Dual, 7.5V to 76V, Hot-Swap and
Diode ORing Controller
MAX5963
General Description
Features
The MAX5963 dual hot-swap and diode ORing con-
troller provides complete protection for dual-supply high
availability systems. The device operates from 7.5V to
76V and provides hot-swap and low voltage-drop diode
ORing functionality for two 7.5V to 76V outputs.
o Hot Swaps Two 7.5V to 76V Supplies
o Integrates Low-Voltage-Drop ORing Controller

The MAX5963 allows for the safe insertion and removal
®
of system line cards and FireWire peripherals into a
Tiꢄeout
live backplane by providing inrush current control and
active current limiting. The device controls external
n-channel power MOSFETs to perform low-voltage-drop
ORing, inrush current control, and current limiting func-
tions. The current-limit function actively limits the cur-
rent drawn by the load, protecting the load from a
short-circuit condition. The MAX5963 also features a
circuit-breaker function that disconnects the power to
the load if the load current exceeds the circuit-breaker
limit for a programmable circuit-breaker timeout.
o 10µꢁ Power-Off Mode Current
o ProteAts Up to Two FireWire Ports
o Scsteꢄ Power-OnꢅOff ORing
o LatAhoff or ꢁutoretrc Power Manageꢄent
o Independent ONꢅOFF Control ꢁllows

The MAX5963 features an autoretry/latchoff input. In
autoretry mode, the MAX5963 automatically restarts the
turned-off channel after a programmable delay. In
latchoff mode, the MAX5963 latches the channel off.
