Description
The MAX5961 0 to 16V, quad, hot-swap controller provides complete protection for systems with
Request Full Data Sheet
up to four distinct supply voltages. The device allows the safe insertion and removal of circuit
cards into live backplanes. The MAX5961 is an advanced hot-swap controller that monitors
voltage and current with an internal 10-bit ADC. The device provides two levels of overcurrent circuit-breaker protection; a fasttrip threshold for a fast turn-off, and a lower slow-trip threshold for a delayed turn-off. The maximum overcurrent circuitbreaker threshold range is set independently for each channel with a trilevel input (ILIM_) or by programming though an I²C
interface.
The internal 10-bit ADC is multiplexed to monitor the output voltage and current of each hot-swap channel. The total time to
cycle through all the eight measurements is 100µs (typ). Each 10-bit value is stored in an internal circular buffer so that 50 past
samples of each signal can be read back through the I²C interface at any time or after a fault condition.
The MAX5961 can be configured as four independent hot-swap controllers, hot-swap controllers operating in pairs, or as a group
of four hot-swap controllers.
The device also includes five digital comparators per hot-swap channel to implement overcurrent warning, two levels of
overvoltage detection, and two levels of undervoltage detection. The limits for overcurrent, overvoltage, and undervoltage are
user-programmable. When any of the measured values violates the programmable limits, an external active-low ALERT signal is
asserted. In addition to the active-low ALERT signal, depending on the selected operating mode, the MAX5961 can deassert a
power-good signal and/or turn-off the external MOSFET.
The MAX5961 is available in a 48-pin thin QFN package and operates over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
