5V & 3.3V Hot Swap Controller

Reference Design LogoThis reference design implements a hot swap controller design within a Power Manager II mixed-signal PLD. The design manages 5V and 3.3V supply rails to limit inrush current to a user-defined level. It also initiates a shut-down if either supply exhibits a short-circuit. By sensing the voltage across the MOSFET and limiting the inrush current, the design operates the transistors in the Safe Operation Area (SOA).

 

Features

  • 5V and 3.3V hot-swap controller
    • Operate MOSFETs in Safe Operation Area (SOA)
    • Short circuit protection
    • Protection against over current faults during operation
  • Programmable SOA and over current levels for both 5V and 3.3V
  • Customize the design to suit most MOSFETs
  • Initial contact de-bounce period programmable from 32us to 2 seconds
