The IXHQ100 is a live insertion and removal hot swap controller with a built-in power noise filter. It incorporates all the active circuitry necessary to protect circuit boards during live insertion or removal (insertion or removal when the system power is active). Additionally, the IXHQ100 incorporates two unique features: power active filter for powerline noise suppression and power auto-disconnect detector which eliminates the need of additional staggered pins.
