Controllers
Analog Devices’ low voltage hot swap ICs feature operating voltages down to 0 V. With features such as multilevel overcurrent protection, low quiescent current operation, precision circuit breaker, current monitoring output, internal (10 A and 20 A with guaranteed SOA) or external MOSFETs, an integrated ADC with an I2C interface, SOA sharing dual current paths, ideal diode control, supply sequencing, or tracking in multiple-supply applications, these controllers offer a compact and robust solution for board or blade insertion into live backplanes of either proprietary or standards-based (MicroTCA, AMC) chassis.
