Data Sheet
Negative Voltage Hot Plug Controller
The ISL6142/52 are 14 pin, negative voltage hot plug controllers that allow a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. Inrush current is limited to a programmable value by controlling the gate voltage of an external N-channel pass transistor. The pass transistor is turned off if the input voltage is less than the Under-Voltage threshold, or greater than the OverVoltage threshold. The PWRGD/PWRGD outputs can be used to directly enable a power module. When the Gate and DRAIN voltages are both considered good the output is latched in the active state.
The IntelliTripTM electronic circuit breaker and programmable current limit features protect the system against short circuits.
