tribution controller that can be used in PCI Express (PCIe) applications. Two external N-channel MOSFETs are driven to distribute and control power while providing load fault isolation. At turn-on, the gate of each external N-channel MOSFET is charged with a 10µA current source. Capacitors on each gate create a programmable ramp (soft turn-on) to control in-rush currents, as Figure 1 shows. A built-in charge pump supplies the gate drive for the 12V supply N-channel MOSFET switch. Two external current sense resistors and FETs provide overcurrent (OC) protection. When the current through either resistor exceeds the user prog
