The LM5067 negative hot swap controller provides intelligent control of the power supply connections during insertion and removal of circuit cards from a live system backplane or other "hot" power sources. The LM5067 provides in-rush current control to limit system voltage droop and transients. The current limit and power dissipation in the external series pass NChannel MOSFET are programmable, ensuring operation within the Safe Operating Area (SOA). In addition, the LM5067 provides circuit protection by monitoring for overcurrent and over-voltage conditions. The POWER GOOD output indicates when the output voltage is close to the input voltage. The input under-voltage and over-voltage lockout levels and hysteresis are programmable, as well as the fault detection time. The LM5067-1 latches off after a fault detection, while the LM5067-2 automatically attempts restarts at a fixed duty cycle. The LM5067 is available in a 10 pin MSOP package and a 14 pin SOIC package.
