MAX5926EEE+

Hot Swap Controllers Overview

The MAX5926EEE+ is a positive hot-swap controller manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand, designed for safe insertion and removal of circuit boards from live backplanes. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 18V and supports load currents up to 10A. The device features adjustable current limit and soft-start times, along with power-limiting capabilities to prevent bus collapse during high-inrush events. It is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Hot Swap Controllers Feature Summary

• Integrated power-limiting circuitry prevents backplane voltage collapse during high-inrush conditions
• Adjustable current limit and soft-start controls manage inrush current and output voltage ramp rates
• Built-in fault protection includes overcurrent, overtemperature, and undervoltage lockout mechanisms

Hot Swap Controllers Applications

• Hot-swappable server blade insertion and removal
• Telecommunications equipment board replacement
• Industrial control system module swapping

Hot Swap Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors due to potential counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for end-of-life notices or obsolescence warnings prior to procurement. Ensure packaging integrity matches specified QSOP-16 requirements for surface-mount assembly processes.

Hot Swap Controllers Selection Notes

Select this controller when designing systems requiring safe board insertion into live backplanes without disrupting other connected modules. Consider the maximum supported load current and input voltage range relative to your specific application requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the expected power dissipation during hot-swap operations.
