MIC2594-2BM

Hot Swap Controllers Overview

The MIC2594-2BM is a single-channel hot swap controller designed for -48V applications. Manufactured by Microchip Technology, it operates in an 8-SOIC package. The device manages power insertion and removal without system disruption. It features programmable current limit and slew rate settings to control inrush current. The controller includes under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and fault timeout protection mechanisms. It does not contain an internal switch, requiring an external MOSFET. The component is classified as a Power Management IC (PMIC).

Hot Swap Controllers Feature Summary

• Provides latched fault protection with fault timeout functionality.
• Supports programmable current limiting and slew rate adjustment.
• Includes under-voltage lockout (UVLO) for input voltage monitoring.

Hot Swap Controllers Applications

• -48V telecommunications systems
• Industrial equipment power distribution
