Evaluation Modules for Simple 48-V Hot Swap Controllers
2.3 Simple 48-V Hot Swap EVM Operating Specifications
The 48V hot swap EVM is intended to allow some degree of user reconfiguration. This allows
designers to set up the circuit to better represent the characteristics of their target application.
Potential modifications include changing the current limit threshold, the inrush limiting, the fault
timing, and load characteristics. However, under no circumstances should the EVM kit be
operated beyond the absolute maximum conditions specified in Table 2.
