MIC2587/MIC2587R
Single-Channel, Positive High-Voltage
Hot Swap Controller
General Description
The MIC2587 and MIC2587R are single-channel positive
voltage hot swap controllers designed to provide safe
insertion and removal of boards for systems that require
live (always-powered) backplanes. These devices use few
external components and act as controllers for external N-
channel power MOSFET devices to provide inrush current
control and output voltage slew rate control. Overcurrent
fault protection is provided via programmable analog
foldback current limit circuitry equipped with a
programmable overcurrent filter. These protection circuits
combine to limit the power dissipation of the external
MOSFET to insure that the MOSFET is in its SOA during
fault conditions. The MIC2587 provides a circuit breaker
function that latches the output MOSFET off if the load
current exceeds the current limit threshold for the duration
of the programmable timer. The MIC2587R provides a
circuit breaker function that automatically attempts to
restart power after a load current fault at a low duty cycle to
prevent the MOSFET from overheating. Each device
provides either an active-HIGH (-1BM) or an active-LOW
(-2BM) “Power-is-Good” signal to indicate that the output
load voltage is within tolerance.
