DESCRIPTION
The LM25061 positive hot swap controller provides
intelligent control of the power supply voltage to the
load during insertion and removal of circuit cards from
a live system backplane or other "hot" power sources.
The LM25061 provides in-rush current control to limit
system voltage droop and transients. The current limit
and power dissipation in the external series pass N-
Channel MOSFET are programmable, ensuring
operation within the Safe Operating Area (SOA). The
POWER GOOD output indicates when the output
voltage exceeds a programmable threshold. The
input under-voltage level and hysteresis are
programmable, as well as the initial insertion delay
time and fault detection time. The LM25061-1 latches
off after a fault detection, while the LM25061-2
automatically restarts at a fixed duty cycle. The
LM25061 is available in a 10 pin VSSOP package.
