Features
The MAX5976A/MAX5976B are integrated solutions for
hot-swap applications requiring the safe insertion and
removal of circuit line cards from a live backplane. The
devices integrate a hot-swap controller, 24mI power
MOSFET, and electronic circuit-breaker protection in a
single package. The ICs are designed for protection of
2.7V to 18V supply voltages.
S 2.7V to 18V Operating Voltage Range
S 24mI Internal Power MOSFET
S 7A Load Current Capability
S No Sense Resistor Required
S ±10% Circuit-Breaker Threshold Accuracy
S Adjustable Circuit-Breaker Current
The devices provide inrush current control and shortcircuit detection during startup. During normal operation,
the devices provide circuit-breaker protection against
overload and short-circuit conditions. The circuit-breaker
function disconnects the power to the load if the load
current exceeds the circuit-breaker limit. The devices
are factory-calibrated to deliver accurate overcurrent
protection with Q10% accuracy. During a fault condition, the MAX5976A enters an autoretry mode while the
MAX5976B latches off. Both versions feature a resistoradjustable variable speed circuit-breaker threshold and
overtemperature protection. Additional features include
power-good and fault indicator outputs.

Note 3: All devices are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Note 4: The current-limit slow-comparator response time is weighed against the amount of overcurrent so that the higher the overcurrent condition, the faster the response time.

Enable Logic and
Undervoltage Lockout Threshold
The MAX5976A/MAX5976B enable the output as shown
in Table 1. The ICs turn on the output only when VON1
is high (VON1 > 1.21V) while ON2 and PRESDET are
low. The devices turn off the output when VON1 falls
below 1.21V - VHYS or whenever ON2 or PRESDET are
above VIH. A resistive divider from IN to ON1 and ground
provides the flexibility to set the undervoltage lockout
threshold to any desired level between VUVLO and 18V.
See Figure 1 and Setting the Undervoltage Threshold in
the Applications Information section.
Startup
Once the MAX5976A/MAX5976B output is enabled, the
device provides controlled application of power to a load.
The voltage at OUT will begin to rise at approximately
18kV/s until the programmed circuit-breaker current level
is reached, at which time the MAX5976A/MAX5976B will
actively limit inrush current at the circuit-breaker setting.

OUT
Because of this, the inrush current can be easily programmed by appropriate selection of RCB. This startup
mode of operation will continue for up to 16ms; after the
startup time elapses, the output will either have risen to
the IN potential, or if the device is still in current limit, it
will shut down and assert the FAULT output low.
The resulting dVOUT/dt during startup can be determined according to the following equation:
dVOUT/dt ≈ (ICB - ILOAD)/COUT
In this equation, ILOAD is any current drawn by a load
device during the output ramp time that does not charge
COUT. Make certain that RCB is chosen such that:
VIN x COUT/(ICB - ILOAD) < 16ms
This ensures that the output capacitance can be fully
charged before the 16ms startup timer elapses.
An open-drain power-good output goes high-impedance
16ms (typ) after the output has risen to more than 90% of
the input voltage to indicate a successful startup.
Charge Pump
An integrated charge pump provides the gate-drive voltage for the internal power MOSFET. The charge pump
generates +5V potential above VIN to fully enhance the
internal power MOSFET.
Circuit-Breaker Comparator
The current through the internal power MOSFET is compared to a circuit-breaker threshold. An external resistor
between CB and ground sets this threshold.
The circuit-breaker comparator is designed so that the
load current can exceed the threshold for some amount
of time before tripping. The time delay varies inversely
with the overdrive above the threshold. The greater the
overcurrent condition, the faster the response time allowing the devices to tolerate load transients and noise near
the circuit-breaker threshold.
The ICs also feature catastrophic short-circuit protection. During normal operation, if OUT is shorted directly
to ground, a fast protection circuit forces the gate of the
internal MOSFET to discharge quickly and disconnect
the output from the input.
Autoretry/Latch-Off
ACTIVEHIGH
ENABLE
During a fault condition, the devices turn off the internal MOSFET disconnecting the output from the input.
The MAX5976A enters an autoretry mode with a fixed
250ms lockout time before reconnect can occur. The
MAX5676B latches off and remains off until the enable
logic is cycled off and on.

Detailed Description
MAX5976A/MAX5976B
2.7V to 18V, 7A, Hot-Swap Solution
Power-Good Delay
The devices feature an open-drain, power-good output
that asserts after 16ms (typ), indicating that OUT has
reached (0.9 x VIN) voltage.
devices' internal switch goes into normal operation. Use
the following equation to calculate the resistors values for
the desired undervoltage threshold:
 VIN

R1 = 
- 1 × R2
V

 ON1_TH 
REG
The devices include a linear regulator that outputs
2.6V at REG. REG provides power to the internal circuit
blocks of the ICs and must not be loaded externally. REG
requires a 1FF capacitor to ground for proper operation.
Fault Status Output (FAULT)
FAULT is an open-drain output that pulls low when a current limit or an overtemperature fault shutdown occurs.
FAULT remains low until the next startup cycle. FAULT is
capable of sinking up to 5mA when asserted.
Thermal Protection
The devices enter a thermal shutdown mode in the event
of overheating caused by excessive power dissipation
or high ambient temperature. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +150NC (typ), the internal thermal
protection circuitry turns off the internal power MOSFET.
The devices recover from thermal shutdown mode once
the junction temperature drops by 20NC (typ).
where VIN is the desired turn-on voltage for the output
and VON1 is 1.21V. R1 and R2 create a resistive divider
from VIN to ON1. During normal operating conditions,
VON1 must remain above its 1.21V (typ) threshold. If
VON1 falls 100mV (VON1_HYS) below the threshold, the
internal MOSFET turns off, disconnecting the load from
the input.
Setting the Current Limit
An external resistor from CB to ground sets the current
limit for the devices. Use the following formula to set the
current limit:
 0.175A 
ILIMIT (A) = 
 × R CB (Ω)
 1000Ω 
Applications Information
Setting the Undervoltage Threshold
The devices feature an independent ON/OFF control
(ON1) for the internal MOSFET. The devices operate
with a 2.7V to 18V input voltage range and has a default
2.5V (typ) undervoltage lockout threshold. The internal
MOSFET remains off as long as VIN < 2.5V and/or VON1
< VON1_TH. The undervoltage lockout threshold is programmable using a resistive divider between ON1 and
GND (Figure 1). When VIN is greater than 2.7V and VON1
exceeds the 1.21V (typ) threshold, the gate of the internal MOSFET enhances to 5V, with respect to VIN and the
8
