+72V, SOT23/TDFN, Simple Swapper Hot-Swap
Controllers
General Description
Features
The MAX5902/MAX5903 are hot-swap controllers that
allow a circuit card to be safely hot plugged into a live
backplane without causing a glitch on the power-sup-
ply rail. These devices operate from +9V to +72V and
provide the simplest hot-swap solution by eliminating all
external components except the external p-channel
MOSFET.
♦ Wide +9V to +72V Operation
♦ Requires No External Sense Resistor
♦ Drives External p-Channel MOSFET
♦ Limits Inrush Current
♦ Circuit-Breaker Function
The MAX5902/MAX5903 limit the inrush current to the
load and provide a circuit-breaker function for overcurrent
protection. During startup the circuit-breaker function is
disabled and the MAX5902/MAX5903 limit the inrush cur-
rent by gradually turning on the external MOSFET. Once
the external MOSFET is fully enhanced, the circuit-break-
er function is enabled and the MAX5902/MAX5903 pro-
vide overcurrent protection by monitoring the voltage
drop across the external MOSFET’s on-resistance.
♦ Less than 2mA Quiescent Current
♦ ON/OFF Input Permits Load Power-Supply
Control and Sequencing
♦ Adjustable Undervoltage Lockout
♦ Power-Good Output with +72V Rating
♦ Latching or Automatic Retry Fault Management
The MAX5902/MAX5903 include an undervoltage lock-
out (UVLO) function, ON/OFF control input, and a
power-good status output, PGOOD (MAX5902) or
PGOOD (MAX5903). A built-in thermal shutdown fea-
ture is also included to protect the external MOSFET in
case of overheating.
♦ Thermal Shutdown Helps Protect the External
MOSFET
♦ Available in Two Small Packages
6-Pin TDFN and SOT23
Ordering Information
The MAX5902/MAX5903 offer latched or autoretry fault
management and are available with 300mV, 400mV or
500mV circuit-breaker thresholds. Both the MAX5902 and
MAX5903 are available in small SOT23 and TDFN pack-
ages, and are specified for the extended -40°C to +85°C
temperature range. For specific ordering information, see
the Selector Guide at the end of the data sheet.
