MAX5955BEEE+T

Hot Swap Controllers Overview

The MAX5955BEEE+T is a low-voltage, dual hot-swap controller manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1V to 13.2V and draws a typical operating supply current of 1.2mA. The device is housed in a 16-lead QSOP package with an exposed pad and supports surface-mount installation. It functions across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include adjustable current limiting and power-fail detection capabilities.

Hot Swap Controllers Feature Summary

• Provides independent on/off control for two channels
• Features adjustable current limiting and programmable fault timeouts
• Includes overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
• Supports automatic retry functionality upon fault clearance

Hot Swap Controllers Applications

• Hot-swap insertion into live backplanes
• Power distribution systems requiring controlled ramp-up
• Equipment where inrush current must be limited during module insertion

Hot Swap Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging rather than tube. Confirm RoHS compliance status as specified in the official datasheet. Ensure the QSOP-16 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check for any specific ordering restrictions or regional availability limitations before finalizing procurement.

Hot Swap Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel hot-swap control with independent switching is required. It is suitable for applications needing adjustable current limits and fault protection without internal switches. Consider the 16-QSOP package size for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 1V to 13.2V input range aligns with your system's power rails.

Hot Swap Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5955 family of low-voltage hot-swap controllers. It shares core features with variants like the MAX5955AUEE+ but differs in package type and reel configuration. The MAX5955 series is designed for general-purpose hot-swap applications, offering robust protection against short circuits and overcurrent conditions during board insertion.

Hot Swap Controllers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MAX5955 variants such as MAX5955BUEE+T, which offers similar functionality in different packaging. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical specifications carefully. Ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs when swapping between tube and reel packages.
