General Description
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.
The MAX5963 allows for the safe insertion and removal
of system line cards and FireWire
?/DIV>
peripherals into a
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.
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.
The MAX5963 consumes less than 10礎 from the PWR
supply in system power-off mode.
The MAX5963 is available in a 40-pin TQFN package
(6mm x 6mm) and operates over the 0癈 to +85癈
upper commercial temperature range.
