FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM5068 hot-swap controller provides intelligent
control of power supply connections during the
insertion and removal of circuit cards powered by live
system backplanes.

Safe Module Insertion and Removal from Live
Backplanes
In-Rush Current Limiting for Safe Board
Insertion into Live Backplanes
The LM5068 provides both in-rush current control and
short-circuit protection functions, and limits power
supply transients in the backplane caused by the
insertion of additional circuit cards. The LM5068
controls the external N-Channel MOSFET to provide
programmable load current limiting and circuit
breaker functions using a single external current
sense resistor. The LM5068 issues a power good
(PWRGD) signal at the conclusion of a successful
power-on sequence. Input over-voltage or under -
voltage fault conditions will cancel the PWRGD
indication.

Application
The LM5068-1 and -2 indicate power-good as an
open-drain active HIGH PWRGD state. The LM5068-
3 and -4 indicate power-good as an open-drain active
LOW PWRGD state. The LM5068-1 and -3 latch off
after a fault condition is detected while the LM5068-2
and -4 continuously re-try at intervals set by a
programmable timer.
Available in both Latched Fault and Automatic
Re-Try Versions
Available with either Active HIGH or Active
LOW Power Good Flag
The LM5068 is available in a VSSOP-8 package.
