0V to 16V, Dual Hot-Swap Controller with 10-Bit
Current and Voltage Monitor and 4 LED Drivers
General Description
The MAX5970 dual hot-swap controller provides com-
plete protection for systems with two supply voltages
from 0V to +16V. The MAX5970 includes four program-
mable LED outputs. The two hot-swap channels can be
configured to operate as independent hot-swap control-
lers, or as a pair operating together so that both chan-
nels shut down if either channel experiences a fault.
The MAX5970 provides two programmable levels of
overcurrent circuit-breaker protection: a fast-trip thresh-
old for a fast turn-off, and a lower slow-trip threshold for
a delayed turn-off. The maximum overcurrent circuit-
breaker threshold range is set independently for each
channel with a trilevel logic input IRNG_, or by program-
ming though the I
2
C interface.
The MAX5970 is an advanced hot-swap controller that
monitors voltage and current with an internal 10-bit
ADC which is continuously multiplexed to convert the
output voltage and current of both hot-swap channels at
10ksps. Each 10-bit sample is stored in an internal circu-
lar buffer so that 50 past samples of each signal can be
read back through the I
2
C interface at any time or after
a fault condition.
The device includes five user-programmable digital
comparators per hot-swap channel to implement over-
current warning and two levels of overvoltage/undervolt-
age detection. When any of the measured values violates
the programmable limits, an external
ALERT
output is
asserted. In addition to the
ALERT
signal, the MAX5970
can be programmed to deassert the power-good signal
and/or turn off the external MOSFET.
The MAX5970 features four I/Os that can be indepen-
dently configured as general-purpose inputs/outputs
(GPIOs) or as open-drain LED drivers with program-
mable blinking. These four I/Os can be configured for
any mix of LED driver or GPIO function.
The MAX5970 is available in a 36-pin thin QFN-EP pack-
age and operates over the -40NC to +85NC extended
temperature range.

Note 1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal consideration, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
**As per JEDEC51 Standard (Multilayer Board)
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.
