-48V Hot-Swap Controller with V

Step Immunity,
No R

, and Overvoltage Protection
MAX5938
General Description
The MAX5938 is a hot-swap controller for -10V to -80V
rails. The MAX5938 allows circuit line cards to be safely
hot-plugged into a live backplane without causing a
glitch on the power supply. It integrates an adjustable
circuit-breaker function requiring no R
SENSE
.
The MAX5938 provides a controlled turn-on for circuit
cards, which limits inrush current and prevents both
glitches on the power-supply rail and damage to board
connectors and components. Before startup, the
MAX5938 performs a Load Probe™ test to detect the
presence of a short-circuit condition. If a short-circuit
condition does not exist, the device limits the inrush cur-
rent drawn by the load by gradually turning on the exter-
nal MOSFET. Once the external MOSFET is fully
enhanced, the MAX5938 provides overcurrent and short-
circuit protection by monitoring the voltage drop across
the R
DS(ON)
of the external power MOSFET. The
MAX5938 integrates a 400mA fast GATE pulldown to
guarantee that the external MOSFET is rapidly turned off
in the event of an overcurrent or short-circuit condition.
The MAX5938 also protects the system against input
voltage (V
IN
) steps. During an input voltage step, the
device limits the current drawn by the load to a safe level
without shutting down the load. The device also includes
ON/OFF control, selectable PGOOD output polarity,
undervoltage (UV) and overvoltage (OV) protection.
The device offers latched (MAX5938L) or autoretry
(MAX5938A) fault management. Both the MAX5938A
and MAX5938L are available in a 16-pin QSOP package
and are specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C)
temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
