MIC2587/MIC2587R
Single-Channel, Positive High-
Voltage Hot Swap Controller
Revision 2.0
General Description
The MIC2587 and MIC2587R are single-channel positive
voltage hot swap controllers designed to provide safe insertion and removal of boards for systems that require live (always-powered) backplanes. These devices use few external components and act as controllers for external Nchannel power
MOSFET devices to provide inrush current control and output
voltage slew rate control. Overcurrent fault protection is provided via programmable analog foldback current-limit circuitry equipped with a programmable overcurrent filter. These protection circuits combine to limit the power dissipation of the external
MOSFET to ensure that the
MOSFET is in its SOA during fault conditions. The MIC2587 provides a circuit breaker function that latches the output
MOSFET off if the load current exceeds the current limit threshold for the duration of the programmable timer. The MIC2587R provides a circui...
