Datasheet

General Description
The MAX5948A/MAX5948B are hot-swap controllers
that allow a circuit card to be safely hot plugged into a
live backplane. The MAX5948A/MAX5948B operate
from -20V to -80V and are well-suited for -48V power
systems. The MAX5948A is pin- and function-compati-
ble with both the LT1640AL and LT1640L. The
MAX5948B is pin- and function-compatible with both
the LT1640AH and LT1640H.
The MAX5948A/MAX5948B provide a controlled turn-on
to circuit cards preventing glitches on the power-supply
rail and damage to board connectors and components.
The MAX5948A/MAX5948B provide undervoltage, over-
voltage, and overcurrent protection. These devices
ensure the input voltage is stable and within tolerance
before applying power to the load.
Both the MAX5948A and MAX5948B protect a system
against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions by turning
off the external MOSFET in the event of a fault condition.
Both devices feature an open-drain power-good status
output, PWRGD for MAX5948A or PWRGD for
MAX5948B, that can be used to enable downstream
converters.
The MAX5948A/MAX5948B are available in an 8-pin SO
package. Both devices are specified for the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
