MAX5936ACESA+

Hot Swap Controllers Overview

The MAX5936ACESA+ is a high-voltage, single-channel hot-swap controller designed for safe connection and disconnection of loads from high-voltage power supplies. It operates within an input voltage range of -80V to -10V. The device integrates no internal switch, requiring external MOSFETs. It features Vin step immunity and eliminates the need for current-sense resistors. Packaged in an 8-SOIC surface-mount format, it supports programmable current limiting and soft-start functions to prevent inrush currents during board insertion.

Hot Swap Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels due to availability constraints. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment against datasheet specifications. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly. Validate that the specific suffix matches design requirements without unintended functional variations.

Hot Swap Controllers Selection Notes

Select this controller when designing systems requiring robust protection against inrush currents and overcurrent conditions during live board insertion. It serves as a drop-in replacement for obsolete legacy hot-swap controllers. Evaluate compatibility with external MOSFET selection based on thermal and voltage ratings required for the specific application load.

Hot Swap Controllers Part Context

This component belongs to the Maxim Integrated hot-swap voltage controller family, categorized under PMIC solutions.
