The devices feature an adjustable foldback current limit
and a soft-start that sets the di/dt of the inrush current.
An I
2
C interface configures the part to latch off or auto-
matically restart after the MAX5967B/MAX5967D detect
a current-limit fault.

The controllers have additional features to interrupt the
host when a fault has occurred, provide three general-
purpose outputs, notify when output power is good,
detect insertion of a load card, and power-up either
automatically upon insertion or wait for an I
2
C command
to turn on. The MAX5967B/MAX5967D are available in
a 24-pin TQFN-EP package and are specified over the
-40NC to +85NC temperature range.

The MAX5967B/MAX5967D hot-swap controllers allow
a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live
backplane. The devices are pin compatible with the
LTC4215-1 (MAX5967B) and LTC4215-3 (MAX5967D).
Using an external n-channel pass transistor, the board
supply voltage and inrush current are ramped up at an
adjustable rate. An I
2
C interface and on-board ADC
allow for monitoring of load current, voltage, and fault
status.
