FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM5068 hot-swap controller provides intelligent
2
Safe Module Insertion and Removal from Live
control of power supply connections during the
Backplanes
insertion and removal of circuit cards powered by live
In-Rush Current Limiting for Safe Board
system backplanes.
Insertion into Live Backplanes
The LM5068 provides both in-rush current control and
Fast Response to Over-Current Fault
short-circuit protection functions, and limits power
Conditions with Active Current Limiting
supply transients in the backplane caused by the
-10V to -90V Input Range
insertion of additional circuit cards. The LM5068
controls the external N-Channel MOSFET to provide
Programmable Under-Voltage/Over-Voltage
programmable load current limiting and circuit
Shutdown Protection with Adjustable
breaker functions using a single external current
Hysteresis
sense resistor. The LM5068 issues a power good
Programmable Multi-Function Timer for Board
(PWRGD) signal at the conclusion of a successful
Insertion De-Bounce Delay
power-on sequence. Input over-voltage or under -
voltage fault conditions will cancel the PWRGD
Fault Timer Avoids Nuisance Trips Caused by
indication.
Short Duration Load Transients
Active Gate Clamping During Initial Power
The LM5068-1 and -2 indicate power-good as an
open-drain active HIGH PWRGD state. The LM5068-
Application
3 and -4 indicate power-good as an open-drain active
Available in both Latched Fault and Automatic
LOW PWRGD state. The LM5068-1 and -3 latch off
Re-Try Versions
after a fault condition is detected while the LM5068-2
Available with either Active HIGH or Active
and -4 continuously re-try at intervals set by a
LOW Power Good Flag
programmable timer.
The LM5068 is available in a VSSOP-8 package.
APPLICATIONS
- 48V Power Modules
Central Office Switching
