The MAX5949A/MAX5949B are hot-swap controllers that
allow a circuit card to be safely hot plugged into a live
backplane. The MAX5949A/MAX5949B operate from
-20V to -80V and are well-suited for -48V power systems.
These devices are pin and function compatible with the
LT4250 and pin compatible with the LT1640.
The MAX5949A/MAX5949B provide a controlled turn-on
to circuit cards preventing glitches on the power-supply
rail and damage to board connectors and components.
The MAX5949A/MAX5949B provide undervoltage, overvoltage,
and overcurrent protection. These devices
ensure the input voltage is stable and within tolerance
before applying power to the load.
Both the MAX5949A and MAX5949B protect a system
against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions by turning
off the external MOSFET in the event of a fault condition.
The MAX5949A/MAX5949B also provide
protection against input voltage steps. During an input
voltage step, the MAX5949A/MAX5949B limit the current
drawn by the load to a safe level without turning off
power to the load.
Both devices feature an open-drain power-good status
output (PWRGD-bar for the MAX5949A or PWRGD for the
MAX5949B) that can be used to enable downstream
converters.
The MAX5949A/MAX5949B are available in an 8-pin SO
package. Both devices are specified for the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
