General Description
The MIC2582 and MIC2583 are single channel positive voltage hot swap controllers designed to allow the safe insertion of boards into live system backplanes. The MIC2582 and MIC2583 are available in 8-pin SOIC and 16-pin QSOP packages, respectively. Using a few external components and by controlling the gate drive of an external N-Channel MOSFET device, the MIC2582/83 provide inrush current limiting and output voltage slew rate control in harsh, critical power supply environments. Additionally, a circuit breaker function will latch the output MOSFET off if the current limit threshold is exceeded for a determined period. The MIC2583R option includes an auto-restart function upon detecting an overcurrent condition.
