The Cool-Swap PI2211 hot swap controller and circuit breaker offers an operating range from +0.9 to +14 V and features the Picor true-SOA and glitch-catcher technologies. The device provides backplane and system protection while reducing board space.
The programmable hot-swap controller provides safe operation at both the system and MOSFET level during both circuit card insertion and steady state operation. The True-SOA feature provides MOSFET protection by emulating the transient thermal performance of the specific MOSFET in use. The device can adapt its control, start-up and thermal cycling to the specific user-selected external n-channel MOSFET requirements. The glitch-catcher voltage suppression technology mitigates the need for large external protection components by diminishing transient overshoot events and maintaining compliance with the specified voltage ratings.
